## COM Port Setup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Using Device Manager in Windows, ensure the following COM ports are connected and setup.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
COM1: EXTIO
|
||||||
|
COM4: Two readers
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Windows is often poor about saving the COM port number, so ewf commit (if applicable) and
|
||||||
|
reboot after saving this setting to ensure it sticks.
