The **COM port name** drop down menu shows all active COM ports. Select the port that the interface box should connect to. If the listed COM ports are not up to date, click the **Refresh** button to update the list.

In the **Baud rate** drop down menu you select the baud rate of the box.

===== Configuration of a MUX Measurement Device =====

This section describes how to configure a measurement device channel of an MUX protocol interface box.

{{:en:mdm:inputdevices:mux_eng_b1.png?500|}}

To configure the channel select it with a single mouse click from the list.

{{:en:mdm:inputdevices:mux_eng_b2.png?500|}}

Click the **Configure** button below the list to open the configuration window. You can also right mouse click to open the context menu and click on **Configure**.

{{:en:mdm:inputdevices:mux_eng_b3.png?500|}}

In the configuration menu you can activate or deactivate the measurement device channel by clicking on the **Enable** check box.

You can enter a name for the device in the **Name** field. This is then displayed in the list. This makes identification easier if there are more than one device in the list.

The channel's **Serial number** and **Type** are also displayed. These settings cannot be changed.

{{:en:mdm:inputdevices:mux_eng_b4.png?500|}}

In the **Feedback** menu select the output device from which you expect acknowledgement of receipt for measurement data. If you select the **Green LED** from the list, this LED on the transmitter will light up when a measurement value has been processed. Selecting **Virtual COM port** or **Virtual Keyboard** from the list results in this device taking on the acknowledgement of receipt and the corresponding LEDs light up.

Click **Apply** to adopt the settings you have chosen. Clicking **OK** saves the data and closes the Settings window. Clicking **Cancel** closes the window without saving any changes.
