COM port mapping pull down menu The COM port mapping pull down menu allows you to reassign the selected Keyspan COM port in the COM port list window. This window also reports whether a COM port is 'in use'. In this menu, 'in use' means that the selected COM port has assigned or reserved. It is highly recommended that you only change the COM port mapping to COM ports that are not 'in use'. Note: The COM port mapping pull down menu allows you to change the COM port mapping to any COM port including those that have already been assigned (aka in use). Changing the COM port mapping to a COM port that is in use may render any hardware and/or software using that port inoperable. Adapter Port Mapping Mode box The Adapter Port Mapping Mode box allows you to change the behavior of how Keyspan COM port numbers are assigned when you connect the Keyspan adapter to a different USB port than the one it was originally connected to. Dynamic: Dynamic assigns a COM port number (or numbers if your Keyspan adapter has multiple serial ports) to a particular Keyspan adapter. If you disconnect the Keyspan adapter and connect it to a different USB port, the COM port number of that Keyspan adapter will not change. This is the default setting and is recommended setting if you only have one Keyspan adapter. Geographic: Geographic assigns a COM port number (or numbers if your Keyspan adapter has multiple serial ports) to a particular USB port on your computer. If you disconnect the Keyspan adapter and connect it to a different USB port, the COM port number of that Keyspan adapter will change. This setting is recommended if you are using multiple Keyspan adapters and want the COM port numbers to remain the same. Delete All Keyspan USB Serial Adapter Port Mappings button Note: this is an option for advanced users only. If you are unsure about how this command will affect your computer, do not use it. The Delete All Keyspan USB Serial Adapter Port Mappings button clears the Windows registry of all Keyspan USB Serial Adapter COM port numbers and Keyspan USB information. This allows Windows to create new COM port assignments. Diagnostics tab The Diagnostic tab in the Keyspan Serial Assistant reports diagnostic information about your Keyspan adapter's software and hardware. The following is an explanation of the items in this tab. Diagnostics tab USA-19HS - User Manual Page 21 of 30

This window also reports whether a COM port is 'in use'.
In this menu, 'in use'
means that the selected COM port has assigned or reserved.
It is highly recommended that you only

Note:
The COM port mapping pull down menu allows you to change the COM port mapping to any
COM port including those that have already been assigned (aka in use).
Changing the COM port map-
ping to a COM port that is in use
