All COM ports can be reassigned unless indicated otherwise in Table 15.1. Reassignment is done
either using the Psion Teklogix COM Port Manager Control Panel program, or in the
Windows registry.
For information on using the COM Port Manager, refer to the user manual for the
Psion Teklogix computer.
Serial ports on computers with user-accessible cards are assigned dynamically—at the lowest
available COM port number—as the cards are inserted and removed.
On the WORKABOUT PRO G2, the maximum baud rate is 921.6 k baud if RTS/CTS hardware
flow control is enabled.
