Muntatge: Secure the device server to a wall or panel using appropriate screws through the integrated mounting brackets. Ensure adequate ventilation around the device.
Connect Serial Device: Connect your RS-232 serial device to the DB9 male serial port (Port 1) on the NPort 5110-1.
Connecteu el cable Ethernet: Connect a standard Ethernet cable from your network switch or router to the 10/100M Ethernet port on the NPort 5110-1.
Connectar l'alimentació: Connect the provided power adapter to the 12-48 VDC power input. The device will power on automatically.

4.2 Configuració inicial

The NPort 5110-1 can be configured using the NPort Windows utility, web console, or Telnet.

Install NPort Administrator Utility: Insert the documentation CD into your computer and install the NPort Administrator utility. This utility helps discover and configure NPort devices on your network.
Descobriu el dispositiu: Launch the NPort Administrator utility. It will scan your network for NPort devices. Once discovered, the NPort 5110-1 will appear in the list.
Assignar adreça IP: By default, the NPort may obtain an IP address via DHCP or have a default static IP. It is recommended to assign a static IP address for reliable network access. Use the utility to set the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway according to your network configuration.
Configure Serial Port Settings: Configure the serial port parameters (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits, flow control) to match your connected serial device.
Seleccioneu el mode de funcionament: Choose the desired operation mode (e.g., Real COM mode, TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP). Real COM mode is commonly used for transparent serial data transmission over Ethernet.

5. Funcionament

5.1 Real COM Mode Operation

In Real COM mode, the NPort 5110-1 creates a virtual COM port on your computer, allowing your existing serial applications to communicate with the remote serial device as if it were directly connected to your PC's COM port.

Install Real COM Driver: Use the NPort Administrator utility to install the Real COM driver on your Windows or Linux system.
Map Virtual COM Port: Map the NPort's serial port to a virtual COM port number on your computer (e.g., COM3, COM4).
Dispositiu d'accés: Your serial application can now open and communicate with the virtual COM port as usual. The NPort 5110-1 will transparently convert serial data to Ethernet packets and vice-versa.

5.2 Network Operation Modes

The NPort 5110-1 supports various network operation modes for different application requirements:

TCP Server: The NPort listens for incoming TCP connections from network hosts.
TCP Client: The NPort initiates a TCP connection to a specified network host.
UDP: The NPort sends and receives data using UDP packets.
Pair Connection: Two NPort devices can be configured to establish a direct serial-to-serial connection over Ethernet.

Refer to the detailed NPort User's Manual (available on the documentation CD or Moxa's website) for specific configuration steps for each operation mode.

6. Manteniment

The MOXA NPort 5110-1 is designed for reliable, low-maintenance operation. Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal performance and longevity:

Condicions ambientals: Ensure the device operates within its specified temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or moisture.
Neteja: Netegeu periòdicament l'exterior del dispositiu amb un drap suau i sec. No utilitzeu netejadors líquids ni en aerosol.
Actualitzacions de firmware: Comproveu la Moxa website periodically for firmware updates. Keeping the firmware up-to-date can improve performance, add new features, and resolve potential issues.
Font d'alimentació: Use only the power adapter supplied with the device or a compatible power source within the specified voltagrang e (12-48 VDC).
Connexions de cable: Regularly inspect all cable connections (serial, Ethernet, power) to ensure they are secure and free from damage.

7. Solució De Problemes

This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter with your NPort 5110-1.

Problema	Causa possible	Solució
Device not found by NPort Administrator utility.	Incorrect network connection. Firewall blocking discovery. El dispositiu no està encès. Incorrect IP subnet.	Verify Ethernet cable connection and network activity LEDs. Temporarily disable firewall or add exception for NPort utility. Check power connection and power LED. Ensure PC and NPort are on the same subnet for initial discovery.
Cannot communicate with serial device.	Incorrect serial port settings. Wrong operation mode. Serial cable issue. Application not configured correctly.	Verify baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits, and flow control match the serial device. Ensure the NPort is in the correct operation mode (e.g., Real COM, TCP Server). Check serial cable for proper wiring (straight-through vs. null modem) and integrity. Confirm your application is opening the correct virtual COM port or connecting to the correct IP address/port.
Network connection unstable.	Poor Ethernet cable. Congestió de la xarxa. Conflicte d'adreça IP.	Replace Ethernet cable with a known good one. Check network traffic and ensure sufficient bandwidth. Verify that the NPort's IP address is unique on the network.
