NPort 6000 Series
Software Installation/Configuration
10-11
3.
The Serial Parameters window in the following figure shows the default settings when the NPort 6000 is
powered on. However, the program can redefine the serial parameters to different values after the program
opens the port via Win 32 API.
4.
Click the Security tab to configure security settings. Select the Enable Data Encryption option to enable
data to be encrypted when transmitted over the COM ports. After selecting the encryption option, select the
Keep connection option to start encrypting COM port communications immediately without restarting the
COM ports. (If your application will open/close COM ports frequently and the NPort 6000 is only for one host,
you can enable this option to speed up the opening/closing time. However, this will result in your host tying
up the COM port so that other hosts cannot use it.) Select the Apply All Selected Ports option to enable
the security settings to be applied to all COM ports.
5.
Click the IPv6 Setting tab to configure the interface for Link-Local address mapping. When the global IPv6
address is used, this function can be ignored. When the Link-Local IPv6 address is used, users should select
an interface for routing on interface index for address 1. The interface index for address 2 is for “redundant
COM mode,” which applies only to the CN2600 series.
