8/16-Port Serial Device Servers

NPort 5600 Series
World's Leading LCM Display Rackmount Serial Device Server

Overview

UC-7400 Series products are RISC-based communication platforms for your embedded applications. The UC-7400 Series features eight RS-232/422/485 serial ports, dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, PCMCIA, CompactFlash interface for flash disk, and wireless communication expansion.

The pre-installed Linux OS provides an open software operating system for your software program development. This means that the software written for a desktop PC can be easily ported to the UC-7400 platform by using a GNU cross compiler without software code modification. In fact, UC-7400 is a cost-effective and ideal replacement for many applications that would otherwise require an industrial PC or industrial computer.

19-in Rackmount Device Server

 

NPort 5600 has a professional cabinet design, with Tx/Rx LEDs for all ports on the front panel, and the 8/16 RJ45 connectors on the rear panel.This makes NPort 5600 suitable for standard 19-inch rack mounting, simplifying operation, maintenance, and administration.



Real COM/TTY Port

 

After installing the real COM/tty driver that comes with NPort 5600, the serial ports on NPort 5600 are recognized as Real COM ports by the Windows operating system, or real tty ports by Linux environments. NPort provides both the basic transmit/receive data functions, as well as RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, and DCD control signals.



Useful LED Indicators

 

The System LED, Serial Tx/Rx LEDs, and Ethernet LED on the connector help field engineers analyze field problems, and provide a simple way to ease monitoring tasks. NPort 5600's LEDs not only indicate current system and network status, but also assist the field engineer in monitoring the status of attached serial devices.

Features

 
  • Easy-to-use LCM (Liquid Crystal Module) interface for IP address configuration
  • Standard 19-inch rack-mountable
  • Auto-detecting 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
  • 16/8 RS-232 or RS-422/485 ports
  • Surge protection for all serial signals (15 KV ESD)
  • Supports TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP, and Real COM Modes
  • Supports web and telnet consoles
  • Supports SNMP MIB-II for network management


Typical Applications

 

1 NPort 5600 can be shared by several different host computers

Different Host computers can share the same NPort 5600 to control different devices. For example, ports 1, 2, and 3 can be configured to Host A's COM3, COM4, and COM5, and ports 14, 15, and 16 can be configured to Host B's COM3, COM4, and COM5. By using NPort 5600, you can simultaneously centralize serial device management and distribute the management hosts over the network.
