Grounding NPort 5200 Series

Grounding and wire routing helps limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference
(EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to
connecting devices.
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface such as a metal
panel.

Connecting to the Network

Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to NPort 5200's 10/100M Ethernet port and the other end
of the cable to the Ethernet network. If the cable is properly connected, 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 NPort 5200 and the serial device. Serial data cables are
optional accessories for NPort 5210. Refer to Chapter 1 under Optional Accessories for
information on the RJ45-to-DB25 and RJ45-to-DB9 cables.
