Lava Computer 2SP-PCI - Manual (Page 6)

Changing the Com numbering of your 2SP-PCI
ports (Windows 95/98/Me only)
Changing the Com numbering of your 2SP-PCI
ports (Windows 2000/XP only)
Unless you already have more than 4 Com Ports installed in your PC,
Windows will by default configure the serial ports of the 2SP-PCI as Com
5 and Com 6. If you wish to change the assigned Com number of either
of these ports (e.g. reassign Port 1 to be Com 3), please use the Lava
Com Port Redirect Utility included in the “Utils\Redirect“ subdirectory of
your Installation Diskette. Such a reassignment may be necessary
because some communications applications programs do not recognize
port designations beyond Com 4. The Com Port Redirect utility will allow
you to change the Com numbering of your ports
.
To install the Port Redirect Utility on your hard drive, insert the
Installation Diskette into your floppy drive, click Start, Run and type
A:\Utils\Redirect\Setup.
In Windows 2000, Com port numbering can be changed by double-
clicking the serial port entry displayed in Windows' Device Manager. Go
to Port Settings | Advanced, and choose Com Port #.
