Using the Redirector :: The Serial/IP Control Panel

Select Ports

The Select Ports command displays a window that allows you to see and change the Serial/IP COM ports.

To select virtual COM ports

In the Serial/IP Control Panel:

1. Click Select Ports.

2. Change the selected virtual COM ports by checking and clearing check boxes.  Corresponding COM port ranges will automatically appear in the lower panel.

3. Alternatively, you can directly edit the COM port ranges.  Use individual COM port numbers (such as 4, 5, 7) and/or ranges (such as 11-18, 30-53) separated by commas.  As you edit the COM port ranges, checkboxes in the upper panel will change accordingly.  (Invalid numbers or ranges will be displayed.)

4. Click OK.

 Tips

When the redirector is first installed, you must select at least one virtual COM port. You can add and remove virtual COM ports, as long as at least one remains selected.

 Notes

Select Ports is not available if any Serial/IP COM ports are being used by applications.

The list of available COM ports will not include COM ports for local hardware or any virtual COM ports created by other applications (such as printers and Bluetooth devices).

If you remove a virtual COM port and later create it again using the same COM port number, the settings of the removed virtual COM port are reinstated.
