NPort 5200 Series User’s Manual
Initial IP Address Configuration

ATTENTION
The
Serial Console
can only be accessed by NPort 5200’s RS-232 ports (ports 1 and 2 for NPort
5210, and port 1 for NPort 5230). Since NPort 5232 and NPort 5232I do not have an RS-232
interface, the
Serial Console
program
cannot be used to configure NPort 5232/5232I’s IP
address.
Before you use the serial console to configure the NPort 5200, turn off the power and connect the
serial cable from NPort 5200 to your computer’s serial port.
1.
Connect NPort 5200’s serial port 1 directly to your computer’s male RS-232 serial port.
