Hardware Introduction
NOTE
The wide temperature model does not come with LCM display panels or push
buttons. All of the LCM descriptions below apply only to standard temperature
models.
The front and rear panels are shown below:
Front panel of the NPort 5600 Series
Rear panel of the NPort 5610/5630/5650 (AC Power)
Rear panel of the NPort 5650 (Fiber Model)
Rear panel of the NPort 5610 (DC Power)
Front panel of the NPort 5650-T Series
Reset Button— press the Reset button continuously for 5 seconds to load
factory defaults: Use a pointed object to press the reset button.
Release the button after the Ready LED stops blinking.
LED Indicators on the Front Panel— the front panels of the NPort 5600
have several LED indicators, as described in the following table.
| Name | Color | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Ready | Off | Power is off, or power error condition exists. |
| Red | Steady on: Power is on and the NPort is booting up. |
Blinking: Indicates an 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 NPort has been located by NPort Administrator’s Location
function.
1 to 16| Orange| Serial port is receiving data.
Green| Serial port is transmitting data.
Off| No data is being transmitted or received through the serial port.
LCM Display Panel— If the NPort is working properly, the LCM panel will display a green color. The red Ready LED will also light up, indicating that the NPort is receiving power. After the red Ready LED turns green, you will see a display similar to:
N| P| 5| 6| 1| 0| –| 1| 6| |
3| 8| | | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
1| 9| 2| .| 1| 6| 8| .| 1|
2| 7| .| 2| 5| 4|
This is where:
- NP5610-16 is the NPort’s name
- 38 is the NPort’s local sequence number
- 192.168.127.254 is the NPort’s IP address
LCM Panel Operation—There are four buttons on the NPort 5600’s front panel.
These buttons are used to operate the server’s LCM panel.
Going from left to right, the buttons are:
| Button | Action |
|---|---|
| MENU | Activates the main menu, or returns to a lower level. |
| ︿ | Scrolls up through a list of items shown on the LCM panel’s second line. |
| ﹀ | Scrolls down through a list of items shown on the LCM panel’s second line. |
| SEL | Selects the option listed on the LCM panel’s second line. |
Detailed LCM Panel Operating instructions can be found in the NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual.
Link Indicator on the rear panel of the NPort 5650 fiber model— the rear panels of the NPort 5650 have a link indicator, as described in the following table.
| LED Name | LED Color | LED Function |
|---|---|---|
| Link | Off | Fiber disconnected. |
| Green | Fiber connected, data not transmitting. | |
| Blinking | Fiber connected, data is transmitting. |
Hardware Installation
STEP 1: After removing the NPort 5600 from the box, the first thing you
should do is attach the power adapter.
STEP 2: Connecting the Power.
AC: Connect the NPort 5600’s 100-240 VAC power cord to the AC connector.
The “Ready” LED will show a solid red color until the system is ready, at
which time it will change to a green color.
DC: Connect the NPort 5600 VDC’s power cord to the DC connector, and then
follow the steps given below:
Take NPort 5610-8-48V as an example. Loosen the screws on the V+ and V-
terminals of the NPort 5610-8-48V’s terminal block. Connect the power cord’s
48 VDC or -48 VDC wire to the terminal block’s V+ terminal, and the power
cord’s DC Power Ground wire to the terminal block’s V- terminal, and then
tighten the terminal block screws. (Note: The NPort 5610-8-48V can still
operate even if the 48V/48V and DC Power Ground are reversed.)
The “Ready” LED will show a solid red color until the system is ready, at
which time it will change to a green color.
Grounding the NPort 5600 VDC:
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground
screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices. The Shielded
Ground (sometimes called Protected Ground) contact is the second contact from
the right of the 5-pin power terminal block connector located on the rear
panel of the NPort 5610-8-48V. Connect the SG wire to the Earth ground.
STEP 3: Connect the NPort 5600 to a network. Use a standard
straightthrough Ethernet cable to connect to a hub or switch. When setting up
or testing the NPort 5600, you might find it convenient to connect directly to
your computer’s Ethernet port. In this case, use a cross-over Ethernet cable.
STEP 4: Connect the NPort 5600’s serial port to a serial device.
Placement Options: You can place the NPort 5600 on a desktop or other
horizontal surface.
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
NOTE
If you have forgotten the NPort’s IP address, use the Device Search Utility
(DSU) from your PC to locate the NPort. After searching the LAN for NPort
units, the DSU will display the IP address of each unit.
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). For first-time use, click the Wizard in the left navigation
panel. The wizard will prompt you to configure the IP address, SSID, and
security mode. For other settings, use the factory defaults or modify the
settings for your application.
For software installation, download the relative utilities from Moxa’s
website: https://www.moxa.com/support/support_home.aspx?isSearchShow=1
- Download the NPort Windows Driver Manager and install it as the driver to run with Real COM mode of the NPort Series.
- Execute NPort Windows Driver Manager; then map the virtual COM ports on your Windows platform.
- You may refer to the pin assignment section to loop back pin 4 and pin 5 for the RS-232 interface to carry out a self test on the device.
- Use HyperTerminal or a similar program (you may download Moxa’s program, called PComm Lite) to test whether the device is good or not.
