Changing the Com numbering of your
Octopus-550 ports (Windows 95/98/Me
only)
Octopus-550
Unless you already have more than 4 Com ports installed in your
PC, Windows will by default configure the
ports as
Com 5 through Com 12. To change the Com number of any of
these ports (e.g. reassign Com 5 to be Com 3), please use the Lava
Com Port Redirect Utility included in the “Utils\Redirect“
subdirectory of your Installation Diskette. Such a reassignment
may be necessary because some communications applications
programs do not recognize port designations beyond Com 4. The
Com Port Redirect utility will allow you to change the Com
numbering of your ports
.
To install the Port Redirect Utility on your hard drive, insert the
Installation Diskette into your floppy drive, click Start, Run and
type A:\Utils\Redirect\Setup.
