COM Mapping
Network Enabler Administrator Suite comes with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP Real COM
drivers. After you install Network Enabler Administrator Suite, there are two ways to set up the
NE-4100’s serial port as your host’s remote COM port.
The first way is On-line COM Mapping. On-line COM Mapping will check to make sure the
NE-4100 is connected correctly to the network and then install the driver on the host computer.
The second way is Off-line COM Installation, with does not require connecting the NE-4100 to
the network first. Off-line COM Mapping can decrease the system integrator’s effort by solving
different field problems. With off-line installation, users can process the host software installation
and then install the NE-4100 to different fields.
Use the following procedure to map COM ports:
1. On-line COM Mapping:
Connect NE-4100 to the network % Set NE-4100 to the proper IP address % Map COMs to
your host % Apply Change.
2. Off-line COM Mapping:
Map COMs to your host % Apply Change % Connect NE-4100 to the network % Configure
NE-4100’s IP address.
On-line COM Mapping
1. Broadcast Search for
NE-4100s on the network.

function group.
