To locate which COM Port has been assigned to the switch, click on “Start” menu in the
PC taskbar and choose “Control Panel”. Double click on the “System” icon. Select the
“Hardware” tab.
Click on the “Device Manager” button and then expand the “Ports (COM & LPT)” option
on the left hand side and you should see a “USB Serial Device” with a COMxx beside it.
This will be the COM port number that you will select with your Terminal software tool.
