Xerox 65 Software Guide

The default selections for the Local Setup port and for the Remote setup port are COM1 and 
COM2, respectively.  If you are not sure of the correct assignments for your PC, check the 
following: 

If your computer has a modem 

1. Double 

click 

My Computer on your PC’s desktop. 

2. Double 

click 

Control Panel. 

3. Double 

click 

Modems and select Properties.  The Port assignment for the modem is then 

displayed (COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4).   

If you are going to collect Auditron data remotely, this is the port that will need to be 
assigned as the Remote Setup port.  

If you are going to collect data locally, examine the connector on your computer’s mouse to 
determine the type of mouse you have. 

 

A PS/2 mouse has a circular 6-pin connector.  
A Serial mouse has a rectangular 9-pin

 

connector.

  

 

In the expanded Connection Selection window, select the correct COM ports for Local and/or 
Remote Setups: 
 
If you are going to collect data locally, the correct selection for Local Setup is determined as 
follows: 
•  If your mouse is a PS/2 mouse, the correct selection is likely COM1 (if the modem is not 

COM1).  If the Modem is COM1, the correct selection is likely COM2.   

•  If your mouse is a Serial mouse, the correct selection is likely COM2 (if the modem is not 

COM2).  If the modem is COM2, the correct selection is likely COM3.   

 
Notes:  
 
•  The Local Setup and the Remote Setup can not be assigned to the same Port. 
•  If the expanded Connection Selection window is not displayed when trying to check the port 

assignments, restart the Auditron Report Software and click on Setup on the Connection 
Selection window and the window will expand.
