Netcom Servers allow you to connect existing devices with serial
interface to Ethernet and Internet.
Ne
tcom Servers are intelligent and flexible gateways between
Ethernet and serial ports, which allow to address serial ports over
TC /I sockets. Additionally, the NetCom Drivers make a
remote serial port to act as a virtual COM port. In this mode, your
origi
nal application can control remotely located devices directly
over network.

Check if all parts are available. And also
carefully check if the adapter has the correct
voltage (110/220V AC) and connector for your
wall outlets.
2. H ARDWARE C ONFIGURATION
2.1. P OWER S UPPLY
Connect the cable from the adapter to the
power jack at the rear side of NetCom. lace the
adapter into the wall outlet.
The red ower LED on NetCom will light.
2.2. E THERNET
Connect the RJ45 on the rear side of NetCom to
your Switch or Hub. The yellow Link LED on
NetCom will light. When data traffic occurs on
the network, this LED will blink.
If you have a 100Mbit network the green Speed
LED on NetCom will light. If you have a
10Mbit network, the Speed LED remains dark.
2. . S ERIAL P ORT
The serial port of NetCom allows for different
operation modes, these are defined by DI
switches. The factory setting is RS232 (like
COM1). Make sure this is still the situation with
your NetCom. To change this operation mode,
please consult the table printed on the NetCom
Server (top side), or the User Manual on the
CD-ROM.
. N ETWORK C ONFIGURATION
There are two basic configuration modes:
DHC and Non-DHC . Before you start,
contact your Network Administrator. He must
be informed about the new device in the
network, and he has to choose parameters.
You need them for driver installation.
4. D RIVER I NSTALLATION W IZARD
The driver setup is supervised by the Installation
Wizard. The Wizard will detect the NetCom
devices in your network. Later Windows will
find the serial ports via lug & lay.
Insert the CD-ROM into your
drive. It will start automatic,
presenting some information.
You have the choice to start the
installation direct from CD. If the
CD does not start, or you do not
want it to, double-click the Icon of the Wizard.
You’ll find it in the folder named as your
Windows system.
After copying some files the Wizard scans your
LAN for NetCom devices. Double-click each
devices icon to check the network parameters.
4.1. DHCP C ONFIGURATION
The search for NetCom usually takes about 30
seconds. For the Quick Installation it is most
convenient to use the DHC option. This option
is recommended.
4.2. N ON -DHCP C ONFIGURATION
If the NetCom is configured for DHC , and
there is no server in the network, NetCom needs
up to 2 minutes to start. This is normal, and not
an error. You must uncheck “Use DHC ”. Then
enter values “I address” to “Name server”.

I address is required, and must be unique for
the entire network. The Netmask is also
required, and must be the same for all stations in
your network. It is recommended to consult
your Network Administrator for proper
parameters.
Ensure network settings of the NetCom are
correct, by double-clicking each devices icon.
Important: The default configuration of
NetCom may result in a fixed I -Address. It will
be the same for all connected devices. Then the
Wizard can not configure a certain device. It is
best to connect several NetCom one by one,
configure each, then connect the next and search
for that device.
5. D EVICE AND P ORT
I NSTALLATION
In the next phase of installation the Device
Manager installs the driver software for
configured NetCom devices. Some Windows
systems will ask the user to confirm the
installation. This is normal, and not an error
message. Click on “Continue”. Now Windows
will detect all the serial ports on the NetCom
servers.
Windows installs drivers for virtual Com ports.
ress “Next” and let the system find the best
driver software for the device. Finish the
installation by click on “Finish”.
6. V ERIFY THE I NSTALLATION
Once the drivers are installed, the devices are
listed in the Device Manager. Here is a sample
view.
The NetCom devices install components in two
classes. The serial ports are installed in orts as
usual, while the NetCom Servers install in
“Multi-port serial adapters”.
7. U NINSTALLING THE D RIVERS
To uninstall the drivers, open “Start” 
“Control anel”  “Add/Remove rograms”,
and select the item “VScom drivers for virtual
serial ports”. Click “Change/Remove” to
remove the drivers.
