P1
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
LED Name LED Color LED Function
PWR Red Power is being supplied to the power input.
Steady on: Power is on and the NPort
6150 is booting up.
Red
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.
Steady on: Power is on and the NPort
6150 is functioning normally.
Green Blinking: The device server has been
located by the Administrator’s
Location function.
Ready
Off Power is off, or power error condition exists.
Orange 10 Mbps Ethernet connection.
Green 100 Mbps Ethernet connection
Link
Off Ethernet cable is disconnected, or has a
short.
Orange Serial port is receiving data.
Green Serial port is transmitting data.
P1
Off No data is being transmitted or received
through the serial port.
Green Serial port was opened by server side
software.
P1 in-use
LED Off Serial port has not been opened by server
side software.
Adjustable pull high/low resistor for RS-422/485 (150 KΩor 1 KΩ)
JP4, JP5
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
KΩsetting with RS-232 mode,
since doing so will degrade the
RS-232 signals and shorten the
communication distance.

4. 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 Wall Mount options, as
illustrated below.
