Quick Installation Guide
Second Edition, November 2005
1. Overview
NPort IA device servers deliver easy and reliable serial-to-Ethernet
connectivity for the industrial automation market. The servers support
several operation modes—TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP, Real COM, Pair
Connection, and Ethernet Modem—ensuring the compatibility of network
software, and are an ideal choice for connecting RS-232/422/485 serial
devices, such as PLCs, sensors, meters, motors, drives, barcode readers,
and operator displays. NPort IA device servers come with a compact and
rugged DIN-Rail mountable casing.

3. Hardware Introduction
NPort IA device servers are used to control RS-232/422/485 devices for
industrial automation environments. Six of the models have 1
RS-232/422/485 serial port. NPort IA5150, NPort IA5150I, NPort
IA5150-M-SC, NPort IA5150I-M-SC, NPort IA5150-S-SC, and NPort
IA5150I-S-SC have 1 male DB9 port for the RS-232 interface, and a
5-pin terminal block for the RS-422/485 interface (only one port can be
used at a time). One model has 2 RS-232/422/485 serial ports. NPort
IA5250 has two male DB9 ports for all interfaces.

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.

4. Hardware Installation Procedure
STEP 1: After removing NPort IA from the box, the first thing you
should do is connect the power adaptor. Connect the 12-48 VDC power
line with NPort IA's terminal block, or connect the DIN-Rail power
supply with NPort IA's terminal block.
STEP 2: Connect NPort IA to a network. Use a standard straight-through
Ethernet cable to connect to a Hub or Switch. When setting up or testing
NPort IA, you might find it convenient to connect directly to your
computer's Ethernet port. In this case, use a cross-over Ethernet cable.
STEP 3: Connect NPort IA's serial port to a serial device.
STEP 4: NPort IA is designed to be attached to a DIN-Rail or mounted
on a wall. The two sliders on NPort IA's rear panel serve a dual purpose.
For wall mounting, both sliders should be extended. For DIN-Rail
mounting, start with one slider pushed in, and the other slider extended.
After placing the NPort IA on the DIN-Rail, push the extended slider in
to lock the device server to the rail. The two placement options are
illustrated in the accompanying figures.
