10/100M
Ethernet Network Enabler for RS-422/485 Devices
Overview
NE-4120A offers
a complete Ethernet connection solution (TCP Server,
TCP Client, UDP) to network-enable your serial
devices—only 57 x 40 mm, or less than half the
size of your credit card—you can easily integrate
NE-4110S into your serial device to make the device
10/100M Ethernet-ready.
Industrial-proven, built-in
TCP/IP stack
NE-4120A’s
industrial-proven, built-in TCP/IP stack makes
it easy for your R&D engineers to network-enable
your serial device since they won’t need to put
a lot of effort into TCP/IP programming. The 10/100M
Ethernet auto-sensing interface lets you enjoy
the higher 100M speed when available. In addition,
NE-4120A's 4 GPIO pins provide ample design flexibility,
giving you the freedom to develop the features
your customers need. The NE-4120A 5V design is
better suited for today's equipment, and R&D
engineers can spend less effort implementing the
power circuit.
User-friendly configuration
options
Configuration
is done with a user-friendly Windows utility,
Web browser, telnet console, or serial console.
In addition, a Windows-based NECI (Network Enabler
Configuration Interface) Library is available
to help you develop your own Windows utilities.
Shorter time to market
The ready
to go design of NE-4120A allows you to get your
legacy serial device Ethernet-ready easily without
modifying the circuit, and get your product to
market in no time.
Programmable version
meets your customization needs
A C-programmable
version is also available upon request (please call for availability)
for customized applications such as protocol conversion
and front-end data processing. The NE-4120A Software
Development Kit (SDK) includes a Turbo C compiler
and more than 100 Application Program Interface
(API) functions for socket command and serial
port control, and self-explanatory example programs
are available to reduce your software developing
time.
An NE-4120A-ST Starter Kit that includes everything
you need to develop your application is also available.
The Starter Kit includes an evaluation board,
SDK, documentation, cables, and accessories.
