In DOS, the device name used to denote a serial communications port. In versions of DOS after 3.3 four COM ports are supported, COM1, COM2, COM3, and COM4. Also refers to,Component Object Model; the core of OLE. Defines how OLE objects and their clients interact within processes or across process boundaries.
Serial device that computer hardware(like your mouse and modem) can use to communicate with the other devices of the computer.
One of up to four serial ports allowable in DOS. Identified by number: COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4. Normally only two COM ports can be used at one time, and they must have consecutive numbers.
A connecting location on computers for a serial cable. Serial cables usually have 9 pins and pass data at a slower rate than parallel ports. Serial ports can be used for printers and modems.
Describes the serial interface of a computer. Often used to connect devices such as digital cameras to a computer. (USB)
This is the site in a device from which it can be connected to a particular other electronic device. A doorway, in effect.
Communication port is used to connect electronic devices to a computer. It is a 9-pin connector called DB-9.
Commonly used short form of communications port. COM ports offer serial communications, which means that data is transmitted one bit at a time over a single line from one computer to another.
A COM port is a communications channel or pathway over which data is transferred between remote computing devices. IBM-compatible microcomputers can have as many as four COM ports, COM1, COM2, COM3, and COM4.
A connection on a computer into which you can plug a serial device.
An abbreviation for communications port, this generally refers to a serial port.
a device, usually built right into your computer, that allows you to send data back and forth
a virtual connection point that allows your computer to speak to external devices either through the serial port or USB
A serial communication port that supports the RS-232 standard of communication.
Communications port for hooking up devices such as modems.
Serial ports on the IBM PC compatible computer, usually, but not always used for data communications, are referred to by systems designators COM1, COM2, COM3.....etc.
A COM port (or communication port) is a communications channel or pathway over which data is transferred between remote computing devices. MS-DOS computers may have as many as four COM ports, COM1, COM2, COM3, and COM4. These are serial ports most often used with a modem to set up a communications channel over telephone lines. They can also be used to send data to a serial printer, or to connect a serial mouse.
Serial communication port (ie: COM1, COM2,COM3, COM4).
A contraction of communications used to describe the serial port on a PC. COM is usually used in conjunction with a number, as in COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4.
COMmunication Port. Another name for serial port in a computer, used for serial data communication. Also see serial port and parallel port.
Your computer has serial communication ports which support the RS-232 standard of communication. This is the most common interface used to transfer data from a digicam to the computer.
Allows for serial slow communication between the computer and other devices such as the mouse and modem.
On an IBM PC or compatible computer, a serial port often used to connect a mouse or a modem.
Short for COMmunications port. A receptacle, usually at the back of the computer, into which you can plug a serial device such as a modem, mouse, or serial printer. If your computer has more than one COM port, the ports are numbered COM1, COM2, and so on.
Short for a serial communication port. Most DNC software communicate with a computer through a communication port, and most IBM and IBM-compatible computers support up to four serial ports COM1, COM2, COM3 and COM4. Additional ports can be added by adding additional hardware.
Short for communications or serial port. The COM port is a location that sends and receives serial data transmissions. The ports are named COM1, COM2, COM3.
Also called a serial port. A connection on an IBM or compatible compute r, usually named COM1, where you plug in the cable for a serial device. Common serial devices are printers and modems. Serial ports are smaller than parallel ports and usually contain 9 pins.
Communication Port: the place where peripherals like modems and mice connect to your computer.
A connection on a computer into which a serial device may be plugged.
