Connecting the Hardware
This section describes how to connect NPort purposes. We 5000AI- M12 to serial devices for first time testing
cover Wiring Requirements, Connecting the Power, Connecting to the Network, Connecting to a
Serial Device, and LED Indicators.
Wiring Requirements
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the po
wer cord before installing and/or wiring your NPort 5000AI- M12 Series.
Wiring Caution!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes
dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your
equipment.
Temperature Caution!
Please take care when handling NPort
5000AI M12 5000AI M12- . When plugged in, NPort - ’s internal
components generate heat, and consequently the casing may feel hot to the touch. When installed with other
components, make sure that there is at least 2 cm clearance on all sides of NPort
5000AI- M12
in order to allow
proper heat dissipation.
NPort 5000AI M12 Series- Getting Started

You should observe the following:
• Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must
cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To
avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
• You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate.
The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
• Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
• Where necessary, it is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system.
Hardware Installation Procedure
Panel/Wall Mounting
Mounting the NPort 5000AI-M12 on the wall requires 3 screws. Please use the 3 screws included.
STEP 1: Prepare the 3 screw holes on the wall according to the positions of the 3 screw holes on the device server shown on the mounting
dimension diagram.
STEP 2: Use one screw to go through the top-middle screw hole on the device server and screw it into the wall.
STEP 3: - -Screw in the remaining 2 screws through the bottom left and bottom right holes on the device server to the wall.
NOTE
Please use the screws (
M3 x 40 mm) . included
DIN- Rail Mounting (optional)

3. Initial IP Address Configuration
When setting up your NPort for the first time, the first thing you should do is5000AI M12- configure the IP
address. This chapter introduces the methods that can be used to configure the device server’s IP address.
Select one of the initial IP Address configuration methods to configure NPort 5000AI-M12’s IP
Address. For more details about network settings, see the Network Settings section from Chapter 5, Web
Console Configuration.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:
’ Initializing the NPort s IP Address
Factory Default IP Address
NPort Administration Suite
ARP
Telnet Console
Serial Console (19200, n, 8, 1)
NPort 5000AI M12 Series- Initial IP Address Configuration

Initializing the NPort’ s IP Address
1. Determine whether your NPort needs to use a Static IP or Dynamic IP (either5000AI- M12 DHCP or BOOTP
application).
2. If the NPort 5000AI M12- is used in a Static IP environment, you can use NPort Administration Suite,
ARP, Web Console, Telnet Console, or Serial Console to configure the new IP address.
3. If the NPort 5000AI- M12 is used in a Dynamic IP environment, you can use NPort - 5000AI M12
Administration Suite, Web Console, Telnet Console, or Serial Console to configure NPort 5000AI- M12 to get
an IP address dynamically with DHCP, DHCP/BOOTP, or BOOTP.
ATTENTION
Consult your network administrator on how to reserve a fixed IP address for your N
Port 5000AI M12-
in the
MAC
-
IP mapping table when using a DHCP Server or BOOTP Server. In most applications, you should assign
a fixed IP address to your NPort
5000AI- . M12
Factory Default IP Address
NPort - 5000AI M12 products are configured with the following default private IP address:
Default IP address: 192.168.127.254
(IP addresses of the form 192.168.xxx.xxx are referred to as private IP addresses, since it is not possible to
directly access a device configured with a private IP address from a public network. For example, you would not
be able to ping such a device from an outside Internet connection. NPort 5000AI M12- applications that require
sending data over a public network, such as the Internet, require setting up the server with a valid public IP
address, which can be leased from a local ISP.)
NPort Administration Suite
NPort Administration Suite consists of some useful utility programs that are used to configure and manage your
NPort 5000AI M12- .
See Chapter 5 for details on how to install NPort Administration Suite, and how to use this suite of
useful utilities to set up IP addresses and configure your NPort - 5000AI M12 Series serial device
servers.
ARP
You can make use of the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command to set up an IP address your NPort for
5000AI M12 5000AI- . The ARP command tells your computer to associate the NPort -M12’s MAC address with
the intended IP address. You must then use Telnet to access the NPort 5000AI M12- , at which point the device
server’s IP address will be reconfigured.
ATTENTION
In order to use this setup method, both your computer and NPort
5000AI M12- must be
connected to the same
LAN. Or, you may use a cross
- - over Ethernet cable to connect the NPort 5000AI M12 directly to your
computer’s Ethernet card. Before executing the ARP command,
- your NPort 5000AI M12
must be configured
with the factory default IP address
- (192.168.127.254), and your computer and the NPort 5000AI M12
must
be on the same subnet.

