Changing the COM port number

If you need to change the COM port number the UCBT232B/EXA is using, this can
be done as following:
Go to Windows Device Manager, right-click on the COM port which Bluesoleil has
created, in this case COM 10. If there are multiple COM ports listed in Device
Manager you can determine which port to click by right-clicking the Serial Adapter
icon in BlueSoleil and click ‘Status’, as described in section 1 of this guide.
