Originally the Primary (XL200 Flash Programming and debugging) and the Universal Programming ports were expected to be two different Comm ports. It was assumed that repair and production would have two dedicated comm ports, one for each purpose.

Currently repair is reconfiguring the comm port settings every time they have to use the universal programming box because they only have one serial port to use.

This change allows both functions to be configured to use the same port. All repair or production will need to do is plug the Universal Programming box in, just prior to trying to use it. Re-configuring ports will no longer be necessary.
