Lava Computer SP-PCI installation manual

Changing the Com numbering of your SP-PCI

port (Windows 95/98/Me only)

Unless you already have more than 4 Com Ports installed in your PC, Windows will by default configure the SP-PCI as Com 5. If you wish to change this assigned Com number (e.g. reassign Com 5 to be Com 3), please use the Lava Com Port Redirect Utility included in the “Utils\Redirect“ subdirectory of your Installation Diskette. Such a reassignment may be necessary because some communications applications programs do not recognize port designations beyond Com

4.The Com Port Redirect utility will allow you to change the Com numbering of your ports without changing I/O address resources.

To install the Port Redirect Utility on your hard drive, insert the Installation Diskette into your floppy drive, click Start, Run and type A:\Utils\Redirect\Setup.

Changing the Com numbering of your SP-PCI

port (Windows 2000/XP only)

In Windows 2000, Com port numbering can be changed by double- clicking the serial port entry displayed in Windows' Device Manager (as described earlier). Go to Port Settings Advanced, and choose Com Port #.
