About COM retention

The USB to serial adapter features COM retention (also known as 

COM port retention). With COM retention, the COM port settings 

that are assigned the first time that the adapter is connected to a 

computer are retained, regardless of the USB port that the adapter 

cable is connected to. When you disconnect the serial adapter cable 

and plug it into a different USB port on the same computer, you 

don’t need to reconfigure the serial port.
