In the Basic Settings tab, the COM Number parameter selects the COM port that will be mapped
to the device port. The drop-down list shows available COM ports with status.
Status Description
in use
Already being used by system or already mapped to an NPort device
port
assigned
Assigned to an NPort device port but changes have not been applied
yet
current
Assigned to currently selected device port, changes have not been
applied yet
The “Auto Enumerating” parameter can be used when mapping multiple device ports at the same
time. When the parameter is checked, this option automatically assigns available COM numbers
sequentially. If not checked, you will need to configure COM mapping for each device port
separately.
