Port Monitor
1. The process described here is the same as in the previous “Monitor” section. The only
difference is that you can select more items under Port Monitor than under Monitor.
2. Select or de-select Monitor Items. Use the single arrowhead buttons to move highlighted items
from one box to the other. Use the double arrowhead buttons to move all items from one box
to the other.
COM Mapping
NPort 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.
