NPort Express DE-211 Introduction

NPort Express DE-211 provides a data communications solution for

connecting Windows and Linux hosts to asynchronous serial devices over

a TCP/IP Ethernet. You may connect your Windows host to a native

RS-232/422/485 serial port, or your PC-based Linux host to a real tty port,

through a TCP/IP Ethernet. With one asynchronous serial port connection

on one end, and a 10 Mbps Ethernet connection on the other, NPort

Express allows virtually any serial device to attach to a network. NPort

Express works like an add-on single-port serial board to your PC server,

but with one major advantage—the TCP/IP network. Since the host

communicates with the COM port on NPort Express over a TCP/IP network,

you are able to control your asynchronous serial device from virtually any

location.

Although it connects through the virtual link of the Ethernet, the port on

NPort Express is recognized as a real COM port by Windows or a real tty

port by Linux. NPort Express provides both the basic transmit/receive

data functions, as well as RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, and DCD control signals.

NPort Express can be used with your existing applications that support

serial communication, and come with a utility program providing a simple

step-by-step installation procedure and a maintenance wizard that gives

you easy access to your asynchronous device.
