Note:
The so-called “Second Stage Bootloader” (
2nd Stage Loader
) is
a software module inside the netTAP complementing the regular
firmware. If the firmware is defective or missing, the Second Stage
Bootloader takes over, enabling communication between the device
and
ComProX2
via USB.
A netTAP device running with proper functional firmware connected
via USB would answer at the COM port with a
netTAP 151
entry,
followed by the abbreviation of the protocol conversion implemented
in the firmware.
