Overview

Your NPort 56 00-8-DT/DTL device server provides instant Ethernet ne two rk access to ind ustria l d ev ic e s through a serial connection. Devices such as PLCs, meters, and sensors can use the device server to connect to an IP-based Ethernet LAN, making the devi c e s access i b le from anywhere over a local LAN or the Internet. The device server’s space-saving design makes it ideal for many applications:
• Central monitoring and control of card readers , a larms , and electronic gate security systems in campus dormitories
• Dial-up access to private company servers
• Management of server farm devices (routers, hubs , switc hes) thr ough serial console ports
• Network access to medical diagnostic equipme nt
The device server provides different operation modes, such as TCP Server mode or UDP mode, to ensure compatibility with software us ing sta nd ard netw ork APIs (Winsock or BSD Sockets). Real COM and Real TTY drivers are included to allow easy, transparent operation using virtual COM/TTY ports over a TCP/IP network. The drivers help preserve your software investme nt by providing ins tant ne tw or k ac c ess with minimum disruption to existing systems.
Configuration can be done manually or using automatic IP protocols (DHCP or BOOTP) through the web console. NPort Administrator, a Windows utility , is provided for straightforward installation as well as storage and retrieval of all system parameters.

Product Features

The devic e serve r includes the following features:
• Compact desktop size
• Eight ports supporting RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 operation
• Socket operation modes including TC P Server mode , TCP Client mode, and UDP mode
• 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port(s) with auto-speed detection
• Multiple device ports with indepe nd e nt sele c tion of serial interface
• Built-in 15 KV ESD protection for all serial signals
• Supports SNMP MIB-II for network management
• Changeable voice alarm for exceptions (this fe ature is only available for HW Rev. 1.2 and earlier of the NPort 5600-8-DT)

Before You Begin

This chapter will walk you through the major steps of a typical installation and will offer advice on adjustments and options for specific applications. Please note that certain procedures will vary for your specific application and environment.
In these instructions, a Windows PC is used for configuration. For Linux or UNIX environments, please refer to Chapter 11.
Installation of the NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL is presente d in the fo llowing steps:
Step 1: Connect power, network and serial devices Step 2: Configure the device server’s IP settings Step 3: Configure each port’s operation mode Step 4: Configure each port’s serial communication settings Step 5: Map host COM ports to device ports (for Real COM mode)
Required Items
Make sure that you have the following items before beginning your installation:
• NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL device server
• Windows PC with live connection to the network (see Chap ter 11 for Linux /U NI X install ations)
• NPort Documentation & Software CD
• Ethernet cable
• Serial cable for device attachment
• Power adapter and power cord
• Make sure that you have the following information available before beginning your installation:
• IP address of your Windows PC
• IP address and subnet to be assigned to the device server
• TCP or UDP port number to be used for each device port
• Local COM port number to be used for each device port (for Real COM mode)
• Baudrate, parity, data bit, and stop bit settings for each device port
Wiring Guidelines
The following guidelines will help ens ure trouble-free signal communication with th e device ser ver.
• Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices to avoid inte rf er e nc e . Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. The r ul e of thumb is that wir ing that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
• If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
• Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
• Label all wiring to each device in the system for easier testi ng and tr oubleshooting

• Ethernet cable
• Serial cable with RJ45 or DB9 connector (depending on model)
• Serial device
Connect to Network
After placing the device server in its location, plug one end of the network cable into one of the device server’s Ethernet ports. Plug the other end of the cable to the network. Ther e are two Ether ne t ports on the NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL so you can easily daisy-chain multiple units together (the NPort 5600-8-DTL has one Ethernet port only).
Attach Serial Device
Use the serial cable to connect your serial device to a device port on the NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL. Make sure that you are familiar with your device’s serial communication settings (e.g., baudrate, stop bit, etc.). You will need to know these parameters when configuring the device server and drivers.
Adjustable Pull High/Low Resistors for RS-485
Termination resistors may be needed when connecting RS-485 devices to your NPort, in order to prevent the reflection of serial signals. The device port’s pull high/low resistors must then be set correctly t o prevent signal corruption.
NPort 5600-8-DT: Use the DIP switches on the bottom panel to configure each device port’s pull high/low resistors. You will need to unscrew the DIP switch cover to access the DIP switc he s .

have a
Static IP Addresses
For most applications, you will assign a fixed IP address to the device server. To assign a static (fixed) IP address, the “IP Configuration” parameter must be set to “Static”, which is the default setting. You may then modify the “IP Address” and “Netmask” parameters.
Dynamic IP Addresses
For certain network environments, your device server’s IP address will be assigned by a DHCP or BOOTP se rver. In this case, instead of assigning the device server’s IP address, you will need to configure the device server to receive its IP address from the appropriate server. Set the “IP Configuration” parameter to “DHCP”, “BOOTP”,
