Hardware Introduction
The NPort 5110, NPort 5130, and NPort 5150 have the same form
factor.
As shown in the following figures, NPort 5100 series dev ice serv ers have
one male DB9 port for transmitting RS-232 (NPort 5110), RS-422/485
(NPort 5130), or RS-232/422/485 (NPort 5150) serial data.
Reset Button—Press the Reset button continuously for 5 sec to load
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 R eady LED
stops blinking (after about 5 seconds). At this point, you should release
the reset button.

Hardware Installation Information
STEP 1: After remov ing the NPort 5100 series device server from the box ,
connect the NPort 5100 series device server to a network. Use a standard
straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a hub or switch. When
setting up or testing the NPort 5100 series dev ice server, you m ight find
it convenient to connect directly to your computer’s Ethernet port. In this
case, use a cross-over Ethernet ca ble.
STEP 2: Connect the NPort 5100 series device server’s serial port to a
serial device.
STEP 3: Connect the power adaptor.
