1. Introduction

The NPort 6000 series of secure serial device servers has many exceptional features. More than 20 models
comprise 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 specified. Please
refer to the Product Selection Chart section in this chapter for details on differences between models in the
series.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:

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, Secure TCP Client, Secure
Pair-Connection, and Secure Real COM modes for security-critical applications, such as banking, telecom,
access control, and remote site management. Moreover, for firmware v1.14 and above, the NPort 6000 series
enhances its security level to comply with industry standard IEC 62443-4-2 at level 2 in the following focused
areas: more secure protocols supported, authentication control, more complex data encryptions, and so on.
The NPort 6000’s Any Baudrate feature, which is based on Moxa’s UART IC, allows the use of nonstandard
baudrates. For example, a baudrate of 500 kbps 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 error is only 3%. The NPort 6000 allows you to configure the
baudrate more accurately, and it can be configured to transmit serial data at the rate of 491.5 kbps. 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 reliably even if communication is disrupted. The NPort 6000
provides a powerful function to ensure that data is buffered in case of a communication failure. When a
communication failure occurs, the data is stored in the NPort 6000. Upon resumption 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.

Package Checklist

Each NPort 6000 serial device server is shipped in a separate box, which also includes a number of standard
accessories. In addition, several optional accessories can be ordered separately. When you receive your
shipment, please check the contents of the box carefully and notify your Moxa sales representative if any of the
items are missing or appear to be damaged.

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.

Connecting the Hardware

This section describes how to connect the NPort 6000 to serial devices for the first time.

Wiring Requirements

; use caution when handling
t, and the casing may get too hot to touch.
You should also heed the following guidelines:
• Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power-wiring and device-wiring paths 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 signal characteristics 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 VDC’s Power

To connect the NPort 6600-32/16/8-48V’s power cord with its terminal block, follow the steps given below:
Loosen the screws on the V+ and V- terminals of the NPort 6600 VDC’s terminal
block.
Connect the power cord’s VDC wire to the terminal block’s V+ terminal and the

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 indicate a valid connection to the Ethernet as follows:
• The Ethernet LED glows solid green when connected to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network.
• The Ethernet LED glows solid orange when connected to a 10 Mbps Ethernet network.
• The Ethernet LED flashes when Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received.

Connecting to a Serial Device

Connect the serial data cable between the NPort 6000 and the serial device. Serial data cables are available as
optional accessories.

LED Indicators

The LED indicators on the front panel of the NPort 6000 are described in the following table.

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

In some critical environments, you may need to add termination resistors to prevent the reflection 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/low resistors to 150 K

3. Initial IP Address Configuration

When setting up the NPort 6000 for the first time, the first thing you should do is configure its IP address. This
chapter introduces the different methods that can be used.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:
Static and Dynamic IP Addresses
Factory Default IP Address
Configuration Options
Device Search Utility
Web Console
LCM Console/Front Panel (NPort 6610, 6650, and 6450 only)
ARP
Telnet Console
Serial Console
NPort 6000 Series Initial IP Address Configuration
3-2
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.

Static and Dynamic IP Addresses

Determine whether your NPort 6000 needs to use a static IP or dynamic IP address (either DHCP or
BOOTP/PPPoE application).
If your NPort 6000 is used in a static IP environment, you will assign a specific IP address, using one
of the tools described in this chapter.
If your NPort 6000 is used in a dynamic IP environment, the IP address will be assigned
automatically from over the network. In this case, set the IP configuration mode to DHCP, DHCP/BOOTP,
BOOTP, or PPPoE.

Factory Default IP Address

The NPort 6000 is configured with the following default private 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 connection. If 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

Device Search Utility

You may configure your NPort 6000 with the bundled Device Search Utility for Windows. Note that you will be
asked to enter the user
name and password to access the NPort 6000 device. The default username is admin and the default password
is moxa. Please refer to Chapter 13, Software Installation/Configuration, for details on how to install and use
the Device Search Utility.

Web Console

You may configure your NPort 6000 using a standard web browser. Note that you will be asked to enter the
username and password to access the NPort 6000 device. The default username is admin and the default
password is moxa. Please refer 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

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 crossover 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

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 display indicates the current menu 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 choice. You may also press MENU to cancel
your selection and return to the previous submenu.
5. You should be back in the Network setting menu. From the Network setting menu, select IP address.
6. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to modify the digit currently selected by the blinking cursor. Press SEL to
move to the next digit. Continue modifying the IP address until all the 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 changes by
selecting IP address at the Network setting menu again.
8. Press the menu button to exit the Network setting menu and return to the Main 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.
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 reconfigured.
