Moxa Technologies 5400 Series Initializing the NPort’s IP Address, Factory Default IP Address

NPort 5400 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration

Initializing the NPort’s IP Address

1.Determine whether your NPort needs to use a Static IP or Dynamic IP (either DHCP or BOOTP application).

2.If the NPort is used in a Static IP environment, you can use LCM Display, NPort Administration Suite, ARP, Web Console, or Telnet Console to configure the new IP address.

3.If the NPort is used in a Dynamic IP environment, you can use LCM Display, NPort Administration suite, Web Console, or Telnet Console to configure the NPort to get an IP address dynamically with DHCP, DHCP/BOOTP, or BOOTP.

ATTENTION

Consult your network administrator on how to reserve a fixed IP address for your NPort 5400 in the MAC-IP mapping table when using a DHCP Server or BOOTP Server. In most applications, you should assign a fixed IP address to your NPort.

Factory Default IP Address

NPort products are configured with the following default private IP address:

Default IP address: 192.168.127.254

(IP addresses of the form 192.168.xxx.xxx are referred to as private IP addresses, since it is not possible to directly access a device configured with a private IP address from a public network. For example, you would not be able to ping such a device from an outside Internet connection. NPort applications that require sending data over a public network, such as the Internet, require setting up the server with a valid public IP address, which can be leased from a local ISP.)

LCM Display

We recommend using LCM display and four push buttons to configure the IP address at the first time installation.

Basic Operation

If the NPort is working properly, the LCM panel will display a green color. The red Ready LED will also light up, indicating that the NPort is receiving power. After the red Ready LED turns to green, you will see a display similar to:

N	P	5	4	1	0	_	6	1	4	0	5
1	9	2	.	1	6	8	.	1	2	7	.	2	5	4

This is where

•	NP5410	is the NPort’s name
•	61405	is the NPort’s serial number
•	192.168.127.254	is the NPort’s IP address
