Ethernet Installation
There are two ways to use the 10/100BaseT Ethernet jack located on NPort
6110’s front panel:
1. For most applications using NPort 6110, you will simply plug one end of an
Ethernet cable into NPort 6110’s 100BaseT jack, and plug the other end into
an Ethernet hub/switch connected to your network. In this case, use a regular
straight-through Ethernet cable.
2. When configuring NPort 6110, you may connect NPort 6110 directly to your
computer’s Ethernet connector. To do this you will need to use a cross-over
Ethernet cable.
The amber Link light will flicker when NPort 6110 is properly connected to a
live Ethernet connection.
Software Installation
Follow the instructions given below to install Modbus Gateway Configurator,
the utility that allows you to configure and monitor multiple NPort 6110 units
over the network.
1. Insert the software CD-ROM that came with NPort 6110 into the CD-ROM
drive, and then double click on the Setup.exe icon that installs the NPort
Modbus Gateway Utility.
