COM Mapping
Windows Administration Suite comes with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP Real COM drivers.
After you install Windows Administration Suite, there are two ways to set up the NPort’s serial
port as your host’s remote COM port.
The first way is with On-line COM Mapping. On-line COM Mapping will check to make sure
the NPort is connected correctly to the network and then install the driver on the host computer.
The second way is with Off-line COM Installation, without connecting the NPort to the network
first. Off-line COM Mapping can decrease the system integrator’s effort by solving different field
problems. Via off-line installation, the user can process the host software installation and then
install the NPort to different fields.
Use the following procedure to map COM ports:
1. On-line COM Mapping:
Connect NPort to the network Æ Set NPort to the proper IP address Æ Map COMs to your
host Æ Apply Change.
2. Off-line COM Mapping:
Map COMs to your host Æ Apply Change Æ Connect NPort to the network Æ Configure
NPort’s IP address.
On-line COM Mapping
Broadcast Search for NPorts on the
network.
Select the COM Mapping function
group.
