NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL Series Using NPort Administrator
ATTENTION
A device port must be operating in Real COM mode in order to be used in COM mapping.
Finding Your Device Server
If the list of available servers is empty, find your device server on the network using the Add Target command
in the function context menu.
You may need to click “Rescan” to search the network again for NPort device servers. Once your device server
has been found, select it in order to add it to the COM mapping list. You can also select “Input manually” to
enter a specific IP address and model.
To remove a device server from the COM mapping list, use the Remove Target command in the function
context menu.
ATTENTION
You can configure COM mapping even if your dev
ice server is off-line (not connected). When using the Add
Target command, simply select the “Input manually” option and enter the IP address and model. This is a
useful option for certain field installations where COM mapping must be set up before the NPort is physically
installed.