4. Choosing the Proper Operation Mode
In this chapter, we describe the various NPort 5000AI M12- operation modes. The options include an operation
mode that use a driver installed on the host computer, and operation modes that rely on TCP/IP socket s
programming concepts. After choosing the proper operation mode in this chapter, refer to Chapter 5 for
detailed configuration parameter definitions.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:
Overview
Real COM Mode
RFC2217 Mode
TCP Server Mode
TCP Client Mode
UDP Mode
Pair Connection Mode
Ethernet Modem Mode
Reverse Telnet Mode
Disabled Mode
NPort 5000AI M12 Series- Choosing the Proper Operation Mode
4-3
ATTENTION
Real COM Mode allows several hosts to have access control over the same NPort
5000AI- . M12
The driver that
comes with your NPort
5000AI- M12 controls host access to attached serial
devices by checking the host’s IP
address. Refer to Accessible IP Set
tings in Chapter 5 for more details.
RFC2217 Mode
RFC2217 mode is similar to Real COM mode in that a driver is used to establish a transparent connection
between a host computer and a serial device by mapping the serial port on the NPort to a local 5000AI M12-
COM port on the host computer. RFC2217 defines general COM port control options based on the Telnet
protocol. Third party drivers that support RFC2217 are widely available on the Internet and can be used to
implement Virtual COM mapping to your serial port(s). NPort 5000AI M12-
TCP Server Mode
In TCP Server mode, NPort
5000AI- M12 is configured with a
unique IP:Port address on a
TCP/IP network. NPort
5000AI
- M12 waits passively to be contacted by the host
computer,
allowing the host computer to establish a
connection with and get data from the serial
device. This
operation mode also supports up to
8 simultaneous
connections, so that multiple hosts
can collect data from the
same serial device
— at the same time.
As illustrated in the figure, data tr
ansmission proceeds as
follows:
1. The host requests a connection from the NPort
5000AI M12- configured for TCP Server Mode.
2. Once the connection is established, data can be
transmitted in both directions from the host to the —
NPort 5000AI M12- , and from the NPort 5000AI- M12 to
the host.
TCP Client Mode
In TCP Client mode,
the NPort 5000AI-M12can actively
establish a TCP connection to a pre
-defined host computer
when serial data arrives.
After the data has been transferred,
the NPort can
automatically disconnect from the host computer
by using the
TCP alive check time
or Inactivity time settings. Refer to
chapter 5 for more details.
As illustrated in the figure, data transmission proceeds as
follows:
1. The NPort configured for TCP Client Mode - 5000AI M12
requests a connection from the host.
2. Once the connection is established, data can be
transmitted in both directions from the host to the —
NPort 5000AI M12- , and from the NPort 5000AI- M12 to
the host.
NPort 5000AI M12 Series- Choosing the Proper Operation Mode
4-4
UDP Mode
Compared to TC
P communication, UDP is faster and more
efficient. In UDP mode, you can not only unicast but also
multicast data from the serial device to multiple host
computers, and the serial device can also receive data
from multiple host computers, making this mode i
deal for
message display applications.
Pair Connection Mode
Pair Connection Mode employs two in tandem, and can be used to remove the - NPort 5000AI M12 units
15- - - meter distance limitation imposed by the RS 232 interface. One NPort 5000AI M12 is connected from its
RS-232 port to the COM port of a PC or other type of computer, such as a hand-held PDA, and the serial device
is connected to the RS 232 port of the other NPort . The two NPort are then - 5000AI-M12 5000AI- M12 units
connected to each other with a cross over Ethernet cable, both are connected to the same LAN, or in a more -
advanced setup, they communicate with each other over a WAN (i.e., through one or more routers). Pair
Connection Mode transparently transfers both data and modem control signals (although it cannot transmit the
DCD signal) between the two NPort sdevice ervers.
Ethernet Modem Mode
Ethernet Modem Mode is designed for use with legacy operating systems, such as MS-DOS, that do not support
TCP/IP Ethernet. By connecting one ’s serial port to the MSof NPort 5000AI M12- - DOS computer’s serial port, it
is possible to use legacy software originally designed to transmit data via modem, but now transmit the data
over the Ethernet.
NPort 5000AI M12 Series- Choosing the Proper Operation Mode
4-5
Reverse Telnet Mode
Console management is commonly used by connecting to Console/AUX or COM ports of routers, switches, and
UPS units in listen . Rtelnet works the same as RAW mode that only one TCP port is ed to after booting up. The
system then waits for a host on the network to initiate a connection. The difference is that the RAW mode does
not provide elnet. If the connected devices need to use the conversion function provided by T the CR/LF
conversion function when controlling, then users must choose Rtelnet mode.
Disabled Mode
When the Operation Mode for a particular port is set to Disabled, that port will be disabled.

