The NPort 5650 series is the first series of device servers that
Includes:: both copper & optical fiber models for the Ethernet connection. The fiber models come with a single-mode or multi-mode connection. The NPort 5650 provides a convenient & transparent way to set up serial to Ethernet connections that protect your current hardware investment, but also leave room for future network expansion. Perform some simple configuration tasks, & youll be ready to network your serial devices in no time. The NPort 5650 can transparently transmit data bi-directionally between the serial & Ethernet interfaces. You can either control all of your serial devices from one central location, or distribute the management hosts around the network. The system LED, serial Tx/ Rx LEDs, & Ethernet LED on the NPort help field engineers analyze field problems, & provide a simple way to ease monitoring tasks. NPort 5650s LEDs not only indicate current system & network status, but also assist field engineers in monitoring the status of attached serial devices.
