NPort Server 5410 is an industrial-strength network-based serial device server for connecting up to four RS232 devices like CNCs, PLCs, weighing scales, scanners and other devices directly to the 10/100Mbps Ethernet network running TCP/IP. Through the revolutionary built-in human interface with Liquid Crystal Module (LCM) for display data/status and buttons for inputting data or selecting mode, you can easily set up the server, such as IP address, net mask and gateway, and monitor the server status and data transmission. Eliminate the need to prepare additional PCs during installation. In addition to allowing serial devices to get networked, any host (PC Server or Workstation) without network access can also access remote serial device via adding NPort Server Lite to the existing serial port. In other word, a pair of 1-port NPort Server can be configured over Ethernet and serve as a transparent serial channel without platform and distance limitation.
