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.
