Adjustable pull high/low resistor for RS-422/485 (150
KΩ or 1 KΩ)
Jumpers are used to set the pull high/low
resistors. The default is 150 kΩ. Short
the jumpers to set this value to 1 kΩ. Do
not use the 1 kΩ setting with RS
-232
mode, since doing so will degrade the
RS
-232 signals and shorten the
communication distance.
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 can be placed flat on a desktop or other horizontal
surface. In addition, you may use the DIN-rail or wallmount options, as
illustrated below.
