Hardware Introduction
The NPort S8458 series integrates 4 fiber ports, 4 Ethernet ports,
and 4 male DB9 ports for the RS-232/422/485 serial port.
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—The NPort S8458’s front panel contains some
LED indicators, as described in the following table.
Type Color Meaning
PW 1 Green Power 1 input
PW 2 Green Power 2 input
Ready Red Steady On: Power is on and the NPort is
booting up.
Blinking: Indicates
an LAN IP conflict, or
DHCP or BOOTP server did not respond
properly.
Green Steady On: Power is on and the NPort is
functioning normally.
Blinking: The device server has been
located by the Administrator’s location
function.

exists.
Master Green When the NPort is the Master of this
Turbo Ring.
Blinking When the NPort is the Ring Master of
this Turbo Ring and the Turbo Ring is
disconnected.
Coupler Green When the NPort enables the coupling
function to form a backup path
Serial Port TX Green The serial port is transmitting data.
Serial Port RX Yellow The serial port is receiving data.
Link (FX) Green The FX port’s 100 Mbps is active
Blinking Data is being transmitted/received at
100 Mbps
Link Green The 100 Mbps Ethernet connection is
active.
Yellow The 10 Mbps Ethernet connection is
active.
Hardware Installation Procedure
STEP 1: After removing the NPort S8458 from the box, first attach
the power adaptor.
STEP 2: Connect the NPort S8458 to a network. Use a standard
straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a hub or switch.
When setting up or testing the NPort S8458, 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 S8458’s serial port to a serial device.
STEP 4: Mount the NPort S8458 to either a wall or DIN-Rail, as
described below.
Wall Mounting (optional)
In high vibration environments, we suggest using the NPort
S8458’s wall mount kit to fix. The installation procedure iss
described below.
STEP 1: Remove the aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate from
the NPort S8458’s rear panel, and then attach the wall mount
plates with M3 screws.
STEP 2: Four screws are required.
Use the NPort
S8458, 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.
NOTE
Before tightening the screws into the wall, make sure the
screw head and shank size are suitable by inserting
one of
the screws 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 S8458 downwards, as
indicated. Tighten the four screws for added stability.
DIN-Rail Mounting (optional)
DIN-R
ail attachments can be purchased separately
to attach the product to a DIN-R
ail. 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 S8458 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 S8458’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 S8458 is the
Master of this Turbo
Ring, and the Turbo Ring is disconnected, 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 S8458 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 S8458’s top panel. The remaining contacts
are used for the NPort S8458’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:
1. Insert the negative (gro
und) or positive DI
wires into the terminals.
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.
3.
Insert the plastic terminal block connector
prongs into the terminal block receptor,
which is located on the NPort 8458’s top
panel.
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs
The NPort S8458 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 S8458’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:
1. Insert the negative/positive DC wires into the V-/V+ terminals.
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.
3. Insert the plastic terminal block connector prongs into the
terminal block receptor, which is located on the NPort S8458’s
top panel.
