Figure 35: Select NetCom

to install
The NetCom Plus Manager program is automatically started by the Installation Wizard, or later
intentionally by the user (see fig.
29
). There are different ways the NetCom
+
servers are listed.
Figure 36: New NetCom
+
The first time a NetCom
+
is detected it is displayed in blue
color. This indicates a “New” status, i.e. it is not yet installed
in the system, but it is ready to. When the NetCom Plus
Manager is closed by the
OK
button the server and the serial
ports on it are installed in the operating system.
Figure 37: Installed NetCom
+
When the NetCom Plus Manager is started a second time,
usually the NetCom
+
in the network are already installed in
Windows. Then the icon is shown in green color. Exiting the
NetCom Plus Manager by
OK
button will not change this part
of the installation.
