Hardware Introduction

The NPort S8455I integrates 5 Ethernet ports and 4 male DB9 ports

for the RS-232/422/485 serial port.

NPort S8455I-SS-SC/NPort S8455I-MM-SC integrates 2 fiber ports,

3 Ethernet ports, and 4 male DB9 ports for the RS-232/422/485 serial

port.

The NPort S8458 integrates 4 fiber ports, 4 Ethernet ports, and 4

male DB9 ports for the RS-232/422/485 serial port.

Reset Button—Hold the Reset button for 5 seconds to load factory

default settings: 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.

Hardware Installation Procedure

STEP 1: After removing the NPort S8000 from the box, attach the

power adaptor.

STEP 2: Connect the NPort S8000 to a network. Use a standard

straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a hub or switch. When

setting up or testing the NPort S8000, you might find it convenient to

connect directly to your computer’s Ethernet port. In this case, use a

crossover Ethernet cable.

STEP 3: Connect the NPort S8000’s serial port to a serial device.

STEP 4: Mount the NPort S8000 to either a wall or DIN-rail, as

described below.

Wall Mounting (optional)

In high-vibration environments, we suggest using the NPort S8000’s

wall-mount kit to fix. The installation procedure is described below:

STEP 1: Remove the aluminum DIN-rail attachment plate from the

NPort S8000’s rear panel and then attach the wall-mount plates with

M3 screws.

STEP 2: Four screws are required. Use the NPort

S8000

, with wall-mount plates attached, as a guide

mark the correct locations of the 4 screws. 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.

NOTE

Before tightening the screws into the wall, make sure the screw

head and shank size

s are suitable by inserting one of the

screws into one of the keyhole

-shaped openings of the wall-

mounting plates.

Do not screw the screws in completely—leave about 2 mm to allow

room for sliding the wall-mount panel between the wall and the screws.

STEP 3: Once the screws are fixed to the wall, insert the four screw

heads through the large parts of the keyhole-shaped openings and slide

the NPort S8000 downwards as indicated. Tighten the four screws for

added stability.

DIN-rail Mounting (optional)

DIN-rail attachments can be purchased separately to

attach the product to

a DIN-rail. When snapping the

attachments to the DIN

-rail, make sure that the stiff

metal springs are at the top.

Software Installation Information

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

LAN: Static IP = 192.168.127.254; netmask = 255.255.255.0

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). You may also refer to Moxa

support website https://www.moxa.com/support for user’s manual,

driver, SNMP MIB, and NPort Search Utility.

NOTE

For NPort with DB Male serial ports, you may refer to the DB9

Male Port

s 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.

Wiring the Relay Contact

The NPort S8000 has two sets of relay outputs: relay 1 and relay 2.

Each relay contact consists of two contacts of the terminal block on the

NPort S8000’s top panel. Refer to the next section for detailed

instructions on how to connect the wires to the terminal block

connector and how to attach the terminal block connector to the

terminal block receptor. The two contacts used to connect the relay

contacts work as follows (see illustration below):

The fault circuit will open if

A relay warning event is triggered, OR

The NPort S8000 is the Master of this Turbo

Ring, and the Turbo Ring is disconnected, OR

Start-up fails.

none of these three conditions are met, the fault

circuit will remain closed.

Wiring the Digital Inputs

The NPort S8000 unit has two sets of digital inputs: DI 1 and DI 2.

Each DI consists of two contacts of the 6-pin terminal block connector

on the NPort S8000’s top panel. The remaining contacts are used for

the NPort S8000’s two DC inputs. The top and front views of one of the

terminal block connectors are shown below.

Take the following steps to wire the digital inputs:

Insert the negative (ground) or positive DI

wires into the terminals.

To keep the DI wires from getting loose, use a

small flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the wire-

clamp screws on the front of the terminal block

connector.

Insert the plastic terminal block connector

prongs into the terminal block receptor, which

is located on the NPort 8000’s top panel.

Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs

The NPort S8000 unit has two sets of power inputs: power input 1 and

power input 2. The top two contacts and the bottom two contacts of the

6-pin terminal block connector on the top panel are used for the NPort

S8000’s two power inputs. The top and front views of one of the

terminal block connectors are shown below.

Take the following steps to wire the redundant power inputs:

1. Insert the negative/positive DC wires into the V-/V+ terminals.

2. To keep the DC wires from pulling loose, use a small flat-blade

screwdriver to tighten the wire-clamp screws on the front of the

terminal block connector.

3. Insert the plastic terminal block connector prongs into the terminal

block receptor, which is located on the NPort S8000’s top panel.
