Introduction
The NPort® 5200A device servers are designed to make serial devices network-ready in an instant and give your PC software direct access to
serial devices from anywhere on the network. The NPort® 5200A device servers are ultra-lean, ruggedized, and user-friendly, making simple and
reliable serial-to-Ethernet solutions possible.

A Greener Serial-to-Ethernet Solution

The MiiNe is a small but powerful Arm-based serial-to-Ethernet SoC with RAM and Flash embedded. With the MiiNe inside, the NPort® 5200A
Series saves at least 50% on power consumption compared to existing solutions on the market, helping engineers meet the tough environmental
compliance challenges found in today’s industrial environments.

Surge Protection for Serial, Ethernet, and Power

Surge, which is typically caused by high voltages that result from switching and lightning transients, is a common threat to all electrical devices.
Moxa’s leading-edge surge immunity solution, which is applied to the NPort® 5200A’s serial, power, and Ethernet lines, is tested and proven
compliant with IEC 61000-4-5. This state-of-the-art surge protection provides a robust serial-to-Ethernet solution that can protect electrical
devices from voltage spikes and withstand electrically noisy environmental conditions.

3-Step Web-based Configuration

The NPort® 5200A’s 3-step web-based configuration tool is straightforward and user-friendly. The NPort® 5200A’s web console guides users
through three simple configuration steps that are necessary to activate the serial-to-Ethernet application. With this fast 3-step web-based
configuration, a user only needs to spend an average of 30 seconds to complete the NPort® settings and enable the application, saving a great
amount of time and effort.

COM Port Grouping

The NPort® 5200A’s COM Grouping function allows you to create a COM Group and redirect data from it to several physical COM ports on NPort
device servers. With COM Grouping, you will be able to control multiple physical serial ports simultaneously by operating only one COM port.
