communication devices that allow you to control RS-232/422/485 serial
devices over a TCP/IP-based Ethernet.
NOTE
“-T” indicates an extended temperature model.
Package Checklist
Before installing the NPort P5150A series of device server, verify that
the package contains the following items:
•1 NPort P5150A serial device server
•4 stick-on pads
•Document & Software CD
•Quick Installation Guide
•Product Warranty Statement
Optional Accessory
•DK-35A: DIN-Rail Mounting Kit (35 mm)
Notify your sales representative if any of the above items are missing
or damaged.
Hardware Introduction
As shown in the following figures, NPort P5150A series of 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.

Adjustable pull high/low resistor and terminator for RS-485
Remove the NPort P5150A’s top cover 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.

Hardware Installation Information
STEP 1: After removing the NPort P5150A device server from the box,
if you are not using a PoE switch, the first thing you should do is
connect the power adaptor.
STEP 2: Connect the NPort P5150A device server to a network. Use a
standard straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a PoE switch.
STEP 3: Connect the NPort P5150A device server’s serial port to a
serial device.
STEP 4: Placement options.
In addition to placing the NPort P5150A on a desktop or other
horizontal surface, you may also make use of the DIN-Rail or Wall
Mount options, as illustrated below.

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
You may log in with the password moxa to change any settings to
meet your network topology (e.g., IP address) or serial device (e.g.,
serial parameters). NPort Administration Suite consists of useful
utility programs that are used to configure and manage your NPort. To
install NPort Administration Suite, please download the utility from
Moxa’s support website: https://www.moxa.com/support. To view
