Configuring the DeviceMaster UP
The DeviceMaster UP platform includes PortVision Plus, which is the
management application that you use to:
•
Configure the DeviceMaster UP network settings
•
Upload protocol-specific firmware for your environment
•
Access the protocol-specific
Server Configuration
page for serial port
configuration
You can use PortVision Plus to monitor and manage devices from a centrally-
located personal computer. PortVision Plus detects and graphically displays, in
detail, every DeviceMaster UP server on the network. Network administrators
can see the real-time operating conditions for each device server at a glance.
Note:
If PortVision Plus is already installed, go directly to
DeviceMaster UP Network Settings
on Page 20 to change the IP address on
the DeviceMaster UP.
Installing and Upgrading PortVision Plus
PortVision Plus requires a host system running Windows 2000, Windows XP, or
Windows Server 2003.
Before installing PortVision Plus, consider the following:
•
Use PortVision Plus to upload firmware and apply changes to a DeviceMaster
UP that is on the
same local network segment
as the system on which
PortVision Plus is installed. You cannot apply changes through PortVision
Plus to a DeviceMaster UP that is not on the same local network segment.
•
Use PortVision Plus to monitor any DeviceMaster UP on the network. The
DeviceMaster UP does not have to be on the same local network segment as
PortVision Plus for monitoring purposes.
You can install or upgrade PortVision Plus from the
Software and Documentation
CD that came with your DeviceMaster UP or download the latest version.
•
Install from the CD using the menu system or by executing the
.msi
file in the
/Dev_Mstr/PortVision_UP
directory.
•
Download the latest from
download.asp?partnumber=1800294
.
Note:
See the PortVision Plus help system for information.
