NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL Series Other Configuration Interfaces
Serial Console (NPort 5600-8-DTL)
You may use the RS-232 console port to set up the IP address for NPort 5600-8-DTL. 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 5600-8-DTL via serial console, turn off the power and connect the serial
cable from NPort 5600-8-DTL to your computer’s serial port.
1. Connect NPort 5600-8-DTL’s serial port 1 directly to your computer’s male RS-232/422/485 serial port.
2. From the Windows desktop, click Start Programs PComm Lite 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 5600-8-DTL.
7. The NPort 5600-8-DTL will receive the “ ` ” string continuously and then auto switch from data mode to
console mode.
8. Input the password when prompted. Note that this page will only appear when the NPort 5600-8-DTL has
been set up for password protection.
9. Start configuring the IP address under Network Settings. Refer to step 4 in the Telnet Console section
for the rest of the IP settings.
