Hardware Installation Procedure
STEP 1: After removing the NPort 5200 from the box, the first thing you
should do is connect the power adapter. Connect the 12-30 VDC power
line with the NPort 5200’s terminal block, or connect the DIN-rail power
supply with the NPort 5200’s terminal block.
STEP 2: Connect the NPort 5200 to a network. Use a standard
straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a hub or switch. When
setting up or testing the NPort 5200, 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 the NP ort 5200’s serial port to a serial device.
STEP 4: Placement Options
In addition to placing the
NPort 5200 on a desktop or
other horizontal surface,
you may also make use of
the DIN-rail or wall mount
options, as illustrated here.
