NPort 5200 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration
3-7
ATTENTION
The Serial Console can only be accessed by NPort 5200’s RS-232 ports (ports 1 and 2 for NPort
5210, and port 1 for NPort 5230). Since NPort 5232 and NPort 5232I do not have an RS-232
interface, the Serial Console program cannot be used to configure NPort 5232/5232I’s IP
address.
Before you use the serial console to configure the NPort 5200, turn off the power and connect the
serial cable from NPort 5200 to your computer’s serial port.
1. Connect NPort 5200’s serial port 1 directly to your computer’s male RS-232 serial port.
2. From the Windows desktop, click on 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 5200.
