Moxa NPort 5210A

Part #: M NPort-5210A

The Moxa NPort 5210A is a compact 2-port serial device server that connects RS-232 serial devices to a 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet network. It supports multiple operation modes including Real COM, TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP, Pair Connection, Reverse Telnet, and Ethernet Modem, making legacy serial devices instantly network-accessible.

Real COM drivers for Windows and Real TTY drivers for Linux allow existing serial-port software to communicate seamlessly over TCP/IP without code changes. A built-in watchdog timer provides automatic reboot recovery, and a buzzer and RTC support alert and scheduling functions. The device server supports SNMP MIB-II for network management.

Key Features

  • 2 x RS-232 serial ports (8-pin RJ45 connector)
  • 1 x 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet port (RJ45) with 1.5 kV magnetic isolation
  • Operation modes: Real COM, TCP Server/Client, UDP, Pair Connection, Reverse Telnet, Ethernet Modem
  • Real COM/TTY drivers for Windows, Linux, macOS, and Arm platforms
  • Built-in watchdog timer (WDT) for automatic reboot recovery

  • SNMP MIB-II, DHCP client, HTTP/Telnet configuration
  • Medical EMC compliance (EN 60601-1-2)
  • Metal housing, compact form factor
  • Desktop, wall, or DIN-rail mounting (optional kit)
  • 12-48 VDC power input (terminal block)
  • Operating temperature: 0 to 55°C
  • 5-year manufacturer warranty

Applications

  • Connecting legacy serial devices (PLCs, meters, sensors, barcode readers) to Ethernet
  • Industrial automation and SCADA systems
  • Remote serial device access over LAN or WAN
  • Multi-port serial-to-Ethernet consolidation
