The Moxa NE-4110-ST is a starter kit for the NE-4100 series of compact embedded device servers. It is designed for evaluating and integrating NE-4100 modules into existing systems and enables a quick start for development. The kit is specifically designed for the NE-4110S and NE-4110A modules with RJ45 network interface, but is also compatible with other variants of the NE-4100 series. The hardware is designed for use in industrial environments where a reliable serial network connection is required.

Applications
This starter kit is intended for developers and system integrators who wish to connect serial devices to an Ethernet network. Typical applications include networking industrial controls, measuring instruments, sensors, or other serial end devices in factories, power supply systems, or building automation systems. The low power consumption and universal power supply via +5 VDC make the kit flexible to use, even in systems with limited power supply.

Features and Equipment in Detail
The kit includes an evaluation board that provides all necessary connections for interfacing with an NE-4100 module. It supports serial baud rates up to 230.4 kbps, which is sufficient for most industrial communication requirements. The Ethernet interface operates at 10/100 Mbps, ensuring stable and fast data transmission. Power supply is via a universal +5 VDC input, allowing the kit to be operated with various power supply units.

Technology Explained Simply
The integrated Ethernet interface enables direct connection of a serial device to a local network. The serial interface is connected to the NE-4100 module via the evaluation board, which then forwards the data over the Ethernet network. The typical power consumption of 1.5 W at 5 VDC ensures energy-efficient operation without compromising functionality. Support for baud rates up to 230.4 kbps covers the standard requirements for serial communication in industrial applications.

Compatibility and Accessories
The NE-4110-ST kit is specifically designed for the NE-4110S and NE-4110A modules with RJ45 connector. However, it is also compatible with other modules in the NE-4100 series, such as NE-4100T (drop-in) and NE-4120S/A (pin header). The kit itself does not include any modules.

Mounting and Installation
Installation is performed using the included evaluation board, which provides the necessary connections for the NE-4100 module. The included cables — including an Ethernet crossover cable and a null modem serial cable — facilitate connections. The universal power supply enables operation in various regions, supported by power cords for EU and US sockets. The quick installation guide provides step-by-step instructions for setup.

Operational Advantages
The combination of low power consumption, universal power supply, and compact design makes the starter kit particularly suitable for use in space-constrained or energy-efficient systems. The 5-year manufacturer’s warranty provides additional security when investing in the development environment. The quick setup via the evaluation board and provided cables significantly reduces setup time.

Scope of Delivery
The kit includes an NE-4100-ST series evaluation board, an Ethernet crossover cable, a null modem serial cable, a universal power supply, a power cord for EU sockets, a power cord for US sockets, a quick installation guide, and a warranty card.
