NE-4100 Series User’s Manual Introduction

Overview
NE-4100 Series Network Enablers are serial-to-Ethernet embedded modules that come in 3 types:
drop-in type (NE-4100T), RJ45 type (NE-4110S/A), and pin header type (NE-4120S/A). The
letters at the end of the model numbers indicate the serial signal supported by the product. T
represents TTL, whereas S and A represent RS-232 and RS-422/485, respectively.
NE-4100 Series products are very compact—less than half the size of a credit card. With such a
small size, these Embedded Network Enablers fit into almost any kind of serial device to make the
serial device 10/100M Ethernet ready. These products also come with a built-in TCP/IP stack for
fast integration with your serial devices. This means that your engineers no longer need to spend a
lot of time on TCP/IP programming, but instead can focus on developing other major features,
shortening your product’s time to market. The reliable TCP/IP communication firmware that
comes with NE-4100 Series products can be configured easily with a user-friendly Windows
utility, Web browser, serial console, or telnet console. In addition, a Windows-based NECI
(Network Enabler Configuration Interface) Library is available to help you develop your own
Windows utilities.
An integration kit and a complete development kit containing a development board, documents,
sample code, cables, and accessories are available for evaluation and development use.
