Dear Jens Ebert, Firstly, we would like to mention about your network setting. As we can see in the attached photo, your current network setting of CSW-H85N is quite similar to CSW-H85N'ss default setting. Typically, if you connect CSW-H85N to an existing Wi-Fi network, the IP address, Subnet and Gateway address should be different from those. So, could you please check and configure these setting based on your Wi-Fi network parameters? Secondly, we would like to make it more clear about the serial interface. As mentioned in the previous reply, the COM ports listed in ezManager window are the available plugged-in COM ports of your PC. If you do not connect any serial device to your PC, then there should be no COM ports shown in ezManager. In your working scheme, if you need to configure serial parameters of CSW-H85N with your tracer, you can do it like the below: On ezManager window --> select Serial Port panel --> COM1, and then set the proper serial parameters. If possible, we can also establish a remote support session. We are going to contact you via email for confirmation. Thank you very much.
