1-port Serial Device Servers

Features

Small size Real COM/TTY drivers for Windows and Linux Standard TCP/IP interface and versatile operation modes Easy-to-use Windows utilty for mass installation Built-in 15 KV ESD protection for all serial signals SNMP MIB-II for network management Configuration by Telnet or web browser Adjustable termination resistor for the RS-485 port

Overview

NPort 5100 device servers are designed to make industrial serial devices instantly Internet-ready. Their small size makes them ideal for connecting devices such as card readers or payment terminals to an

IP-based Ethernet LAN. With NPort device servers, your devices can be made accessible to your software from anywhere on the local LAN or the Internet.

Most Cost-Effective Serial-to-Ethernet Solution

Using serial-to-Ethernet to connect legacy serial devices to Ethernet is no longer a novel solution. Users now expect to be able to find device servers that are cost-effective, provide a broad selection of different

functions, and are high quality. With its full support of Microsoft and Linux operating systems and solid 5-year warranty, NPort 5100 is one of the best device server solutions in the worldwide industrial market.

Adjustable Termination and Pull High/Low Resistors

In some critical environments, termination resistors may be needed to prevent the reflection of serial signals. When using termination resistors, it is also important to set the pull high/low resistors correctly so that the electrical signal is not corrupted. Since no set of resistor

values is universally compatible for all environments, NPort 5100 device servers allow user adjustment of termination and pull high/low resistor values for each serial port, using jumpers.

Standard TCP/IP Interface and Versatile Operation Modes

The NPort 5110 can operate in TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP Server/Client, Pair Connection, or Ethernet Modem mode, ensuring

compatibility with software based on a standard network API (Winsock, BSD Sockets).

Real COM/TTY Drivers for Existing Software

With the Real COM/TTY drivers that are provided with each NPort, software designed for communication with COM/TTY ports can be instantly and seamlessly integrated into a TCP/IP network. This is

an excellent way to preserve your software investment and enjoy the benefits of networking your serial devices, with no fuss.

Easy Troubleshooting

NPort 5100 device servers support SNMP V2, which can be used to monitor all units over Ethernet. Each unit can be configured to send trap messages automatically to the SNMP manager when user-defined errors are encountered. For users who do not use SNMP manager, an

e-mail alert can be sent instead. Users can define the trigger for those alerts using MOXA’s Windows utility or the web console. For example, alerts can be triggered by a warm start, a cold start, or a change in password.
