Rod,
It on the "Configure" list near the bottom.
Make sure you save the configuration before you reset the ports. One
person was doing it in reverse and wondered why it never worked!

Also Setup only one axis at a time. I just happened to think, there
is/was a bug in the routine listed on the jogging screen. I use MDI
and enter G28 and the axis desired. Example G28 X0.

Hope this helps
