Install the PCI/USB COM Port Utilities
(1) To use the PnP COM Rename utility, insert the PCI/USB COM
Port Utility Disk and run Setup.exe. This will install COMTest
and PnP COM Rename under Programs, B&B Electronics.
(2) The Rename utility will not be installed if you are running
Windows 2000 or NT.
Using PnP COM Rename
(1) Shut down all programs that are accessing any Com ports.
(2) Start the PnP COM Rename Utility from the Programs menu
under B&B Electronics.
(3) Read the Cautionary Warnings, it is possible to rename a PCI or
USB serial port to a number already in use which will cause
problems. If any problems occur after renaming, you may need
to re-start the system and rerun the Rename utility to correct the
situation or remove the serial card in the Device Manager. Then
Refresh the Device Manager to detect the card and re-install the
drivers. Determine which renamed COM port caused the
problem, and do not use that name for a renamed port.
(4) Accept the conditions of use by clicking Yes or click No to exit.
(5) Select the currently named COM port number you want to
change in the left window, then the new number in the right
window. Then click Finish. Repeat for other ports as needed.
