NOTE

Notify your sales representative if any of the above items is missing or damaged.

NOTE

The operating temperature of the power adapter (if applicable) in the box is from 0 to 40°C. If your application is out of this range, please use a power adapter supplied by UL Listed External Power Supply. (The power output meets SELV and LPS and is rated 12 to 48 VDC; the minimum current is 92.4 mA).

Hardware Introduction

As shown in the following figures, NPort 5410 has 4 Male DB9 ports, for the RS-232 interface, NPort 5430/5430I has 4 5-pin terminal blocks, for the RS-422/485 interface, and NPort 5450/5450I has 4 Male DB9 ports, for the RS-232/422/485 interface.

Reset Button —Press the Reset button continuously for 5 sec to load factory defaults: 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 5400’s top panel contains six LED indicators, as described in the following table.

LED Name	LED Color	LED Function
Ready	Red	Steady on: Power is on and 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 NPort is functioning normally.
Blinking: The NPort has been located by NPort
Administrator’s Location function
Off| Power is off, or power error condition exists.

Ethernet

| Orange| 10 Mbps Ethernet connection.
Green| 100 Mbps Ethernet connection.
Off| Ethernet cable is disconnected, or has a short.

P1, P2, P3, P4

| 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 (not support in -T model)—When the NPort 5400 unit is powered up, you will a see a display similar to:

N| P| 5| 4| 1| 0| _| 6| 1| 4| 0| 5| | | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
1| 9| 2| .| 1| 6| 8| .| 1| 2| 7| .| 2| 5| 4|

This is where NP5410_61405 is the server’s name, and 192.168.127.254 is the server’s IP address.

LCM Panel Operation (not support in -T model)

—There are four buttons on NPort 5400’s top panel 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 on the CD-ROM in the “NPort 5400 Series User’s Manual.”

Hardware Installation Procedure

STEP 1: After removing NPort 5400 from the box, the first thing you should do is attach the power adaptor.
STEP 2 : Connect NPort 5400 to a network. Use a standard straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a Hub or Switch. When setting up or testing NPort 5400, 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 NPort 5400’s serial port to a serial device.
STEP 4 : Placement Options

Wall or Cabinet Mounting

The NPort 5400 comes with two metal attachment plates for attaching the NPort 5400 to a wall or the inside of a cabinet. First, use two screws per bracket to attach the brackets to the rear of the NPort5400. Next, use two

screws per bracket to attach the NPort 5400 to a wall or cabinet.
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 by the figure at the right.

DIN-Rail Mounting

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.

Wall Mount DIN-Rail

Pull High/low Resistors Setting for the RS-485 Port

DIP switches on the bottom of NPort 5400 are used to set the pull high/low resistor values for each serial port.

Pull High/low Resistors for the RS-485 Port

Default à	SW	1	2
Pull High	Pull Low	Terminator
ON	1KΩ	1KΩ	120Ω
OFF	150KΩ	150KΩ	–

NOTE

The operating temperature of the power adapter in the box is from 0 to 40°C. If your application is out of this range, please use a power adapter supplied by UL Listed External Power Supply (The power output meets SELV and LPS and rated 12 – 48 VDC, minimum current 0.73 A). Moxa has power adapters with wide temperature range (-40 to 75°C, -40 to 167°F), the PWR-12150-(plug type)-SA-T series, for your reference.

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 default account and password (account: admin; 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 the Real COM mode to your application, you will need to install NPort’s driver on your desktop. You may also refer to Moxa support website https://www.moxa.com/support/ for the user’s manual, driver, the Device Search Utility (DSU), and more.

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.
