NE-4100 Series User’s Manual 

Introduction 

 

1-2

Overview 

NE-4100 Series modules are a type of embedded device server or network enabler. An NE-4100 
Series module may be installed in or attached to a serial device to make it accessible from a 
network. There are three types of module offered: drop-in (NE-4100T), RJ45 (NE-4110S, 
NE-4110A), and pin header (NE-4120S, NE-4120A). The last letter of the model number indicates 
the serial signal supported by the module. T indicates a TTL connector, S indicates an RS-232 
connector, and A indicates an RS-422/485 connector. Each module includes 4 digital input/output 
channels, also known as DIO channels or GPIO channels. 

NE-4100 Series modules are very compact

—

less than half the size of a credit card. At such a small 

size, they can be installed into almost any serial device. Each NE-4100 Series module also comes 
with a built-in TCP/IP stack for fast integration. Engineers can spend less time on TCP/IP 
programming, and focus more on developing other major features, thereby shortening your 
product’s time to market. Modules may be easily configured 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. 

Each module comes with a complete development kit containing an evaluation board, documents, 
sample code, cables, and accessories.
