Power Status Check 
Use the PWR LED indicator on NPort Express’s top panel to see if it is receiving 
power. A red light indicates that power is being received. The absence of a light 
indicates that power is not being received. If the unit is plugged in, or is receiving 
power over cable, then an unlit PWR LED indicator shows that something is wrong 
with the NPort Express unit’s operation. 
Do NOT force either jumper horizontally, as shown in the 
diagram. Doing so could cause serious damage to your DE-211, or 
to the serial device connected to DE-211’s serial port. 
Do NOT force the jumper to connect the lower pin of JP2 to the 
upper pin of JP3, as shown in the diagram. Doing so could cause 
serious damage to your DE-211, or to the serial device connected 
to DE-211’s serial port.
