SERIAL PORT SELECTION
When first launched, the Dragon Drop-IR software scans the serial ports and will display the available ports under
"Preferences" in the File menu. Unavailable ports will be grayed out. Com Port 1 would normally be used, but if it
is already in use, it will be necessary to use a different one. If your computer only has a USB connection, a USB
to Serial Adapter (including software) can be purchased at most computer stores and is available for purchase
from Xantech. (Also check with local Authorized Xantech Distributor).
Select the Com Port as follows:
1. Click Preferences (F2) from the File menu.
2. Click on an available port, then OK.

the system.
