Moxa Technologies IA5150 User Manual

 

Windows Administration Suite comes with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP Real COM drivers. 
After you install NPort IA5150/5250 Administration Suite, there are two ways to set up the NPort 
IA5150/5250 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 IA5150/5250 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 
IA5150/5250 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 IA5150/5250 to different fields. 

Use the following procedure to map COM ports: 

1.  On-line COM Mapping: 

 
Connect NPort IA5150/5250 to the network Æ Set NPort IA5150/5250 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 IA5150/5250 to the network Æ 
Configure NPort IA5150/5250’s IP address. 

 

On-line COM Mapping 

1.  Broadcast Search for NPort IA5150/5250s on the network. 

 

2.  Select the COM Mapping function group.
