W2150A/W2250A
1 and 2-port serial-to-WiFi (802.11a/b/g/n) device servers with
wireless client
The NPort® W2150A and W2250A are the ideal choice for connecting
your serial or Ethernet devices, such as PLCs, meters, and sensors, to
a wireless LAN. Your communications software will be able to access
the serial devices from anywhere over a wireless LAN. Moreover,
the wireless device servers require fewer cables and are ideal for
applications that involve difficult wiring situations. In Infrastructure

Overview
802.11a/b/g/n Wireless Connectivity to Serial Devices
Wireless Fast Roaming Function
› Link any serial or Ethernet device to an IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n network
› 921.6 kbps baudrate for RS-232/422/485 transmissions
› Web-based configuration using built-in Ethernet or WLAN
› Enhanced surge protection for serial, LAN, and power
› Remote configuration with HTTPS, SSH
› Secure data access with WEP, WPA, WPA2
› Fast automatic wireless fast roaming
› Offline port buffering and serial data log
› Dual power inputs (1 screw-type power jack, 1 terminal block)
› Supports wireless clients
Data can be seamlessly transferred between the serial line, LAN, and
WAN, allowing the LAN and WLAN interfaces to be bridged together
with one IP address.
Wireless Client
For mission-critical applications, data from the serial device must not
be lost if the wireless connection goes down. The NPort® W2150A
and NPort® W2250A are designed to continue operating if the wireless
connection is disconnected temporarily. If the wireless connection is
restraining, or if the connection fails, the serial data from the serial
device will be queued in the built-in port buffer with over 10 MB of
storage. As soon as the wireless connection returns to normal, the
data stored in the buffer will be sent to its destination. In addition, a
serial data log can be enabled to make troubleshooting easier.
The serial data log buffer for both the NPort® W2150A and NPort®
W2250A is 64 KB per port.
