Hardware Introduction
As shown in the following figures, NPort 5100 series device servers
have one male DB9 port for transmitting RS-232 (NPort 5110),
RS-422/485 (NPort 5130), or RS-232/422/485 (NPort 5150) serial
data.
NOTE The NPort 5110, NPort 5130, and NPort 5150 have the
same form factor.
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 5100's top panel has three LED indicators,
which are described in the following table.
LED LED LED Function
Name Color
Ready Red Steady on: Power is on and NPort is
booting up.
Blinking: Indicates an IP conflict, or
DHCP or BOOTP server is not responding
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.
Link Orange 10 Mbps Ethernet connection.
Green 100 Mbps Ethernet connection.
Off Ethernet cable is disconnected, or has a
short.
Tx/Rx Orange Serial port is receiving data.
Green Serial port is transmitting data.
Off No data is being transmitted or received
through the serial port.
Adjustable pull high/low resistor for RS-422/485
(150 KΩ or 1 KΩ)
Jumpers are used to set the pull
high/low resistor values. The default is
150 KΩ. Short the jumpers to set this
value to 1 KΩ. Do not use the KΩ
setting with RS-232 mode, since doing
so will degrade the RS-232 signals and
shorten the communication distance.
