8.8.1 USB-Serial COM Port Notes
The user should be familiar with the following operational notes related to using the USB-Serial COM Port.
a. The USB-Serial Port is only active in the PMDT PC while the USB cable is connected between the PMDT and the
navaid, and the navaids is powered up. Powering down the system, or removing the cable will remove the USB
COM Port. If this is done while logged into the navaid, the user must Logout/Disconnect in the PMDT, and wait
for the disconnect to be finalized. When the USB-Serial Port is re-activated (by either powering up the navaid, or
reconnecting the cable) then the user can once again login to the navaid with the
System>>Connect>>Navaid>>Direct menu option.
b. Changing to another USB port on the PC could cause the USB driver to be assigned to another COM port. The
currently active USB-Serial COM Port can always be determined and selected with the Navaid Direct COM Port
setting in the PMDT’s System>>PMDT Setup screen. To simplify this connection, always use the same USB
port on the PMDT computer for the PMDT-navaid link.
