Connecting To The Network; Connecting To A Serial Device - Moxa Technologies NPort IA 5250 series User Manual

NPort IA5150/5250 Series User's Manual

Connecting to the Network

Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to NPort IA5150/5250's 10/100M Ethernet port and the
other end of the cable to the Ethernet network. If the cable is properly connected, NPort
IA5150/5250 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.
NOTE NPort IA5150 and NPort IA5250 each have 2 Ethernet ports, which can be used to create an
open chain of NPort IA device servers. You must be careful not to connect the Ethernet ports of
the two device servers at the ends of the chain. In other words, NPort IA does NOT support a
closed chain.

Connecting to a Serial Device

Connect the serial data cable between NPort IA5150/5250 and the serial device. Serial data cables
are optional accessories for NPort.
