operation modes to ensure the compatibility of network software. In

addition, the NPort 6450 also supports 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.

Hardware Introduction

NOTE

The LCD panel is only available with standard temperature

models.

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.

Adjustable pull up/down resistor for RS-422/485 (150

KΩor 1 K

)

Dip switch Pin 1 and Pin 2 are

used to set the pull

up/down

resistors. The default is 150

KΩ.

Turn on dip switch Pin 1

and Pin 2

to set this value to 1

KΩ. Do not use the KΩ setting

with RS

-232 mode, since

doing so will degrade the

-232 signals and shorten

the communication distance.

Dip switch Pin 3 is used to set

the terminator. Turn on dip

switch Pin 3 to set this value to

120

ohm.

Hardware Installation Procedure

STEP 1: Connect the 12-48 VDC power adapter to the NPort 6450 and

then plug the power adapter into a DC outlet.

STEP 2: For first-time configuration, use a cross-over Ethernet cable to

connect the NPort 6450 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 6450’s serial port(s) to serial device(s).

NOTE

The operating temperature of the power adapter in the box is 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

- 48 VDC, minimum

0.73A). Moxa has power adapters with wide temperature range

(

-40 to 75˚C, -40 to 167˚F), the PWR-12150-(plug type)-SA-T

series, for your reference.

•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.
