NPort W2150A/W2250A Series

Overview

In this chapter, we introduce the basic features and specifications of the NPort W2150A/W2250A and NPort
W2150A/W2250A-T, referred to collectively as the NPort W2150A/W2250A Series.
The NPort W2150A/W2250A Series of wireless device servers are used to connect RS-232/422/485 serial
devices or Ethernet devices, including PLCs, meters, and sensors, to a wireless LAN. Your communications
software will be able to access the serial devices or Ethernet devices from anywhere over a local LAN,
WLAN, or the Internet. Moreover, the WLAN environment offers an excellent solution for applications in
which the serial devices and Ethernet devices are moved frequently from place to place.
The NPort W2150A/W2250A supports both automatic IP configuration protocols (DHCP, BOOTP) and manual
configuration using a standard web browser. Both IP configuration methods ensure quick and effective
installation. In addition, a utility called "NPort Windows Driver Manager" makes port mapping easy.
The external antenna can be adjusted for maximum signal strength. You can also choose to use your own
antenna for additional flexibility and scalability. A signal strength indicator on the front panel makes it easier
for you to troubleshoot any connection problems.
The NPort W2150A/W2250A Series offers different operation modes to ensure compatibility with standard
network APIs, including TCP Server Mode, TCP Client Mode, and UDP Mode. Real COM/TTY drivers are
provided to allow legacy serial-based software to communicate over an IP network instantly. This preserves
your software investment while providing all the advantages of networking your serial devices.
For easier management, the NPort W2150A/W2250A includes features such as password authentication, IP
filtering, 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption, and SNMP support.