addresses of the form
x.x.x.0 and x.x.x.255
are invalid.)
192.168.127.254 Required
An IP address is a number assigned to a network device (such as a computer) as a permanent address on the
network. Computers use the IP address to identify and talk to each other over the network. Choose a proper IP
address which n is unique and valid i your network environment.
Netmask
Setting Factory Default Necessity
E.g., 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0 Required
A subnet mask represents all of the network hosts at one geographic location, in one building, or on the same
local area network. When a packet is sent out over the network, the will use the subnet NPort 5000AI M12-
mask to check whether the desired TCP/IP host specified in the packet is on the local network . If the segment
address is on the same network segment as the , a connection is established directly from NPort 5000AI-M12
the NPort 5000AI-M12. Otherwise, the connection is established through the given default gateway.
Gateway
Setting Factory Default Necessity
E.g., 192.168.1.1 None Optional
A gateway is a network gateway that acts as an entrance to another network. Usually, the computers that
control traffic within the network or at the local Internet service provider are gateway nodes. NPort
5000AI M12- needs to know the IP address of the default gateway computer in order to communicate with the
hosts outside the local network environment. For correct gateway IP address information, consult the network
administrator.
IP configuration
Setting Factory Default Necessity
Static, , DHCP
DHCP/BOOTP, BOOTP
Static Required
ATTENTION
In Dynamic IP environments, the firmware will retry 3 times every 30 seconds until network settings are
assigned by the DHCP or BOOTP server. The Timeout for each try increases from 1 second, to 3 seconds, to
5 seconds. If the DHCP/BOOTP Server is un , the firmware will use the default IP addressavailable
(192.168.127.254), Netmask, and Gateway for IP settings.
DNS server 1 / DNS server 2
Setting Factory Default Necessity
(IP addresses of the
form x.x.x.0 and
x.x.x.255 are invalid.)
None Optional
When the user wants to visit a particular website, the computer asks a Domain Name System (DNS) server for
the website’s correct IP address, and then the computer uses the response to connect to the web server. DNS
is the way that Internet domain names are identified and translated into IP addresses. A domain name is an
alphanumeric name, such as moxa.com, that it is usually easier to remember. A DNS server is a host that
translates this kind of text based domain name into the numeric IP address used to establish a TCP/IP -
connection.
In order to use NPort 5000AI- ’M12 s DNS feature, you need to configure the DNS server. Doing so allows NPort
5000AI M12 5000AI M12- ’to use a host s domain name to access the host. NPort - provides DNS server 1 and

use when DNS sever 1 is unavailable.
NPort NPort 5000AI M12- plays the role of DNS client, in the sense that the 5000AI M12- will actively query the
DNS server for the IP address associated with a particular domain name. functions that NPort 5000AI- M12
support domain name are Time server, Destination IP Address in TCP Client mode, Mail Server, SNMP

