SecureCRT And Multiple Sessions Using Tabs

in CCNA & CCENT
Hello everyone. I've been scratching my head trying to get my 2511 terminal server and SecureCRT to play nice together.
I would like to have multiple sessions open in individual tabs in SecureCRT. I'm currently using a serial console connection to the terminal server.
I get the following error when trying to open a second session using COM11:
Unable to open serial port COM11:
Access is denied.
I'm trying to avoid hitting Ctrl+Shift+6 x all the time.
Do I have to use a AUI transceiver? If so, would I need to assign it a private IP address?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just out of curiosity, are you connecting this to your home network or LAN at work? I only ask because you stated you were told to use an IP address that is reserved for static devices.
I get use to typing Ctrl+Shift+6 x but it would be nice to keep the active text for each device together in it's own tab.
If anyone has this issue in the future make sure to reference this:

It's so nice to have all my devices available simultaneously in organized tabs.
