NPort 6600 Series

Quick Installation Guide

Third Edition, June 2008

1. Overview

The NPort 6600 series of serial device servers includes 8-port, 16-port,
and 32-port models for connecting larger numbers of serial devices to
Ethernet. Some applications now also require better security when
transmitting data through a network. The NPort 6600 series of device
servers use DES, 3DES, and AES data encryption to provide secure
network communication.

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

The NPort 6650 has 3 DIP Switches associated with each serial port for
configuring the pull high/low resistors for RS-485 applications. The
switches are located in a recess on the bottom of the NPort 6650. To
access the switches, first remove the panel covering the recess.

Operating the LCM Panel

There are four push buttons on the NPort 6600’s top panel for operating
the server’s LCM panel. The function of each button is described below:

Button Action

MENU Activates the main menu, or returns to a lower level.

∧

Scrolls up through a list of items shown on the LCM
panel’s second line.

∨

Scrolls down through a list of items shown on the LCM
panel’s second line.

SEL Selects the option listed on the LCM panel’s second line.

Detailed LCM panel operating instructions can be found on the
Document and Software CD in the “NPort 6600 Series User’s Manual.”

4. Hardware Installation Procedure

STEP 1: Connect the NPort 6600 device server to a suitable power

source.
AC models

: Connect the 100 to 240 VAC power cord to the
NPort 6600’s power input.
DC models

: Connect the terminal block to a battery.

STEP 2: Connect the NPort 6600 series to a network. Use a standard

straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a hub or switch.
Use a cross-over Ethernet cable when connecting to your
computer’s Ethernet port (e.g., when setting up or testing the
NPort 6600 server).

STEP 3: Connect the NPort 6600’s serial ports to your serial devices.

5. Software Installation Information

NPort Search Utility

To install the NPort Search Utility, insert the NPort Document and
Software CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. When the NPort
Installation CD window opens, click on the Installation button, and then
follow the instructions on the screen. To view detailed inform ation about
the NPort Search Utility, refer to the pdf version of the “NPort 6600
Series User’s Manual,” which is located in the document directory of the
CD.

PComm Lite and Console Port (19200, 8, None, 1)

MOXA’s PComm Lite software utility is also included in the Document
and Software CD of the CD-ROM. PComm Lite is often used to connect
to the NPort 6600 through its console port to configure the IP address for
the first time. Use the following serial console parameters when
connecting through the console port: 19200, 8, None, 1.