None Optional
S -pecify the location string for SNMP agents such as the NPort 5000AI M12. This string is usually set to the
street address where the NPort 5000AI M12- is physically located.
IP Address Report
When NPort 5000AI M12- products are used in a dynamic IP environment, users must spend more time with IP
management tasks. For example, if as a server (TCP or UDP), then the host, the NPort 5000AI M12- works
which acts as a client, must know the IP address of the server. If the DHCP server assigns a new IP address to
the NPort 5000AI- M12, the host must have some way of determining the NPort 5000AI M12- ’s new IP address.
NPort 5000AI- M12 products help out by periodically reporting their IP address to the IP location server, in case
the dynamic IP has changed. The parameters shown below are used to configure the Auto IP report function.
There are two ways to develop an “Auto IP report Server” to receive the NPort 5000AI- ’M12 s Auto IP report.
1. Use the NPort Administrator’s IP Address Report function.
2. The Auto IP report protocol can automatically receive the Auto IP report on a regular basis, and is also
available to help you develop your own software. Refer to Appendix E for the “Auto IP report protocol”.

time. the connection is the NPort After closed, 5000AI M12- starts listening for another Real COM driver
connection from another host.
Max connection
Setting Factory Default Necessity
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 1 Required
Max connection is usually used when the user needs to receive data from different hosts simultaneously. The
factory default is 1. In this case, only one specific host can access this port of the , and the NPort 5000AI-M12
Real COM driver on that host will have full control over the port.
Max Connection 1:
Allow onlys ’1 host s Real COM driver to open the specific NPort 5000AI M12- serial port.
Max Connection 2 to 8:
Allows ’2 to 8 host s Real COM drivers to open the specific serial port, at the same time. NPort 5000AI M12-

ATTENTION
When “
Max connection , this means that ” is set greater than 1 the NPort 5000AI M12- will be using a “multi
connection application” (i.e.,
Up to 8 hosts are allowed access to the port at the same time). When using a
multi connection application,
the NPort 5000AI M12- will use the serial communication parameters set in
the
console.
All of the hosts connected to that port must use the same serial settings. If
one of the hosts opens
the COM
-port with parameters that are different from the NPort 5000AI M12’s console setting, data
communication may not work properly.
Ignore jammed IP
Setting Factory Default Necessity
No or Yes No Optional
By default, when Max connection is greater than 1, and the serial device is transmitting data, if any one of the
connected hosts is not responding, it will wait until the data has been transmitted successfully before
transmitting the second group of data to all hosts. If you select Yes under Ignore jammed IP, the host that
is not responding will be ignored, but the data will still be transmitted to the other hosts.
Allow driver control
Setting Factory Default Necessity
No or Yes No Optional
If Max connection is greater than 1, NPort will ignore driver control commands from all connected hosts.
However, if you set , control commands will be accepted. Note that sinceAllow driver control to Yes the
NPort 5000AI M12- may get configuration changes from multiple hosts, the most recent command received will
take precedence.
Packing length
Setting Factory Default Necessity
0 to 1024 0 Optional
Default = 0, The Delimiter Process will be followed, regardless of the length of the data packet. If the data
length (in bytes) matches the configured value, the data will be forced out. The data length can be configured
for 0 to 1024 bytes. Set to 0 if you do not need to limit the length.

