Configuring Windows Administrator 

Select or de-select Monitor Items. Use the single 
arrowhead buttons to move highlighted items from one 
box to the other. Use the double arrowhead buttons to 
move all items from one box to the other. 

 

Windows Administration Suite comes with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP Real COM drivers. 
After you install Windows Administration Suite, there are two ways to set up the NPort’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 
the NPort 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 to the network 
first. Off-line COM Mapping can decrease the system integrator’s effort by solving different field 
problems. Via off-line installation, the user can process the host software installation and then 
install the NPort to different fields. 

Use the following procedure to map COM ports: 

1.  On-line COM Mapping: 

 
Connect NPort to the network Æ Set NPort to the proper IP address Æ Map COMs to your 
host Æ Apply Change. 

2.  Off-line COM Mapping: 

 
Map COMs to your host Æ Apply Change Æ Connect NPort to the network Æ Configure 
NPort’s IP address. 

 

On-line COM Mapping 

 
Broadcast Search for NPorts on the 
network. 

 
Select the COM Mapping function 
group.
