NPort 5200 Series

Connecting to the Network

Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the NPort 5200's 10/100M Ethernet port and the other end of the
cable to the Ethernet network. If the cable is properly connected, the NPort 5200 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.

Connecting to a Serial Device

Connect the serial data cable between the NPort 5200 and the serial device. Serial data cables are optional
accessories for NPort 5210. Refer to Chapter 1 under Optional Accessories for information about the
RJ45-to-DB25 and RJ45-to-DB9 cables.
