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:
