NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL Series

Overview

Your NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL device server provides instant Ethernet network access to industrial devices
through a serial connection. Devices such as PLCs, meters, and sensors can use the device server to connect
to an IP-based Ethernet LAN, making the devices accessible from anywhere over a local LAN or the Internet.
The device server's space-saving design makes it ideal for many applications:
• Central monitoring and control of card readers, alarms, and electronic gate security systems in campus
dormitories
• Dial-up access to private company servers
• Management of server farm devices (routers, hubs, switches) through serial console ports
• Network access to medical diagnostic equipment
The device server provides different operation modes, such as TCP Server mode or UDP mode, to ensure
compatibility with software using standard network APIs (Winsock or BSD Sockets). Real COM and Real TTY
drivers are included to allow easy, transparent operation using virtual COM/TTY ports over a TCP/IP network.
The drivers help preserve your software investment by providing instant network access with minimum
disruption to existing systems.
Configuration can be done manually or using automatic IP protocols (DHCP or BOOTP) through the web console.
NPort Administrator, a Windows utility, is provided for straightforward installation as well as storage and
retrieval of all system parameters.
