2.4 Selecting Serial/IP COM Ports
The Select Ports Window displays a list of COM ports available to become
Serial/IP COM ports. COM ports that already exist in the Windows operating
system (such as COM1 for a local serial port) are automatically excluded
from this list to prevent conflicts.
This window appears automatically at the end of the software installation by
the Serial/IP setup program. Later, you can use this window to change the
selected ports by using the Select Ports button in the Serial/IP Control
Panel.
In the Select Ports Window you select one or more new COM ports for
Serial/IP to create. Because some older client programs do not display COM
ports higher than COM4, consider selecting ports in the COM 1-4 range if you
will be using such applications.
The list of COM ports goes up to COM256. The number of COM ports that
you can select is limited by the license you have purchased. When you have
checked the maximum number of COM ports allowed by your license, the
other COM ports are greyed and no longer selectable.
Your changes become effective when you click the OK button. If
running Windows 98/95/Me, it is necessary to restart Windows.
Note: If you attempt to change the ports setting while one or more
Serial/IP COM ports are still in use by a PC application, your
changes will not be made and you will see a warning message
that the port assignments cannot be changed.
