NPort 5200A Series

Quick Installation Guide

First Edition, July 2010

1. Overview

NPort 5200A series device server s are compact, palm-sized data
communication devic es that allow you to control RS-23 2 (NPort 5210A),
RS-422/485 (NPort 5230A), and RS-232/422/485 (NPort 5250A) serial
devices over a TCP/ IP-based Ethernet.

Note: “-T” indicates an ext ended tempera ture model.

2. Package Checklist

Before installing the NPort 5200A series device ser ver, verify that the
package contains the following items:

 1 NPort 5200A serial device server

 4 stick-on pads

 Document & Softwar e CD

 Quick Installation Guide

 Product Warranty Statement

Optional Accessory

 DK-35A: DIN-Rail Mounting Kit (35 mm)

Notify your sales representative if any of the abov e items are missing or
damaged.

3. Hardware Introduction

As shown in the following figures, NPort 5200A series device servers
have two male DB9 ports for transmitting RS-232 (NPort 5210A), or
RS-232/422/485 (NPort 5250A) serial data and have two 5-pin termin al
block ports for transmitting RS-422/485 (NPort 5230A).

Reset Button—Press and hold the Reset button for 5 seconds to load
factory defaults: Us e a pointed object , such as a straigh tened paper clip or

toothpick, to depress the reset button. This will cause the Read y 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, release the reset
button.

LED Indicators—NPort 5200A’s top panel has four LED indicators,
which are described in the following table.

Adjustable pull high/low resistor and terminator for RS-422/485

Remove the NPort 5 230A/5250A’s top
cover and you will find DIP switches to
adjust each serial port’s pull

-high, pull-low,

and terminator.

Do not use the 1 KΩ set ting

with RS

-232 mode, as doing so will

degrade the R S-232 signals and shorten the
communication

s range.

4. Hardware Installation Information

STEP 1: After removing the NPort 5200A series device serv er from the

box, connect the NPort 5200A series device serv er to a network. U se a
standard straight-through Ethernet cable to conn ect to a hub or switch.
When setting up or testing the NPort 5200A series device server, you
might find it convenient to conn ect directly to your comput er’s Ethernet
port. In this case, use a cross-over Ethernet cable.

STEP 2: Connect the NPort 5200A series device server’s serial po rt to a
serial device.

STEP 3: Connect the power adaptor.

STEP 4: Placement options.

In addition to plac ing the NPort 5200A on a deskt op or other horizontal

surface, you may also make use of the DIN-Rail or Wall Mount options,
as illustrated below.

5. Software Installation Information

To install NPort Administration Suite, insert the NPort Document &

Software CD into your computer’s CD-RO M drive. Once the N Port
Installation CD window opens, click on the Software fol der, and then
