The Reset to Default Button—Press the reset button to default

button for five seconds continuously to load the factory default settings.

Use a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip or toothpick, to
press the reset button to default button. This will cause the Ready LED
to blink on and off. The factory default settings are loaded once the

Hardware Installation Procedure

Panel/Wall Mounting

Mounting the NPort 5000AI-M12 on the wall requires three screws.
Please use the three screws provided in the product package.

STEP 1: Use the device to mark the positions of the three screw holes
on the wall, as shown in the mounting dimensions diagram.

STEP 2: Use one screw to go through the top-middle screw hole on the
device server and screw it into the wall.

STEP 3: Screw in the remaining two screws through the bottom-left
and bottom-right holes on the device server to the wall.

NOTE

Please use the screws (M3 x 40 mm) included.

DIN-Rail Mounting (optional)

You may use the optional DIN-rail mounting kit (DK-TN-5308; must be
purchased separately) to mount the NPort 5000AI-M12 on a 35 mm
DIN rail.

STEP 1: Fix the DIN-rail attachment plate onto the rear panel of the
device server as shown in the figure below.

STEP 2: Position the NPort 5000AI-M12 on the DIN rail and tilt it to
hook the clamps over the top edge of the rail.

STEP 3: Swing the device server down onto the DIN rail until both
clamps latch on completely.

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 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 the 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 the user’s manual, driver, SNMP

MIB, and NPort Search Utility.

NOTE

For the NPort with DB Male serial ports, you may refer to the
DB9 Male Ports

pin assignment section to loop back pin 2 and

pin 3 for the RS-232 interface.
