Grounding NPort 5400 Grounding and wire routing helps limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices. This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface such as a metal panel. SG: The Shielded Ground (sometimes called Protected Ground) contact is the left most contact of the 3-pin power terminal block connector when viewed from the ang

3 3 Chapter 3 Initial IP Address Configuration When setting up your NPort 5410/5430/5340I for the first time, the first thing you should do is configuring the IP address. This chapter introduces the method to configure NPort’s IP address. Select one of the initial IP Address configuration methods to configure NPort’s IP Address. For more details about network settings, see the Network Settings section from Chapter 5, Web Console Configuration. This chapter includes the following sectio

Initializing NPort’s IP Address 1. Determine whether your NPort needs to use a Static IP or Dynamic IP (either DHCP or BOOTP application). 2. If 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 NPort is used in a Dynamic IP environment, you can use LCM Display, NPort Administration suite, Web Console, or Telnet Console to configure NPort to get an IP address dynamicall

As you use the buttons to operate the LCM display, you will notice that with very few exceptions, moving up one level causes the bottom line of the display to move to the top line of the display. You will also notice that the bottom three options in level 2, and all of the options in level 3 have either a C or D attached. The meaning is as follows: • C = configurable I.e., you are allowed to change the setting of this option • D = display only I.e., the setting for this option is displ

Initial IP Address Configuration The part of the LCM operation that still requires some explanation is how to edit the configurable options. In fact, you will only encounter two types of configurable options. The first type involves entering numbers, such as IP addresses, Netmasks, etc. In this case, you change the number one digit at a time. The up cursor ( ) is used to decrease the highlighted digit, the down cursor ( ) is used to increase the highlighted digit, and the sel button is

NPort Administration Suite NPort Administration Suite consists of some useful utility programs that are used to configure and manage your NPorts. 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. ARP You can make use of the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command to set up an IP address for your NPort. The ARP command tells your computer to associate the NPort’s MAC add

Initial IP Address Configuration Telnet Console Depending on how your computer and network are configured, you may find it convenient to use network access to set up your NPort’s IP address. This can be done using the Telnet program. 1. From the Windows desktop, click on Start and then select Run. 2. Type telnet 192.168.127.254 (use the correct IP address if different from the default) in the Open text input box, and then click OK. 3. When the Telnet window opens, if you are prompted
