USER'S MANUAL MO-180
These are the steps required to create a virtual serial COM port using CPR
Manager:
1. Connect the MO-180 to the private network using a CAT5 Ethernet cable.
2. Turn on the modulator.
3. Open the CPR Manager application on the computer connected to the
network.
4. If the modulator belongs to the same subnetwork as the PC, go to Device on
the toolbar and click Search. If redirecting over a Wide Area Network (WAN) or
the Internet, both the PC and the MO-180 must have correct gateway address
configured in their IP settings.
5. At the bottom of the screen the window pane called Devices will show the IP
address of the modulator together with its MAC address and any other available
information.
6. Go to Com Port menu on the toolbar and select Add and Remove. A window
displaying a list of numbered COM ports pops up.
7. Select a COM port number from those available and click OK. The dialog box
closes. The new COM port appears in red in the Com Ports list identified as New
and the word Modified appears at the bottom right of the screen. Its current
configuration is shown on the right hand side of the screen.
8. We must configure a new port before it can be used by any communications
software. Click on the new COM port in the Com Ports window and the Settings
tab appears. Right-click on the IP address of the modulator in the Devices
window and select Add to Settings. To save the COM port click on Save Settings
in the Com Port menu.
9. Go back to the Com Port List tab. The new COM port is shown along with
additional information if available:
-
IP Address of the modulator to which the COM port is connected.
-
Status of the connection between the COM port and the MO-180.
The virtual COM port is now set up and ready to access the modulator or
modulators connected to the subnetwork that will respond to its associated IP address.
It is possible to verify the status of a virtual serial connection using CPR
Manager. First of all, we have to double check that the modulator we are trying to talk
to is turned on and connected to the network.
Then from CPR Manager select the General Tests tab and open the COM port
we created. If everything is working all right, the counter of received characters Rx
Data will be increased by one for each character received from the modulator. For
example, the count will be incremented by one every time the MO-180 sends a XON
code over the virtual serial port (once per second).
