Industrial serial device server

November 2001 Industrial Computer Hardware

NPort Server Pro is an industrial strength network-based serial device server for connecting 8/16 RS232 devices such as CNCs, PLCs, scales and scanners directly to a TCP/IP network (Ethernet or Internet).

Both 10 and 100 Mbps Ethernet connections are supported providing higher bandwidth, lower traffic impact and more layout flexibility.

NPort Server Pro has a professional cabinet design with Tx/Rx LEDs for all ports on the front panel and all of the 8/16 RJ45 phone jack connectors located on the rear panel. This makes NPort Server Pro suitable for standard 19" rack-mounting and simplifies its operation, maintenance and administration.

Features include:

* Windows native COM port compatible - existing applications can access NPort Server Pro's COM ports.

* Automatic network connection recovery.

* Auto-detectign 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface.

* Supports an advanced security mechanism to avoid unauthorised access.

* Comes with MOXA PComm Pro, a professional RS232 communication development tool, including an easy-to-use API, data scope utility and performance analyser.

* Convenient and simple installation wizard.

* Simple set-up and configuration with a user-friendly GUI - no host reboot required.

Benefits include:

* Ability to control RS232 devices located virtually anywhere via Ethernet or Internet.

* No need to change existing application software, saving hardware upgrade costs.

* A reliable network to serial solution.

Applications can be found in any area where remote and/or distributed serial device control is needed.
