Serial Ports Finder
For simple identification which port number (Windows) or port name (macOS, Linux) has been assigned
by operating system to either CAT, FSK and WinKey port, you can install and run a simple application,
DXP Ports Finder
, which will list the DXP serial port assignments on your computer. The only purpose
of this application is to identify the serial ports. It is not necessary to run it for normal operation, just to
setup logger/digital mode software or troubleshooting.
Windows (all)
Download dxp-win.zip package and unzip dxp.exe application to
your desktop. You can download the application from our
website – Downloads section, or directly from this link:

DXP Ports Finder will scan serial ports on your computer and
display the COM port numbers assigned by the operating
system to the individual DXP serial channels.
If you want to change port numbering, go to Device Manager | Ports (COM & LPT) and double click on
port you want to change. Go to Port Settings tab, click the Advanced button and change the COM port
number at the bottom drop down box. Make sure each COM port listed in Device Manager has a unique
number; ports must not overlap.

application to your Applications folder or Desktop. DXP
