If your weather station used a port to connect to Cumulus 1, that port was set on the settings screen as a number and stored in Cumulus.ini in the station section as '''Port=n'''. In Cumulus MX, as it runs on various operating systems, the port is specified using text (instead of a number), again you select it within settings, on '''Station settings''' screen, but that is stored within Cumulus.ini in the station section as '''Comport=tttttttt'''. If your old number was '''3''', and you are still using Windows, the new setting would have value of '''COM3''', for other devices it might be '''/dev/ttyUSB0'''.
=== web pages ===
There are differences in how to upload the standard files between Cumulus 1 and MX.
It is best to work through the '''Internet settings''' screen in the MX admin interface.
Consequently, there is a difference between the entries in '''Cumulus.in''', remove the ''IncludeSTDImages=1'' used in Cumulus 1 and replace it with '''IncludeGraphDataFiles=1''' used in MX.
If you have been using the Cumulus 1 supplied web pages, you will find they do not work with MX, there is a new set provided with MX that work slightly differently.
*Cumulus 1 uploads a number of images, these include a couple of images that combined show the moon phase, and a number of graphs are also uploaded as images (used on Cumulus 1 trends page).
*Cumulus MX does not upload any images (prior to Release 3.5.0, from then on it uploads a moon phase image), instead it uploads a series of '''.json''' files that hold time and value pairs that can be used to draw graphs. (Hence the difference in settings mentioned above).
*The gauges page provided with MX is based on Mark's implementation of steel series, so it is different to the old "Web Dashboard Components for FreeWX and FreeWX-Wi " that Cumulus 1 used.
*The other web pages look the same, and indeed are effectively functionally same.
