This is usually done through the MS Windows Hardware Device Manager window which can
be opened via the control panel (Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware) or by right
clicking on the desktop "My Computer" icon and selecting "Properties" from the popup menu
to open the "System Properties" Window then select the "Hardware" tab.
Click on the [Device Manager] button to bring up the hardware list, double click on the "Ports
(COM & LPT)" item to open the sub list, then double click on the corresponding entry for the
serial port used (step 5 above). This should bring up the device driver window for this serial
port.
Check that the device is enabled, and then click on the "Port Settings" tab and change the
settings to match the default values (see Table 2.1).
