Moxa’s NAT-102 Series Network Address Translation (NAT) devices are designed to simplify the IP configuration of machines in existing network infrastructure and provide basic cybersecurity protection for factory automation environments. The NAT-102 Series provides complete NAT functionality to adapt your machines to specific network scenarios without complicated, costly, and time-consuming configurations. These devices also protect the internal network from unauthorized access by outside hosts. With the rise of IIoT and Industry 4.0, production systems are moving towards a future where all devices are seamlessly connected. Data from all production processes needs to be available in real-time. This means all these systems need to be connected to a centralized management system. However, integrating new network devices into existing infrastructure is a big challenge. Performing IP configurations is complex and error-prone, and security vulnerabilities always remain a concern.
Industrial-grade and Ultra-compact Design
The NAT-102 Series’ rugged hardware makes these NAT devices ideal for deployment in harsh industrial environments, featuring wide-temperature models that are built to operate reliably in hazardous conditions and extreme temperatures of -40 up to 75°C. Moreover, the ultra-compact size allows the NAT-102 Series to be easily installed into cabinets.
Quick and User-friendly Access Control
The NAT-102 Series’ Auto Learning Lock feature automatically learns the IP and MAC address of locally connected devices and binds them to the access list. This feature not only helps you manage access control but also makes device replacements much more efficient.

How the NAT-102 Series Can Help You
Devices on the factory floor are generally isolated from the Internet. When connecting to an external control center, managing IP addresses for all these devices can be challenging due to a small pool of usable external IP addresses, and automation professionals being unfamiliar with IP configurations. As a result, when redesigning facility network connections for centralized management or when adding new machines, network administrators often encounter network disruptions caused by IP address conflicts.
Is configuring and managing the IP addresses of individual devices taking up a lot of time and resources?
With NAT-102 Series, you can:
- Simplify IP address management without the need for in-depth IT knowledge.
- Dynamically change the existing network topology for production line expansions.
- Ensure network access control to prevent potential cybersecurity threats.
