Relationship between device name and multiple serial ports

      In the example below, when 4 boards are connected, the serial port name will be as follows.

      --------------------------------------------------

      Board Num.                 Port Num

      1st Board (COM-2CL-PCI)    ttyCom0 - ttyCom1

      2nd Board (COM-4CL-PCI)    ttyCom2 - ttyCom5

      3rd Board (COM-2DL-PCI)    ttyCom6 - ttyCom7

      4th Board (COM-4(PCI)H)    ttyCom8 - ttyCom11

      --------------------------------------------------

      We have prepared a script "search-contec-comport",
      so you can easily check the port name.
