DEFINITION AND SELECTION OF SERIAL PORT (COM) - WINDOWS
The serial port associated with AirGate-GPS is automatically defined by the operating system a few moments after
connecting the AirGate-GPS. The user can easily identify or change the COM port associated with AirGate-GPS:
Control Panel / System / Hardware / Device Manager / COM & LPT Ports
Select the device "USB Serial Port" corresponding to the AirGate-GPS and click on "Properties". Select "Port Settings"
guide and click on "Advanced". In the "COM Port Number", select the serial port to be associated with AirGate-GPS.
Some serial ports can be checked while being used (In Use). Just select one of these ports if you know that it is not
being used by another peripheral device on your computer.
In some cases, the serial ports can be checked as in use even when the associated device is no longer installed on your
computer. In this case it is safe to associate this port to AirGate-GPS. The following figure presents the view of the
device manager containing a AirGate-GPS, and the screens showing the property screens where you can reset the
associated COM port.
