Overview
NPort 5400 Series serial device servers are designed to make your industrial serial devices Internet
ready instantly. The compact size of NPort 5400 device servers makes them the ideal choice for
connecting your RS-232 (NPort 5410) or RS-422/485 (NPort 5430/5430I) serial devices—such as
PLCs, meters, and sensors—to an IP-based Ethernet LAN, making it possible for your software to
access serial devices anywhere over a local LAN or the Internet.
NPort 5400 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 NPort’s Real COM/TTY drivers, software that works with COM/TTY ports can
be set up 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 5400 serial device servers support automatic IP configuration protocols (DHCP, BOOTP) and
manual configuration via NPort’s handy web browser console. Both methods ensure quick and
effective installation. And with NPort 5400’s Windows Utility, installation is very straightforward,
since all system parameters can be stored and then copied to other device servers simultaneously.
