SERIAL PORTS
Figure 3-25: Serial Ports Dialog
The Serial Ports dialog appears.
NOTE: All the serial ports installed on your CPN-5000 are listed by
port number, with the device type displayed to the right of each num ber.
If the device type is in blue, it has been assigned through the autodetect
procedure at startup.
4. (optional) Select the device type you wish to have permanently assigned.
If the device type can be permanently assigned(some types cannot), the color
changes from blue to black. With the device permanently assigned, the next
time the CPN-5000 is powered up, the autodetect procedure will skip this
port. If the assigned device needs to be ini tialized at startup, it will be
initialized according to the device type listed.
NOTE: If the device type listed for a port cannot be permanently
assigned (for example: device type “unknown” or if you try to assign
more than one port for use with other systems(see Integrating the
CPN-5000 with Other Systems, on page 54)), there are two ways to change
it. The next two steps describe how.
5. (optional) Select the arrow to the right of the device type you wish to
change.
