blink on and off. The factory defaults will be loaded once the Ready LED
stops blinking (after about 5 seconds). At this point, you should release
the reset button.

4. Hardware Installation Procedure
STEP 1: After removing NPort 5400 from the box, the first thing you
should do is attach the power adaptor.
STEP 2: Connect NPort 5400 to a network. Use a standard
straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a Hub or Switch. When
setting up or testing NPort 5400, you might find it convenient to connect
directly to your computer’s Ethernet port. In this case, use a cross-over
Ethernet cable.
STEP 3: Connect NPort 5400’s serial port to a serial device.
STEP 4: Placement Options
Wall or Cabinet Mounting
The NPort 5400 comes with two metal attachment plates for attaching the
embedded computer to a wall or the inside of a cabinet. First, use two
screws per bracket to attach the brackets to the rear of the 5400. Next, use
two screws per bracket to attach the 5400 to a wall or cabinet.
The heads of the screws should be less than 6.0 mm in
diameter, and the shafts should be less than 3.5 mm in
diameter, as shown by the figure at the right.
6.0 mm
3.5 mm
DIN-Rail Mounting
DIN-rail attachments can be purchased separately to attach the product to
a DIN-rail. When snapping the attachments to the DIN-rail, make sure
that the stiff metal springs are at the top.

5. Pull High/low Resistors Setting for the RS-485 Port
DIP switches on the bottom of NPort 5400 are used to set the pull
high/low resistor values for each serial port.
