Install the PCI/USB COM Port Utilities

(1) To use the PnP COM Rename utility, insert the PCI/USB COM Port Utility Disk and run Setup.exe. This will install COMTest and PnP COM Rename under Programs, B&B Electronics.

(2) The Rename utility will not be installed if you are running Windows 2000 or NT.

Using PnP COM Rename

(1) Shut down all programs that are accessing any Com ports.

(2) Start the PnP COM Rename Utility from the Programs menu under B&B Electronics.

(3) Read the Cautionary Warnings, it is possible to rename a PCI or USB serial port to a number already in use which will cause problems. If any problems occur after renaming, you may need to re-start the system and rerun the Rename utility to correct the situation or remove the serial card in the Device Manager. Then Refresh the Device Manager to detect the card and re-install the drivers. Determine which renamed COM port caused the problem, and do not use that name for a renamed port.

(4) Accept the conditions of use by clicking Yes or click No to exit.

(5) Select the currently named COM port number you want to change in the left window, then the new number in the right window. Then click Finish. Repeat for other ports as needed.
