Hardware Introduction
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.

Red
Steady on:
Power is on and the NPort
6150 is booting up.
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.

Adjustable pull high/low resistor for RS-422/485
(150 K? or 1 K?)
Jumpers are used to set the pull
high/low resistors. The default is
150 kΩ. Short the jumpers to set
this value to 1 kΩ. Do not use the
kΩ setting with RS
-232 mode,
since doing so will degrade the
RS
-232 signals and shorten the
communication distance.

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 can be placed flat on a desktop or other horizontal
surface. In addition, you may use the DIN-rail or wallmount
options, as illustrated below.
