2. Detection Method

This section will describe the method which may be used to detect and identify COM peripheral devices. Section 2.1 specifies a software "COM Enumerator," which runs on a computer to detect Plug and Play COM devices. Note that this is a sample description which will vary in actual implementations; section 2.2 specifies the COM ID string serial data format. (The COM ID character strings are specified in section 3.) It also includes sample COM device implementations (2.3-2.5). Tutorial information about the basis for the design is contained in Annex B.
