World's First LCM Display Serial Device Server
     
Specifications | Ordering Info | PDF Datasheet Download


 

Make Up to 4 RS-232 or RS-422/485 Serial Devices Internet Ready
  The NPort5400 Series provides a convenient and transparent way to connect serial devices to an Ethernet, with basic configuration all that's needed to network your existing serial devices. Protect your current hardware investment, but also ensure future network expandability. Moreover, the NPort 5400 series can transparently transmit data bi-directionally between the serial and Ethernet interfaces.You can simultaneously centralize your serial device management and distribute management hosts over the network.



 

Easy-to-use Serial Device Server
  The built-in LCM human-machine interface displays all configuration parameters,and includes 4 buttons for inputting data, or for selecting the operation mode, making it easy to set up server parameters, including IP address, netmask, and gateway address. Furthermore, you can also monitor server status and data transmission, eliminating the need to prepare additional PCs during installation.



 

Real COM/TTY Port
  The NPort 5400 Series works like an add-on multiport serial board to the Windows host, but with one major advantage—the TCP/IP network. With NPort's Real COM/TTY drivers, the serial ports on NPort 5400 series products are recognized as Real COM ports by the Windows operating system, or Real TTY ports by Linux environments. Basic transmit/receive data functions are provided, as well as RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, and DCD (input) control signals.



 

4 Independent Serial Ports Can be Configured for Different Operation Modes
  Versatile operation is ensured since different modes can be used for different serial ports. NPort 5400 Series products are suitable for connnecting different devices for remote data polling, event handling, or data multicasting via the TCP/IP network. For example, you can configure NPort 5400's port 1 for driver mode, port 2 for TCP server mode, and ports 3 and 4 for TCP client mode.


 
Features
 
  • Easy-to-use LCM (Liquid Crystal Module) interface for setting up IP address
  • Auto-detecting 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
  • 4 ports with RS-232 or RS-422/485 interface
  • Surge protection for all serial signals (15 KV ESD)
  • Supports TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP, and Real COM Modes
  • Supports web and telnet consoles
  • Supports SNMP MIB-II for network management
  • NPort 5430I has 2 KV isolation protection



Typical Applications

 

  Use only one IP address to control multiple serial devices over the Internet

To establish automatic or remote data acquisition, NPort 5400 series products can connect up to 4 serial devices with only one IP address. By specifing the IP address and the TCP port number, a host computer can access different serial devices over the Internet. For example, connect to 192.168.10.2:4001 to access data from NPort 5410's first serial port.



 

  Server sharing extends flexibility by allowing serial device management from a centralized connection

Different host computers can share the same NPort 5400 series to control different devices. For example, NPort 5410's ports 1 and 2 can be configured to Host A's COM3 and COM4, and NPort 5410's ports 3 and 4 can be configured for Host B's COM3 and COM4.



 

  Centralize RS-422/485 serial device control

Up to 31 RS-485 (2-wire or 4-wire) devices or up to 9 RS-422 (4-wire) devices can be connected via Ethernet with NPort 5430I's serial port. Use the Web console or NPort 5000 series Windows utility to configure each serial port for either RS-422 or RS-485.
