A-5
Question 4
When I install NPort 1220/1240 under Windows 2000/XP, the COM port number is assigned by
which USB slot I use to connect to my computer. What happens if I change the USB slot?
Answer 4
The port number will change. Keep in mind that the port number is automatically assigned by the
OS.
Question 5
Under Windows 2000, it seems that the more USB ports I install (e.g., close to 25 or 30 ports), the
port throughput drops to around 1%. How do I get around this problem?
Answer 5
We recommend limiting to 16 ports the number of USB ports installed under Windows 2000.
