Serial Console (19200, n, 8, 1)
You may use the RS-232 console port to set up the IP address for the NPort IA5000A. 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 serial port 1 of the NPort IA5250A series and it is the DB9 serial port (in RS-232 mode)
of the NPort IA5150A series.
Before you start to configure the NPort IA5000A via serial console, turn off the power and connect the serial
cable from the NPort IA5000A to your computer’s serial port.
