NPort CE Driver Manager for Windows CE
7-2
Overview
NPort CE Driver Manager is designed for use with NPort 5000 serial ports that are set to Real
COM mode. The software manages the installation of drivers that allow you to map unused COM
ports on your PC to serial ports on the NPort 5000. These drivers are designed for use with
Windows CE 5.0/6.0. When the drivers are installed and configured, devices that are attached to
serial ports on the NPort 5000 will be treated as if they were attached to your PC’s own COM
ports.
