COM Mapping

NPort Administration Suite comes with Windows Real COM drivers. After you install NPort Administration Suite,
there are two ways to set up the NPort 5200A 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
5200A 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 first connecting the NPort 5200A to the network.
Off-line COM Mapping can decrease the system integrator's effort by solving different field problems. Via
off-line installation, users can first process software installation for the host, and then install the NPort 5200A
to different fields.
Use the following procedure to map COM ports:

1. On-line COM Mapping:

Connect the NPort 5200A to the network  Set the NPort 5200A's IP address  Map COMs to your host 
Apply Change.
2. Off-line COM Mapping:
Map COMs to your host  Apply Change  Connect the NPort 5200A to the network  Configure the NPort
5200A's IP address.
