ID Numbers
Once the program has started, it looks for an SWCA programmed with an ID number of “1”. This is the default ID number of all adapters. If two adapters are connected to a PC with the same ID number, you will not be able to communicate with either until the adapters have different ID numbers.
Refer to Table
The program also assumes that the SWCA is connected to a serial port with a COM number of 1. If you are using a COM port other than one, refer to the paragraph in this section titled Changing the PC’s COM Port Number.
Changing the PC’s COM Port Number
To change the COM port number that the control panel simulator DOS program uses to find the adapter, add the COM port ID number
C:> SWCPS 2
This command causes the program to look at the COM 2 port on the PC for the SWCA adapters.
