NPort 6250

Reset Button—Press the Reset Button continuously for 5 sec to load

factory defaults. Use a pointed object, such as a straightened pap er clip or
toothpick, to press the reset button. This will cause the Ready LED to blink
on and off. The factory defaults will be loaded once the Ready L ED s tops
blinking (after about 5 seconds). At this point, you should release the
reset button.

LED Indicators

PWR

Red

Power is being supplied to the power input.

Ready

Red

Steady on

Power is on and the NPort is
booting up.

Blinking

Indicates an IP conflict, or, the

DHCP or BOOTP server did not
respond properly or a relay

output occurred. Check the relay
output first. If after resolving the

relay output the RDY LED is still
blinking, then there is an IP
conflict, or the DHCP or BOOTP

server did not respond properly.

Green

Steady on

Power is on and the NPort is
functioning normally.

Blinking

The device server has been

located by the Administrator’s

Location function.

Off

Power is off, or power error condition exists.

Adjustable pull high/low resistor for RS-422/485 (150
KΩ or 1 KΩ)

Jumpers are used to set the pull high/low

resistors. The default is 150 kΩ. Short
the jumpe rs to set this value to 1 kΩ. Do
not use the 1 kΩ setting with RS

-232

mode, since doing so will degrade the
RS

-232 signals and shorten the

communication distance.

Hardware Installation Procedure

STEP 1:

Connect the 12-48 VDC power ada ptor to t he NPort 6 15 0 an d
then plug the power adaptor into a DC out let.

STEP 2:

For first-time configuration, use a cross-over Ethernet cable to
connect the NPort 6150 directly to your computer’s Ethernet
cable. For connecting to a network, use a standard
straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a hub or switch.

STEP 3:

Connect the NPort 6150’s serial port to a ser ial device.

Placement Options

The NPort 6150/6250 can be placed flat on a desktop or other horizonta l
surface. In addition, you may use the DIN-ra i l or wallmount options, as
illustrated below.
