LED Function
Power is on.
Power is off, or power error condition exists.
10 Mbps Ethernet connection.
Ethernet cable is disconnected, or has a short.
NPort Server system is ready.
NPort is requesting an IP address from the
DHCP or BootP server. After receiving the IP,
the LED will stop blinking.
Note: The LED will also blink when you press
the reset button; see page 1-5 for details.

Housing
DIN Rail
For many industrial applications, you will find it convenient to use the DIN Rail
attachments, as shown below.
STEP 1: Use 2 screws per ear to attach DIN Rail mounts to each of NPort
Expresss two ears.
2-2
Wall Mount
For many industrial applications, you will find it convenient to mount NPort
Express on the wall, using two screws, as indicated below.
STEP 1: Screw two screws, separated by 7.8 cm, into the wall. The heads of the
screws should be no greater than 6.5 mm in diameter, and the shafts
should be no greater than 3 mm in diameter. Do not screw the screws in
all the wayleave a space of about 2 mm to allow room for sliding the
NPort Express units ears between the wall and the screws.
To remove NPort Express from the wall mount, simply reverse Steps 2 and 3.

Switch SW1 controls the function of the serial port (ON, or up, for RS-232
Console connection, and down for Data Communication, such as when NPort
Express is connected to your serial device). Note that after changing the setting of
SW1, NPort Express will reboot to initialize the new setting. You must wait a few
seconds for the green Ready light to blink off and then on again, indicating that the
function of the serial port has been changed.
Switches SW2, SW3, and SW4 control the serial ports data communication
Interface Mode. (Note that RTS stands for Ready To Send and ADDC stands for
Automatic Data Direction Control.)
Keep the following points in mind when setting the DIP switches.
RS-232 Console
To use the serial port as a console connection, such as when using MOXA
PComm Terminal Emulator or HyperTerminal, set SW1 to the ON position.
Telnet Connection
Some setup procedures can be carried out through a Telnet connection,
during which data is transmitted through NPort Expresss Ethernet port.
However, you must set SW1 to the OFF position to establish a Telnet
connection.

Use a screwdriver to remove DE-211s outer protective case, and then locate
JP6, as shown in the figures below.
2.
By default, the top two pins of JP6 are shorted, which means that the built-in
120 termination resistor is disabled (completely removing the jumper from
the pins also disables the resistor).
3.
Use the jumper to short the bottom two pins of JP6 to enable the built-in 120
termination resistor.

Ethernet Installation
Connecting to a PC
In some cases, such as when configuring drivers and software, you will find it
convenient to hook NPort Express directly to your computers Ethernet card. To do
this, you will need to use a cross-over Ethernet cable. This type of Ethernet cable is
harder to find, although you can make your own cable by referring to the following
cable wiring diagram.
4-2
Power Connection
Plug the power adapters DC plug into NPort Expresss DC-IN jack.
2.
Note that there is no on/off switch. The server turns on as soon as the connected
power adapter is plugged into a live outlet. The red PWR light on NPort Expresss
top panel will glow to indicate that it is receiving power.
(1) To use the 12 30 VDC Power over Serial option, enable jumpers JP4 and JP5,
as illustrated in the following diagram. Note that when using the 12 30 VDC
option, power is supplied via pins 12 and 13:
5-2
To use the 5 VDC Power over Serial option, enable jumpers JP2 and
JP3, as illustrated in the following diagram. Note that when using the
5 VDC option, power is
supplied via pins 9 and
10:
Do NOT force the jumper to connect the lower pin of JP2 to the
upper pin of JP3, as shown in the diagram. Doing so could cause
serious damage to your DE-211, or to the serial device connected
to DE-211s serial port.
