Hardware Introduction
The NPort 5200 device servers are used to control RS-232/422/485
devices. The NPort 5210/5210-T has two 8-pin RJ45 ports, both for the
RS-232 interface. The NPort 5230/5230-T has one 10-pin terminal block,
with 5 pins used for one RS-232 port, and 5 pins used for one RS-422/485
port. The NPort 5232/5232I/5232-T/5232I-T have one 10-pin terminal
block, with 5 pins used for one RS-422/485 port, and 5 pins used for
another RS-422/485 port.

Hardware Installation Procedure
In addition to placing the
NPort 5200 on a desktop or
other horizontal surface,
you may also make use of
the DIN
options, as illustrated here.
STEP 1: After removing the NPort 5200 from the box, the first thing you
should do is connect the power adapter. Connect the 12-30 VDC power
line with the NPort 5200’s terminal block, or connect the DIN-rail power
supply with the NPort 5200’s terminal block.
STEP 2: Connect the NPort 5200 to a network. Use a standard
straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a hub or switch. When
setting up or testing the NPort 5200, you might find it convenient to
connect directly to your computer’s Ethernet port. In thi s case, use a
cross-over Ethernet cable.
STEP 3: Connect the NP ort 5200’s serial port to a serial device.
STEP 4: Placement Options
-rail or wall mount
