Quick and easy question--I hope. Is there always a one-to-one mapping
between the com ports in the terminal server session and the com ports
on the client computer? In other words, if I have 4 com ports on the
client (COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4), will the terminal server session
always map like so:

Terminal Server Client
COM1 COM1
COM2 COM2
COM3 COM3
COM4 COM4

Or will it do something funky like so?

Terminal Server Client
COM1 COM4
COM2 COM3
COM3 COM2
COM4 COM1

Or is it completely unpredictable? Thanks.

Re: Serial Port Redirection

It's predictable. Check here for an example of redirected COM port
naming:

How can I verify that my local COM ports are redirected?
