Chapter 7. Real COM Port Management

Port List

This list displays the port information of the selected target (only one target can be selected at a time).

ŠThe left column lists the target’s port numbers, the second column shows the COM port it is mapped to (if any), the third column shows its working mode, and the right column shows its status.

Note: The working mode refers to the setting for the port that was specified when the port was configured. See Port Config, page 31, for details.

ŠDouble clicking a port in the Port List brings up a Port Mapping dialog box that lets users select the number of COM ports they wish to map (i.e., virtual COM ports they wish to install). Only ports designated as Virtual Port ports can be mapped. See Port Mapping, page 78 for mapping details.

Note: The Port Mapping dialog box can also be invoked either by clicking MapTo… on the toolbar or selecting MapTo… from the menu.
