Installation and Configuration

NPort Server Lite User’s Manual 4-37

3. Locate and then select the filename of the firmware that you downloaded.

4. Click on Open and then wait until you see an “upgrade completed” message. The

server will restart automatically.

. Note: When using this procedure, only the selected server’s firmware is upgraded. If you

know that new NPort Lite Manager software has been released, it is recommended that

you uninstall the old NPort Lite Manager program from your NT/95/98 host’s hard

drive, and then install the new one.

Pair-Connection Mode

In this section we discuss a novel way of using an Ethernet network and two NPort Server

Lites to connect a computer to a serial device. The computer connects to the serial port of

one of the NPort Server Lites, and the serial device connects to the serial port of the other

NPort Server Lite. The two servers are then connected to the same TCP/IP Ethernet

network. As long as each server knows the IP address of the other server, they can

communicate with each other, and in this way a connection between the computer and

serial device is established.

The Pair-Connection Mode is also somewhat more versatile than the Host-Based Mode. For

one thing, the computer does not need to be running Windows NT/95/98. Furthermore,

instead of using a computer, you could also use any of the PDAs (Personal Digital

Assistants, such as Palm IIIc, etc.) that come with RS-232 ports.
