To do that, open the device's properties and go to Port Settings Advanced, where you'll find a 'COM Port Number' dropdown. And just under Port Settings (i.e. Outside of the Advanced area), you'll see the typical array of serial port settings that you might need to set a certain way to interface with whatever device you're connecting to via. Jul 04, 2011 Also, if another serial device is set to use the COM port usually assigned to the Plugable adapter, a new port will be assigned to the PLugable adapter since its previous port is no longer available. There is no setting in Windows that will prevent this behavior. To connect the local console ('CONSOLE' or '1') to a laptop or PC with a DB9M serial port, use a straight-through cat 5 patch cable and the included 319015 adapter, as illustrated below. To connect the local console ('CONSOLE' or '1') to another Opengear console server's RJ45 console port (X2 pinout), you need to roll the pins. An email has been sent to verify your new profile.

Getting Started with Arduino and Genuino UNO
This document explains how to connect your Uno board to the computer and upload your first sketch.The Arduino Uno is programmed using the Arduino Software (IDE), our Integrated Development Environment common to all our boards and running both online and offline. For more information on how to get started with the Arduino Software visit the Getting Started page.

- Use your Arduino/Genuino Uno on the Arduino Desktop IDE
Use your Arduino/Genuino Uno on the Arduino Web IDE
All Arduino and Genuino boards, including this one, work out-of-the-box on the Arduino Web Editor, no need to install anything.
Serial Port Settings
The Arduino Web Editor is hosted online, therefore it will always be up-to-date with the latest features and support for all boards. Follow this simple guide to start coding on the browser and upload your sketches onto your board.
Use your Arduino/Genuino Uno on the Arduino Desktop IDE
If you want to program your Arduino/Genuino Uno while offline you need to install the Arduino Desktop IDEThe Uno is programmed using the Arduino Software (IDE), our Integrated Development Environment common to all our boards. Before you can move on, you must have installed the Arduino Software (IDE) on your PC, as explained in the home page of our Getting Started.
Connect your Uno board with an A B USB cable; sometimes this cable is called a USB printer cable
The USB connection with the PC is necessary to program the board and not just to power it up. The Uno automatically draw power from either the USB or an external power supply. Connect the board to your computer using the USB cable. The green power LED (labelled PWR) should go on.
Install the board drivers
If you used the Installer, Windows - from XP up to 10 - will install drivers automatically as soon as you connect your board.
If you downloaded and expanded the Zip package or, for some reason, the board wasn't properly recognized, please follow the procedure below.
- Click on the Start Menu, and open up the Control Panel.
- While in the Control Panel, navigate to System and Security. Next, click on System. Once the System window is up, open the Device Manager.
- Look under Ports (COM & LPT). You should see an open port named 'Arduino UNO (COMxx)'. If there is no COM & LPT section, look under 'Other Devices' for 'Unknown Device'.
- Right click on the 'Arduino UNO (COmxx)' port and choose the 'Update Driver Software' option.
- Next, choose the 'Browse my computer for Driver software' option.
- Finally, navigate to and select the driver file named 'arduino.inf', located in the 'Drivers' folder of the Arduino Software download (not the 'FTDI USB Drivers' sub-directory). If you are using an old version of the IDE (1.0.3 or older), choose the Uno driver file named 'Arduino UNO.inf'
- Windows will finish up the driver installation from there.

Open your first sketch
Open the LED blink example sketch: File > Examples >01.Basics > Blink.
Select your board type and port
You'll need to select the entry in the Tools > Board menu that corresponds to your Arduino or Genuino board.
Select the serial device of the board from the Tools | Serial Port menu. This is likely to be COM3 or higher (COM1 and COM2 are usually reserved for hardware serial ports). To find out, you can disconnect your board and re-open the menu; the entry that disappears should be the Arduino or Genuino board. Reconnect the board and select that serial port.
Upload the program
Now, simply click the 'Upload' button in the environment. Wait a few seconds - you should see the RX and TX leds on the board flashing. If the upload is successful, the message 'Done uploading.' will appear in the status bar.
A few seconds after the upload finishes, you should see the pin 13 (L) LED on the board start to blink (in orange). If it does, congratulations! You've gotten Arduino or Genuino up-and-running. If you have problems, please see the troubleshooting suggestions.

Serial Port Settings Windows 10
In order to set it up, first you have to find it on your computer. Long long ago, almost all computers had two serial ports, called 'COM1' and 'COM2', one a with a nine pin and the other with a 25 pin connector.
Now times have changed and the serial port has vanished.
Don't give up hope, however. The USB to serial converter has arrived, and it can be used instead. It is usually a dongle which plugs into a USB port, with a nine pin male connecter at the other end.
On my desktop computer, the motherboard has two built in serial ports. The third seial port, here labelled COM4, belongs to the USB to serial adapter I have plugged in.
So, to find the serial port on your computer, scout around its back. If you find a nine pin male connector (two rows, five and four, pins sticking out inside a metal shell) it has a serial port built in.
Or get a USB to serial converter and plug it in.
Open up Device Manager. Right click on 'My Computer' and select properties (at the bottom of the list that pops up). Click on the 'Hardware' tab. Click on the 'Device Manager' button and a something similiar to this picture should appear.
Click on the '+' sign on the left of the 'Ports (COM & LPT) to expand it. The list of printer and Serial ports available will be shown. Make a note of those, you will need them in the steps that follow.
