NPort 6600 Series
Quick Installation Guide
Fifth Edition, March 2011
1. Overview
The NPort 6600 series of serial device servers includes 8-port,
16-port, and 32-port models for connecting larger numbers of
serial devices to Ethernet. Some applications now also require
better security when transmitting data through a network. The
NPort 6600 series of device servers use DES, 3DES, and AES data
encryption to provide secure network communication.

3. Hardware Introduction
Demonstrated 8 port model to be an example.
Reset button
Press the Reset button continuously for 5 sec to load factory
defaults
: Use a pointed object to press the reset button. Release
the button after the Ready LED stops blinking.
Adjustable pull high/low resistor for RS-485 (150 KΩ or 1
KΩ)
The NPort 6650 has 3 DIP Switches associated with each serial port
for configuring the pull high/low resistors for RS-485 applications.
The switches are located in a recess on the bottom of the NPort
6650. To access the switches, first remove the panel covering the
recess.
