Supported Ports
To utilize Serial communications, both the device and host machine must have an available serial port. More than one ACM port can use the same hardware communications port. For example, two ACM ports named Serial1_Fast and Serial1_Slow can be defined that use COM1 on the host machine. However, Serial1_Fast can be configured to use 38400 baud rate and Serial1_Slow can be configured to use 9600 baud rate. Any devices that are configured in ACM can use either of these logical ports. This allows multiple communication settings to be used on a single hardware communications port.
...
Once a port has been added to the ACM server, the port must be configured by editing the created object. Configuration may be accomplished using the default Form view.
