Marketing description

NPort 5600 series provides a convenient and transparent way for Ethernet connection that not only protects your current hardware investment, but also ensures future network expandability. Perform some simple configuration tasks, and you'll be ready to network your existing serial devices. NPort 5600 can transparently transmit data bi-directionally between the serial and Ethernet interfaces. By using NPort 5610, you can centralize serial device management and distribute the management hosts at the same time.
NPort 5600 Series has a professional cabinet design, with Tx/ Rx LEDs for all ports on the front panel, and the RS-232 RJ45 connectors on the rear panel. This makes NPort 5600 Series suitable for standard 19-inch rack mounting, simplifying operation, maintenance, and administration.

Product features

• 19-inch rackmount device server
  NPort 5600 device servers come with Tx/Rx LEDs for the serial ports on the front panel, and the 16 RJ45 serial port connectors on the rear panel. This makes the NPort 5600 device servers suitable for standard 19-inch rack mounting, allowing you to simplify operation, maintenance, and administrative tasks.
• Real COM/TTY ports
  Real COM/TTY drivers are provided that make the serial ports on the NPort 5600 recognizable. In addition to supporting basic data transmission and reception, the NPort drivers also support the RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, and DCD control signals.
• LED indicators to ease your maintenance tasks
  The System LED, Serial Tx/Rx LEDs, and Ethernet LEDs (located on the RJ45 connector) provide a great tool for basic maintenance tasks and help engineers analyze problems in the field. The NPort 5600's LEDs not only indicate current system and network status, but also help field engineers monitor the status of attached serial devices.
• Adjustable termination and pull high/low resistors
  In some critical environments, termination resistors may be needed to prevent the reflection of serial signals. When using termination resistors, it is also important to set the pull high/low resistors correctly so that the electrical signal is not corrupted. Since no set of resistor values is universally compatible for all environments, the NPort 5600 has DIP switches on the bottom panel for setting the termination and pull high/low resistor values.
