I understand that method. It will not work with these cameras. You have to assign a particular com port. The SerialPortTool people have a section on there site that says you can assign separate com ports to cams. I can't find out anywhere specifically to do it on their site & their response is minimal.

Hi, Has anybody been able to run more than 1 camera on Serial Port Tool's PTZ controller??? I am trying to get 2 cams on 2 different Coms (1 & 3). Both Cams work and both Com ports work. Somehow I can't get the settings to save or assign?? The Cams are the same so the only parameter I am changing is the Com Port. When I highlight Cam 001 and make the settings it works great. I assume from their instructions that I would highlight Cam 002 and make the settings for Cam 2 which is Com Port 3. All this does is change the Com Port setting literally (globally). When I go back to Cam 001 the Com Port is 3. The settings aren't taking affect. I can't find anything in their literature about this. When I e-mail support I get dumb responses like check the BAUD rate even though I tell them the Cams work etc. Anybody?? Must be simple... Is it a Camera address issue. These are Tandberg (Sony) Videoconferencing cameras. I have used these with Camerapad software no problem running 4 cameras etc.
