Chapter 7: Installing Virtual COM Ports

7.2 Matching the Serial Server and Virtual COM Port Settings

The settings of the virtual COM ports in the Device Manager and the Serial Server Configuration Menu must match. If the settings do not match, the virtual COM ports will not work. If these settings are changed in the Device Manager, it will only affect the operation of the virtual COM port. It will not change the settings stored in the Serial Server. Use the Serial Server Manager to change the Serial Server settings.

Step 1: Use Device Manager to View New Ports.

Confirm the virtual COM ports in the Device Manager.

Step 2: Double-click “Ports” to view the list of COM port numbers.

The installed Virtual COM port will be displayed as Serial Server (COM #).
