 Notes

Presets do not include credential information (username, password) for security reasons.

Presets are not available for Advanced Options because they affect all virtual COM ports.

All settings can be automated during installation using the Unattended Installation feature.

For the Serial/IP Redirector, settings can also be changed directly at run-time by the application using the optional ActiveX API.
