9. This will open device manager.
a. Go to PORTS> double click on com1 > port settings tab > advanced


I go to device manager and all I find are COM11 & COM13, both of them listed as "Standard serial over Bluetooth link".

I do not see COM1 but I do have the option to switch COM11 & COM13 to COM1, but then again, if I do switch them, COM1 would still be a "Standard serial over Bluetooth link".

Do I have to wait for the cable (USB interface) and connect it to get COM1 active? Do I have any other options? Hoping someone can give me some suggestions.

Thanks in advance!
Yes you need the cable, can't configure a device you don't have attached to the computer.
