NPort 5200 Series Introduction
Overview
The NPort 5200 Series serial device servers are designed to make your industrial serial devices Internet ready
in no time. The compact size of NPort 5200 device servers makes them the ideal choice for connecting your
RS-232 (NPort 5210/5230/5210-T/5230-T) or RS-422/485 (NPort 5230/5232/ 5232I/5230-T/5232-T/5232I-T)
serial devices—such as PLCs, meters, and sensors—to an IP-based Ethernet LAN, making it possible for your
software to access serial devices from anywhere over a local LAN or the Internet.
The NPort 5200 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 5200 Series’ Real COM/TTY drivers, software that works with COM/TTY ports can be set up to work
over a TCP/IP network, without modifying your serial COM software applications. This excellent feature
preserves your software investment and lets you enjoy the benefits of networking your serial devices instantly.
The NPort 5200 serial 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 the NPort 5200’s Windows Utility, installation is very straightforward, since all system parameters can be
stored and then copied to other device servers simultaneously.
