Verify the Hardware Resources
For every serial interface, double-click on the name of the serial card in the
Device Manager under Multi-function Adapters. Then click on the
Resources tab. If the resources were assigned correctly, the Resources
page shows which resources are assigned to your serial ports.
When you have finished verifying the hardware resources, proceed to the
next section.
Determine Which Physical Port Is Associated with COMx
For every port of the newly installed serial interface, double-click on the
name of the serial port in the Device Manager. Then click on the Port
Settings tab. The top of this page displays the serial number of the serial
hardware, and the physical port number starting at 1. On all serial hardware,
PORT1 refers to the top port, PORT2 refers to the next port down, and
so on.
