Chapter 1 Introduction
Moxa’s NE-4100 Series of Serial-to-Ethernet Embedded Network Enablers are compact sized
embedded modules that let you network-enable your serial devices. 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 Network Enablers are serial-to-Ethernet embedded modules that come in 3 types:
drop-in type (NE-4100T), RJ45 type (NE-4110S/A), and pin header type (NE-4120S/A). The
letters at the end of the model numbers indicate the serial signal supported by the product. T
represents TTL, whereas S and A represent RS-232 and RS-422/485, respectively.
NE-4100 Series products are very compact—less than half the size of a credit card. With such a
small size, these Embedded Network Enablers fit into almost any kind of serial device to make the
serial device 10/100M Ethernet ready. These products also come with a built-in TCP/IP stack for
fast integration with your serial devices. This means that your engineers no longer need to spend a
lot of time on TCP/IP programming, but instead can focus on developing other major features,
shortening your product’s time to market. The reliable TCP/IP communication firmware that
comes with NE-4100 Series products can be configured easily 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.
An integration kit and a complete development kit containing a development board, documents,
sample code, cables, and accessories are available for evaluation and development use.

NE-4100T/NE-4100-ST
NE-4100T is a TTL-to-Ethernet drop-in type network enabler. It measures 45 × 36 mm, and has
a dual-in-line, 26-pin design, making it easy to integrate with your serial devices. NE-4100-ST is
the corresponding evaluation board that can be used to develop and test your own NE-4100
applications.

NE-4110 Series/NE-4110-ST
The NE-4110 Series has 2 models: NE-4110S and NE-4110A. NE-4110S is an
RS-232-to-Ethernet embedded module, and NE-4110A is an RS-422/485-to-Ethernet module.
Both modles are RJ45 type network enablers, and measure 57 × 40 mm. NE-4110-ST is the

NE-4120 Series/NE-4120-ST
NE-4120 Series modules are very similar to NE-4110 Series modules. The main difference is that
NE-4120 Embedded Network Enablers are pin header type. NE-4120 Series has 2 models:
NE-4120S and NE-4120A, both of which measure 57 × 40 mm.
NE-4120-ST is the testing and evaluation board that can be used with the two NE-4120 Series
embedded modules.

Wiring Requirements
This section describes some important safety precautions that you should pay attention to before
proceeding with any installation.
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your evaluation boards for the
NE-4100 Series modules.
Wiring Caution!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical
codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to
your equipment.
Temperature Caution!
Please take care when handling the evaluation boards. When plugged in, the evaluation boards’
internal components generate heat, and consequently the board may feel hot to the touch.
You should also pay attention to the following points:
# Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring
paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire
conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed
separately.
# You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be
kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can
be bundled together.
# Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
# Where necessary, it is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system.
Attaching NE-4100T to the Evaluation Board
Before connecting your NE-4100-ST to the power supply, network, and serial device, you first
need to attach NE-4100T to the NE-4100-ST evaluation board. In the center of the evaluation
boards, there is a square with one white inverted triangle (shown as black in the figure) on one of
its sides, and 2 rows of female sockets on the other two sides. The NE-4100T board also has a
white inverted triangle on one of its sides. When attaching your NE-4100T to NE-4100-ST, make
sure these 2 white inverted triangles are facing the same direction, as shown in the following
figure.

Circuit Pad for External Connection
The circuit pad located on the right side of the evaluation boards (NE-4100-ST and NE-4110-ST)
is used to develop additional application circuits. The circuit pad is circled in red in the figure
below. As shown in the second figure, the first row of the circuit pad is for connecting a 5V power
supply, whereas the second row is for connecting a 3.3V power supply. J3’s and J9’s header
pinouts are exactly the same, which means that J3’s pin 1 corresponds to J9’s pin 1, pin 2
corresponds to pin 2, etc. J4’s pinouts are the same as J10’s, which means that J4’s pin 1
corresponds to J10’s pin 1. The last row of the circuit pad is for grounding.

Connecting the Power
Connect the 12 VDC power line with the evaluation boards’ power jack. If the power is properly
supplied, the “Power” LED will show a solid red color until the system is ready, at which time the
“Ready” LED will show a solid green color.
Connecting to the Network
If you are using NE-4100T, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the NE-4100-ST’s RJ45
Ethernet port, and the other end of the cable to the Ethernet network. If you are using NE-4110
Series, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the NE-4110 Series board and the other end of the
cable to the Ethernet network. If the cable is properly connected, the RJ45 connector will indicate
a valid connection to the Ethernet in the following ways:
LAN
The green indicator LED in the upper right corner blinks when the cable is properly
connected to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network, and data is being transmitted.
LAN
The yellow indicator LED in the upper left corner blinks when the cable is properly
connected to a 10 Mbps Ethernet network, and data is being transmitted.
Connecting to a Serial Device
Connect the serial data cable between the evaluation boards (NE-4100-ST and NE-4110-ST) and
the serial device.
DI/O Settings
NE-4100 Series Embedded Network Enablers support 4 digital I/Os. All 4 digital I/Os are GPIO
(General Purpose I/O) that allow you to set to “digital output” or “digital input” mode by software.
On the evaluation board, LEDs are used to simulate output loading whereas the DIP switch
simulates an input device.
DI/O mode for physical wiring is selected by the DI/O mode jumper. For example, when the DI/O
mode of DI/O1 is set to DI, the circuit of DI/O1 on the NE-4100 series module is connected to
Digital Input DIP switch, digit 1. When the firmware of the NE-4100 series sets DI/O1 to digital
input mode, you can check the DI/O1 status with the Windows utility or Web browser. When you
change digit 1 of the switch, the changes appear on the Web browser.

Selecting the Interface
The various NE-4100 Series models support 2 different serial interfaces. NE-4110S and
NE-4120S support the RS-232 interface, and NE-4110A and NE-4120A support the RS-422/485
interface. For this reason, we provide an interface selectable jumper on the NE-4110-ST and
NE-4120-ST evaluation boards, which are used with NE-4110 and the NE-4120 Series,
respectively.
For example, if you are using NE-4110S or NE-4120S modules, use the jumper to select the
RS-232 interface, as shown below.

If you are using NE-4110A or NE-4120A, use the jumper to select the RS-485 interface, as shown

Note that jumper JP2 on the NE-4110A and NE-4120A modules are for RS-485 (2-wire) and
RS-422 (4-wire) settings. Short JP2 on the NE-4110A/4120A modules to set the serial interface to
RS-485 (2-wire) mode. Leave JP2 open to set the serial interface to RS-422 (4-wire) mode.

Chapter 4 Choosing the Proper Operation Mode
In this section, we describe the various NE-4100 Series operation modes. The options include an
operation mode that uses a driver installed on the host computer, and operation modes that rely on
TCP/IP socket programming concepts. After choosing the proper operating mode in this chapter,
refer to subsequent chapters for detailed configuration parameter definitions.
