installing PortVision Plus for initial configuration.

DeviceMaster

Use PortVision Plus to identify, configure, update, and manage the DeviceMaster on the
following operating systems:
• Windows 2000

PortVision Plus requires that you connect the DeviceMaster to the same network
segment as the Windows system during the configuration process.
If you have a previous version of PortVision Plus on your system, use the Control Panel to
remove PortVision Plus before installing the latest version.
During initial configuration, PortVision Plus automatically detects and identifies
DeviceMaster units, if they are in the same network segment by using the Scan Network
button in PortVision Plus.
