It takes a long time to receive data from a series of serial devices that belong to an RS-485 daisy-chain. NPort 5130 can be used to get a faster response from each node, and help the computer send commands to each RS-485 device in the chain, but receive all of the data in a split second.

Mass Installation in one second
The Windows version of NPort Administrator provides a convenient mass installation function that allows users to send the same configuration to several device servers over the network. This function is particularly useful for applications that use several identically configured units of NPort 5130 that are distributed over the network. The mass installation function assigns a unique IP address to each unit, but all other configuration parameters are set with the same values.
