Chapter 4 Installation
This chapter explains how you can make Portbase to communicate. It deals with LAN and serial
connection guides for Portbase to operate together with the target serial device.
1. Installing Portbase
Follow the steps below to install Portbase. In most cases, Portbase’s factory default settings should be
sufficient for most serial connections; however, some of the configuration settings may have to be
changed for your particular installation. Portbase can be wall mounted, set on the desktop, or mounted
using the optional DIN rail kit.
1. Before attempting to install Portbase, make sure you have installed and set up your serial equipment as
described in the documentation that came with the device.
2. Write down the 12-digit MAC (Media Access Code) address printed on the label located on the bottom
of Portbase. You may need this number in order to configure Portbase.
3. Connect Portbase to your equipment using an RJ-45 serial connector.
4. Plug Portbase power supply adapter into a suitable AC receptacle, and then plug the power supply
cable into Portbase. Portbase will run through a sequence of power-up diagnostics for a few seconds.
If Portbase is operating properly, the RDY LED will blink constantly in a regular
pattern. PWR LED should also be on.
If the RDY LED does not blink continuously in a regular pattern, a problem exists. If
this is the case, try powering the unit OFF and then ON again. If the problem persists,
refer to the Troubleshooting section in this User Guide.
5. Connect Portbase to your network through a switch or hub using a category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.
Portbase’s IP address must be configured before a network connection is available. If your network
offers DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), Portbase will automatically search for a DHCP
server upon power up and obtain an IP address. If your network does not offer DHCP, a static
(fixed) IP address must be assigned (see your system administrator for assistance). In most cases, a
fixed IP address is preferred because a DHCP server may not always assign the same IP address to
Portbase when Portbase is powered ON.

Portbase User Guide
NOTE: The IP address must be within a valid range, unique to your network, and in the same subnet as your
PC.
2. Portbase Connection
Follow these steps to connect Portbase to the device and network.
Connection Guide
1) LAN
In order to connect Portbase to network, you need to use RJ45 Ethernet port. It supports both 10Mbps and
100Mbps Ethernet connection (auto-sensing). Plug one end of a LAN cable to Portbase and the other end
to a hub, switch, or any other network device that can provide you with network access.
* If you connect portbase to PC directly, you have to use cross LAN cable.
2) Serial
In order to connect external serial device and Portbase, RJ45 serial cable is required. For pin
specifications and further information, please refer to the Chapter 3. Hardware Descriptions.
First-Time Bootup
Portbase will power on and start booting process when DC adapter (5V) is connected. Operation status
can be monitored by LED displays. For more information on LED displays, please refer to the Chapter 3.
Hardware Descriptions.
An IP address is required to access Portbase's web interface or telnet command-line configuration tool.
By factory default, Portbase is assigned a static IP address. After the initial connection, you can either
manually assign a different IP address or set Portbase to automatically get an IP address from a DHCP
server.
The factory default IP address of Portbase : 192.168.1.71(10.10.1.1)

Portbase User Guide
Portbase’s default IP address is set to 10.10.1.1. In order to connect with this address, you need to change
network configurations so that your PC can connect to the IP 10.10.1.1. Please refer to an example below,
and note that values doesn’t necessarily have to be identical to the example below.
After modifying the IP address of Portbase, it may lead to difficulties if you do not remember the IP
address. To prevent such accidents, Portbase always remembers a factory default address 10.10.1.1
