NPort IA5150/5250 Series User’s Manual
Initial IP Address Configuration
3-6
Serial Console (19200, n, 8, 1)
You may use the RS-232 console port to set up the IP address for NPort IA5150/5250. We suggest
using PComm Terminal Emulator, which is available free of charge as part of the PComm Lite
program suite, to carry out the installation procedure, although other similar utilities may also be
used.
ATTENTION
The
Serial Console
is an RS-232 port (port 1 for NPort IA5250).
Before you start to configure the NPort IA5150/5250 via serial console, turn off the power and
connect the serial cable from NPort IA5150/5250 to your computer’s serial port.
1.
Connect NPort IA5150/5250’s serial port 1 directly to your computer’s male RS-232 serial
port.
