Using PortVision DX
There are several ways to configure network information. Comtrol Technical Support recommends connecting
the ES9528 to a PC or laptop running
Windows and installing PortVision DX for initial configuration.
This section shows how to use PortVision DX for initial network configuration and discusses how to:
• Install PortVision DX ( Page 15 )
• Configure the network address ( Page 17 )
• Check the firmware and bootloader version on the ES9528 to verify that the latest versions are loaded
(
Page 20 ) before configuration
• Download the latest version firmware and bootloader and upload it to the ES9528 ( Page 21 )
• Perform other PortVision DX tasks, such as:
- Adding a new RocketLinx (managed or unmanaged) or a third party device to PortVision DX to
maintain device information on your network (
Page 23 )
- Using configuration files for use in configuring multiple installations with the same features ( Page 24 )
- Using the LED Tracker ( Page 25 )
• Organize how PortVision DX displays your Comtrol Ethernet attached products ( Page 24 )
• Access the latest documentation for your Comtrol Ethernet attached product
Optionally, you can use the web user interface or the CLI to perform these tasks on the ES9528 using these
subsections:
• IP Configuration on Page 45
• Firmware Upgrade on Page 60
• Basic Settings (CLI) on Page 139
NetVision
NetVision, the configuration utility that only supported RocketLinx has been replaced by PortVision DX,
which supports all Comtrol Ethernet attached products.
If you are familiar with NetVision and wish to use it, NetVision is still available but has been moved to Legacy
status, meaning that it is no longer being maintained. If any bugs or issues exist, Technical Support will have
you load and use PortVision DX.
