Overview
The Moxa MiiNePort E series of serial-to-Ethernet embedded modules
comes with four models: two standard operating temperature models(MiiNePort E, MiiNePort E-H) and two wide operating temperature models(MiiNePort E-T, MiiNePort E-H-T). Moxa provides a starter kit for each
MiiNePort E series module; each starter kit contains an evaluation boardthat can be used to evaluate the modules and to develop your own
application. The following table lists the model names of all MiiNePort E
series modules, along with the model names of the corresponding starterkits.

Hardware Installation Procedure
Follow these steps to prepare the module and evaluation board for testing
and application development.
STEP 1: Plug the MiiNePort E module into the sockets on the top of theevaluation board.

ATTENTION
For detailed information about the pin assignments, wiring, LEDindicators, and board layouts, refer to Chapter 1 and 2 of theMiiNePort E Series User’s Manual.
STEP 2: Connect the 12 to 48 VDC power line with the evaluation
board’s power jack.
STEP 3: Switch on the power switch
STEP 4: Use an RJ45 Ethernet cable to connect the MiiNePort E module
to an Ethernet network.
STEP 5: Use the serial data cable to connect the evaluation board to aserial device.

Software Utility Installation Procedure
Use the following installation procedure for each MiiNePort E model:
Software Installation
For software installation, download the relevant utilities from Moxa's
website: https://www.moxa.com/en/support
1.

Start the Device Search Utility (DSU) setup program to begin theinstallation. When the Welcome window opens, click Next.

2.

Click Install to install program files in the default directory.

3.

The Installing window reports the progress of the installation.

4.

Click Finish to complete the installation.

Module Configuration
1.

Start the DSU program.

2.

Select the Search function from the function icons.

3.

After the search is finished, all MiiNePort E modules that were foundwill be shown in the search window. If you locate more than one
module connected to this network, refer to the MAC address on themodule(s) to determine the modules you wish to configure.

4.

Double-click on the MiiNePort E module you wish to configure; yourweb browser will be activated with the MiiNePort E’s web console.

5.

The default IP address of the MiiNePort E is 192.168.127.254, and thedefault login credentials:
username: admin
password: moxa

6.

Refer to Chapter 7 of the MiiNePort E Series User’s Manual for
additional configuration instructions.
