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.
