3. Hardware Introduction
The NPort 6250 series has 3 models. A brief description of each
model is given below:
•NPort 6250
Two RS-232/422/485 serial ports and one 10/100Tx Ethernet
port
•NPort 6250-S-SC
Two RS-232/422/485 serial ports and one 100Fx single mode
fiber Ethernet port
•NPort 6250-M-SC
Two RS-232/422/485 ports and one 100Fx multi mode fiber
Ethernet 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.

on:
Power is on and the NPort 6250
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.
4. Hardware Installation Procedure
STEP 1: Connect the 12-48 VDC power adaptor to the NPort 6250
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 6250 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 6250’s serial port(s) to serial
device(s).
