in Device Manager
In the Device Manager the serial ports are listed in the usual section
Ports
. Additionally there
is the device class
Multi-port serial adapters
. All installed NetCom
+
Devices are listed herein.
The available options are described later.
4.3 Update the Drivers and Tools
As suggested by figure
47
the Installation Wizard offers an option to
Update
the drivers to a new
version. Windows itself also offers an option to update the drivers of installed devices. Although this
is a functional option, the correct operation of the NetCom
+
drivers depends on a common version
for all drivers. The secure way to perform such an update is to run the Installation Wizard. All
driver files are replaced by later versions simultaneously, and all configuration data (Com number,
special port configurations, ...) is preserved.
