Menu and Toolbar
The Virtual Port Management Utility menu and toolbar have the same captions
and functions. Users can either click the menu items or buttons to invoke the
desired function, as shown in the table, below:
Target Information
The Target Information fields allow a user to install (map) ports on an offline
target device, as follows:
Item Action
Enum Targets This function searches and lists all SN01xx devices on the
LAN. The results are shown in the Target List panel
(see Target List, page 68, for details). Be aware that all
devices listed in the Target List will be deleted when the delete
function is invoked. Be sure to remove any devices from the
list that you don’t want to delete before invoking the delete
function.
Enum Ports This function lists the existing ports for the target device
currently selected in the Target List. The results are shown in
the Port List panel.
Map After selecting a port from the Port List panel, selecting this
function maps the device’s COM port to a virtual COM port on
the user’s computer.
Unmap After selecting a port from the Mapped Ports list, selecting this
function removes the mapping between the computer and the
device’s COM port.
Field Action
Target IP Address Input the IP address of the target that you want to map COM
ports to.
Base Socket Port The base socket port of the target device.
Target Name The name of the target. If it is different from the target’s real
name, it will be replaced by the real one. Note that the name is
not related to the mapping or unmapping process. Only the IP
address, socket port and target type are relevant.
Target Type The type of target to be mapped. Only SN01xx series devices
are valid.
Add Target Creates an entry in the Target List based on the above
information.
Delete Target Remove the currently selected target from the Target List.
