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. 

LED Indicators—The top panels of NPort 5210-P/5230-P have four 
LED indicators, as described in the following table. 

red 

Steady on:  Power is on and NPort 5200-P 

series is booting up. 

Blinking: 

Indicates an IP conflict, or 
DHCP or BOOTP server did 
not respond properly. 

green

STEP 1: After removing NPort 5210-P/5230-P from the box, the first 
thing you should do is connect the power adaptor. Connect the 12-30 
VDC power line with NPort 5210-P/5230-P’s terminal block, or connect 
the DIN-Rail power supply with NPort 5210-P/5230-P’s terminal block.   

STEP 2: Connect NPort 5210-P/5230-P to a network. Use a standard 
straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a Hub or Switch. When 
setting up or testing NPort 5210-P/5230-P, 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 5210-P/5230-P’s serial port to a serial device. 

 
In addition to placing 
NPort 5210-P/5230-P 
on a desktop or other 
horizontal surface, you 
may also make use of 
the DIN-Rail or Wall 
Mount options, as 
illustrated here.
