Changing the Com numbering of your Ports
Unless you already have more than 4 Com Ports installed in your PC, Windows will by default configure the LavaPort-Quad ports as Com5 through Com8. If you wish to change the Com number of any one of these ports (e.g. Assign Port A to be Com 3), please use the Lava Com Port Redirector Utility included in the“Utils“ subdirectory of your Lava Installation Diskette. This may be necessary because some communications applications programs do not recognize Port designations beyond Com 4. The Lava Com Port Redirect utility will allow you to change the Com numbering of your ports without changing I/O address resources.
To install the Lava Port Redirect utility on your hard drive, insert the LavaPort diskette into your floppy drive, click Start, Run and type A:\Utils\Setup.
