The pull-down menu allows users to select COM ports (RS232 serial port) so that the utility program knows where to connect to WiSER2400 radio unit. The pull- down menu becomes inactive and inaccessible when the connection between the WiSER2400 radio and the utility program is active.

If a COM port is successfully claimed by the utility, the Disconnect will be displayed on the button instead of Connect. Click Disconnect button to release the control of the COM port from the utility program.
