Overview
The NPort 6150/6250 Series secure serial device servers provide
reliable serial-to-Ethernet connectivity for a wide range of serial
devices. The NPort 6150/6250 support TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP,
and Pair-Connection operation modes to ensure the compatibility of
network software. In addition, the NPort 6150/6250 also support
Secure TCP Server, Secure TCP Client, Secure Pair-Connection, and
Secure Real COM modes for security critical applications such as
banking, telecom, access control, and remote site management.
Package Checklist
Before installing an NPort 6150/6250 secure device server, verify that
the package contains the following items:
•NPort 6150 or NPort 6250
•Power adapter (does not apply to -T models)
•2 wall-mount ears
•Documentation
•Quick installation guide (this guide)
•Warranty card
Optional Accessories
•DK-35A: DIN-rail mounting kit (35 mm)
•CBL-RJ45M9-150: 8-pin RJ45 to male DB9 cable
•CBL-RJ45M25-150: 8-pin RJ45 to male DB25 cable
NOTE: Please notify your sales representative if any of the above items
are missing or damaged.
NOTE
The operating temperature of the power adapter in the box is
from 0 to 40°C. If your application is out of this range, please
use a power adapter supplied by UL Listed External Power
Supply (The power output meets SELV and LPS and
rated 12 to
48 VDC; the minimum current is 0.43 A).

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.

Steady on
Power is on and the NPort is

Blinking
Indicates an IP conflict, or, the
DHCP or BOOTP server did not
respond properly or a relay
output
occurred. Check the relay
output first. If after resolving
the relay output the RDY LED is
still blinking, then there is an IP
conflict, or the DHCP or BOOTP
server did not respond properly.
Green
Steady on
Power is on and the NPort is
functioning normally.
Blinking
The device server has been
located by the Administrator’s
Location function.
Off
Power is off, or power error condition exists.

Open the back door with
a
screwdriver and use the DIP
switch to set the pull high/low
resistors. The default is 150 kΩ.
You can switch the SW1 and SW2
to ON and change the resistors
value to 1 kΩ.
Do not use the 1 kΩ setting with
RS
-232 mode, since doing so will
degrade t
he RS-232 signal and
shorten the communication
distance. In addition, you can
switch the SW3 to ON and set the
terminal resistor to 120Ω.
DIP Switch Setting
Hardware Installation Procedure
STEP 1:
Connect the 12-48 VDC power adaptor to the NPort 6150
and then plug the power adaptor into a DC outlet.
STEP 2:
For first-time configuration, use a cross-over Ethernet cable
to connect the NPort
6150 directly to your computer’s
Ethernet cable. For connecting to a network, use a standard
straight
-through Ethernet cable to connect to a hub or
switch.
STEP 3:
Connect the NPort 6150’s serial port to a serial device.
Placement Options
The NPort 6150/6250 device servers have built-in
"ears" for attaching the device server to a wall or the
inside of a cabinet. We suggest using two screws per
ear to attach the device servers to a wall or the inside
of a cabinet. The heads of the screws should be less
than 6.0 mm in diameter, and the shafts should be less
than 3.5 mm in diameter, as shown in the figure
on
the
right.

The NPort 6150/6250 can be placed flat on a desktop or other
horizontal surface. In addition, you may use the DIN-rail or wall--mount
options, as illustrated below.

Software Installation Information
For the NPort’s configuration, the default IP address of the NPort is
192.168.127.254. You may log in with the account name admin and
password moxa to change any settings to meet your network topology
(e.g., IP address) or serial device (e.g., serial parameters).
For software installation, download the relative utilities from Moxa's
website:
https://www.moxa.com/support/support_home.aspx?isSearchShow=1
• Download the NPort Windows Driver Manager and install it as the
driver to run with Real COM mode of the NPort Series.
• Execute NPort Windows Driver Manager; then map the virtual COM
ports on your Windows platform.
• You may refer to the DB9 Male pin assignment section to loop back
pin 2 and pin 3 for the RS-232 interface to carry out a self-test on the
device.
• Use HyperTerminal or a similar program (you may download Moxa's
program, called PComm Lite) to test whether the device is good or not.
