Power Connection
Take the following steps to connect NPort Server Lite’s power adaptor.
1. Connect the power adaptor’s DC plug into NPort Server Lite’s “DC-IN”
jack.
2. Connect the power adaptor to an electrical outlet.
Note that there is no on/off switch. The device server automatically turns on
when plugged into the outlet.
If the device server is working properly, the LCD panel back light will glow
for a few seconds before shutting off, and the green PWR LED will also
light up, indicating that the device server is receiving power. The LCD panel
should look similar to the figure shown in Chapter 1.
Serial Connection
The model of NPort Server Lite that you purchased has either one (models
DE-301/331), two (models DE-302/332), or four (models DE-304/334) male
DB9 serial ports on the front panel. Depending on your serial device and serial
interfaces, there are two connection options:
1. For an RS-232 port, you may use a DB9 to DB9 cable to connect your serial
device to NPort Server Lite. Simply plug one end of the cable into one of the
ports on the front panel of the server, and plug the other end into your serial
device’s serial port.
2. Refer to Appendix A for details of NPort Server Lite’s DB9 pinouts, and
then make your own cable.
