Hardware Installation
STEP 1: After removing the NPort 5600-8-DT from the box, place it on
a desktop or other horizontal surface. Connect the 12-48 VDC power
adaptor to the NPort 5600-8-DT’s power input when using an AC power
source, or connect the NPort 5600-8-DT’s terminal block directly to a
DC power source.
STEP 2: Use an Ethernet cable to connect the NPort 5600-8-DT to a
network hub or switch. You can also connect directly to your computer’s
Ethernet port, which is convenient for initial configuration or testing.
STEP 3: Connect the NPort 5600-8-DT’s serial port to a serial device.

installation on a wall or the inside of a cabinet. First, attach the
brackets to the back of the NPort with screws. Next, mount the unit on
a wall or cabinet with screws.
