Chapter 1. Introduction

The NE-4100 Series embedded device server is a line of compact modules that act as network enablers. NE-4100 Series modules can be installed in or on a serial device to connect it to an Ethernet network, allowing you to gain network access to any electronic device that has a serial port. All NE-4100 Series modules come equipped with built-in TCP/IP protocols for fast integration, saving you time and energy on programming.

The following topics are covered in this chapter.

NE-4100 Series User’s Manual Introduction

Overview

NE-4100 Series modules are a type of embedded device server or network enabler. An NE-4100 Series module may be installed in or attached to a serial device to make it accessible from a network. There are three types of module offered: drop-in (NE-4100T), RJ45 (NE-4110S, NE-4110A), and pin header (NE-4120S, NE-4120A). The last letter of the model number indicates the serial signal supported by the module. T indicates a TTL connector, S indicates an RS-232 connector, and A indicates an RS-422/485 connector. Each module includes 4 digital input/output channels, also known as DIO channels or GPIO channels.

NE-4100 Series modules are very compact—less than half the size of a credit card. At such a small size, they can be installed into almost any serial device. Each NE-4100 Series module also comes with a built-in TCP/IP stack for fast integration. Engineers can spend less time on TCP/IP programming, and focus more on developing other major features, thereby shortening your product’s time to market. Modules may be easily configured with a user-friendly Windows utility, web browser, serial console, or Telnet console. In addition, a Windows-based NECI (Network Enabler Configuration Interface) library is available to help you develop your own Windows utilities.

Each module comes with a complete development kit containing an evaluation board, documents, sample code, cables, and accessories.
