2. Error Installation Type- If you installing NPort under 'Single-Host' type, you
cannot change server IP address. This is to simplify the Single-Host
configuration procedures to be as close as traditional multiple board
installation. Under 'Single-Host', user can only modify the server's name and
server's password. This is because 'Single-Host' users do not need to share their
NPort server to other hosts. If you do need to modify other properties, run the
setup program and change to other type (see detail in Chapter 6).
u
You want to add one more hosts to access to the NPort Server on the
network right now but you cannot access to the page for Access Control.
1. Check with the NPort Manager Type. If it is under Single-Host, change to
Multi-Host or Custom.
2. Make sure that you are the administrator.
u
After installing the NPort Server, you find the port showing 'Un-
authorized' status under the NPort Manager program.
This means the NPort Server does not contain your computer on the Access
Control list. It happens when your NT is just one of the hosts who share the ports
on the selected server and you do not provide the server password while installing
the NPort Server. The other situation is - you install the NPort Server at local site
and access to that correctly. Later on, you move the server to a remote site and you
connect to the server through WAN port. Since now your IP address might be
changed to another IP address due to different network interface connection, you
are not on the Access Control List now.
To solve this problem:
1. Confirm with your IP address to the NPort Server.
2. Ask the administrator to check on the server configuration and set the your
permission to the Access Control list of the NPort Server.
u
After installing the NPort Server, you find the port showing 'Mode
Mismatch' status under the NPort Manager program.
This happens when the port you want to access is set to mode other than COM.
For instance, the port can be set under WAN port using NPort Manager by the
server administrator. Moreover, NPort Server can be configured by Async Server
Manager to other modes like Terminal, Printer, SLIP for other application. If you
do like to set the port for COM port under Windows NT, go to the port and select
'Set as COM port' from the pull down menu. Refer to chapter 5 for detail
description.
