    Choosing the Proper Operation Mode Chapter 4 In this section, we describe the various NPort 5110 operation modes. The options include an operation mode that uses a driver installed on the host computer, and operation modes that rely on TCP/IP socket programming concepts. After choosing the proper operation mode in this chapter, refer to Chapter 5 for detailed configuration parameter definitions.

  • Page 20: Overview

    NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual Overview NPort 5110 Serial Device Servers are used to network-enable traditional RS-232 devices. A Serial Device Server is a tiny computer equipped with a CPU, real-time OS, and TCP/IP protocols that can bi-directionally transfer data between the serial and Ethernet formats. Your computer can access, manage, and configure remote facilities and equipment over the Internet from anywhere in the world.

  • Page 21: Udp Mode

    NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual UDP Mode Compared to TCP communication, UDP is faster and more efficient. In UDP mode, you can unicast or multicast data from the serial device to one or multiple host computers, and the serial device can also receive data from one or multiple host computers, making this mode ideal for message display applications.

  • Page 22: Ethernet Modem Mode

    NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual Ethernet Modem Mode The Ethernet Modem operation mode is designed for use with legacy operating systems, such as MS-DOS, that do not support TCP/IP Ethernet. By connecting one NPort 5110’s serial port to the MS-DOS computer’s serial port, it is possible to use legacy software originally designed to transmit data via modem, but now transmit the data over the Ethernet.

When multiple hosts’ Real COM drivers open the serial port at the same time, the COM driver only provides a pure data tunnel without control ability.

  • Page 34: Tcp Server Mode

    NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual buffer is full or if the Force transmit time interval reaches the time specified under Force transmit timeout. The optimal Force transmit timeout depends on your application, but it must be at least larger than one character interval within the specified baud rate.
  • Page 35 NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual for the given time. After the connection is closed, NPort 5110 starts listening for another host’s TCP connection. This parameter defines the maintenance status as Closed or Listen for the TCP connection. The connection is closed if there is no incoming or outgoing data through the serial port during the specific Inactivity time.

  • Page 38 NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual ATTENTION The Inactivity time should at least be set larger than that of Force transmit timeout. To prevent the unintended loss of data due to the session being disconnected, it is highly recommended that this value is set large enough so that the intended data transfer is completed.
  • Page 39 NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual ( 10 (bits) / 1200 (bits/s) ) * 1000 (ms/s) = 8.3 ms. Therefore, you should set Force transmit timeout to be larger than 8.3 ms, so in this case, it must be greater than or equal to 10 ms.
