by operating system to either CAT, FSK and WinKey port, you can install and run a simple application,

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.

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.
