4. Hardware Installation Procedure
STEP 1
: After removing NPort 5200 from the box, the first thing you
should do is connect the power adaptor. Connect the 12-30 VDC power
line with NPort 5200’s terminal block, or connect the DIN-Rail power
supply with NPort 5200’s terminal block.
STEP 2
: Connect NPort 5200 to a network. Use a standard
straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a Hub or Switch. When
setting up or testing 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.
Notify your sales representative if any of the above items is missing or
damaged.

both for the RS-232 interface, NPort 5230 has one 10-terminal terminal
block, with 5 pins used for one RS-232 port, and 5 pins used for one
RS-422/485 port, and NPort 5232 /5232I has one 10-terminal terminal
block, with all pins used for RS-422/485 ports.
