Hardware Introduction

NPort 6250
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.
LED Indicators

PWR
Red
Power is being supplied to the power input.
Ready
Red
Steady on
Power is on and the NPort 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.
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.

Adjustable pull high/low resistor for RS-422/485 (150
KΩor 1 KΩ)
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 1 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 6150/6250 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.
