NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL Series Using NPort Administrator
COM Mapping Settings
Each item on the COM mapping list refers to an individual device port on an NPort device server. To map a COM
port to a listed device port, right-click the target device port and select COM Settings in the function context
menu.
ATTENTION
You can map multiple COM ports in one step by holding down the Ctrl or Shift key when selecting the target
device ports.
In the Basic Settings tab, the COM Number parameter selects the COM port that will be mapped to the device
port. The drop-down list shows available COM ports with status.
Status Description
in use Already being used by system or already mapped to an NPort device port
assigned Assigned to an NPort device port but changes have not been applied yet
current Assigned to currently selected device port, changes have not been applied yet
The “Auto Enumerating” parameter can be used when mapping multiple device ports at the same time. When
the parameter is checked, this option automatically assigns available COM numbers sequentially. If not
checked, you will need to configure COM mapping for each device port separately.
In the Advanced Settings tab, you may configure how serial data is transmitted from the PC to the NPort
device port.
