NPort Server Lite provides a data communications solution for connecting Windows hosts to multiple asynchronous RS-232 (models DE-301/302/304) or RS-422/485 (models DE-331/332/334) serial ports through a TCP/IP network. Each model has one (DE-301/331), two (DE-302/332), or four (DE-304/334) asynchronous serial port connections on one side, and one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection on the other, allowing any device that supports the asynchronous communications protocol to attach to a network. NPort Server Lite works like an add-on multiport serial board to the Windows host, but with one major advantage—the TCP/IP network. Since the Windows host communicates with the COM ports on NPort Server Lite over a TCP/IP network, you are able to control asynchronous serial devices from virtually anywhere in the world.

Although it connects through the virtual link of the Ethernet, the ports on NPort Server Lite are recognized as Real COM ports by the Windows operating system. NPort Server Lite provides both the basic transmit/receive data functions, as well as RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, and DCD control signals.

NPort Server Lite can be used with your existing applications that support serial communication. It also comes with a utility program providing a simple step-by-step installation procedure, and a maintenance wizard that gives you easy access to your asynchronous devices.
