Question 4

When I install NPort 1220/1240 under Windows 2000/XP, the COM port number is assigned by which USB slot I use to connect to my computer. What happens if I change the USB slot?

Answer 4

The port number will change. Keep in mind that the port number is automatically assigned by the OS.

Question 5

Under Windows 2000, it seems that the more USB ports I install (e.g., close to 25 or 30 ports), the port throughput drops to around 1%. How do I get around this problem?

Answer 5

We recommend limiting to 16 ports the number of USB ports installed under Windows 2000.
