POWER SUPPLY Connect the cable from the adapter to the power jack at the rear side of NetCom. Place the adapter into the wall outlet. The red Power LED on NetCom will light. 2.2. ETHERNET 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 network with 10Mbit, the LED remains dark. 2.3. SERIAL PORT The serial port of NetCom allows for different operations modes. These are defined by Dip switches. The factory setting is RS232 (like COM1). To change this operation mode, please consult the table printed on the NetCom (top side), or the User Manual on the CD-ROM. 3. DRIVER INSTALLATION The driver setup is supervised by the Installation Wizard. Before you start, contact your Network Administrator. He will select correct values of IP-address and Netmask for the NetCom. Please have him check the values mentioned below at the “Info Panel”. The Installation Wizard will detect the NetCom devices in your network. Later Windows will find the serial ports via Plug & Play. 4. THE INSTALLATION WIZARD Insert the CD-ROM into your drive. It will start automatic, presenting some information. You have the choice to start the installation. If the CD does not start, or you do not want it to, double-click the Icon of the installation program. You’ll find it in D:\Software, where “D” is the letter of your CD-ROM drive. After copying some files your network is scanned for NetCom devices. This usually takes about 30 seconds. Ensure network settings of the NetCom are correct, by double-clicking each devices icon. 4.1. INFO-PANEL For the Quick Installation it is most convenient to use the DHCP option. Installation Wizard Info Panel of NetCom Server

“Name server”. IP address is required, and must be unique for the entire network. The Netmask is also required; consult your Network Administrator (recommended). Important: The default configuration of NetCom may result in a fixed IP-Address. It will be the same for all connected devices. Then the Wizard can not configure to a certain device. It is best to connect several NetCom one by one, configure them, connect the next and search for that device. 5. DEVICE AND PORT INSTALLATION In the next phase of installation the Device Manager installs driver software for configured NetCom devices. In some systems the Device Manager 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. Press “Next” and let the system find the best driver software for the device. Finish the installation by pressing “Finish”. 6. VERIFY THE INSTALLATION 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 as usual in Ports, while the NetCom devices have a class of their own: “VScom Virtual Com”. Properties of the entire class can be viewed by marking the class name and pressing the right mouse button. The Installation Wizard will pop up. 7. UNINSTALLING THE DRIVERS To uninstall the drivers, open “Start” � “Control Panel” � “Add/Remove Programs”, and select the item “VScom drivers for virtual serial ports”. Click “Change/Remove” to remove the drivers. NetCom Ports in Device Manager Logo Test Uninstall NetCom Drivers
