4. Hardware Installation Procedure
STEP 1: After removing NPort IA from the box, the first thing you
should do is connect the power adaptor. Connect the 12-48
VDC power line with NPort IA's terminal block, or connect
the DIN-Rail power supply with NPort IA's terminal block.
STEP 2: Connect NPort IA to a network. Use a standard
straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a Hub or
Switch. When setting up or testing NPort IA, 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 IA's serial port to a serial device.
STEP 4: NPort IA is designed to be attached to a DIN-Rail or
mounted on a wall. The two sliders on NPort IA's rear panel
serve a dual purpose. For wall mounting, both sliders should
be extended. For DIN-Rail mounting, start with one slider
pushed in, and the other slider extended. After placing the
NPort IA on the DIN-Rail, push the extended slider in to
lock the device server to the rail. The two placement options
are illustrated in the accompanying figures.
