factory defaults: Use a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip or
toothpick, to press the reset button. This will cause the Ready LED to
blink on and off. The factory defaults will be loaded once the Ready LED
stops blinking (after about 5 seconds). At this point, you should release
the reset button.

Color
Function
Red
Power is being supplied to the power input.
Steady on:
NPort is booting up.
Blinking:
IP conflict, DHCP or BOOTP
Red
server problem, or relay output
problem.
Steady on:
Power is on and the NPort 6450
is functioning normally.
Green
Blinking:
NPort is responding to Locate
function.
Off
Power is off, or power error condition exists.
Orange 10 Mbps Ethernet connection.
Green
100 Mbps Ethernet connection.
Off
Ethernet cable is disconnected, or has a short.
Orange Serial port is receiving data.
Green
Serial port is transmitting data.
Off
Serial port is idle.
Steady on:
Ethernet port is idle.
Orange Blinking:
Fiber port is transmitting or
receiving data.
Red
The relay output (DOUT) is open (exception).
The relay output (DOUT) is shorted (normal
Off
condition).
Green

Green
GSM connection
Orange GPRS connection
The signal quality is indicated by the number of
Green
LEDs that are lit; 4 LEDs indicates maximum
signal strength.
Jumpers are used to set the pull
high/low resistors. The default is
150 KΩ. Short the jumpers to set
this value to 1 KΩ. Do not use the
JP8, JP9 for Port 1
JP10, JP11 for Port 2
KΩ setting with RS-232 mode,
JP12, JP13 for Port 3
JP14, JP15 for Port 4
since doing so will degrade the
RS-232 signals and shorten the
communication distance.
