(Indigo) I cannot connect to com ports higher than port 16, how can I get Indigo to work with com ports above port 16?

Indigo facilitates serial communication through a Microsoft Serial Communication library that limits com ports to port 16 and below. If possible, reassign your serial port to com port 16 or below.

Here is a help document on how to change the COM port settings:

If you cannot change the port number for your serial device, then there is an alternate solution. You will need to replace the Microsoft Serial Communication library with a modified version that enables ports above 16. Please download the following ZIP file and read the instructions for more information.
