Lava Computer SP-PCI - Manual (Page 6)

Changing the Com numbering of your SP-PCI
port (Windows 95/98/Me only)
Changing the Com numbering of your SP-PCI
port (Windows 2000/XP only)
Unless you already have more than 4 Com Ports installed in your PC,
Windows will by default configure the SP-PCI as Com 5. If you wish to
change this assigned Com number (e.g. reassign Com 5 to be Com 3),
please use the Lava Com Port Redirect Utility included in the
“Utils\Redirect“ subdirectory of your Installation Diskette. Such a
reassignment may be necessary because some communications
applications programs do not recognize port designations beyond Com
4. The Com Port Redirect utility will allow you to change the Com
numbering of your ports
.
To install the Port Redirect Utility on your hard drive, insert the
Installation Diskette into your floppy drive, click Start, Run and type
A:\Utils\Redirect\Setup.
In Windows 2000, Com port numbering can be changed by double-
clicking the serial port entry displayed in Windows' Device Manager (as
described earlier). Go to Port Settings | Advanced, and choose Com Port
#.
