Configuration by Serial Console
Serial Console (19200, n, 8, 1)
You may use the RS-232 console port to configure your NPort’s IP address. 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 port is an RS-232 port.
Before you configure the NPort device server over the serial console, turn off the power and connect the
serial cable from the NPort to your computer’s serial port.
