USER'S MANUAL. MO-16X
The CPR Manager needs to be installed on the computer that will remotely control
the MO-16X via a virtual serial port. The installation of this software is self-explanatory.
The CPR Manager is able to create up to 255 virtual RS-232 serial ports on the
computer it is running on, associating a valid COM port number to the IP address of a
MO-16X. The virtual COM port built on top of the Ethernet connection will last for as
long as the network connection with the MO-16X is available. A change in the IP
address of the MO-16X necessarily triggers a change in the virtual COM port
configuration or, alternatively, the creation of a new serial port mapped to the new
address.
The process of assigning a virtual COM port to a MO-16X has to be done only
once on the computer which will be used to remotely control the modulator. If all
modulators connected to a private network are given the same IP address, the CPR
Manager will use the same COM port to control each and everyone of them.
These are the steps required to create a virtual serial COM port using CPR
Manager:
1. Connect the MO-16X 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-16X 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.
