Hardware Introduction

The NPort W2150A models have one serial port; the NPort W2250A

models have two serial ports. Both models support RS-232/422/485

operation with DB9 connectors and include one 10/100M Ethernet port.

NOTE

Do not use the 1 kΩ setting while in RS-232 mode. Doing so will

degrade the RS

communication distance.

First-time Hardware Installation

STEP 1:

After removing the NPort W2150A/W2250A from the box, use

a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the NPort’s RJ45

Ethernet port directly to your computer’s Ethernet port.

STEP 2:

Attach the power adapter to the NPort

and then plug the

adapter into an electrical outlet.

STEP 3:

Configure the NPort W2150A/W2250A through the Ethernet

port. See the next section on how to install software.

NOTE

You must connect the Ethernet cable first before powering up

your NPort

Software Installation Information

Insert the Documentation and software CD into your PC. A window should

open with several options displayed:

•Click [Install COM Driver] and follow the on-screen instructions to

install the COM drivers.

•Click [Documents] and select NPort W2150A/W2250A Series

User’s Manual to view the user’s manual.

•Click [Install UTILITY] and follow the on-screen instructions to

install the NPort Search Utility. This utility can be used to search for

NPort W2150A/W2250A units on the network.

Setting the IP Address

The factory default IP settings are assigned as follows:

LAN: Static; IP = 192.168.126.254; netmask = 255.255.255.0

WLAN: Static; IP = 192.168.127.254; netmask = 255.255.255.0

If the NPort is configured for DHCP, but the DHCP server cannot be found,

then the NPort will use the factory default IP settings.

NOTE

If you have forgotten the NPort’s IP address, use the NPort

Search Utility from your PC to locate the NPort. After searching

the LAN for NPort units, the NPort Search Utility

will display the IP

address of each unit.

NOTE

Ethernet Bridge Disabled (default): Only one network

interface can be active at a time. If the Ethernet link is active, the

WLAN will be inactive. If the WLAN is active, the Ethernet link will

be inactive.

Ethernet Bridge Enabled:

The LAN and WLAN will both be

active. Go to the web console, find the network settings page,

and set Ethernet Bridge to Enabled.

- 6 -

Open the web console to make configuration changes as follows:

STEP 1:

Open your web browser.

STEP 2:

In the address bar, enter 192.168.126.254 (the default IP

address).

STEP 3:

The web console will open, and the current configuration

settings are shown.

STEP 4:

For first-time use, click the Wizard in the left navigation panel.

The wizard will prompt

you to configure the IP address, SSID,

and security mode. For other settings, use the factory defaults

or modify the settings for your application.
