Use this video to learn how to install a MOXA device driver for connection to a bender for linking to a virtual COM port through a network.

This video assumes that the MOXA device is completely programmed and attached to the bender network through a LAN cable or Wireless connection.

Programming the MOXA from the factory

Follow these steps to program a MOXA NPort with factory settings (the videos above assume that this has already been performed).

  1. Plug a standard patch cable from the setup computer to the MOXA device.

  2. Set the IP address of the computer port to 192.168.127.1

  3. Load an internet browser and type "192.168.127.254" in the address box and press Enter.

  4. The MOXA page should display.

  5. Click on Network Settings.

  6. Change the IP address to the new network scheme. (Often like this: 192.168.1.nn)

  7. Click on Submit.

  8. Click on Save/Restart.

  9. Set the IP address of the computer port to 192.168.1.1

  10. Follow the steps in the video above to add a COM port

  11. Use the Advanced Tubular Loopback Tester Software tester software with a loopback plug to determine if the MOXA will communicate. (See how to create a loopback plug here: Loopback Adapter Wiring Specification

  12. Power the MOXA down then back up to be sure it retains the IP addressed programmed.

  13. Run the Loopback test again.
