WE-2100T Series User’s Manual Using Network Enabler Administrator Opening the Function Context Menu Each function has its own function context menu where specific commands are selected. A function’s context menu is opened by right-clicking the function in the function panel or by right-clicking the target module in the module list.
WE-2100T Series User’s Manual Using Network Enabler Administrator Configuration Within the Configuration function are commands to configure your module, import and export its configuration, and update its firmware. The Configuration context menu is shown below: Modules may be password-protected to prevent unauthorized configuration changes. A module’s password status will be shown in the target module list.
WE-2100T Series User’s Manual Using Network Enabler Administrator Broadcast Search Description This identifies all modules on the LAN and places them in the target module list for the Configuration function. Since this search is based on MAC address, rather than IP address, it will be able to find units that are not on the same subnet as your PC.
WE-2100T Series User’s Manual Using Network Enabler Administrator Assign IP Address Description This allows you to set the target module’s IP address quickly, instead of digging through pages of configuration parameters. Configure Description This opens the target module’s configuration window. In the configuration window, tabs are used to navigate between the different settings.
WE-2100T Series User’s Manual Using Network Enabler Administrator ATTENTION You can configure multiple units simultaneously if the units are all the same model. Simply hold down the CTRL or SHIFT key when selecting the target modules. Upgrade Firmware This allows you to upload new firmware to the target module. You will be Description prompted to indicate where the firmware file is located.
WE-2100T Series User’s Manual Using Network Enabler Administrator Monitor The Monitor function is used for live monitoring of your module over the network. Different parameters and events may be monitored, and you can receive pop-up warnings for certain events. The Monitor context menu is shown below:...
WE-2100T Series User’s Manual Using Network Enabler Administrator Remove Target Description This removes a module from the Monitor list. Load Configured COM Port If any COM ports are being mapped to modules over the network, this Description command will add those modules to the Monitor list. (COM ports can be mapped over the network to a serial port on the WE-2100T that is operating in RealCOM mode.)
WE-2100T Series User’s Manual Using Network Enabler Administrator Description This activates live monitoring. All modules on the Monitor list will be monitored live, as indicated by “Running” in the header. If alarms are enabled through the Setting command, a notification will appear when a monitored unit goes off-line.
WE-2100T Series User’s Manual Using Network Enabler Administrator Port Monitor The Port Monitor function is identical to the Monitor function, but with many additional items that can be monitored, as shown below. In addition, each serial port will be listed as a separate item on the Port Monitor list and can be selected or deselected for monitoring.
WE-2100T Series User’s Manual Using Network Enabler Administrator COM Mapping The COM Mapping function is used to configure the Real COM drivers, which are automatically installed with Network Enabler Administrator. The Real COM drivers map COM ports over the network to serial ports on WE-2100T modules. This allows a local application to use COM5, for example, to communicate with a device attached to the module.
WE-2100T Series User’s Manual Using Network Enabler Administrator Add Target Description This places modules on the module list for COM mapping. You may need to click Rescan to search the network for available modules. You can also select Input manually to enter a specific IP address and model.
