The default IP address for NPort Server/Async Server is   192.168.127.254.    3.2 Installation     a.Insert the driver disk into floppy disk.       For example, drive a:.      b.login from the console as a super user (root).     c.Type 'cd /' to go to root directory.     d.Type 'tar xvf /dev/fd0' to copy all files into the system.     e.Type '/tmp/moxa/mxinstall'.     f.Select proper operating system in following menu.           1.  SCO UNIX           2.  UNIX SVR 4.2           3.  UNIX SVR 5 (UnixWare 7.x)           4.  Linux     g.Choose proper location for driver source. Select 5 to       install driver from hard disk or specify the location       of the driver disk.           1.  /dev/fd0135ds18      (A:1.44M)           2.  /dev/fd096ds15        (A:1.2M)           3.  /dev/fd1135ds18      (B:1.44M)           4.  /dev/fd196ds18        (B:1.2M)           5.  Hard Disk            /tmp/moxa     h.The shell script will install the driver files automatically.       The administration program 'npadm' will then be activated.   3.3 Configuration     a.If the driver installation is successful, you can see the       main menu of administration utility.          -  Add Server        -  Delete Server                          -  Configure Server        -  Ports Monitor        -  Driver Removal        -  Exit     b.Select 'Add Server' to add NPort Server/Async Server, you can       find two options as follows to add NPort Server/Async Server.        -  Auto-Probe NPort Server/Async Server         -  Manual Add Nport Server/Async Server       Select "Auto-Probe NPort Server/Async Server", the npadm can       search the NPort Server/Async Server on local LAN automatically.        All of the Servers found are displayed in the list of 'Select        NPort Server/Async Server to Add'. Select the NPort Server/Async       Server to be installed.       If you're not sure which NPort Server/Async Server is the one        for installation, you may press Ctrl+B to locate the server by       observing the LED display.       If the NPort Server/Async Server is not installed in the local        LAN but in different network, please select the 'Manual Add        NPort Server/Async Server' to input the Server's IP address       manually.      c.Next, you can see a password dialog poped up. If the NPort       Server/Async Server is password protected, please input the       password and select [ENTER] to continue.       If the Server doesn't have password, you can press [ENTER]       directly to go to next step.             Please note, if you input wrong password more than three       times, the administration program will go back to main       menu.     e.Next, the 'Set Server Property' menu poped up for server       property configuration. You can modify the properties       i.e. server name, IP address, IP Netmask, Gateway, password        and DHCP setting. Select Ctrl+F to save the setting.                    f.Next, the 'Set Port Property' menu poped up for serial       port property configuration. You can set the port status       i.e. device name, baud rate, data bit, stop bit, parity,       , flow control and interface.       The default device name of each port is 'disabled'.       You have to specify a tty name for the serial port to be       activated.       You may select the device name by pressing [ENTER]. Please       note that each port must have a unique device name.      g.After everything is set, the NPort Server/Async Server will       be restartedand the driver daemon will activate automatically.             h.The administration program stores all settinsg in '/usr/bin'.       You may run 'npadm' to change the settings when necessary.   3.4 Check installation       To check the result of installation, you may check the log file       'moxattyd.log' in /usr/etc/moxatty for driver daemon initial       status.   3.5 Add more server       Add Server allows you to add more NPort Server/Async Server.       You may refer to 3.3.b for more detail.          3.6 Remove server       You may remove certain NPort Server/Async Server from the list       by entering this function.4. Maintenance   In addition to above functions, NPort Server/Async Server   administration program also provides more utilities for better   system maintenance.    4.1 Monitor         You can select the Ports Monitor of administration utility to monitor         each port's activity as well as to learn each port's transmission          status by running 'npadm' program. This utility can report the data         length and throughput of transmitting (Tx) and receiving (Rx) when	 data transmission.  	 In this comparison table, you can see the 'Char Count', total character	 counting, based on byte per second. In addition, per Tx and Rx	 throughput reported in both of interval and average based on byte	 per second.	 The interval basis of throughput means the data transmission rate is	 counted within interval setting i.e. based on 3 seconds. And the 	 average basis of throughput displays the average value of entire data	 transmission rate.           We provide the function to change the interval number, 3 ~10seconds,         by pressing <+> and <-> key. Moreover, you can select the port         number then press <Enter> to view per port's status i.e communcation         parameters, signals status, flow control status, and idle time.         If need, you can press the <Home> key to reset the value to zero.     4.2 Serial port sharing and access right authorization          NPort Server/Async Server allows multiple hosts access one serial          port. Therefore, proper access right authorization is necessary.          To configure the access right for each serial port on Server,          you must enter the IP address of the host to be authorized in this	  program.           Press "<Ctrl+G> Set Grant IP" to configure port access authorization.    4.3   Driver Removal          You can remove the Fixed TTY Daemon driver from your system by          running the Driver Removal function.5.
