PortVision DX Requirements
Use PortVision DX to identify, configure, update, and manage the DeviceMaster on Windows Server 2008 R2
through Windows 10 operating systems.
PortVision DX requires that you connect the Comtrol Ethernet attached product to the same network segment
as the Windows host system if you want to be able to scan and locate it automatically during the configuration
process.
Note:
You must install PortVision DX v3.02 or higher to load firmware with a .cmtl extension.

with PortVision DX when security is enabled using the web interface (SocketServer/NS-Link).
•
PortVision DX must scan the DeviceMaster before configuring security.
•
PortVision DX locates the DeviceMaster before setting either
