Edit port names
Some serial applications are unable to connect to a serial port named using a form other than
COMm, where m is the port number. Since com0com ports are named CNCAn and CNCBn by
default, this can cause problems. If you encounter this problem, ComNet Contact over Ethernet
module Configuration application allows you to change the names of virtual COM ports, as long
as neither port in the pair is currently part of a configured connection.

To edit the port name, expand the virtual port pair listing that contains the port you want to
change. Double-click the port name, edit the connection name, and press
ENTER
