A. Running the NETRS232 setup software

The installation diskette has files to install NETRS232 drivers on your PC and to detect NETRS232 devices on your network. To run the installation software, insert the installation diskette and run "Setup.exe". The Setup Wizard will ask you to supply basic installation information.

The Setup Wizard will finish by opening the IP-Extender Manager. By default the IP-Extender Manager will display NETRS232 devices that it has detected on your network.

B. Configuring network settings

The IP-Extender Manager displays NETRS232 information in a Windows Explorer-like interface. Any NETRS232 devices that are discovered on your network are displayed in the "IP-Extenders Near Me" branch of the "My IP-Extender Network" tree.

NETRS232 devices installed on your network will need unique IP addresses. These can be set by using either the IP-Extender Manager, a web browser, or a Telnet client.
