NPort 5100A Series Configuring NPort Administrator
Configuration
The Administrator-Configuration window is divided into four parts.
• The top section contains the function list and online help area. (Windows NT does not support this .chm file
format.)
• The five Administrator function groups are listed in the left section.
• A list of the NPort 5100A serial device servers, each of which can be selected to process user requirements,
is displayed in the right section.
• The activity Log, which displays messages that record the user’s processing history, is shown in the bottom
section.
Broadcast Search
The Broadcast Search function is used to locate all NPort 5100As that are connected to the same LAN as your
computer. Since the Broadcast Search function searches by MAC address and not IP address, all NPort 5100As
connected to the LAN will be located, regardless of whether or not they are part of the same subnet as the host.
1. Position the cursor in the right middle section of the Administrator window and then click the right mouse
button.
