NPort 6600 Series
Quick Installation Guide
Sixth Edition, August 2015
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.

Hardware Introduction
Demonstrated 8 port model to be an example.
Reset Button
Press the Reset button continuously for 5 sec to load factory
defaults: Use a pointed object to press the reset button. Release
the button after the Ready LED stops blinking.
RS-485 adjustable pull high/low resistor (150/1 kO)
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.
NOTE: For RS-232 applications, all DIP Switches for the port
should be set to the OFF position.
Rack Mounting
Use four screws to attach the NPort 6610/6650 to a standard rack

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:
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.
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.”
Note: LCM display panel and push buttons only for standard
temprature model
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.
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
information 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.
