Embedded Device Servers

Build Serial to Ethernet Connectivity and Control into Your Products, Quickly and Simply

Neport® is a compact, integrated solution to web enable virtually any device with serial capability. By incorporating Neport to a product design, manufacturers can quickly and easily offer serial to Ethernet networking capability as a standard feature — so they can be accessed and controlled over the Internet.

Full Networking in a Tiny Package

Neport embedded device server removes the complexity – of designing network connectivity into a product by incorporating all of the required hardware and software inside a single embedded Ethernet solution. Smaller than your thumb, it includes all essential networking features, including a 10Base- T/100Base-TX Ethernet connection, proven operating system, an embedded web server, a full TCP/IP protocol stack, and 256-bit AES encryption for secure communications. This easy-to-embed networking processor module enables engineers to focus on their core competency while reducing development time and cost and increasing product value.

Integrated Network Communications Module

Neport is powered by our network processor SoC(Nechip), which includes a 10/100 MAC/PHY and 256 KB of SRAM. It features a built-in web server for communications with a device via a standard Internet browser. Web capability can be used for remote configuration, real-time monitoring or troubleshooting. Neport has 512 KB of onmodule Flash for web pages and software upgrades. It acts as a dedicated co-processor that optimizes network activities permitting the host microprocessor to function at maximum efficiency.

Building Intelligent Devices

With Neport you can embed intelligence into any electronic product for applications such as:

• Remote diagnostics and upgrades
• Asset tracking and replenishment
• Automation and control
• Power management
• Remote collaboration
• Personalized content delivery

Robust, Feature-Rich Software Suite

Eliminating the need to negotiate the intricacies of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or Internet Protocol (IP), Neport incorporates:

• Robust Real Time Operating System (RTOS)
• Full-featured network protocol stack
• Proven, ready-to-use serial-to-wireless application
• Built-in web server for device communication and configuration via a standard browser
