NPort IA5150A/IA5250A Series Getting Started
The Shielded Ground (sometimes called Protected Ground) contact
is the l
eft most contact of the 8 contact power terminal block
connector when viewed from the angle shown here. Connect the SG
wire to an appropriate grounded metal surface.
Connecting to the Network
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the NPort IA5150A/IA5250A’s 10/100M Ethernet port and the other
end of the cable to the Ethernet network. If the cable is properly connected, the NPort IA5150A/IA5250A will
indicate a valid connection to the Ethernet in the following ways:
• The Ethernet LED maintains a solid green color when connected to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network.
• The Ethernet LED maintains a solid orange color when connected to a 10 Mbps Ethernet network.
• The Ethernet LED will flash when Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received.
ATTENTION
Every NPort IA5150A/ IA5250A series is equipped with 2 Ethernet ports, which can be used to create an
t IA5150A/IA5250A device servers. You must be careful not to connect the Ethernet ports of
the
two device servers at the ends of the chain. In other words, NPort IA does NOT support a
closed chain.
Connecting to a Serial Device
Connect the serial data cable between the NPort IA5150A/IA5250A and the serial device. Serial data cables are
optional accessories for NPort.
LED Indicators
The top panels of all NPort IA5150A/IA5250As have four LED indicators, as described in the following table.
LED Name LED Color LED Function
Power is being supplied to power input PWR1, PWR2.
Ready red Steady on: Power is on and the NPort IA5150A/IA5250A is booting up.
Blinking: Indicates an IP conflict, or DHCP or BOOTP server did not
respond properly, or a relay output occurred.
When the above two conditions occur at the same time,
check the relay output first. If after resolving the relay output
the Ready LED is still blinking, then there is an IP conflict, or
the DHCP or BOOTP server did not respond properly.
green Steady on: Power is on and the NPort IA5150A/IA5250A is functioning
normally.
Blinking: The device server has been located by Administrator’s
Location function.
off Power is off, or power error condition exists.
E1, E2 orange 10 Mbps Ethernet connection.
green 100 Mbps Ethernet connection.
off Ethernet cable is disconnected, or has a short.
P1, P2 orange Serial port is receiving data.
green Serial port is transmitting data.
off No data is being transmitted or received through the serial port.
