User Manual

You should also pay attention to the following items:
 Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and
device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the
intersection point.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the
same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal
characteristics should be routed separately.
 You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which
wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares
similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
 Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
Where necessary, it is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system
Connecting the Power
Connect the 12-48 VDC power line with NPort W2250/2150’s terminal block. If the power is properly
supplied, the “Ready” LED will show a solid red color until the system is ready, at which time the
“Ready” LED will change to a green color.
Connecting to the Network
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to NPort W2250/2150’s 10/100M Ethernet port and
the other end of the cable to the Ethernet network. If the cable is properly connected, NPort
W2250/2150 will indicate a valid connection to the Ethernet in the following ways:
 The Ethernet LED maintains a solid green color when connected to a 100
Mbps Ethernet network.
 The Ethernet LED maintains a solid orange color when connected to a 10
Mbps Ethernet network.
 The Ethernet LED will flash when Ethernet packets are being transmitted or
received.
Connecting to a Serial Device
Connect the serial data cable between NPort W2250/2150 and the serial device. Serial data
cables are optional accessories for NPort W2250/2150. Refer to Chapter 1 under Optional
Accessories for information on the RJ45-to-DB25 and RJ45-to-DB9 cables.
