Com Mapping; On-Line Com Mapping - Moxa Technologies NPort 5200 Series User Manual

COM Mapping

Windows Administration Suite comes with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP Real COM drivers.
After you install NPort 5200 Administration Suite, there are two ways to set up the NPort 5200'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 5200 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 5200 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 5200 to different fields.
Use the following procedure to map COM ports:

1. On-line COM Mapping:

Connect NPort 5200 to the network
COMs to your host
2. Off-line COM Mapping:
Map COMs to your host
Configure NPort 5200's IP address.
On-line COM Mapping
Broadcast Search for NPort 5200s on the

the previous Broadcast Search. Select the NPort 5200 to
which you would like to map COM ports.
