How can I change the number of COM ports that DirectSOFT / DS Data makes available for me to use?
By default older versions of DirectSOFT and DS Data had COM1, COM2, COM3 and COM4 ports available by default. However, due to the fact that most PCs these days only have COM1 and COM2, DirectSOFT and DS Data have been changed so that COM3 and COM4 are now disabled by default. This change was made for DirectSOFT and DS Data v4.0 Build 18. However, it is possible to enable and disable PC COM ports up to COM199. In order to change your COM port configuration you must edit DirectSOFT’s DS500.
