Hardware Introduction

NOTE

The LCD panel is only available with standard temperature
models.

Reset Button—Press the Reset button continuously for 5 sec to
load factory defaults. Use a pointed object, such as a straightened
paper 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 LED stops blinking (after about 5 seconds).
At this point, you should release the reset button.

Power is being supplied to the power input.

Ready

Red

Steady on:

problem.

Green

Steady on:

Power is on and the NPort 6450
is functioning normally.

NPort is responding to Locate
function.

condition).

Module
Green

Adjustable pull high/low r esistor 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 jumpers to set

this value to 1 KΩ. Do not
use the 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 adaptor to the NPort 6450

and then plug the power adaptor into a DC outlet.
STEP 2: For first-time configuration, use a cross-over Ethernet

cable to connect the NPort 6450 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 6450’s serial port(s) to serial
device(s).

Placement Options

The NPort 6450 can be placed flat on a desktop or other horizontal
surface. In addition, you may use the DIN-Rail or Wall Mount
options, as illustrated below.
