1. Introduction

The NPort 6000 series of secure serial device servers have many exc eptional features. There are currently seventeen models in the NPort 6000 series of secure serial device servers. The main differences between the models are the number of ports and the type of network connection employed. All instructions and information presented for the NPort 6000 apply to all models in the series. Any differences between models will be s pecified. Please refer to the Product Selection Chart section in this chapter for details on differences between models in the series.

NPort 6000 Series Introduction

1-2

Overview

The NPort 6000 can be used to connect any serial device to an Ethernet network, and supports many different operation modes. In particular, the NPort 6000 also supports Secure TCP Server, Secur e TCP Client, S ecure Pair-Connection, and Secure Real COM modes for security critic al applications, such as banking, telecom, access control, and remote site management.

The NPort 6000’s Any Baudrate feature, which is based on Moxa’s UART IC, allows the use of non-standard baudrates. For exampl e , a 500 Kbp s baudrate may be required for some special applications. Many device servers could only be configured for a baudrate of 460.8 Kbps, resulting in an error rate of 7.84%. For serial communication, the acceptable margin of er ror is only 3%. The NPort 6000 allows you to configure the baudrate more accurately, and can be configured to transmit serial data at the rate of 491.5 K bps. This is only a 1.7% margin of error, which is well within the acceptable margin for serial data.

For some applications, data must be delivered relia b ly eve n if comm unic ation is disrupted. The NPort 6000 provides a powerful function to ensure that data is buff er ed in case of a communication failure. When a communication failure occurs, the data is stored in the NPort 6000 . Upo n resump tion of communication, the buffered data will be sent to the destination. The default size of the port buffer is 64 KB for each port. For the NPort 6610, NPort 6250, NPort 6450, and NPort 6650, users may increase the buffer size by using an external SD card for the buffer .

Package Checklist

Each NPort 6000 serial device server is shipped in a separa te box with a number of standard accessories. In addition, several optional accessorie s can be ordere d sep arate ly. When you receive your shipment, please check the contents of the box carefully, and notify your Moxa sales r epres e nta tiv e if any of the items are missing or appear to be damaged.

Panel, DIN-Rail, and Rack Mounting

Wall or Cabinet Mounting

The NPort 6150, 6250, and 6450 device servers have built

-in

“ears” for attaching the device server to a wall or the inside of a cabinet. We suggest using two screws per ear to attach the device servers to a wall or the inside of a cabinet. The heads of the screws should be less than 6.0 mm in diameter, and the shafts should be less than 3.5 mm in diameter, as shown in the figure at the right.

NPort 6150 NPort 6250 NPort 6450

DIN-Rail Mounting

DIN-rail attachments can be purchased sep arately to attach the NPort 6150, 6250, and 6450 to a DIN-rail. When the snapping the attachments to the DIN-rail, make sure that the stiff me tal sp r ings are a t the top.

NPort 6150 NPort 6250 NPort 6450

Rack Mounting

Use four screws to attach the NPort 6610/6650 to a standard rack.

Connecting the Hardware

This section describes how to connect the NPort 6000 to serial dev ic es for the firs t tim e .

Wiring Requirements

ATTENTION

Disconnect the power before installing and wiring

Disconnect the power cord before installing

and/or wiring your NPort 6000.

Do not exceed the maximum current for the wiring

Determine the maximum possible current for each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for e ac h wire si ze . If the

current exceeds the maximum rating, the wiring could ov erhe a t, ca us ing ser io us damag e to your

equipment.

Server may get hot, use caution when handling

Use caution

when handling the NPort 6000 after it has been plugged in. The internal components generate

eat and the casing may be hot to the touch.

You should also heed the follow ing guidelines:

• Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wir ing and devic e wir ing p aths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.

NOTE: Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different sig nal c harac te ristics should be routed separately.

• The type of signal transmitted through a wire should determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wires sharing similar electrical characteristics may be bundled together.

• Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.

• It is good practice to label the wiring to all devices in the system.

Connecting the NPort 6600-32/16/8-48V’s Power

To connect the NPort 6600-32/16/8-48V’s power cord with its term inal block, follow the steps given below:

Loosen the screws on the V+ and V- terminals of the NPort 6600-32/16/8-48V’s

terminal block.

Connect the power cord’s 48 VDC wire to the terminal block’s V+ terminal, and the

power cord’s DC Power Ground wire to the terminal block’s V- ter mina l, and then tighten the terminal block screws. (Note: The NPort 660 0-32/16/8-48V can still operate even if the DC 48V and DC Power Ground are reversed.)

If the power is properly supplied, the “Ready” LED will show a solid red color until the system is ready, at which time the “Ready” LED will change to a green color.

NOTE

You should use 8 kg

-cm of screw torque and 22-14 AWG of suitable electric wire to connect the N Por t

Connecting to the Network

Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the NPort 6000’s 10/100M Ethernet port and the other end of the cable to the Ethernet network. If you are using a fiber port version of the NPort 6000, connect the fiber cable from the Ethernet network to the NPort 6000’s fiber port.

If the cable is properly connected, the NPort 6000 will indica te a valid conne c ti o n to the Ether ne t as follows:

• The Ethernet LED glows a solid green when connected to a 100 Mbps Ethernet networ k.

• The Ethernet LED glows a solid orange when connected to a 10 Mbps Ethernet network.

• The Ethernet LED flashes when Ethernet packets are being tr ans mitte d or received.

