Hardware Installation
STEP 1: After removing the NPort 5600-8-DT from the box, place it on a
desktop or other horizontal surface. Connect the 12-48 VDC power
adaptor to the NPort 5600-8-DT’s power input when using an AC power
source, or connect the NPort 5600-8-DT’s terminal block directly to a DC
power source.
STEP 2: Use an Ethernet cable to connect the NPort 5600-8-DT to a
network hub or switch. You can also connect directly to your computer’s
Ethernet port, which is convenient for in itial configuration or testing.
STEP 3: Connect the NPort 5600-8-DT’s serial port to a serial device.
Wall or Cabinet Mounting
The NPort 5600-8-DT comes with two metal attachment plates to allow
installation on a wall or the inside of a cabinet. First, attach the brackets
to the back of the NPort with screws. Next, mount the unit on a wall or
cabinet with screws.

Screws should be less than 6.0 mm in head diameter, and less than 3.5
For security-related configuration, please refer to the manual’s
Cybersecurity Considerations chapter.
mm in shaft diameter.
DIN Rail Mounting
DIN-rail attachments can be purchased separately to attach the product
to a DIN-rail. The DIN-rail attachments should be oriented with the metal
springs on top.
Pull High/Low Resistors for RS-485
Use the set of DIP switches on the bottom panel to set the pull high/low
resistor values for each serial port. To acce ss the switches, remove the
screws holding the DIP switch cover in place and flip open the cover.
There are three DIP switches for each port’s pull high/low resistors:

Software Installation Information
For the NPort’s configuration, the default IP address of the NPort is: LAN:
Static IP = 192.168.127.254; netmask = 255.255.255.0
You may log in with the username admin and password moxa to change
any settings to meet your network topology (e.g., IP address) or serial
device (e.g., serial parameters). If you would like to apply Real COM
mode to your application, you will need to install the NPort’s driver on
your desktop. You may also refer to Moxa’s support website
https://www.moxa.com/support/ for user’s manual, driver, Device
Search Utility, and so on.
