When you run the TalkSwitch software, you will need to select ‘PC Connection’ to
select Serial as the connection then select the COM port associated to this physical
Serial port on your PC.
Make sure you do not have any other communications programs running at the
same time you want to use the TalkSwitch configuration software. These may include
