That’s why the native COM ports on the motherboard can work fast with this function call, but the NPort requires much more time. In order to accommodate other applications that require a faster response time, the new NPort driver implements a new “Fast Flush” option. Note that by default, this function is disabled 9. After setting the COM Mapping, remember to select Apply Change to save the information in the host system registry. The host computer will not have the ability to use the COM port until after Apply Change is selected Off-line COM Mapping 2.
