Reset Button—Hold the Reset button for 5 sec to load factory default
settings: 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.
LED Indicators—NPort S8455I-MM-SC’s front panel contains some
LED indicators, as described in the following table.

4. Hardware Installation Procedure
STEP 1: After removing the NPort S8455I-MM-SC from the box, the
first thing you should do is attach the power adaptor.
STEP 2: Connect the NPort S8455I-MM-SC to a network. Use a standard
straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a Hub or Switch. When
setting up or testing the NPort S8455I-MM-SC, you might find it
convenient to connect directly to your computer’s Ethernet port. In this
case, use a cross-over Ethernet cable.
STEP 3: Connect the NPort S8455I-MM-SC’s serial port to a serial
device.
STEP 4: Placement Options.
Wall Mounting (optional)
For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount the NPort
S8455I-MM-SC on the wall, as shown in the following figures.
STEP 1:
Remove the aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate from the NPort
S8455I-MM-SC’s rear panel, and then attach the wall mount plates with
M3 screws, as shown in the figures at the right.
⇒
STEP 2:
Mounting the NPort S8455I-MM-SC on a wall requires 4
screws. Use the NPort S8455I-MM-SC, with wall mount
plates attached, as a guide to mark the correct locations of
the 4 screws. The heads of the screws should be less than
6.0 mm in diameter, and the shafts should be less than 3.5
mm in diameter, as shown in the figure at the right.
6.0 mm
3.5 mm
NOTE Before tightening the screws into the wall, make sure the screw
head and shank size are suitable by inserting the screw into one
of the keyhole-shaped apertures of the Wall Mounting Plates.
Do not screw the screws in completely—leave about 2 mm to allow room
for sliding the wall mount panel between the wall and the screws.
STEP 3:
Once the screws are fixed to the wall, insert the four screw heads through
the large parts of the keyhole-shaped apertures, and then slide the NPort
S8455I-MM-SC downwards, as indicated. Tighten the four screws for
added stability.
DIN-Rail Mounting
DIN-Rail
DIN-rail attachments can be purchased
separately to attach the product to a DIN-rail.
When snapping the attachments to the
DIN-rail, make sure that the stiff metal springs
are at the top.

Wiring the Relay Contact
The NPort S8455I-MM-SC has two sets of relay outputs—relay 1 and
relay 2. Each relay contact consists of two contacts of the terminal block
on the NPort S8455I-MM-SC’s top panel. Refer to the next section for
detailed instructions on how to connect the wires to the terminal block
connector, and how to attach the terminal block connector to the terminal
block receptor. The meaning of the two contacts used to connect the relay
contacts is illustrated below.
The fault circuit will open if
1. A relay warning event is triggered, OR
2. The NPort S8455I-MM-SC is the Master of
this Turbo Ring, and the Turbo Ring is
broken, OR
3. Start-up fails.
If none of these three conditions is met, the fault
circuit will remain closed.
Wiring the Digital Inputs
The NPort S8455I-MM-SC unit has two sets of digital inputs, DI 1 and
DI 2. Each DI consists of two contacts of the 6-pin terminal block
connector on the NPort S8455I-MM-SC’s top panel. The remaining
contacts are used for the NPort S8455I-MM-SC’s two DC inputs. Top
and front views of one of the terminal block connectors are shown below.
Take the following steps to wire the digital inputs:
STEP 1: Insert the negative (ground) or positive DI
wires into the terminals.
STEP 2: To keep the DI wires from getting loose,
use a small flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the
wire-clamp screws on the front of the terminal
block connector.
STEP 3: Insert the plastic terminal block connector
prongs into the terminal block receptor, which is
located on the NPort 8455I-MM-SC’s top panel.
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs
The NPort S8455I-MM-SC unit has two sets of power inputs—power
input 1 and power input 2. The top two contacts and the bottom two
contacts of the 6-pin terminal block connector on the top panel are used
for the NPort S8455I-MM-SC’s two power inputs. Top and front views of
one of the terminal block connectors are shown below.
Take the following steps to wire the redundant power inputs:
STEP 1: Insert the negative/positive DC wires into the V-/V+ terminals.
STEP 2: To keep the DC wires from pulling loose, use a small flat-blade
screwdriver to tighten the wire-clamp screws on the front of the terminal
block connector.
STEP 3: Insert the plastic terminal block connector prongs into the
terminal block receptor, which is located on the NPort S8455I-MM-SC’s
top panel.
