NPort 4511 is a Programmable Communication Gateway (PCG) that provides a
stable, second stage platform for System Integrators (SI) or large-scale customers
to develop their own communication gateway functions and user interface.
The typical Communication Gateway (CG) is a special purpose server used to
transform between the serial and Ethernet interfaces. Communication Gateways
have one or more Ethernet port and one or more serial port, and are commonly
referred to as serial-to-Ethernet devices. Their main purpose is to provide serial
devices with a simple and straightforward means of connecting to an Ethernet
network. In this way, can transparently connect to a network, and can make use
of different types of transmission methods, including TCP Server, TCP Client,
and UDP.
