Hardware Introduction
NOTE
The LCD panel is only available with standard temperature
models.
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.

Adjustable pull up/down resistor for RS-422/485 (150
KΩor 1 K
Ω
)
Dip switch Pin 1 and Pin 2 are
used to set the pull
up/down
resistors. The default is 150
KΩ.
Turn on dip switch Pin 1
and Pin 2
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.
Dip switch Pin 3 is used to set
the terminator. Turn on dip
switch Pin 3 to set this value to
120
ohm.
Hardware Installation Procedure
STEP 1: Connect the 12-48 VDC power adapter to the NPort 6450 and
then plug the power adapter into a DC outlet.
STEP 2: For first-time configuration, use a cross-over Ethernet cable to
connect the NPort 6450 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 6450’s serial port(s) to serial device(s).
NOTE
The operating temperature of the power adapter in the box is 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
- 48 VDC, minimum
0.73A). Moxa has power adapters with wide temperature range
(
-40 to 75˚C, -40 to 167˚F), the PWR-12150-(plug type)-SA-T
series, for your reference.
