NPort 5100A Series Introduction
Overview
NPort 5100A series device servers, which include the NPort 5110A, 5130A, 5150A, and P5150A, are designed
to make your industrial serial devices Internet ready instantly. The compact size of NPort 5100A device servers
makes them the ideal choice for connecting your RS-232/422/485 serial devices, such as card readers and
payment terminals, to an IP-based Ethernet LAN, making it possible for your software to access serial devices
located anywhere on a local LAN, or the Internet.
The NPort 5100A supports several operation modes, including TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP Server/Client, Pair
Connection, and Ethernet Modem, ensuring the compatibility of network software that uses a standard network
API (Winsock, BSD Sockets). In addition, NPort’s Real COM / TTY drivers allow you to set up your COM/TTY port
software 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 5100A device servers support automatic IP configuration protocols (DHCP, BOOTP) and manual
configuration via the handy web browser console. Both methods ensure quick and effective installation. And
with NPort 5100A’s Windows Utility, installation is very straightforward, since all system parameters can be
stored and then copied to other device servers simultaneously.
