Hardware Installation Procedure

STEP 1: After removing the NPort IA5000A series from the box,
the first thing you should do is connect the power adaptor. Connect
the 12-48 VDC power line with the NPort IA5000A series' terminal
block, or connect the DIN-Rail power supply with the NPort
IA5000A series' terminal block.
STEP 2: Connect the NPort IA5000A series to a network. Use a
standard straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a Hub or
Switch. When setting up or testing the NPort IA5000A series, 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 the NPort IA5000A series' serial port to a serial
device.
STEP 4: The NPort IA5000A series is designed to be attached to a
DIN-Rail or mounted on a wall. For DIN-Rail mounting, push down
the spring and properly attach it to the DIN-Rail until it "snaps"
into place. For wall mounting, install the wall mount kit (optional)
first, and then screw the device onto the wall. The following figure
illustrates the two mounting options:
