NPort 5400 Series User’s Manual Getting Started Adjustable Pull High/low Resistors for the RS-485 Port In some critical environments, you may need to add termination resistors to prevent the reflection of serial signals. When using termination resistors, it is important to set the pull high/low resistors correctly so that the electrical signal is not corrupted. Since there is no resistor value that works for every environment, DIP switches are used to set the pull high/low resistor values f

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 C

NPort 5400 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration Take the following steps to use ARP to configure the IP address: 1. Obtain a valid IP address for your NPort from your network administrator. 2. Obtain the NPort’s MAC address from the label on its bottom panel. 3. Execute the ‘arp -s’ command from your computer’s MS-DOS prompt by typing: arp –s 192.168.200.100 00-90-E8-xx-xx-xx This is where 192.168.200.100 is the new IP address and 00-90-E8-xx-xx-xx is the MAC address for
