LED Function
Red Power is being supplied to the power input.
Steady on: Power is on and the NPort
6250 is booting up.
Blinking: Indicates an IP conflict, or, the
DHCP or BOOTP server did
not respond properly or a relay
output occurred. Check the
Red
relay output first. If after
resolving the relay output the
RDY LED is still blinking,
then there is an IP conflict, or
the DHCP or BOOTP server
did not respond properly.
Steady on:
Power is on and the NPort
6250 is functioning normally.

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.
