Guest guest Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I just got by LOR controller and I am trying to test it out. However I can't find the comm port, that will be used. It looks like it is COM11 but that does not work. Please Help....Nevermind, I updated the the hardware utility and it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I'm assuming you have your LOR connected via USB?By default, mine connected using COM 11 ... which, dispite telling LOR which COM channel it was and/or scanning up through COM 14, LOR didn't see the unit. LOR just seems to be deaf to anything above COM 10.I had to find an open COM port below 10, and change the device driver.I think I actually did a write-up on this (or at least saved some screen-shots)...let me see if I can find it.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Can't find my write-up (might have just though about it and didn't actually do it :{ ).Let me know what OS you are running on and I can walk you through it if you need help changing the COM port.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I see the highlight now, thanks.This is probably still something that needs a write-up as I couldn't find it addressed on LOR's website or the LOR wiki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Thank you. I was able to fix the problem last night by upgrading the hardware utility and then changing the comm port from 11 to 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Right now LOR does cannot see COM ports above 10. This will be fixed soon by an interim update (along with other changes). Here is the procedure to move the COM port: (click through these)start -> My Computer -> View system information -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> expand "Ports (COM & LPT) -> Right click "USB Serial Port (COMxx)" -> Properties -> Port Settings -> Advanced... ----- Choose a COM port below 11 and click "OK," if none below 11 is available, move one you aren't using above 10 and use it.
