4 Windows Virtual COM Driver
Figure 38: “Bad” NetCom
+
An icon in red color indicates possible problems. To correctly
operate the virtual Com Ports the driver must establish TCP
connections from the PC to the NetCom
+
. This requires a
matching configuration of IP parameters in the NetCom
+
and
in the PC. If the NetCom Plus Manager detects such a TCP
connection is not possible with the current configuration, it
displays this warning. Click the Icon, and the right section
of “Info” will show some details to find the problem. If the
NetCom Plus Manager is now closed by the
OK
button, the
server and the serial ports on it are installed in the operating
system but will not operate correct.
Figure 39: Excluded NetCom
+
Often there are more than only one NetCom
+
listed. And
sometimes not all of them are to be used on this specific com-
puter. The
Exclude
button is used for that purpose. Select
a NetCom
+
Device, and click on that button. The driver will
later ignore this NetCom
+
, when installing and operating the
serial ports. The Icon changes to olive color.
To later include such a NetCom
+
, just use the
Include
button
to change the status. The
OK
button will then install the server
and serial ports in the system.
Figure 40: Disconnected
NetCom
+
The NetCom Plus Manager holds a list of NetCom
+
it has
detected on previous occasions. On every start it attempts to
detect these servers again. If for any reason this is not possibe
right now, the icon is shown with a red cross on it.
If a NetCom
+
has not been operational when the Manager pro-
gram was started, it is either displayed with the cross, or not
displayed at all. You may make it operational by connecting
it now. To install it, use the button
Search
to find it in the
network. Or
Add
it manually with that button (section
5.5
).
