NPort® 5400 device servers can conveniently and transparently 
connect up to four serial devices to an Ethernet, allowing you to 
network your existing serial devices with only basic configuration. 
Data transmission between the serial and Ethernet interfaces is 
NPort® 5400 device servers can be used to connect different devices 
for remote data polling, event handling, or data multicasting over 
a TCP/IP network. Each serial port on the NPort® 5400 operates 
NPort® 5400 device servers support redundant power sources and 
provide both a DC terminal block input and a DC power jack input. The 
two power inputs not only provide power redundancy, but also allow 
greater flexibility for use with different applications.
An LCD panel is built into the NPort® 5400’s top panel, with four 
buttons for inputting data, configuration, and selecting the operation 
mode. The LCD panel displays the server name, serial number, and IP 
address, and can be used to enter or modify parameters such as IP 
address, netmask, and gateway.
bi-directional. By using NPort® device servers, you not only protect 
your current hardware investment, but also allow for future network 
expansion. You can both centralize the management of your serial 
devices, and distribute management hosts over the network.
independently to provide maximum versatility. For example, port 1 can 
operate in Driver mode, port 2 in TCP Server mode, and ports 3 and 4 
in TCP Client mode.
Network Readiness for up to Four Serial Devices
Independent Operation Mode for each Serial Port
User-friendly LCD Panel for Easy Installation
Redundant DC Power Inputs
Termination resistors may be needed in some critical environments 
to prevent the reflection of serial signals. When using termination 
resistors, it is important to set the pull high/low resistors correctly 
to prevent the electrical signal from being corrupted. Since no set of 
resistor values is universally compatible with all environments, the 
NPort® 5400 has four sets of DIP switches on the bottom panel to set 
the termination and pull high/low resistor values.
Adjustable Termination and pull High/Low Resistors
