3. Hardware Introduction
The NPort 5200 series of device servers are used to control
RS-232/422/485 devices. NPort 5210/5210-T has two 8-pin RJ45
ports, both for the RS-232 interface. NPort 5230/5230-T has one
10-pin terminal block, with 5 pins used for one RS-232 port, and 5
pins used for one RS-422/485 port. NPort
5232/5232I/5232-T/5232I-T have one 10-pin terminal block, with
5 pins used for one RS-422/485 port, and 5 pins used for another
RS-422/485 port.
Reset Button—Press the Reset button continuously for 5 sec to
load factory defaults: Use a pointed object, such as a straightened
paper clip or toothpick, to press 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, you should release the reset button.

4. Hardware Installation Procedure
STEP 1: After removing NPort 5200 from the box, the first thing
you should do is connect the power adaptor. Connect the 12-30
VDC power line with NPort 5200’s terminal block, or connect the
DIN-Rail power supply with NPort 5200’s terminal block.
STEP 2: Connect NPort 5200 to a network. Use a standard
straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a Hub or Switch.
When setting up or testing NPort 5200, you might find it
convenient to connect directly to your computer’s Ethernet port. In
this case, use a cross-over Ethernet cable.
STEP 3: Connect NPort 5200’s serial port to a serial device.
STEP 4: Placement Options
In addition to placing
NPort 5200 on a desktop
or other horizontal
surface, you may also
make use of the DIN
-
Rail
or Wall Mount options, as
illustrated here.
