3.5 MAPPING COM PORT TO DEVICE

Only required when operation mode is set to Real COM or RFC2217)

This section covers how to map the COM ports on a Windows PC to NPort device ports. The
mapping will allow Windows software to access serial devices over the network as if they were
local COM devices, providing instant device networking without software migration. COM mapping
is supported in Real COM and RFC2217 modes only.
The following instructions are for device ports operating in Real COM mode. For device ports
operating in RFC2217 mode, follow the instructions for your particular driver. Real COM mode also
supports TTY port mapping on Linux and UNIX systems.

SPECIFYING THE TARGET DEVICE SERVER

In NPort Administrator, click COM Mapping in the Function panel to open the COM Mapping
window. Right-click on an empty line in the COM Mapping window. Select Add Target in the pop-
up menu to assign your device server as the mapping target.

A list of NPort device servers that have been found by NPort Administrator will appear. Select your
device server and click Finish.

Installation Manual MK-Series 15/24

 3. PASSTRHOUGH PORT MOXA

ASSIGNING COM PORT NUMBER TO DEVICE PORT

The COM Mapping screen shows a list of available device ports on the network. Right-click the
target device port and select COM Settings in the pop-up menu.

On the Basic Settings screen, select the COM

port number that will be mapped to the device
port. You can map multiple COM ports at the
same time by selecting the Auto Enumerating
check box to number the COM ports
automatically.

On the Serial Parameters screen, adjust the

settings to match your device. These settings,
which are only used for serial printers, must
also match the settings on the device port. Click
OK when you are satisfied with your changes.

ADVANCED SETTINGS
(See https://www.moxa.com/Moxa/media/PDIM/S100000213/moxa-nport-ia5000-series-manual-
v4.0.pdf for detailed information about NPort Administrator’s Advanced Settings.)

 Tx Mode: In Hi-Performance mode, the driver immediately issues a “Tx Empty” response to
the program after sending data to the NPort. In Classical mode, the driver sends the “Tx
Empty” response after confirmation is received from the NPort. Classical mode is
recommended if you want to ensure that all data is sent out before further processing.
 FIFO: Tells the driver whether or not to use FIFO transmission.
 Network Timeout: Specifies when an open, close, or serial parameter change operation will
time out.
 Fast Flush: When enabled, the driver flushes only the local buffer on the host for a Win32
PurgeComm() function call. When disabled, both the local and remote buffers are flushed. If
your application uses PurgeComm() and it performance seems sluggish, try enabling Fast
Flush.
 Always Accept Open Requests: Even if the driver cannot establish a connection with the
NPort, the user's software will still be able to open the mapped COM port, the same as with
an onboard COM port.
 Ignore TX Purge: The application can use Win32 API PurgeComm to clear the output buffer
and terminate outstanding overlapped write operations. Select Ignore TX Purge if you do not
want the output buffer to be purged.

APPLY CHANGE
Right-click COM Mapping in the Function panel. Select Apply Change in the pop-up menu to save
the current COM mapping settings. Your application will now be able to access the target serial
device using the COM port.
