Overview
NPort IA device servers deliver easy and reliable serial-to-Ethernet
connectivity for the industrial automation market. The servers support
several operation modes—TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP, Real COM, Pair
Connection, and Ethernet Modem—ensuring the compatibility of
network software, and they are an ideal choice for connecting RS-
232/422/485 serial devices, such as PLCs, sensors, meters, motors,
drives, barcode readers, and operator displays. NPort IA device servers
come with a compact and rugged DIN-rail mountable casing.
NOTE
This equipment is intended for use in a restricted area location.

Reset Button—Pr ess the Reset button for 5 seconds 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.

Hardware Installation Procedure
STEP 1: Connect the NPort IA to a network. Use a standard straight-
through Ethernet cable to connect to a hub or switch. When setting up
or testing the NPort IA, you might find it convenient to connect directly
to your computer’s Ethernet port. In this case, use a crossover Ethernet
cable.
STEP 2: Connect the NPort IA’s serial port to a serial device.
STEP 3: The NPort IA is designed to be attached to a DIN rail or
mounted on a wall. The two sliders on the NPort IA’s rear panel serve a
dual purpose. For wall mounting, both sliders should be extended. For
DIN-rail mounting, start with one slider pushed in, and the other slider
extended. After attaching the NPort IA on the DIN rail, push the
extended slider in to lock the device server to the rail. The two
placement options are illustrated in the accompanying figures.
STEP 4: Connect the 12 to 48 VDC power line with the NPort IA’s
terminal block or connect the DIN-rail power supply with the NPort IA’s
terminal block.

Wall or Cabinet Mounting
Mounting the NPort IA5000 Series on to a wall
requires two screws. The heads of the screws
should be 5 to 7 mm in diameter, the shafts should
be 3 to 4 mm in diameter, and the length of the
screws should be more than 10.5 mm.

NOTE
Wall mounting is certified for use in maritime applications.
Software Installation Information
For the NPort’s configuration, the default IP address of the NPort is:
LAN: Static; IP = 192.168.127.254; netmask = 255.255.255.0.
NOTE
If you have forgotten the NPort's IP address, use the Device
Search Utility (DSU) from your PC to locate the NPort. After
searching the LAN for NPort units, the DSU will display the IP
address of each unit.
You may log in with the password moxa to change any setting to meet
your network topology (e.g., IP address) or serial device (e.g., serial
parameters). For first-time use, click the Wizard in the left navigation
panel. The wizard will prompt you to configure the IP address, SSID,
and security mode. For other settings, use the factory defaults or
modify the settings for your application.
For software installation, download the relative utilities from Moxa's
website:

•Download the NPort Windows Driver Manager and install it as the
driver to run with Real COM mode of the NPort Series.
•Execute NPort Windows Driver Manager; then map the virtual COM
ports on your Windows platform.
•You may refer to the DB9 Male Ports pin assignment section to loop
back pin 2 and pin 3 for the RS-232 interface to carry out a self test
on the device.
•Use HyperTerminal or a similar program (you may download Moxa's
program, called PComm Lite) to test whether the device is working.

Note: When connecting a single-

using an attenuator to prevent damage caused by excessive optical
power.
Note: Compute the “typical distance” of a specific fiber transceiver as
follows: Link budget (dB) > dispersion penalty (dB) + total link loss
(dB).
