3. Hardware Introduction 
The NPort 5200 series of device servers are used to control 
RS-232/422/485 devices. NPort 5210/5210-T has two 8-pin RJ45 ports, 
both for the RS-232 interface. NPort 5230/5230-T has one 10-pin 
terminal block, with 5 pins used for one RS-232 port, and 5 pins used for 
one RS-422/485 port. NPort 5232/5232I/5232-T/5232I-T have one 10-pin 
terminal block, with 5 pins used for one RS-422/485 port, and 5 pins used 
for another RS-422/485 port.

Reset Button—Press the Reset button continuously for 5 sec to load 
factory defaults
: Use a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip or 
toothpick, to press the reset button. This will cause the Ready LED to 
blink on and off. The factory defaults will be loaded once the Ready LED 
stops blinking (after about 5 seconds). At this point, you should release 
the reset button.

4. Hardware Installation Procedure 
STEP 1: After removing NPort 5200 from the box, the first thing you 
should do is connect the power adaptor. Connect the 12-30 VDC power 
line with NPort 5200’s terminal block, or connect the DIN-Rail power 
supply with NPort 5200’s terminal block. 
STEP 2: Connect NPort 5200 to a network. Use a standard 
straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a Hub or Switch. When 
setting up or testing NPort 5200, you might find it convenient to connect 
directly to your computer’s Ethernet port. In this case, use a cross-over 
Ethernet cable. 
STEP 3: Connect NPort 5200’s serial port to a serial device. 
STEP 4: Placement Options 
 
 
In addition to placing 
NPort 5200 on a 
desktop or other 
horizontal surface, you 
may also make use of 
the DIN-Rail or Wall 
Mount options, as 
illustrated here.
