It takes a long time to receive data from a series of serial devices that belong to an RS-485 daisy-chain. NPort 5130 can be used to get a faster response from each node, and help the computer send commands to each RS-485 device in the chain, but receive all of the data in a split second.

Mass Installation in one second
The Windows version of NPort Administrator provides a convenient mass installation function that allows users to send the same configuration to several device servers over the network. This function is particularly useful for applications that use several identically configured units of NPort 5130 that are distributed over the network. The mass installation function assigns a unique IP address to each unit, but all other configuration parameters are set with the same values.

Easy Troubleshooting
NPort 5130 supports SNMP V2, which can be used to monitor all NPort 5130 units over the Ethernet. When NPort 5130 encounters an error (as defined by the user) the NPort 5130 will automatically send a trap message to notify the SNMP manager. NPort 5130 also provides an email alert function for users who don't use SNMP manager. Users can define the trigger of those alerts with MOXA's Windows utility or web console. Alerts can be generated when NPort 5130 warm starts, cold starts, a password is changed, etc.
