NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual Configuring Windows Administrator
6-23
COM Mapping
Windows Administration Suite comes with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP Real COM drivers.
After you install NPort 5110 Administration Suite, there are two ways to set up the NPort 5110’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
that the NPort 5110 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 5110 to the
network first. Off-line COM Mapping can decrease the system integrator’s effort by solving
different field problems. Via off-line installation, users can process the host software installation
and then install the NPort 5110 to different fields.
Use the following procedure to map COM ports:
1. On-line COM Mapping:
Connect NPort 5110 to the network $ Set NPort 5110 to the proper IP address $ Map
COMs to your host $ Apply Change.
2. Off-line COM Mapping:
Map COMs to your host $ Apply Change $ Connect NPort 5110 to the network $
Configure NPort 5110’s IP address.
On-line COM Mapping
1. Broadcast Search for NPort 5110s on the network.
2. Select the COM Mapping function group.
