CONFIGURING PC COM PORTS

After setting up the PC COM ports through Windows, you need to

configure them in the VRC2500 software using the

Communications Properties utility.

1. Open VRC Explorer from the VRC2500 Program Group in the

Windows Start menu. The first time you open VRC Explorer, a

message box asks if you want to configure COM ports. Click

YES to open the Communications Properties window. The

prompt only appears the first time you open Explorer. The

Configure Serial Ports and Modems icon on the VRC Explorer

toolbar also opens this utility.

2. Click RE-DETECT SERIAL PORTS. The program checks

the PC’s serial COM ports numbered 1-4. If the PC running

the VRC2500 software has a serial port expander, select the

radio button labeled THIS PC HAS 5 OR MORE PORTS. The

program then checks COM ports numbered 1-9. VRC

software only supports COM ports 1-9.

3. Select the COM ports by

clicking on the entry and then

clicking the double right arrow.

To remove a previously

selected COM port, click on the

entry and then click the double

left arrow. Click APPLY to set

your selections.
