Introduction

PortVision DX automatically detects Comtrol Ethernet attached products physically attached to
the local network segment so that you can configure the

network address

,

upload firmware

, and

manage

the following products:

DeviceMaster family

DeviceMaster PRO

DeviceMaster RTS

DeviceMaster Serial Hub

DeviceMaster 500

DeviceMaster LT

DeviceMaster UP

IO-Link Master

RocketLinx

In addition to identifying Comtrol Ethernet attached products, you can use PortVision DX to
display any third-party switch and hardware that may be connected directly to those devices. All
non-Comtrol products and unmanaged RocketLinx devices are treated as non-intelligent devices
and have limited feature support. For example, you cannot configure or update firmware on a
third-party switch.

Requirements

PortVision DX may require that you have the latest Microsoft Service pack for your operating
system (32/64-bit):

Windows 8/8.1

Windows Server 2012

Windows 7

Windows Server 2008

Windows Vista

Windows Server 2003

Windows XP

To utilize all PortVision DX features, make sure that your Comtrol Ethernet attached product has
the

latest firmware versions

installed. If you do not have the appropriate version on your device,

you should upload the latest version before performing configuration procedures.
