NPort 5400 Series User’s Manual Introduction

Overview

NPort 5400 Series device servers are designed to make your industrial serial devices Internet ready instantly. The compact size of NPort 5400 device servers makes them the ideal choice for connecting RS-232/422/485 serial devices—such as PLCs, meters, and sensors—to an IP-based Ethernet LAN, making it possible for your software to access serial devices anywhere over a local LAN or the Internet.

NPort 5400 serial device servers ensure the compatibility of network software that uses a standard network API (Winsock or BSD Sockets) by providing TCP Server Mode, TCP Client Mode, and UDP Mode. And thanks to the NPort’s Real COM/TTY drivers, software that works with COM/TTY ports can be set up to work over a TCP/IP network in no time. This excellent feature preserves your software investment and lets you enjoy the benefits of networking your serial devices instantly.

NPort 5400 serial device servers support automatic IP configuration protocols (DHCP, BOOTP) and manual configuration via the NPort’s handy web browser console. Both methods ensure quick and effective installation. And with the NPort 5400’s Windows Utility, installation is very straightforward, since all system parameters can be stored and then copied to other device servers simultaneously.
