Select the Ports section in the Manager. These are the special options used while installing the
driver software. At any time after installation the configuration may be changed by the NetCom
Plus Manager program. This may result in serial ports appearing in or vanishing from the system.
4.4.5.1 Changing the Installation
There are common situations, when the current configuration
needs a change. In the first case the NetCom
+
has a new IP Address, i.e. this has been changed
not using the Manager application. Reasons may be the NetCom
+
has been moved to a different
location, or the logical structure of the network has changed. Because of the changed address the
driver does not find the serial port to contact.

Now open the NetCom Manager. It will re-detect the devices. In this process the Manager finds
the already installed NetCom

, but with a new configuration. Confirm this change by clicking
OK
here and subsequently in the Manager. The parameters of the installed Virtual Com Port are
changed to contact the same serial ports on a new network address. In the Device Manager of
Windows it may be necessary to search for hardware changes, and then the new parameters are
displayed there.
