Connecting to the Network 
Use the supplied Ethernet cable to connect the NPort to your Ethernet network. If the cable is properly 
connected, the NPort will indicate a valid connection to the Ethernet as follows: 
• A green Ethernet LED indicates a valid connection to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network. 
• An orange Ethernet LED indicates a valid connection to a 10 Mbps Ethernet network. 
• A flashing Ethernet LED indicates that Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received. 
Connecting the Power 
Connect the VDC power line (12 to 48 V) to the NPort’s power jack or terminal block (recommended for only 
one connection at a time). If power is properly connected, the “Ready” LED will initially glow red. When the 
system is ready, the “Ready” LED will turn green. 
Connecting to a Serial Device   
Use a serial cable to connect your serial device to a serial port on the NPort.
