The Reset to Default Button—Depress the Reset to default button for
5 continuous seconds to load the factory default settings: Use a pointed
object, such as a straightened paper clip or toothpick, to depress the
Reset to default button. This will cause the Ready LED to blink on and
off. The factory default settings are loaded once the Ready LED stops
blinking (after about 5 seconds). At this point, you can release the
Reset to default button.

4. Hardware Installation Procedure
STEP 1: After removing the NPort IA5450A 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 IA5450A
series' terminal block, or connect the DIN-Rail power supply
with the NPort IA5450A series' terminal block.
STEP 2: Connect the NPort IA5450A 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 IA5450A
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 IA5450A series' serial port to a serial
DIN-Rail
device.
STEP 4: The NPort IA5450A 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:
