7. Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
7.1 How to check whether the adaptor has been installed correctly and via which COM-
port can I approach the installed adaptor?
Start the Device-Manager: start \ settings \ control panel \ performance and maintenance \ system \ hardware
and open the submenu “Ports (COM & LPT)”
If the installation was successful, there will be the entry “USB Serial Port (COMx)”, in which the x after the
Com indicates the available COM-port (i.e. COM 4).
Note: The adaptor will not be shown in the device manager, if it is not connected to the PC.
If the entry is occupied by an exclamation mark or the entry is not there, then the driver has not been
installed correctly.
7.2 How to change the COM-port of the adaptor?
Make sure that the adaptor is connected, start the Device-Manager start \ settings \ control panel \
performance and maintenance \ system \ hardware) and open the submenu “Ports (COM & LPT)”

button “Advanced...”.
There you can choose the preferred COM-Port at the point “COM Port Number”. If this port is already
reserved for another (even not connected) device, a error message will appear:
