Test your components by:

• Hook up the serial cable(s), serial port(s), and serial device(s) in a different setup to see if the issue stems from a particular component, or the setup as a whole.
• Replace the serial cable, port, or device within your setup to further troubleshoot the issue’s origin.

When testing cables:

• Test each cable individually.
• Use short cables when you are testing.

When testing serial ports and devices:

• Press the Windows key + R, in Run, type devmgmt.msc, and press Enter to open the Device Manager. You can then check to see if your device is listed under Ports (COM & LPT).
