Overview

The NPort 6150/6250 Series secure serial device servers provide

reliable serial-to-Ethernet connectivity for a wide range of serial

devices. The NPort 6150/6250 support TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP,

and Pair-Connection operation modes to ensure the compatibility of

network software. In addition, the NPort 6150/6250 also support

Secure TCP Server, Secure TCP Client, Secure Pair-Connection, and

Secure Real COM modes for security critical applications such as

banking, telecom, access control, and remote site management.

Package Checklist

Before installing an NPort 6150/6250 secure device server, verify that

the package contains the following items:

•NPort 6150 or NPort 6250

•Power adapter (does not apply to -T models)

•2 wall-mount ears

•Documentation

•Quick installation guide (this guide)

•Warranty card

Optional Accessories

•DK-35A: DIN-rail mounting kit (35 mm)

•CBL-RJ45M9-150: 8-pin RJ45 to male DB9 cable

•CBL-RJ45M25-150: 8-pin RJ45 to male DB25 cable

NOTE: Please notify your sales representative if any of the above items

are missing or damaged.

NOTE

The operating temperature of the power adapter in the box is

from 0 to 40°C. If your application is out of this range, please

use a power adapter supplied by UL Listed External Power

Supply (The power output meets SELV and LPS and

rated 12 to

48 VDC; the minimum current is 0.43 A).

Reset Button—Press the Reset Button continuously for 5 sec to load

factory defaults. Use a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip

or toothpick, to press the reset button. This will cause the Ready LED to

blink on and off. The factory defaults will be loaded once the Ready LED

stops blinking (after about 5 seconds). At this point, you should release

the reset button.

Steady on

Power is on and the NPort is

Blinking

Indicates an IP conflict, or, the

DHCP or BOOTP server did not

respond properly or a relay

output

occurred. Check the relay

output first. If after resolving

the relay output the RDY LED is

still blinking, then there is an IP

conflict, or the DHCP or BOOTP

server did not respond properly.

Green

Steady on

Power is on and the NPort is

functioning normally.

The device server has been

located by the Administrator’s

Location function.

Off

Power is off, or power error condition exists.

Open the back door with

screwdriver and use the DIP

switch to set the pull high/low

resistors. The default is 150 kΩ.

You can switch the SW1 and SW2

to ON and change the resistors

value to 1 kΩ.

Do not use the 1 kΩ setting with

-232 mode, since doing so will

degrade t

he RS-232 signal and

shorten the communication

distance. In addition, you can

switch the SW3 to ON and set the

terminal resistor to 120Ω.

Hardware Installation Procedure

STEP 1:

Connect the 12-48 VDC power adaptor to the NPort 6150

and then plug the power adaptor into a DC outlet.

STEP 2:

For first-time configuration, use a cross-over Ethernet cable

to connect the NPort

6150 directly to your computer’s

Ethernet cable. For connecting to a network, use a standard

straight

-through Ethernet cable to connect to a hub or

switch.

STEP 3:

Connect the NPort 6150’s serial port to a serial device.

Placement Options

The NPort 6150/6250 device servers have built-in

"ears" for attaching the device server to a wall or the

inside of a cabinet. We suggest using two screws per

ear to attach the device servers to a wall or the inside

of a cabinet. The heads of the screws should be less

than 6.0 mm in diameter, and the shafts should be less

than 3.5 mm in diameter, as shown in the figure

the

right.

The NPort 6150/6250 can be placed flat on a desktop or other

horizontal surface. In addition, you may use the DIN-rail or wall--mount

options, as illustrated below.

Software Installation Information

For the NPort’s configuration, the default IP address of the NPort is

192.168.127.254. You may log in with the account name admin and

password moxa to change any settings to meet your network topology

(e.g., IP address) or serial device (e.g., serial parameters).

For software installation, download the relative utilities from Moxa's

website:

https://www.moxa.com/support/support_home.aspx?isSearchShow=1

• Download the NPort Windows Driver Manager and install it as the

driver to run with Real COM mode of the NPort Series.

• Execute NPort Windows Driver Manager; then map the virtual COM

ports on your Windows platform.

• You may refer to the DB9 Male pin assignment section to loop back

pin 2 and pin 3 for the RS-232 interface to carry out a self-test on the

device.

• Use HyperTerminal or a similar program (you may download Moxa's

program, called PComm Lite) to test whether the device is good or not.
