2 Setting Up NPort Server Pro 2.
LED Indicators LED COLOR Power Red Green Ready Blinking 100M Green 10M Green Traffic Green Tx Green Rx Orange Description Indicates that NPort Server Pro is turned on, and power is being supplied to the server. Steady on indicates that NPort Server Pro is running without problem. Flashing indicates that the NPort Pro Manager Locate Server function has located the server. NPort is requesting an IP address from the DHCP or BootP server. After receiving the IP, the LED will stop blinking.
Locating NPort Server Pro There are two placement options available. NPort Server Pro can be placed on a desktop, or attached to a 19-inch rackmount. Desktop This option involves placing NPort Server Pro on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop. In this case, you should stick the four rubber pads to the bottom of the server, and we recommend leaving sufficient room between NPort Server Pro and neighboring equipment to create clearance for air to circulate.
Connecting to the Network There are two ways to use the 10/100BaseT Ethernet jack that is located on NPort Server Pro’s back panel. For many of the applications using NPort Server Pro, you will simply plug one end of your Ethernet cable into the 10/100BaseT jack, and the other end into the hub connected to your network. In this case, use a regular straight-through Ethernet cable.
