Description
The Gent VIG-NPORT-100 is an RS232 to IP device for a Vigilon domain bridge. It is sold as a single unit, with two units required for each link. A converter joins each network node's domain IO card to the dedicated computer network through an RJ45 patch lead. Each converter has a mains-fed PSU and a 15 m limit on its serial connection to the network node. The customer supplies the IP addresses, with two network ports and two patch leads needed for the link. The serial connection uses RxD, GND and TxD terminals. This is the NPORT 100 option in the Vigilon Plus network arrangement.
VIG-NPORT-100 is the Gent NPORT 100 RS232 to IP device, supplied as one unit. Two units are required per link. In the Vigilon Plus domain-bridge arrangement, one converter connects to the domain IO card at each end of a dedicated computer network.
Read the full technical description
VIG-NPORT-100 is the Gent NPORT 100 RS232 to IP device, supplied as one unit. Two units are required per link. In the Vigilon Plus domain-bridge arrangement, one converter connects to the domain IO card at each end of a dedicated computer network.
The converter has RxD, GND and TxD serial connections on the panel side and an RJ45 patch connection on the network side. The serial connection between the network node and its converter has a 15 m maximum length, with the domain IOC set to 19200. A mains supply feeds the converter assembly's PSU.
The customer supplies the IP addresses. The two-end arrangement requires two network ports and two patch cables as well as the two NPORT units. These requirements describe the complete link; the VIG-NPORT-100 order code supplies a single unit.
Domain bridging connects two or more Vigilon Plus networks so events can be displayed at control panels or network nodes in the connected networks. NPORT provides the computer-network connection in this arrangement.

FAQs
How many VIG-NPORT-100 units are needed for one link?
Two VIG-NPORT-100 units are required for one link; each is supplied as a single unit. A converter at each end of the dedicated computer network connects to the domain IO card in the local network node. The complete link also requires two network ports and two RJ45 patch cables, with IP addresses supplied by the customer. Each converter has its own mains-fed PSU. The serial connection between each node and converter is limited to 15 m.
What IP and network information is needed for the NPORT link?
The customer supplies the IP addresses for the NPORT link. Two converter units connect through a dedicated computer network, with an RJ45 patch connection at each end. The complete arrangement requires two network ports, two patch cables and two NPORT units. On the serial side, each converter connects to the domain IO card in its network node using RxD, GND and TxD. The domain IOC is set to 19200, and the serial connection has a maximum length of 15 m.
What serial connection does VIG-NPORT-100 use at the network node?
The converter connects to the domain IO card using RxD, GND and TxD serial connections. The serial cable between the node and its NPORT converter is limited to 15 m, with the domain IOC set to 19200. An RJ45 patch cable connects the converter to the dedicated computer network. The second node uses the same arrangement at its end, with its own NPORT converter and domain IO card. Each converter assembly has a PSU fed from a mains supply.
How is the NPORT converter assembly powered?
Each NPORT converter assembly has a mains-fed PSU that supplies the NPORT device. The mains terminals are labelled L1 and N. Communications connections run separately to the domain IO card and the RJ45 network patch cable. This supply arrangement applies at both ends of the link, with one converter at each network node. The serial terminals are RxD, GND and TxD. Each serial connection is limited to 15 m, and the domain IOC is set to 19200.
Where does NPORT fit in a Vigilon Plus domain bridge?
NPORT provides the computer-network connection between domain IO cards in separate Vigilon Plus networks. One converter connects to each network node, with the pair joined through a dedicated computer network using RJ45 patch cables. Domain bridging connects two or more networks so events can be displayed at control panels or network nodes in the connected networks. Each VIG-NPORT-100 supplies one converter; a complete link requires two units, two network ports, two patch cables and IP addresses supplied by the customer.
