If you want to use the ports as tty (Linux®) or COM ports (Microsoft®), you must install the appropriate NS-Link device driver, which also provides TCP/IP socket support. Use the table below to locate your driver and installation documentation.

If you do not need tty or COM ports, you do not need to install a device driver. To configure TCP/IP sockets or serial tunneling, open your web browser and enter the DeviceMaster 500 IP address.
