COM Port Assignments These are the COM port assignments that are expected by Intellex.
COM 1 Not used (disabled in the BIOS)
COM 2 Touch Tracker interface for “MUX”
control of Intellex and dome control from
Network Client. On rear of Intellex unit.
COM 3, COM 4 These COM ports are assigned to either
the external USB modem or the port
expanders. The external USB modem
must use COM 3 or COM4 to be used with
pcAnywhere.
COM 5 This COM port is used by the internal
modem if it is installed. If there is no
internal modem, it is assigned to the port
expander.
COM 6 And higher Assigned to port expanders.
Since the internal and external modems have specific port number
requirements, always install the modems before installing the port
expanders. Adding the modem later will result in reassignment of
the serial port numbers. Follow this procedure:
• Install all modems. Power up the Intellex unit and allow
Windows to assign COM port numbers.
• Install the port expander(s). Allow Windows to assign serial
port numbers.
• Shut down the Intellex unit and restart. The port numbers
should be stable after this.
Connecting Text Sources Data from a text source will be recorded by Intellex if the following
conditions are met:
• The Intellex application must be able to open the COM port.
• Serial data must be present for the text stream to be listed in
the playback text box.
To set up text recording on the Intellex unit follow these steps:
1. Install all desired serial devices as described above. Be sure to
reboot the unit to minimize the possibility that serial ports
may be reassigned the next time the Intellex unit starts.
