NPort 5200A Series
Overview
NPort 5200A series device servers are designed to make your industrial serial devices Internet ready instantly.
The compact size of NPort 5200A device servers makes them the ideal choice for connecting your
RS-232/422/485 serial devices, such as PLCs, meters, and sensors, 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 5200A 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 5200A 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 5200A's Windows Utility, installation is very straightforward, since all system parameters can be
stored and then copied to other device servers simultaneously.
