3. Hardware Introduction
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
Name Color Function
PWR Red Power is being supplied to the power input.
Ready Red Steady on: NPort is booting up.
Blinking: IP conflict, DHCP or BOOTP
server problem, or relay output
problem.
Green Steady on: Power is on and the NPort 6450
is functioning normally.
– 2 –
Blinking: NPort is responding to Locate
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.
P1-P4 Orange Serial port is receiving data.
Green Serial port is transmitting data.
Off Serial port is idle.
FX Orange Steady on: Ethernet port is idle.
Blinking: Fiber port is transmitting or
receiving data.
Alarm Red The relay output (DOUT) is open
(exception).
Off The relay output (DOUT) is shorted (normal
condition).
Module Green A network module has been detected.
Off No network module is present.
GSM Green GSM connection
GPRS Orange GPRS connection
GPRS/GSM Green The signal quality is indicated by the number
Signal of LEDs that are lit; 4 LEDs indicates
Strength maximum signal strength.
Adjustable pull high/low resistor for RS-422/485
(150 KΩ or 1 KΩ)
Jumpers are used to set the pull
high/low resistors. 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.

4. Hardware Installation Procedure

STEP 1: Connect the 12-48 VDC power adaptor to the NPort 6450
and then plug the power adaptor into a DC outlet.
STEP 2: For first-time configuration, use a cross-over Ethernet
cable to connect the NPort 6450 directly to your computer's
Ethernet cable. For connecting to a network, use a standard
straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a hub or switch.
