NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL Series Basic Installation
Make adjustments to the parameters as necessary. When you are ready to restart the device server with the
new settings, click “OK”.
STEP 5: Map COM port to device
This step covers the mapping of COM ports on a Windows PC to NPort device ports. This allows Windows
software to access serial devices over the network as if they were local COM devices, for instant device
networking without software migration. COM mapping is supported in Real COM and RFC2217 modes only.
The following instructions are for device ports operating in Real COM mode. For device ports operating in
RFC2217 mode, follow the instructions for your particular driver. Real COM mode also supports TTY port
mapping in Linux and UNIX systems.
This step requires the following items:
• NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL device server with the following:
Live connection to the network
Device port configured for Real COM operation
• Windows PC with the following:
Live connection to the same network
NPort Administrator installed
Software for intended serial application installed
Make sure that NPort Administrator is open with your device server listed in the configuration panel. You should
also know the serial communication parameters for the attached device and intended application.
