Hardware Introduction
The NPort 5200 device servers are used to control
RS-232/422/485 devices. The NPort 5210/5210-T has two 8-pin
RJ45 ports, both for the RS-232 interface. The NPort 5230/5230-T
has one 10-pin terminal block, with 5 pins used for one RS-232
port, and 5 pins used for one RS-422/485 port. The NPort
5232/5232I/5232-T/5232I-T have one 10-pin terminal block, with
5 pins used for one RS-422/485 port, and 5 pins used for another
RS-422/485 port.
Reset Button—Press the Reset button continuously for 5 sec to
load factory defaults: Use a pointed object, such as a straightened
paper clip or toothpick, to press the reset button. This will cause
the Ready LED to blink on and off. The factory defaults will be
loaded once the Ready LED stops blinking (after about 5 seconds).
At this point, you should release the reset button.

Hardware Installation Procedure
STEP 1: After removing the NPort 5200 from the box, the first
thing you should do is connect the power adapter. Connect the
12-30 VDC power line with the NPort 5200’s terminal block, or
connect the DIN-rail power supply with the NPort 5200’s terminal
block.
STEP 2: Connect the NPort 5200 to a network. Use a standard
straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a hub or switch.
When setting up or testing the 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.
STEP 3: Connect the NPort 5200’s serial port to a serial device.
STEP 4: Placement Options
In addition to placing the
NPort 5200 on a desktop
or other horizontal
surface, you may also
make use of the DIN-rail
or wall mount options, as
illustrated here.
