Is there away to change number of COM
port in a command line?
I have many many devices and for each device Windows assigns different port number (and remembers this number!).
But in my case only one device is connected at any given time. I use serial port COM
(using USB
).
Therefore I want to use only one COM
port, let's say COM4
.
I know that there is a way to create some sort of a link, redirection, alias:
change port COM4=COM6
This works! Now I can use COM4
.
But! Windows also increments COM
port number by one (1). I want Windows to forget old devices and port numbers because I wish to connect more than 256 different devices. Therefore this just cannot happen:
change port COM4=COM270
Is there any chance that I can order Windows to forget old devices and port numbers? I know this can be done in Device Manager but I want to (and have to) do this in a command line.
I know there are also some other commands, for instance:
wmic path Win32_SerialPort
The commands above show ports information. Is possible to change port numbers using wmic
?
Windows can only support up to 255 hardware COM ports. – Daisy Zhou – 2018-12-21T14:32:42.463
