  • Page 16: Initial Ip Address Configuration

    Initial IP Address Configuration Chapter 3 When setting up your NPort 5600 for the first time, the first thing you should do is configure the IP address. This chapter introduces several methods to configure NPort’s IP address. Select the method that is the most convenient for you. For more details about network settings, see the Network Settings section from Chapter 5, Web Console Configuration.

    NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Initializing NPort’s IP Address 1. Determine whether your NPort needs to use a Static IP or Dynamic IP (either DHCP or BOOTP application). 2. If NPort is used in a Static IP environment, you can use NPort Administration Suite, ARP, Web Console, or Telnet Console to configure the new IP address.

    Choosing the Proper Operation Mode Chapter 4 In this chapter, we describe the various NPort 5600 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 26: Overview

    NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Overview NPort Device Servers network-enable traditional RS-232/422/485 devices, in which a Device Server is a tiny computer equipped with a CPU, real-time OS, and TCP/IP protocols that can bi-directionally translate 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 27: Tcp Server Mode

    NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual The important point is that Real COM Mode allows users to continue using RS-232/422/485 serial communications software that was written for pure serial communications applications. The driver intercepts data sent to the host’s COM port, packs it into a TCP/IP packet, and then redirects it through the host’s Ethernet card.

  • Page 28: Tcp Client Mode

    RS-232 port to the COM port of a PC or other type of computer, such as hand-held PDAs that have a serial port, and the serial device is connected to the RS-232 port of the other NPort 5600. The two NPort 5600 units are then connected to each other with a cross-over Ethernet cable, both are connected to the same LAN, or in a more advanced setup, they communicate with each other over a WAN (i.e., through one or more routers).

  • Page 29: Reverse Telnet Mode

    COM on NPort 5600 series. The driver establishes a transparent connection between host and serial device by mapping the IP:Port of the NPort 5600 series’ serial port to a local COM port on the host computer. (RFC2217 Mode supports 1 connection)

  • Page 30: Ppp Mode

    The PPP function enables dial-in access for users who need a remote access solution. When a user at a remote site uses PPP dial-in to connect to NPort 5600, NPort 5600 plays the role of a dial-in server. After the PPP connection is established, the user can remotely manage the NPort 5600.

  • Page 31: Web Console Configuration

    Web Console Configuration Chapter 5 The Web Console is the most user-friendly method available to configure NPort 5600 Series. This chapter will introduce the Web Console function groups and function definitions. The figures in this chapter were borrowed from the manual for NPort 5200, which uses the same Web Console user interface as NPort 5600.

  • Page 35: Network Settings

    Network Settings You must assign a valid IP address to NPort 5600 before it will work in your network environment. Your network system administrator should provide you with an IP address and related settings for your network. The IP address must be unique within the network (otherwise, NPort 5600 will not have a valid connection to the network).

An IP address is a number assigned to a network device (such as a computer) as a permanent address on the network.

  • Page 37: Snmp Settings

    NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual ATTENTION In Dynamic IP environments, the firmware will retry 3 times every 30 seconds until network settings are assigned by the DHCP or BOOTP server. The Timeout for each try increases from 1 second, to 3 seconds, to 5 seconds.

    NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual IP Address Report When NPort 5600 series products are used in a dynamic IP environment, users must spend more time with IP management tasks. For example, if NPort works as a server (TCP or UDP), then the host, which acts as a client, must know the IP address of the server.

    NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual This parameter defines the time interval during which NPort fetches the serial data from its internal buffer. If data is incoming through the serial port, NPort stores the data in the internal buffer. NPort transmits data stored in the buffer via TCP/IP, but only if the internal buffer is full or if the Force transmit time interval reaches the time specified under Force transmit timeout.
