list of device servers is empty, you will need to “find” your device server. Right-click the

device servers to the list by selecting a command such as “Search” or “Add Target”.
3. Once your device server is on the list for the desired function, right-click the target device
server to open the function context menu. Activate the desired command from this context
menu. You may also select the target device server and then open the function context menu

Configuration
Select the Configuration function to configure your NPort, import and export its configuration, or
update its firmware.
Finding Your Device Server
If the list of available servers is empty, find your device server on the network using the Broadcast
Search or Specify by IP Address commands in the function context menu.
Broadcast Search: This searches for all NPort units on the LAN. Since this search is based on
MAC address, rather than IP address, it will be able to find units that are not on the same subnet as
your PC. You may click Stop as soon as your device server is found.
