Chapter 3 Configure Nport WS-120M When setting up your NPort WS-120M for the first time, the first thing you should do is configure Nport WS-120M. This chapter covers the following topics: Installation Procedure for First-time Users Serial Console (115200, n, 8, 1) LAN Setting Wireless Setting COM PORT Setting Installation Procedure for First-time Users STEP 1: After removing NPort from the box, use a serial interface cable to connect directly to your computer.s serial port.
4. The Property window opens automatically. From the Communication Parameter page, select the appropriate COM port for the connection, COM1 in this example, and 115200 for Baud Rate, 8 for Data Bits, None for Parity, and 1 for Stop Bits. 5. From the Property window’s Terminal page, select ANSI or VT100 for Terminal Type, and click on OK.
6. Press Reset button on the Nport WS-120M for 10 second, HyperTerminal will display the message of Nport WS-120M, Shown in the following figure: LAN Setting When the HyperTerminal display the message of Nport WS-120M as above image .
IP Mode Input 6,you can set the IP Mode, Shown in the following figure: Method Function Definition Static User defined IP address, Netmask , Gateway. DHCP DHCP Server assigned IP address, Netmask, Gateway, DNS,and Time Server.
If you select Static method, that you should set IP address, Netmask, Gateway manually. IP Address Input 1, you can set the new IP address, Shown in the following figure: Setting Factory Default Necessity 010.000.50.100 Required E.g., 192.168.18.1 (IP addresses of the form x.x.x.0 and x.x.x.255 are invalid. An IP address is a number assigned to a network device (such as a computer) as a permanent address on the network. Computers use the IP address to identify and talk to each other over the network.
Setting Factory Default Necessity E.g., 255.255.255.0 255.255.0.0 Required A netmask is used to group network hosts into subnets. When a packet is sent out over the network, the NPort WS-120M will use the netmask to check whether the desired TCP/IP host specified in the packet is on the same subnet as the NPort. If the address is on the same subnet, a connection is established directly between the NPort WS-120M and the host.
Setting Factory Default Necessity E.g., 192.168.18.254 010.000.000.254 Optional A gateway is a network gateway that acts as an entrance to another network. Usually, the computers that control traffic within the network or at the local Internet service provider are gateway nodes. NPort WS-120M needs to know the IP address of your network’s default gateway computer in order to communicate with the hosts outside the local network environment.
