Serial Devices Internet Ready
The NPort 5400 series provides a convenient and transparent
way to connect serial devices to an Ethernet, with basic
conguration 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 conguration 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 Congured
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 congure NPort 5400’s port
1 for driver mode, port 2 for TCP server mode, and ports 3
and 4 for TCP client mode.

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 specing 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 rst serial port.
Server sharing extends exibility 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 congured to Host A’s
COM3 and COM4, and NPort 5410’s ports 3 and 4 can be
congured 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 RS422 (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 congure each serial port
for either RS-422 or RS-485.
