Introduction
 

NPort Express DE-211 is a universal serial device server that can network-enable your industrial serial devices, such as information display boards, PLCs, flow meters, gas meters, CNC machines, and biometric identification card readers.

Seamless integration with your industrial serial devices and Ethernet TCP/IP network
DE-211 supports RS-232/422 and 4-wire/2-wire RS-485, and has a built-in terminator, making it fit for all types of industrial serial devices and serial communications topologies. The optional Power over Serial function allows DE-211 to be powered by DC power pins inside the DB25 serial cable that connects to the serial device, allowing DE-211 to be seamlessly integrated with connected serial devices.

Total software solution for serial-to-Ethernet applications
With the help of Windows Native COM driver technology, you can keep running existing COM-based software, such as HyperTerminal, without changing your software under Windows and Linux operating systems. In addition, DE-211 provides versatile Raw Connection Modes for sockets, such as TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP Server/Client, Pair Connection, and Ethernet Modem, making DE-211 a powerful and flexible tool for completing your important projects.

Easy installation and configuration with NPort Configurator
DE-211 NPort Management Suite provides easy IP configuration, including DHCP, MAC-IP mapping, and comes with enhanced easy configuration management and fast deployment capabilities. Friendly Graphical User Interface management utilities for Windows and user-configurable command mode are both supplied.
