  • Page 24: Choosing The Proper Operation Mode

    Choosing the Proper Operation Mode 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.

  • Page 25: Overview

    NPort 5600 Series Choosing the Proper Operation Mode 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 26: Tcp Server Mode

    NPort 5600 Series Choosing the Proper Operation Mode ATTENTION Real COM Mode allows several hosts to have access control over the same NPort. The driver that comes with your NPort controls host access to attached serial devices by checking the host’s IP address. Modify the Accessible IP Setting table when the legal IP address should be required in your application.

  • Page 27: Udp Mode

    NPort 5600 Series Choosing the Proper Operation Mode UDP Mode Compared to TCP communication, UDP is faster and more efficient. In UDP mode, you can multicast data from the serial device to multiple host computers, and the serial device can also receive data from multiple host computers, making this mode ideal for message display applications.

  • Page 28: Disabled Mode

    NPort 5600 Series Choosing the Proper Operation Mode Disabled Mode Setting the operation mode of a particular port to Disabled, disables that port. RFC2217 Mode RFC2217 is a standard driver that provides Virtual COM function. RFC2217 defines general com port control options based on telnet protocol.

    NPort 5600 Series IP Serial LIB Overview What is IP Serial Library? IP Serial Library is a Windows library with frequently used serial command sets and subroutines. IP Serial Library is designed to reduce the complexity and poor efficiency of serial communication over TCP/IP. For example, Telnet can only transfer data, but it can't monitor or configure the serial line's parameters.
