NPort IA5150/5250 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration
3-6
Serial Console (19200, n, 8, 1)
You may use the RS-232 console port to set up the IP address for NPort IA5150/5250. We suggest
using PComm Terminal Emulator, which is available free of charge as part of the PComm Lite
program suite, to carry out the installation procedure, although other similar utilities may also be
used.
ATTENTION
The Serial Console is an RS-232 port (port 1 for NPort IA5250).
Before you start to configure the NPort IA5150/5250 via serial console, turn off the power and
connect the serial cable from NPort IA5150/5250 to your computer’s serial port.
1. Connect NPort IA5150/5250’s serial port 1 directly to your computer’s male RS-232 serial
port.
2. From the Windows desktop click on Start Æ Programs Æ PComm Lite Æ Terminal
Emulator.
3. When the PComm Terminal Emulator window opens, first click on the Port Manager
menu item and select Open, or simply click on the Open icon.
4. The Property window opens automatically. From the Communication Parameter page,
select the appropriate COM port for the connection, COM1 in this example, and 19200 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
then click OK.
If you select Dumb Terminal as the terminal type, some of the console functions—especially
the “Monitor” function—may not work properly.
