Click the B&B Electronics Serial Adapters device to view the adapter. If you want other details, Select Properties.

Click Ports (COM & LPT) to view the COM numbers assigned by Windows to the card.

The 3PCIOSD1x card will have 3PCISD1 Port A (COMx). The COM port number will normally be COM5, if available.

17.You can now remove the driver disk, close the Windows, and check the new ports with your software.

If your software requires accessing a COM port below COM5, and you have unused COM numbers not occupied by a FAX/Modem or other device, you can re-assign the PCI card COM numbers using our B&B PnP COM Rename utility. Refer to Appendix F.
