ENET-232 and ENET-485 Series User Manual

The LEDs show the current status of the serial device server. Table 1-1
describes each LED.

Serial Server Software Overview

Windows 2000/NT 4.0

The serial server software for Windows 2000/NT includes a native
Windows 2000/NT kernel driver that provides full interrupt-driven,
buffered I/O for multiple COM ports. Using this driver, you can obtain a
maximum baud rate of 460.8 kbits/s for the ENET-485 and 230.4 kbits/s for
the ENET-232.

The serial server software includes the following components:

•

Device driver

•

Serial Configuration utility (NI Ports)

•

NI Ethernet Device Configuration utility

•

Serial Device Server Diagnostics utility

•

NI Ethernet Device Firmware Update utility

Table 1-1.

LED Descriptions

LED

Description

PWR/RDY

Flashes rapidly at start-up while performing self
tests and when acquiring network parameters. A
steady yellow state indicates the box is ready for
operation. Slow flashing pattern indicates an error
occurred.

LINK 10/100

Indicates the serial device server detected a twisted
pair (10Base-T or 100Base-TX) link. The color
indicates the connection speed. If yellow, the speed
is 10 Mbits/s. If green, the speed is 100 Mbits/s.

TX

Indicates the serial device server is transmitting to
the Ethernet network.

RX

Indicates the serial device server is receiving
Ethernet network traffic.

PORT

x

Indicates which serial ports are open.
