COM port on the laptop computer. Application software, such as PuTTY, can
then access this USB port in the same way as it would access a standard
COMport.
Each time you use a serial cable to connect your laptop computer to an S10
Node server module, Windows creates a new COM port. Windows does not
reuse COM ports for these serial connections, nor does it delete such
COMports that are no longer being used. As a result, you can have a large
number of unused COMports on your computer.
To delete the COM ports Windows created for serial connections to S10
Node server modules, you need to uninstall the VCPserial port driver.
Uninstalling the driver automatically deletes the applicable COMports.
After uninstalling the VCPserial port driver, you can reinstall it so that
you're ready the next time you need to use a PuTTY serial connection to an
S10 Node server module.
