I have a 2008 R2 server service pack 1 x64 bit operating system. It has an application installed that uses the following modem:
Description: MultiTech Systems MT9234SMI
DeviceID: SERENUM\MTS0316
DeviceDriver: 1.8.5.9
When the application has an issue and crashes we need to follow a set of steps to reboot it and bring it up, the modem part is one of those steps. What happening is this, the application assigns the COM ports to the modem however if we do not bring it down a certain way then Windows OS auto detects and assigns the COM ports first before the application. So I am wanting to eliminate this problem by disabling the auto detect feature on the Windows OS and leave it up to the application to assign the COM ports, how can this be done? Something to note, I can not go into the properties of the modem driver and set the COM port via the advanced tab (screen shot below).
