Hardware Installation Procedure
STEP 1: After removing the NPort IA5000A Series from the box, the
first thing you should do is connect the power adaptor. Connect the 12-
48 VDC power line with the NPort IA5000A Series’ terminal block, or
connect the DIN-Rail power supply with the NPort IA5000A Series’
terminal block.
STEP 2: Connect the NPort IA5000A Series to a network. Use a
standard straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a Hub or Switch.
When setting up or testing the NPort IA5000A Series, you might find it
convenient to connect directly to your computer’s Ethernet port. In this
case, use a cross-over Ethernet cable.
STEP 3: Connect the NPort IA5000A Series’ serial port to a serial
device.
STEP 4: The NPort IA5000A Series is designed to be attached to a DIN-
Rail or mounted on a wall. For DIN-Rail mounting, push down the
spring and properly attach it to the DIN-Rail until it “snaps” into place.
For wall mounting, install the wall mount kit (optional) first, and then
screw the device onto the wall.
