PortVision DX
PortVision DX is Comtrol Corporation’s break-through software for efficiently
locating, configuring and managing DeviceMaster over the network.
This section contains the following topics:

Overview
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 UP
- DeviceMaster 500
• IO-Link Master
• RocketLinx switches
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 switches are treated as non-intelligent devices and have limited
feature support. For example, you cannot configure or update firmware on a third-
party switch.
PortVision DX supports the following operating systems:
• Windows XP
• Windows Server 2003
• Windows Vista
• Windows Server 2008
• Windows 7
• Windows Server 2012
• Windows 8
