Standard TCP/IP Procotols and Choice of Operation Modes
NPort 5200 device servers can operate in TCP Server, TCP Client, or UDP operation mode, guaranteeing compatibility with software based on a standard network API (Winsock, BSD Sockets).
Real COM/TTY Drivers for Existing Software
Each NPort provides Real COM/TTY drivers, so software designed for interaction with COM/TTY ports can be immediately and effortlessly integrated into a TCP/IP network. This is an excellent hassle-free way of preserving your software investment and enjoying the advantages of networking your serial devices.
Control Remote Serial Devices with TCP/IP or Traditional COM/TTY Port
The specifying of the NPort 5200’s IP address and port number will enable a network socket’s API to obtain access to the attached serial device over the network from any host computer that supports TCP/IP. In the case of legacy Windows or Linux software that is COM or TTY-based, Moxa's COM/TTY drivers ensure a faultless means of operating over the network.
