NPort® 5400 device servers can conveniently and transparently
connect up to four serial devices to an Ethernet network, allowing you
to network your existing serial devices with only basic configuration.
Data transmission between the serial and Ethernet interfaces is
NPort® 5400 device servers can be used to connect different devices
for remote data polling or event handling over a TCP/IP network. Each
serial port on the NPort® 5400 operates independently to provide
NPort® 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.
An LCD panel is built into the NPort® 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.
bi-directional. By using NPort® 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.
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.
Network Readiness for up to Four Serial Devices
Independent Operation Mode for each Serial Port
User-friendly LCD Panel for Easy Installation
Redundant DC Power Inputs
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® 5400 has four sets of DIP switches on the bottom panel to set
the termination and pull high/low resistor values.
Adjustable Termination and pull High/Low Resistors
