Introduction  
Your I+ME NetPorty II  
1.1 Your I+ME NetPorty II  
The NetPorty II is an improved portable network  
adapter. It is designed to connect devices with RS232  
or Centronics interface to the CAN bus. With its features  
it is an ideal general purpose hardware for industrial and  
automotive analyzes and diagnostics.  
With NetPorty II you can visualize bus-traffic and  
configure components within a CAN network. It enables  
you to transfer software from or to control components.  
The data can be exported to readable by standard PC  
programs like Excel. In this way the user can generate  
statistic diagrams, etc. to analyze the CAN  
communication.  
In the I+ME standard software you can set bus specific  
values. For transmitted or received data it is possible to  
assign fix display to one CAN message.  
In addition to the above mentioned features you can  
transfer your own programs to NetPorty II by the use of  
the RS232 link. The download utilities are included as  
well as sample programs.  
The NetPorty II can optionally be equipped with an  
UART for automotive diagnosis. In this case it is a  
converter RS 232 or Centronics to ISO 9141 (K-Line).  
Working with the parallel port is 2..5 times faster as the  
serial port access. The speed depends on the PC  
speed.

Installation  
Overview  
2.1 Overview  
This chapter gives detailed information about installing  
the NetPorty II hardware and about the necessary  
software drivers which make NetPorty II access  
possible.  
The NetPorty II is delivered with access driver and  
applications for Windows 95 and Windows NT. To get  
your NetPorty II operational follow the installation guide  
lines.  
2.2 Installing the Hardware  
To install the hardware you should connect the  
NetPorty II to the serial or to the parallel port of your PC.  
If the NetPorty II operates at the serial port of the PC  
the adapter cable will be used to get the right signals.  
Plug in the 25 pin D-Sub connector of the adapter cable  
to the NetPorty II and the 9 pin D-Sub connector to the  
serial interface of the PC.  
The NetPorty II can operate at the parallel port which  
must be configured as EPP1 (V1.7 or V1.9) mode.  
ECP2.mode is not supported.  
Make sure that the right interrupts are used in the  
systems configuration and the BIOS settings.
