Connecting To The Network; Connecting To A Serial Device; Led Indicators - Moxa Technologies NPort 5000 Series User Manual

Connecting to the Network

Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the NPort's 10/100M Ethernet port and the other end of the cable
to the Ethernet network. The NPort device server will indicate a valid connection to the Ethernet in the
following ways:
• The Ethernet LED maintains a solid green color when connected to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network.
The Ethernet LED maintains a solid orange color when connected to a 10 Mbps Ethernet network.
•
The Ethernet LED will flash when Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received.
•
ATTENTION
NPort IA5000/IA5000A/5600-8-DT series NPorts have two Ethernet ports that can be used to create an
open chain of NPort IA5000/IA5000A/5600-8-DT device servers. Be careful not to connect the Ethernet
ports of the two device servers at the ends of the chain.
In other words, NPort IA5000/IA5000A/5600-8-DT series NPorts do NOT support closed chains.

Connecting to a Serial Device

Connect a serial data cable between the NPort and the serial device. Serial data cables must be purchased
separately. They are not provided with the NPort.
