4. Hardware Installation Procedure
STEP 1
: After removing NPort 5210-P/5230-P from the box, the first
thing you should do is connect the power adaptor. Connect the 12-30
VDC power line with NPort 5210-P/5230-P’s terminal block, or connect
the DIN-Rail power supply with NPort 5210-P/5230-P’s terminal block.
STEP 2
: Connect NPort 5210-P/5230-P to a network. Use a standard
straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a Hub or Switch. When
setting up or testing NPort 5210-P/5230-P, you might find it convenient
to connect directly to your computer’s Ethernet port. In this case, use a
cross-over Ethernet cable.
STEP 3
: Connect NPort 5210-P/5230-P’s serial port to a serial device.
STEP 4: Placement Options
In addition to placing
NPort 5210-P/5230-P
on a desktop or other
horizontal surface, you
may also make use of
the DIN-Rail or Wall
Mount options, as
illustrated here.
