8.1.1.4 Determining which COM Port the A200 has been Assigned
When the A200 driver is loaded, the A200 is assigned a COM port number.
This COM port number is needed when using
DevConfig
or a computer
terminal software such as
HyperTerminal
.
Often, the assigned COM port will be the next port number that is free.
However, if other devices have been installed in the past (some of which may
no longer be plugged in), the A200 may be assigned a higher COM port
number.
To check which COM port has been assigned to the A200, watch for the
appearance of a new COM port in the list of COM ports offered in
LoggerNet
or other software package before and after the installation, or look in the
Windows Device Manager list under the ports section (access using the control
panel).
