"Everything is networked" is rapidly becoming the norm the world over. However, it takes tremendous manpower, precious time, and much experience, for equipment manufacturers to develop network technologies. Since most serial-comm based devices, such as card readers, come equipped with an RS-232 interface, NPort Express Module provides an immediate and easy solution for transferring RS-232 data across a TCP/IP network. By using NPort Express Module, your product can be value-added in no time, and the value of your existing equipment can be extended into the next generation.
NPort Express Module is a board-level product that equipment manufacturers can integrate into their products. NPort Express Module uses the TCP/IP protocol to convert from an auto-detecting 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface to an RS-232 interface. It can convert the RS-232 serial port on a traditional device into a 100 Mbps Ethernet port with TCP/IP protocol. This allows information to be shared on the Internet or Intranet. NPort Express Module not only supports TCP/IP, but also Telnet and RTelnet, making it possible for you to build applications based on the popular TCP/IP protocol. Moreover, NPort Express Module comes with Moxa''s Windows NT Comm driver, making it possible to run existing software on a networked PC that was originally using a direct serial connection.
