Configuration by Serial Console

Serial Console (19200, n, 8, 1)

You may use the RS-232 console port to configure your NPort's IP address. We suggest using PComm
Terminal Emulator, which is available free of charge as part of the PComm Lite program suite, to carry out
the installation procedure, although other similar utilities may also be used.
ATTENTION
The serial console port is an RS-232 port.
Before you configure the NPort device server over the serial console, turn off the power and connect the
serial cable from the NPort to your computer's serial port.
1. Connect the NPort's serial port 1 directly to your computer's male RS-232 serial port. From the
Windows desktop click Start > Programs > PComm Lite > Terminal Emulator.
When the PComm Terminal Emulator window opens, first click on the Port Manager menu item and
2.
select Open, or simply click on the Open icon.
The Property window opens automatically. From the Communication Parameter page, select the
3.
appropriate COM port for the connection, COM1 in this example, and 19200 for Baud Rate, 8 for Data
Bits, None for Parity, and 1 for Stop Bits.
4. From the Property window's Terminal page, select ANSI or VT100 for Terminal Type and then click
OK.
