STEP 7. Configure Your COM Ports

TIP:
If you select the same COM port for Input and Output, then data can be
received by and transmitted from the COM Port (this is fairly common). This
is required when sending data to the AIS device.
Input Ports: Designates COM ports that will receive data from hardware devices.
Output Ports: Designates COM ports to which data will be sent.
To Configure Input COM Ports
Select System Menu | Tools/Settings | Options | Ports: Configure Tab (Figure
2.24).
In the Input Ports column, check which COM port(s) are in use for each
hardware device connected to your computer.

To fine-tune your settings, you may wish to include or remove NMEA sentences
specific to the device connected to each COM Port. Tables 2.2-2.8 in Step 4 list
specific NMEA sentences for each device.
Click OK to save your changes.
From the COM# Input Configuration window, you can include or exclude specific
data sentences or entire device sentence streams. Click on the More Info button for
