Most systems support up to 255 COM ports; COM1 to COM8 are often assigned operating system functions by
default. You can check the current port assignment in the Device Manager on your computer. Some older systems
may not have more than eight ports; in that case you will need to assign the camera to one of these ports.
COM port
In the drop down box, select the number of the port you want to install (default: 100). COM ports in use are
marked "(used)" in the list.
Click this button to install the selected virtual COM port.
During the first installation of a virtual COM port, an additional broadcast port with number 255 is installed. Data
sent to this port will be forwarded to all paired cameras.
You can install any number of virtual COM ports on a single system.
