Getting Started
NPort Server Lite User’s Manual 2-7
Note that there is no on/off switch. The server automatically turns on when plugged into the
outlet.
If the server is working properly the LCD panel back light will glow for a few seconds
before shutting off, and the green PWR LED will also light up, indicating that the server is
receiving power. The LCD panel should look similar to what is shown in Figure 1-1.
Serial Connection
The model of NPort Server Lite that you purchased has one DB9 serial port jack on the
back panel (see Fig. 1-3). Depending on your serial device and serial interfaces, there are
two options:
1. For an RS-232 port you may use a DB9 to DB9 cable to connect your serial device to
NPort Server Lite. Simply plug one end of the cable into the jack on the back panel of
the server, and plug the other end into the serial port jack on your serial device.
2. Refer to Appendix C for details on NPort Server Lite’s DB9 pinouts, and then make
your own cable.
