Software Installation Information
For the NPort’s configuration, the default IP address of the NPort is:
LAN: Static; IP = 192.168.127.254; netmask = 255.255.255.0
NOTE
If you have forgotten the NPort's IP address, use the Device
Search Utility (DSU) from your PC to locate the NPort. After
searching the
LAN for NPort units, the DSU will display the IP
address of each unit.
You may log in with the password moxa to change any settings to
meet your network topology (e.g., IP address) or serial device (e.g.,
serial parameters). For first-time use, click the Wizard in the left
navigation panel. The wizard will prompt you to configure the IP
address, SSID, and security mode. For other settings, use the factory
defaults or modify the settings for your application.
For software installation, download the relative utilities from Moxa's
website:
