Windows hosts to multiple asynchronous RS-232 (models DE-301/302/304) or RS-422/485 (models DE-331/332/334) serial ports through a TCP/IP network. Each model has one (DE-301/331), two (DE-302/332), or four (DE-304/334) asynchronous serial port connections on one side, and one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection on the other, allowing any device that supports the asynchronous communications protocol to attach to a network.

Wall or Cabinet The two metal brackets included with NPort Server Lite can be used to attach the server to a wall, or the inside of a cabinet. Using three screws per bracket, first attach the brackets to the bottom of the server (Fig. 2-1a). Next, use two screws per bracket to attach the server to a wall or cabinet (Fig.
DIN Rail NPort Server Lite can also be mounted on a standard 35-mm DIN Rail. First, use two screws to attach each of the two DIN Rail brackets to the metal attachment plates (Figs. 2-2a, b). Figure 2-2a. DIN Rail Mounting Brackets—Inner Placement Figure 2-2b.

The next step is to attach NPort Server Lite to the Din Rail. STEP 1: Insert the top of the DIN Rail STEP 2: Push the bottom of NPort into slot A of the DIN Rail Server Lite so that the bottom mount.
Serial Connection The model of NPort Server Lite that you purchased has either one (models DE-301/331), two (models DE-302/332), or four (models DE-304/334) male DB9 serial ports on the front panel. Depending on your serial device and serial interfaces, there are two connection options: For an RS-232 port, you may use a DB9 to DB9 cable to connect your serial device to NPort Server Lite.
3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 Using the Built-In LCD Panel to Configure NPort Server Lite In this chapter, we explain how to use the four buttons on NPort Server Lite’s top panel to operate the LCD display. Basic Operation If the server is working properly, the LCD panel will display a yellow color for a few seconds, after which it turns green.

The buttons are manipulated in a manner similar to the way a modern cellular phone operates. As you move through the various functions and setting options, note that the top line shows the current menu or submenu name, and the bottom line shows the submenu name or menu item which is activated by pressing the button.

The part of the LCD operation that still requires some explanation is how to edit the configurable options. In fact, you will only encounter two types of configurable options. The first type involves entering numbers, such as IP addresses, Netmasks, etc. In this case, you change the number one digit at a time.

To prevent this problem, be sure to set a password while installing NPort Server Lite in Single Host mode. If a password is set, then only someone who knows the password will be able to reinstall the NPort Server Lite driver (either from the original or a different host).

Why does NPort Server Lite Manager indicate an “Unauthorized” status for some of the NPort Server Lite device server’s ports? This means that NPort Server Lite’s Access Control list does not associate your host’s IP address with those ports. This situation can come about in one of two ways: Your Windows machine is just one of the hosts sharing the ports on the selected device server, and you did not input the device server’s...

Double click on the server icon that has the question mark (?) on top. This will cause NPort Server Lite Manager to reconnect with the server. If the server is at a remote site: Make sure the network connection to the remote site is okay. If no route can be established to the remote device server, and you are connecting through the Internet, you may need to wait until the route is reestablished.
Programming Problems Why do the Win32 COMM API functions return fail, or the PComm Pro library functions return the fail code “SIO_WIN32 FAIL”? The fail code for the COMM API functions implies something different than the fail code received from the standard COM driver. For example, you get the fail code when the network connected to the device server is unreachable, or the device server is offline.
