NPort 5200A Series
Quick Installation Guide
First Edition, July 2010
1. Overview
NPort 5200A series device servers are compact, palm-sized data
communication devices that allow you to control RS-232 (NPort 5210A),
RS-422/485 (NPort 5230A), and RS-232/422/485 (NPort 5250A) serial
devices over a TCP/IP-based Ethernet.
Note: “-T” indicates an extended temperature model.
2. Package Checklist
Before installing the NPort 5200A series device server, verify that the
package contains the following items:
1 NPort 5200A serial device server
4 stick-on pads
Document & Software CD
Quick Installation Guide
Product Warranty Statement
Optional Accessory
DK-35A: DIN-Rail Mounting Kit (35 mm)
Notify your sales representative if any of the above items are missing or
damaged.
3. Hardware Introduction
As shown in the following figures, NPort 5200A series device servers
have two male DB9 ports for transmitting RS-232 (NPort 5210A), or
RS-232/422/485 (NPort 5250A) serial data and have two 5-pin terminal
block ports for transmitting RS-422/485 (NPort 5230A).
Reset Button—Press and hold the Reset button for 5 seconds to load
factory defaults: Use a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip or
toothpick, to depress the reset button. This will cause the Ready LED to
blink on and off. The factory defaults will be loaded once the Ready LED
stops blinking (after about 5 seconds).At this point, release the reset
button.
LED Indicators—NPort 5200A’s top panel has four LED indicators,
which are described in the following table.

Adjustable pull high/low resistor and terminator for RS-422/485
Remove the NPort 5230A/5250A’s top
cover and you will find DIP switches to
adjust each serial port’s pull
-high, pull-low,
and terminator.
Do not use the 1 KΩ setting
with RS
-232 mode, as doing so will
degrade the RS

232 signals and shorten the
communication
s range.

4. Hardware Installation Information
STEP1:After removing the NPort 5200Aseries device server from the
box, connect the NPort 5200A series device server to a network. Use a
standard straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a hub or switch.
When setting up or testing the NPort 5200Aseries device server, you
might find it convenient to connect directly to your computer’s Ethernet
port. In this case, use a cross-over Ethernet cable.
STEP2: Connect the NPort 5200A series device server’s serial port to a
serial device.
STEP3: Connect the power adaptor.
STEP 4: Placement options.
In addition to placing the NPort 5200A on a desktop or other horizontal
surface, you may also make use of the DIN-Rail or Wall Mount options,
as illustrated below.
5. Software Installation Information
To install NPort Administration Suite, insert the NPort Document &
Software CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. Once the NPort
Installation CD window opens, click on the Software folder, and then
follow the instructions on the screen.
To view detailed information about NPort Administration Suite, click
on the Documents folder, and then select “NPort 5200A Series User’s
Manual” to open the pdf version of the user’s guide.
