Overview
Network Readiness for up to Four Serial Devices
NPort¢ç 5430 device servers can conveniently and transparently connect up to four serial devices to an Ethernet, allowing you to network your existing serial devices with only basic configuration. Data transmission between the serial and Ethernet interfaces is bi-directional. By using NPort¢ç device servers, you not only protect your current hardware investment, but also allow for future network expansion. You can both centralize the management of your serial devices, and distribute management hosts over the network. Independent Operation Mode for each Serial Port
NPort¢ç 5430 device servers can be used to connect different devices for remote data polling, event handling, or data multicasting over a TCP/IP network. Each serial port on the NPort¢ç 5430 operates independently to provide maximum versatility. For example, port 1 can operate in Driver mode, port 2 in TCP Server mode, and ports 3 and 4 in TCP Client mode.
User-friendly LCD Panel for Easy Installation
An LCD panel is built into the NPort¢ç 5400¡¯s top panel, with four buttons for inputting data, configuration, and selecting the operation mode. The LCD panel displays the server name, serial number, and IP address, and can be used to enter or modify parameters such as IP address, netmask, and gateway.

Redundant DC Power Inputs
NPort¢ç 5400 device servers support redundant power sources and provide both a DC terminal block input and a DC power jack input. The two power inputs not only provide power redundancy, but also allow greater flexibility for use with different applications.

Adjustable Termination and pull High/Low Resistors
Termination resistors may be needed in some critical environments to prevent the reflection of serial signals. When using termination resistors, it is important to set the pull high/low resistors correctly to prevent the electrical signal from being corrupted. Since no set of resistor values is universally compatible with all environments, the NPort¢ç 5400 has four sets of DIP switches on the bottom panel to set the termination and pull high/low resistor values.