Connecting to a Serial Device

Adjustable Pull High/Low Resistors for the RS-485 Port

In some critical environments, yo u may need to add termination resistors to prevent the refle c tion of serial signals. When using termination resistors, it is important to set the pull high/low resistors correctly so that the electrical signal is not corrupted. The NPort 6000 uses jumper settings or DIP switches to set the pull high/low resistor values for each serial port.

To set the pull high/lo w resi stors to 15 0 K

Ω, make sure that the two jumpers assigned to the serial port are not shorted by jumper caps. (For the NPort 6650, make sure both of the assigned DIP switches are in the OFF position.) This is the default setting.

To set the pull high/low re sistors to 1 K

Ω, make sure that the two jumpers assigned to the serial port are shorted by jumper caps. (For the NPort 6650, make sure both of the assigned DI P switches are in the ON position.)

ATTENTION

Do not

use the 1 KΩ setting on the NPort 6000 when using the RS-232 interface

. Doing so will degrade the

-232 signals and shorten the maximum allowed communication distance.

Static and Dynamic IP Addresses

Determine whether your NPort 6000 needs to use a static IP or dynamic IP address (eithe r DHCP or BOOTP/PPPoE application).

• If your NPort 6 000 is use d in a st atic IP e nviron ment, you will assign a specific IP address using one

of the tools described in this chapter.

• If your NPort 6000 is used in a dyn ami c IP envi ronment, the IP address will be assigned

automatically from over the network. In this case, s e t the IP configuration mode to DHCP, DHCP/BOOTP, BOOTP, or PPPoE.

ATTENTION

Consult your network administrator on how to reserve a fixed IP address for your NPort

6000 in the MAC-

IP mapping table when using a DHCP Server or BOOTP Server. For most applications, you should assign a fixed IP address to your NPort 6000.

Factory Defaul t IP Address

The NPort 6000 is configured with the following def ault pr ivate IP address:

192.168.127.254

Note that IP addresses that begin with “192.168” are referred to as private IP addresses. Devices configured with a private IP address are not directly accessible from a public network. For example, you would not be able to ping a device with a private IP address from an outside Internet co nne c tio n. I f your application requires sending data over a public network, such as the Internet, your NPort 6000 will need a valid public IP address, which can be leased from a local ISP.

Configuration Options

NPort Search Utility

You may configure your NPort 6000 with the bundled NPort Search Utility for Windows. Plea se refer to Chapter 10, Software Installation/Configuratio n, for details on how to install and use NPort Search Utility.

Web Console

You may configure your NPort 6000 using a standard web browser. Pleas e ref er to Chapter 5, Configuration with the Web Console, for details on how to access and use the NPort 6000 web console.

LCM Console/Front Panel (NPort 6610, 6650, and 6450 only)

The NPort 6610, 6650, and 6450 only give you the option to configure some settings through the front panel, also known as the LCM (Liquid Crystal Module) console. The LCM console can be configured for read-only or writeable access. Read-only access allows settings to be viewed but not changed. Factory default settings are for writeable access, where configuration is allowed through the LCM console.

NPort 6000 Series Initial IP Address Configuration

ATTENTION

If a password has been enabled for the NPort 6000 console and the LCM console is configur e d for write a b le status, the LCM console will require you to enter the password before allowing you access. The password will not be required if the LCM console is configured for read

-only access.

The MENU button activates the main menu. It is also used to cancel a selection and return to a previous menu. The UP and DOWN buttons navigate between available options. The SEL button confirms a selection or enters a submenu. The IP environment (Static, DHCP, PPPoE, etc.) is configured under Main Menu  Network setting  IP

config. The IP address is configured under Main Menu  Network setting  IP address. After the address has been entered, you will need to restart the NPort under Main Menu  Save/Restart.

The following instructions explain how to set the NPort 6000’s IP address through the LCM console:

1. Press MENU to activate the Main Menu.

2. The first line of the disp lay indicate s the c urrent me nu and should read Main Menu. The second line indicates the current selection and should read Server setting. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select Network setting. Press SEL to enter the Network setting menu.

3. In the Network setting menu, select IP config. Don’t forget to press SEL to confirm your selection.

4. In the IP config menu, use the UP and DOWN buttons to select the option that matches your IP environment (static, DHCP, etc.). Press SEL to confirm your cho ic e . You may also press MENU to cancel your selection and return to the previous submenu.

Continue modifying the IP address until all digits have been entered. If you make a mistake, press MENU to cancel all changes and return to the Network setting menu. You cannot go back one digit.

7. Once you have finished modifying the IP address, your changes are saved but not in effect. In order for your changes to take effect, you will need to restart the NPort. You may view and modify your change s by selecting IP address at the Network setting menu again.

8. Press the menu button to exit out of the Network setting menu and return to the Mai n Menu. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select Save/Restart and press SEL. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select Yes and press SEL to restart.

NOTE

Only standard temperature models come with an

LCM console.

ARP

You may use the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command to set up an IP address for your NPort 6000. The ARP command tells your computer to associate the NPort 6000’s MAC address with an IP address. Afterwards, use Telnet to access the NPort 6000 and its IP address will be reconfig ured.

ATTENTION

In order to use the ARP setup method, both your computer and the NPort 6000 must be connected to the same LAN. Alternatively, you may use a cross-over Ethernet cable to connect the NPort 6000 directly to your computer

’s Ethernet card. Before

executing the ARP command, your NPort 6000 must be configured with the factory default IP address (192.168.127.25 4) and your computer and the NPort 6000 must be on the same subnet.

To use ARP to configure the IP address, complete the following :

1. Obtain a valid IP address for your NPort 6000 from your network administrator.

2. Obtain your NPort 6000’s MAC addr ess from the label o n the botto m panel.
