NBS 2000 and NewBold 610 Network Kit with Lantronix UDS1100

The NBS 2000 and NewBold 610 network kit adds Ethernet TCP/IP connectivity to your embosser using a Lantronix UDS1100 device server and a specially adapted serial cable.

Designed for NBS 2000-M1, NBS 2000-M2, NBS 2000-M3, and NewBold 610 embossers, this kit retains the machine’s existing serial interface while carrying its communications over the local network. Datacarte lists this kit under product code DC6054.

The Lantronix UDS1100 acts as a gateway between the embosser’s serial interface and the Ethernet network. Specifically, the device server encapsulates serial data into packets and transports it over Ethernet through serial tunnelling.

🌐 TCP/IP Connectivity for NBS and NewBold Embossers

The NBS 2000 and NewBold 610 network kit helps integrate a serial embosser into an Ethernet infrastructure. Therefore, organizations can position the equipment according to production requirements instead of placing it immediately beside the host workstation.

The Lantronix UDS1100 provides one serial port and a 10/100 Ethernet RJ45 interface. Furthermore, it supports RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 communications. This kit, however, uses a serial cable adapted to the supported embossers.

The NBS Advantage 2000-M2 and NBS Advantage 2000-M3 provide an RS-232 serial communication interface. The device server can subsequently carry that serial communication over the TCP/IP network.

• Compatible with the NBS 2000-M3 embosser.
• Compatible with the NewBold 610 embosser.
• Serial cable adapted to the supported models.
• Converts serial communication for transport over Ethernet TCP/IP.
• Single-port Lantronix UDS1100 device server.
• 10/100 Ethernet RJ45 interface.
• Serial tunnelling over Ethernet.
• Configuration through a web browser, DHCP, Telnet, or serial utility.

✅ User Benefits

This kit provides a practical connectivity upgrade for serial embossers used in card-personalization environments.

• Modernize without replacing: retain the embosser while adding network connectivity.
• Install with greater flexibility: use the Ethernet infrastructure instead of a long direct serial connection.
• Use application-specific cabling: avoid uncertainty associated with generic serial-cable wiring.
• Integrate with the network: carry embosser communications over TCP/IP.
• Simplify management: configure the device server through supported Lantronix methods.
• Protect existing investments: extend the useful role of specialized production equipment.

📦 What’s Included

The kit includes:

• One Lantronix UDS1100 device server.
• One serial cable adapted to NBS 2000-M1, NBS 2000-M2, NBS 2000-M3, and NewBold 610 embossers.
• Device-server power supply.
• Lantronix installation guide.

The supplied cable uses wiring adapted to the listed embossers. A generic serial cable does not guarantee equivalent compatibility.

⚙️ NBS 2000 and NewBold 610 Network Kit Compatibility

The kit supports the following models:

• NBS 2000-M1
• NBS 2000-M2
• NBS 2000-M3
• NewBold 610

The compatibility covers adding an Ethernet TCP/IP communication path to the existing serial interface. However, the kit does not alter the embosser’s mechanical functions or card-personalization capabilities.

The Lantronix UDS1100 can also work with Com Port Redirector. This software redirects Windows applications designed for a COM port to the serial equipment connected through the device server.

🚀 How the Kit Works

The solution relies on three connections:

• The specialized cable connects the embosser to the serial port on the Lantronix UDS1100.
• The device server’s RJ45 port connects to the local Ethernet network.
• The device server transports serial data over the network through serial tunnelling.

Consequently, the application continues to communicate with the embosser’s serial interface while the Lantronix UDS1100 carries the data over Ethernet.
