Ground) contact is the left most contact of the 7-pin power 
terminal block connector when viewed from the angle

grounded metal surface. 
Connecting to the Network 
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to NPort IA5150/5250’s 10/100M Ethernet port and the 
other end of the cable to the Ethernet network. If the cable is properly connected, NPort 
IA5150/5250 will indicate a valid connection to the Ethernet in the following ways: 
y
  The Ethernet LED maintains a solid green color when connected to a 100 Mbps Ethernet 
network. 
y
  The Ethernet LED maintains a solid orange color when connected to a 10 Mbps Ethernet 
network. 
y
  The Ethernet LED will flash when Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received. 
NOTE 
NPort IA5150 and NPort IA5250 each have 2 Ethernet ports, which can be used to create an 
open chain of NPort IA device servers. You must be careful not to connect the Ethernet ports of 
the two device servers at the ends of the chain. In other words, NPort IA does NOT support a 
closed chain. 
Connecting to a Serial Device 
Connect the serial data cable between NPort IA5150/5250 and the serial device. Serial data cables 
are optional accessories for NPort.
