Hardware Introduction
As shown in the following figures, NPort P5150A series device
servers have one male DB9 port for transmitting RS-232/422/485
serial data.
Reset Button—Press and hold the Reset button for 5 seconds to
load factory defaults: Use a pointed object, such as a straightened
paper clip or toothpick, to depress the reset button. This will cause
the Ready LED to blink on and off. Once the Ready LED stops
blinking (after about 5 seconds), release the reset button and the
device server will start to load the factory defaults.

and you will find DIP switches to adjust
each serial
port’s pull-high, pull-low,
and terminator.
Do not use the 1 KΩ
setting with RS
-232 mode, as
doing so
will degrade the RS
-232 signals and
shorten the communication
s range.
