Introduction
1.1 ND-8511(D) Overview
ADLINK ND-8511(D) is a 1-port RS-232/422/485 to Ethernet data
converter. It is a compact sized communication module that allows users to
control serial devices (RS-232/422/485) over a TCP/IP-based Ethernet
network.
Users may connect host computer systems (Windows98/ME/2000/XP or
Linux OSs) to a native serial port through a TCP/IP Ethernet. With one
asynchronous serial port connection on one end and a 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet connection on the other, ND-8511(D) also allows any device that
primarily supports the asynchronous communications protocol to attach to
a network. ND-8511(D) works like an add-on single-port serial board to PC
servers, but with advantages of the TCP/IP network protocol. With the ND-
8511(D), users are able to control asynchronous serial devices from
virtually any location.
Serial devices connects through a virtual Ethernet link of the, but are
recognized as a real COM port by Windows. ND-8511(D) can be used with
existing applications, and comes with a utility program providing a simple
step-by-step installation procedure and maintenance wizard that gives
users easy access to asynchronous device.

2 •Introduction
1.2 Protocol Support
The ND-8511(D) uses the Internet Protocol (IP) for network communications
and the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to assure that no data is lost
or duplicated. Other supported protocols are:
•ARP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, Telnet, TFTP, AutoIP, DHCP, HTTP, and
SNMP for network communications and management.
•TCP, UDP, and Telnet for connections to the serial port.
•TFTP for firmware and web page updates.
•IP for addressing, routing, and data block handling over the
network.
•User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for typical datagram applications in
which devices interact with other devices without maintaining a
point-to-point connection
•SMTP for e-mail transmission
1.3 Features
The ND-8511(D) connects serial devices to Ethernet networks using the IP
protocol family:
•ATM Machines
•CNC Controllers
•Data Collection Devices
•Universal Power Supply (UPS) Management Units
•Telecommunications Equipment
•Data Display Devices
•Security Alarms and Access Control Devices
•Handheld Instruments
•Modems
•Time/Attendance Clocks and Terminals
The ND-8511(D) connects devices through a TCP data channel or through
a Telnet connection to computers or another Device Server. Datagrams can
be sent by UDP. The ND-8511(D) contains a web [http] server that allows
presentation of custom content and can be easily configured through the
server.
