Overview

The NPort IA5000A-I/O and IAW5000A-I/O Series consist of serial device
servers with Digital Input/Output (DIO), providing maximum flexibility to
integrate serial equipment in the field into Ethernet networks for a variety
of industrial data acquisition applications. The DIO on a device can be
controlled over TCP/IP, using the Modbus TCP protocol, and it can be
configured and secured from a web browser.

Hardware Introduction

As shown in the following figures, the NPort IA5000A-I/O Series has two
Ethernet RJ45 LAN ports, and the NPort IAW5000A-I/O Series has one
Ethernet RJ45 LAN port and one antenna for WiFi (IEEE 802.11 standards)
signal communication, supporting 2.4GHz and 5 GHz frequencies. Both
series are equipped with four DIs and two DOs for data acquisition
applications. The NPort IA5000A-I/O and IAW5000A-I/O device server
series come with built-in 4 kV serial port surge protection.

Hardware Installation Procedure

STEP 1:

After unpacking the unit, connect the power supply to the unit.

STEP 2:

Use an Ethernet cable to connect the unit to the network.

STEP 3:

Connect your device to the desired port on the unit.

STEP 4:

Place or mount the unit. The unit may be placed on a
horizontal surface such as a desktop, or mounted on the wall.

Mounting Options

The NPort IA5000A-I/O and IAW5000A-I/O are designed to be attached
to a DIN rail or mounted on a wall.

- 5 -

STEP 1:

Insert
the top of the
DIN rail into the
slot.

STEP 2:

The
DIN rail
attachment unit
will snap into
place as shown
at right.

Wall Mounting (optional)

For some applications, it may be more convenient to mount the NPort
IA5000A-I/O or IAW5000A-I/O to a wall, as illustrated below.

Do not drive the screws in all the way—leave a space of about 2 mm to
allow room for sliding the wall-mounting panel between the wall and the
screws.

NOTE

Test the screw head and shank size by inserting the screws into
one of the keyhole

-shaped apertures of the wall-

mounting plates

before they are fixed to the wall.

STEP 3:

Once the screws are fixed into the wall, insert the four screw heads
through the large opening of the keyhole-shaped apertures, and then
slide the NPort downwards, as indicated to the right. Tighten the screws
for added stability.

Termination Resistor and Adjustable Pull-Up/Down Resistors

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-up/down resistors correctly so that
the electrical signal is not corrupted. The NPort IA5000A-I/O and
IAW5000A-I/O Series use DIP switches to set the pull-up/down resistor
values for each serial port. The DIP switches are located at the side of
wireless device server for easy setting.

- 6 -

To add a 120 Ω termination resistor, set switch 3 on the port’s
assigned DIP switch to ON; set switch 3 to OFF (the default setting) to
disable the termination resistor.

To set the pull-up/down resistors to 150 KΩ, set switches 1 and 2 on
the port’s assigned DIP switch to OFF. This is the default setting.

To set the pull-up/down resistors to 1 KΩ, set switches 1 and 2 on
the port’s assigned DIP switch to ON.

Do not use the 1 KΩ setting while in RS-232 mode. Doing so will
degrade the RS

-232 signals and reduce the effective

communication distance.

Software Installation Information

For software installation, download the relative utilities from Moxa’s
website:

https://www.moxa.com/support/support_home.aspx?isSearchShow=1

• Download the NPort Windows Driver Manager and install it as
the driver to run with Real COM mode of the NPort Series.

• Execute NPort Windows Driver Manager; then map the virtual
COM ports on your Windows platform.

• You may refer to the DB9 Male pin assignment section to loop
back pin 2 and pin 3 for the RS-232 interface to carry out a
self-test on the device.

• Use HyperTerminal or a similar program (you may download
Moxa’s program, called PComm Lite) to test whether the device
is good or not.

If the NPort is configured for DHCP but the DHCP server cannot be found,
the NPort will use factory default IP settings.

NOTE

If you have forgotten the NPort’s IP address, use the Device
Search Utility from your PC to locate the NPort. After searching
the LAN for NPort units, the

Device

Search Utility will display the

IP address of each unit.

NOTE

(

For the NPort IAW5000A-I/O Series)

Ethernet Bridge Disabled (default):

Only one network

interface can be active at a time. If the Ethernet link is active, the
WLAN will be inactive. If the WLAN is active, the Ethernet link will
be inactive.

Ethernet Bridge Enabled:

The LAN and WAN will both be

active. Go to the web console,

find the network settings page,

and set Ethernet Bridge to Enabled.

Open the web console to make the configuration changes as follows:

STEP 1: Open your web browser.

STEP 2: In the address bar, enter the default IP address (for the NPort

IA5000A-I/O Series, it is 192.168.127.254; for the NPort IAW5000A-I/O
Series, it is 192.168.126.254)

STEP 3: The web server will ask for the username and password before
you log in. To configure the device server, you may use the default
user/default password admin/moxa to log in the web console.

STEP 4: For first-time use, click the Wizard in the left navigation panel.
The wizard will prompt you to configure the IP address and basic settings.
For other settings, use the factory defaults or modify the settings for your
application.
