Moxa Technologies NPort 6110 user manual Ethernet Installation, Software Installation

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-throughEthernet 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-overEthernet 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.
