Using PortVision Plus to Configure the Network Settings

You can use PortVision Plus to identify, configure, update, and manage the
DeviceMaster AIR from Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003
systems. PortVision Plus automatically detects and identifies DeviceMaster AIR
products physically attached to the network for configuration, if they are in the
same network segment.

Note: You must have SocketServer 5.10 or NS-Link 5.04 or higher for all of the

property pages to appear. See

Locating Software and Documentation

Use the following procedure to change the network settings on the DeviceMaster
AIR.

If you have not done so, install PortVision Plus (
