GRAVIMETRIC GATEWAY AND ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS

• NPort’s Batch Configurator (See Moxa’s documentation for more info)

NOTE: In some cases the Configurator program will not run correctly under Windows

XP. This problem was observed in version 1.0 of the Configurator program. The problem

may have been corrected in version 1.3, which is included on the enclosed CD-ROM.

Problem Description:

When running the Configurator’s “Broadcast Search”, the search will find the DE-211 unit(s)

but does not list the unit(s) in the Configurator List. Other operating systems

(95/98/ME/2000) have not experienced this problem. If you experience this problem, you

may if possible choose to use a different OS to configure the G2-ES.

XP Workaround: As the Configurator is searching for DE-211 units; stop the search before

the search is complete. If you have one or more DE-211 units, observe the search and when

the last unit is found, stop the search. If the search stops on it’s own (and does not display the

units in the main Configurator list), run the search again and manually stop the search by

clicking the “Stop” button. By stopping the search manually, in most cases the problem does

not occur for that search nor any other searches and the DE-211 unit(s) are displayed in the

Configurator correctly. Additionally, NPort’s Batch Configurator can be used to configure

the DE-211 Ethernet to Serial units.
