NPort 5400 Series User’s Manual

Getting Started

ATTENTION

This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface such as a metal panel.

SG: The Shielded Ground (sometimes called Protected Ground) contact is the left most contact of the 3-pin power terminal block connector when viewed from the angle shown here.

Connect the SG wire to an appropriate grounded metal surface.

Connecting to the Network

Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the NPort 5400’s 10/100M Ethernet port and the other end of the cable to the Ethernet network. If the cable is properly connected, the NPort 5400 will indicate a valid connection to the Ethernet in the following ways:

yThe Ethernet LED maintains a solid green color when connected to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network.

yThe Ethernet LED maintains a solid yellow color when connected to a 10 Mbps Ethernet network.

yThe Ethernet LED will flash when Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received.

Connecting to a Serial Device

Connect the serial data cable between the NPort 5400 and the serial device.

LED Indicators

The top panels of the NPort 5400 have four LED indicators, as described in the following table.

	LED Name	LED Color		LED Function
		red	Steady on: Power is on and NPort is booting up.
		red	Blinking:	Indicates an IP conflict, or DHCP or BOOTP server did
				not respond properly.
	Ready	green	Steady on: Power is on and NPort is functioning normally.
		green	Blinking:	The NPort has been located by NPort Administrator’s
				Location function
		off	Power is off, or power error condition exists.
		orange	10 Mbps Ethernet connection.
	Ethernet	green	100 Mbps Ethernet connection.
		off	Ethernet cable is disconnected, or has a short.

	P1, P2,	orange	Serial port is receiving data.
	P1, P2,	green	Serial port is transmitting data.
	P3, P4	green	Serial port is transmitting data.
	P3, P4	off	No data is being transmitted or received through the serial port.

That’s why the native COM ports on the motherboard can work fast with this function call, but the NPort requires much more time. In order to accommodate other applications that require a faster response time, the new NPort driver implements a new “Fast Flush” option. Note that by default, this function is disabled 9.
