I'm having a problem with MAX detecting extra com ports on an x86 compatible motherboard with 10 serial ports. The ports are all shown up on BIOS. But when I proceeded to install Labview RTOS (Phar lap) on this board, and tried to connect to the target through MAX, the program could only see two ports. When I tried to Create New Port on this target using ASRL3::INSTR and validate it, MAX popped an error:
Unable to open session to "visa://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ASRL3::INSTR"
Return status code: 0xBFFF00A8
Status name: VI_ERROR_NPERMISSION
Access to the resource or remote machine is denied.
This is due to lack of sufficient privileges for the current user or machine.
I'm using LV 2010 and NI Serial 3.6. Anybody is knowledgable of this problem? Is there a way to enter the bios address directly to MAX?
Please help!

Hi Jason,
I use this board as an RT (for an embedded application):
The serial ports are provided by two Fintek Super IO chips. We thought at first that since the serial ports were shown up in BIOS, it should be trivial to interface with them, so it may not be correct anymore.
I haven't had a chance to install Windows on this board, so I'll have to check for it when I get to the office.
By the way, I figured out the VI_ERROR_NPERMISSION error, I'm running a VISA server on the RT and I need to let other devices access permission. I'm still unable to set MAX to recognizie other serial ports, the error when I hit Validate now is:
Could not open a VISA session to "ASRL3::INSTR"
VISA error code 0xBFFF0011
Insufficient location information or the device or resource is not present in the system.
I've search around the board and couldn't find much help.

karthik,
Sorry to hear about this issue. Would you mind providing details about your specific hardware and software? Even a screen shot would be a nice addition.

I have the same problem - Intel Atom board (http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/desktop-board-d2500cc.html). With 4 integrated COMs, but only two are visible in RT Target. Definitely there is no problem with hardware (I disabled the first two ports (COM1 and COM2) in BIOS - RT OK with COM3 and COM4 and vice versa with COM3 and COM4). So there must be problem with NI Serial - is there any chance to configure NI serial to support more than 2 integrated COM Ports?

By default the /ni-rt/system/niserial.ini file that is installed on the target only has two built-in (NonPnpDevice sections) listed. You can modify this file to add additional NonPnpDevices you just need to define the IRQ and base address that matches your additional ports.

I have tried to modify niserial.ini, but with no success. Do you have any working example or manual?

I looked, but I couldn't find the one that I created a few years ago.
Note that after you update the INI file you may also need to go to MAX and find the target PC under Remote Systems, right click Devices and Interfaces » Serial, select Creat New Port, choose Serial Binding COM3 and COM4, set their ASRL Number(recommended values are 3 and 4), and give them Alias(recommend default value COM3 and COM4).
