COM Mapping
Network Enabler Administrator Suite comes with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista Real
COM drivers. After you install Network Enabler Administrator Suite, there are two ways to set up
the WE-2100T’s serial port as your host’s remote COM port.
The first way is On-line COM Mapping. On-line COM Mapping will check to make sure the
WE-2100T is connected correctly to the network and then install the driver on the host computer.
The second way is Off-line COM Installation, with does not require connecting the WE-2100T
to the network first. Off-line COM Mapping can decrease the system integrator’s effort by solving
different field problems. With off-line installation, users can process the host software installation
and then install the WE-2100T to different fields.
Use the following procedure to map COM ports:
1. On-line COM Mapping:
Connect WE-2100T to the network Æ Set WE-2100T 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 WE-2100T to the network Æ
Configure WE-2100T’s IP address.
