Reset Button
The reset button is used to load the factory defaults. Use a pointed object to
hold the reset button down for five seconds. You may release the reset button
when the Ready LED stops blinking.
LED Indicators
The LED indicators on the top panel are used to display status as follows:
| Name | Color | Function |
|---|---|---|
| PWR | Red | Power is on. |
| Off | Power is off. | |
| Ready | Green | Steady: NPort is operational |
Blinking: NPort is responding to NPort
Administrator “Locate” function
Off| Power is off or fault condition exists.
Fault| Red| IP conflict or DHCP or BOOTP server did not respond properly.
Off| No fault condition detected.
ETH1| Green| Steady: Network is connected, no data is
being transmitted.
Blinking: Network is connected, data is
being transmitted.
Off| Ethernet cable is disconnected or has a short.
ETH2| Green| Steady: Network is connected, no data is
being transmitted.
Blinking: Network is connected, data is
being transmitted.
Off| Ethernet cable is disconnected or has a short.
InUse
(P1 to P8)| Green| Serial port has been opened by server side software.
Off| Serial port is not currently opened by server side software.
Tx/Rx
(P1 to P8)| Green (Tx)| Serial device is transmitting data.
Orange (Rx)| Serial device is receiving data.
Off| No data is flowing to or from the serial port.
Hardware Installation
STEP 1: After removing the NPort 5600-8-DT from the box, place it on a desktop
or other horizontal surface. Connect the 12-48 VDC power adaptor to the NPort
5600-8-DT’s power input when using an AC power source, or connect the NPort
5600-8-DT’s terminal block directly to a DC power source.
STEP 2: Use an Ethernet cable to connect the NPort 5600-8-DT to a network hub
or switch. You can also connect directly to your computer’s Ethernet port,
which is convenient for initial configuration or testing.
STEP 3: Connect the NPort 5600-8-DT’s serial port to a serial device.
Wall or Cabinet Mounting
The NPort 5600-8-DT comes with two metal attachment plates to allow
installation on a wall or the inside of a cabinet. First, attach the brackets
to the back of the NPort with screws. Next, mount the unit on a wall or
cabinet with screws.
Screws should be less than 6.0 mm in head diameter, and less than 3.5 mm in
shaft diameter. 
DIN Rail Mounting
DIN-rail attachments can be purchased separately to attach the product to a
DIN-rail. The DIN-rail attachments should be oriented with the metal springs
on top.
Pull High/Low Resistors for RS-485
Use the set of DIP switches on the bottom panel to set the pull high/low
resistor values for each serial port. To access the switches, remove the
screws holding the DIP switch cover in place and flip open the cover.
There are three DIP switches for each port’s pull high/low resistors:
Default
| SW | 1 | 2 | 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pull High | Pull Low | Terminator | |
| ON | 1KΩ | 1KΩ | 120Ω |
| OFF | 150K52 | 150K52 | – |
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 username admin and password moxa to change any
settings to meet your network topology (e.g., IP address)
or serial device (e.g., serial parameters). If you would like to apply Real
COM mode to your application, you will need to install the NPort’s driver on
your desktop. You may also refer to Moxa’s support website
https://www.moxa.com/support/ for user’s manual, driver, Device Search
Utility, and so on.
NOTE For security-related configuration, please refer to the manual’s
Cybersecurity Considerations chapter.
NOTE For the NPort with DB Male serial ports, you may refer to the DB9
Male Ports pin assignment section to loop back pin 2 and pin 3 for the RS-232
interface to carry out a self test on the device.