ATTENTION
Delimiter 2
is optional. If left blank, then Delimiter 1 alone trips clearing of the buffer.
If the size of the serial
data received is greater than 1 KB, the NPort
5000AI M12-
will automatically pack the data and send it to the
Ethernet port.
However, to use the deli
miter function, you must at least enable Delimiter 1. If Delimiter 1 is
left blank and Delimiter 2 is enabled, the delimiter function will not work properly.

Delimiter + 1 or Delimiter + 2: The data will be transmitted when an additional byte (for Delimiter +1), or
an additional 2 bytes (for Delimiter +2) of data is received after receiving the Delimiter.
Strip Delimiter: When the Delimiter is received, the Delimiter is deleted (i.e., stripped), and the remaining

0 ms
Optional
0 : Disable the force transmit timeout.
1 to 65535: Forces the NPort 5000AI M12- ’s TCP/IP protocol software to try to pack serial data received during
the specified time into the same data frame.
This parameter defines the time interval during which fetches the serial data from its the NPort 5000AI M12-
internal buffer. If data is incoming through the serial port, the NPort 5000AI- M12 stores the data in the internal
buffer. The NPort smits data stored in the buffer via TCP/IP, but only if the internal buffer is 5000AI M12- tran
full or if the Force transmit time interval reaches the time specified under Force transmit.
The optimal Force transmit timeout depends on your application, but it must be at least larger than one
character interval within the specified baudrate. For example, assume that the serial port is set to 1200 bps, 8
data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. In this case, the total number of bits needed to send a character is 10 bits,
and the time required to transfer one character is
. (10 (bits) / 1200 (bits/s)) * 1000 (ms/s) = 8.3 ms
Therefore, you should set Force transmit timeout to be larger than 8.3 ms, so in this case, it must be greater
than or equal to 10 ms.
If the user wants to send a series of characters in the same packet, the serial device attached to the NPort
5000AI M12- should send that series of characters during a time interval less than the Force transmit timeout
for the NPort , and the total length of data must be less than or equal to the NPort 5000AI-M12 5000AI M12- ’s
internal buffer size. The serial communication buffer size for the NPort 5000AI M12- is 1 KB per port.

1 to 65535: Forces the NPort 5000AI M12- ’s TCP/IP protocol software to try to pack serial data received during
the specified time into the same data frame.
This parameter defines the time interval during which fetches the serial data from its the NPort 5000AI M12-
internal buffer. If data is incoming through the serial port, the NPort 5000AI- M12 stores the data in the internal
buffer. The NPort transmits data stored in the buffer via TCP/IP, but only if the internal buffer is 5000AI M12-
full or if the Force transmit time interval reaches the time specified under Force transmit timeout.
The optimal Force transmit timeout depends on your application, but it must be at least larger than one
character interval within the specified baudrate. For example, assume that the serial port is set to 1200 bps, 8
data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. In this case, the total number of bits needed to send a character is 10 bits,
and the time required to transfer one character is
(10 (bits) / 1200 (bits/s)) * 1000 (ms/s) = 8.3 ms.
Therefore, you should set Force transmit timeout to larger than 8.3 ms, so in this a value case, it must be
greater than or equal to 10 ms.

This parameter defines the time interval during which fetches the serial data from its the NPort 5000AI M12-
internal buffer. If data is incoming through the serial port, the NPort 5000AI- M12 stores the data in the internal
buffer. - The NPort 5000AI M12 transmits data stored in the buffer via TCP/IP, but only if the internal buffer is
full or if the Force transmit time interval reaches the time specified under Force transmit timeout.
The optimal Force transmit timeout depends on your application, but it must be at least larger than one
character interval within the specified baudrate. For example, assume that the serial port is set to 1200 bps, 8
data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. In this case, the total number of bits needed to send a character is 10 bits,
and the time required to transfer one character is
(10 (bits) / 1200 (bits/s)) * 1000 (ms/s) = 8.3 ms.
Therefore, you should set Force transmit timeout to be larger than 8.3 ms, so in this case, it must be greater
than or equal to 10 ms.
