Q. Is it possible to change the names CNCA0 and CNCB0 to COM2 and COM3?
! A. Yes, it's possible. Add the following to the registry:
! [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\com0com\Parameters\CNCA0]
! "PortName"="COM2"
! [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\com0com\Parameters\CNCB0]
! "PortName"="COM3"
Q. The baud rate setting does not seem to make a difference: data is always
transferred at the same speed. How to enable the baud rate emulation?
! A. To enable baud rate emulation for transferring data from CNCA0 to CNCB0 add
! the following to the registry:
! [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\com0com\Parameters\CNCA0]
! "EmuBR"=dword:FFFFFFFF
Q. The HyperTerminal test succeeds, but I get a failure when trying to open the
port with CreateFile("CNCA0", ...). GetLastError() returns ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND.
! A. You must prefix name with the special characters "\\.\". Try to open the port
! with CreateFile("\\\\.\\CNCA0", ...).
Q. My application hangs during its startup when it sends anything to one paired
