We cover the following topics in  this chapter:  ❑ Choosing a Location  • Desktop  • Wall or Cabinet  • DIN Rail  ❑ Network Connection  ❑ Power Connection  ❑ Serial Connection    Choosing a Location  There are three placement options available. NPort Server Lite can be:   • placed on a desktop,  • fixed to a wall or inside

                          Wall or Cabinet  The two metal brackets included with NPort Server Lite can be used to attach the  server to a wall, or the inside of a cabinet. Using three screws per bracket, first  attach the brackets to the bottom of the server (Fig. 2-1a). Next, use two screws  per bracket to attach the server to a wall or cabinet (Fig. 2-1b).       Figure 2-1a. NPort Server Lite—Wall Mounting Brackets (bottom  view)        Figure 2-1b. NPort Server Lite—Wall Mounting Brackets (top view)  2-2

                          DIN Rail  NPort Server Lite can also be mounted on a standard 35-mm DIN Rail. First, use  two screws to attach each of the two DIN Rail brackets to the metal attachment  plates (Figs. 2-2a, b).        Figure 2-2a. DIN Rail Mounting Brackets—Inner Placement        Figure 2-2b. DIN Rail Mounting Brackets—Outer Placement    Since the screw heads are beveled, and the holes in the plate are countersunk, the  tops of the screws will be flush with the metal plates. This allows the metal  plates (now

                          The next step is to attach NPort Server Lite to the Din Rail.   STEP 1: Insert the top of the DIN Rail STEP 2: Push the bottom of NPort  into slot A of the DIN Rail Server Lite so that the bottom  mount. of the DIN Rail snaps into  slot B of the DIN Rail mount.        To remove NPort Server Lite from the DIN Rail, simply reverse Steps 2 and 3  above by grasping the bottom of the NPort Express device server with both  hands, and then using your fingers to pull down slightly on the DIN Rail moun

                          Power Connection  Take the following steps to connect NPort Server Lite’s power adaptor.  1. Connect the power adaptor’s DC plug into NPort Server Lite’s “DC-IN”  jack.  2. Connect the power adaptor to an electrical outlet.    Note that there is no on/off switch. The device server automatically turns on  when plugged into the outlet.    If the device server is working properly, the LCD panel back light will glow  for a few seconds before shutting off, and the green PWR LED will also  light up,

Basic Operation  If the server is working properly, the LCD panel will display a yellow color for a  few seconds, after which it turns green. The green PWR LED will also light up,  indicating that the server is receiving power. You will see a display similar to:     NP61405 SN:61405 192.1

                          The buttons are manipulated in a manner similar to the way a modern cellular  phone operates. As you move through the various functions and setting options,  note that the top line shows the current menu or submenu name, and the bottom  line shows the submenu name or menu item which is activated by pressing the  SEL button.    Detailed Menu Options   The best way to explain all of NPort Server Lite’s LCD functions is to refer to  the tree graph shown in Fig. 3-1. There are three main levels—1,

                          The part of the LCD 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 used to move to the next digit.

                          To prevent this problem, be sure to set a password while installing NPort  Server Lite in Single Host mode. If a password is set, then only someone  who knows the password will be able to reinstall the NPort Server Lite  driver (either from the original or a different host).  If you would like your NPort Server Lite to allow access to more than one  host, first uninstall the Single Host Mode driver, and then reinstall the driver  in Custom Mode.
