NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration
3-6
Serial Console (19200, n, 8, 1)
You may use the RS-232/422/485 console port to set up the IP address for NPort 5100. We
suggest using PComm Terminal Emulator, which is available free of charge as part of the PComm
Lite program suite (found on the Software CD that comes with the product), to carry out the
installation procedure, although other similar utilities may also be used.
Before you start to configure the NPort 5100 via serial console, turn off the power and connect the
serial cable from NPort 5100 to your computer’s serial port.
1. Connect NPort 5100’s serial port 1 directly to your computer’s male RS-232/422/485 serial
port.
2. From the Windows desktop, click Start Æ Programs Æ PComm Lite Æ Terminal
Emulator.
3. When the PComm Terminal Emulator window opens, first click on the Port Manager
menu item and select Open, or simply click on the Open icon.
4. The Property window opens automatically. From the Communication Parameter page,
select the appropriate COM port for the connection, COM1 in this example, and 19200 for
Baud Rate, 8 for Data Bits, None for Parity, and 1 for Stop Bits.
5. From the Property window’s Terminal page, select ANSI or VT100 for Terminal Type and
then click OK.
If you select Dumb Terminal as the terminal type, some of the console functions—especially
the “Monitor” function—may not work properly.
6. Press the “ ` ” key continuously and then power on the NPort 5100.
