You can't.

We implemented one LPT port capability only, mainly for compatiblity 
with existing SO1R setups. Today's serious SO2R devices (namely EZMaster 
and MKIIR) are no more relying on several LPT ports and use virtual COM 
ports via one USB cable. And the DXD isn't compatible with the extended 
SO2R switching capabilities WT offers (see scenarios etc.).

We just modified the code to allow a wider range of addresses.

You can hv a try in the *next* nightly build, available at abt 05:20 UTC
