Installing PortVision DX

32 - Preparing the DeviceMaster for Configuration
Use PortVision DX to identify, configure, update, and manage the DeviceMaster on
Windows operating systems.
Note: Refer to the download site for information about Windows operating systems
and PortVision DX.
PortVision DX requires that you connect the Comtrol Ethernet-attached product
to the same network segment as the Windows host system if you want to be able to
scan and locate it automatically during the configuration process.
Before installing PortVision DX, consider the following:
• Use PortVision DX to upload firmware and apply changes to a DeviceMaster
that is on the same local network segment as the system on which PortVision
DX is installed. You cannot apply changes through PortVision DX to a
DeviceMaster that is not on the same local network segment.
• Use PortVision DX to monitor any DeviceMaster on the network. The
DeviceMaster does not have to be on the same local network segment as
PortVision DX for monitoring purposes.
During initial configuration, PortVision DX automatically detects and identifies
DeviceMaster units, if they are in the same network segment.
