Registry Settings for Serial

This section describes the following registry settings that Serial uses to configure a serial device:

Registry Settings for the Serial Service

Registry Settings for a Plug and Play Serial Device

Registry Settings for a Legacy COM Port

Serial uses the registry settings to configure a serial device in the following way:

  • If a device-specific entry value is present, Serial uses it.

  • If a device-specific entry value is not present, but there is a corresponding Serial service entry value, Serial uses the service entry value.

  • If a device-specific entry value is not present and there is no corresponding Serial service entry value, Serial uses a default service value that is statically defined in serial.sys.
