  • Page 27: 4: Ip Address Configuration

    4: IP Address Configuration A valid IP address of the LS100W needs to be assigned before it starts to work in the user's network environment. A network system administrator may provide the user with this IP address setting information for the network. The IP address must be unique within the network. Otherwise, the LS100W will not have a valid connection to the network.

  • Page 28: Static Ip Configuration

    IP address is an identification number assigned to a computer as a permanent address on the network. Computers use IP addresses to identify and talk to each other on the network. Choose a proper IP address which is unique and valid for your network environment. A subnet represents all the network hosts at one geographic location, in one building, or on the same local area network.

  • Page 29: Dhcp

    4.2 DHCP 4.2.1 Overview Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communications protocol that allows network administrators to manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses centrally in an organization's network. DHCP allows a network administrator to supervise and distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically send a new IP address when a computer is plugged into a different place in the network.

  • Page 30: Ip Filtering

    4.3 IP Filtering The LS100W has an IP address based filtering feature to prevent unauthorized remote hosts from accessing LS100W . The user can allow one of the following scenarios by changing the parameter settings: - Only one host of a specific IP address can access the LS100W - Hosts on the a specific subnet can access the LS100W - Any host can access the LS100W The user may allow a host or a group of hosts to access the LS100W.

  • Page 31: 5: Host Mode Configuration

    5: Host Mode Configuration Host mode represents the operating session mode of the LS100W. Several host modes are available for the data communication between the serial device and remote hosts. Since TCP is connection- oriented protocol, server, client, server/client modes are provided. Table 5-1 shows the brief description of the host modes.

  • Page 33: Tcp Server Mode Operations

    Sync-Sent If the LS100W sends a connection request to a remote host, the state is changed from [Closed] to [Sync-Sent]. This state is maintained until the remote host accepts the connection request. This state is valid only in TCP client mode. Established It represents “an open connection”.
  • Page 34 2) Operations Serial data transfer When a session has been established, the LS100W reads the data from the serial port buffer till internal serial buffer is full or inter-character time interval reaches the time specified as inter- character timeout value. Then, it transfers the data to the IP address of the remote host. If there’ s no remote host connected to the LS100W, all the incoming data from the serial port are discarded.

  • Page 35: Tcp Server Mode Configuration

    5.1.2 TCP Server Mode Configuration To configure the LS100W to work as a TCP server, use ‘ set’command as follows: set host tcps listening_TCP_port inactivity_timeout + <CR> where, listening_TCP_port: Listening TCP port Inactivity_timeout: Inactivity timeout in seconds. Listening TCP port is the TCP port number through which remote host can connect a TCP session, and, send and receive data.

  • Page 36: Tcp Client Mode Operations

    5.2 TCP Client Mode Operations 5.2.1 Overview The LS100W works as a TCP client, and the default TCP state is [Closed] in this mode. The remote host will be either Ethernet-Serial communication devices acting as a TCP server or a socket program acting as a TCP server running on users’PC.
  • Page 37 Cyclic Connection It Cyclic Connection function is enabled, the LS100W will make an attempt to connect to the user- defined remote host at certain interval even if there’ s no incoming serial data from the device. If the remote host prepares certain data, it will be transferred to the serial device via its serial port after the connection is established.

  • Page 38: Tcp Client Mode Configuration

    5.2.2 TCP Client Mode Configuration To configure the LS100W to work as a TCP client, use set command as follows: set host tcpc dest_ip dest_port cyclic_connection_interval inactivity_timeout + <CR> where, dest_ip = destination IP address dest_port = destination TCP port cyclic_connection_interval = cyclic connection interval in minutes inactivity_timeout = inactivity timeout in seconds.
  • Page 39 [Listen] --> [Sync-Sent] --> [Established] --> [Data] --> [Closed] --> [Listen] The initial state is [Listen]. If there are data coming from the serial port, it will connect to the remote host as a TCP client. If there is incoming connection request from the remote host, it will accept the connection as a TCP server, and then transfer data through the serial port.

  • Page 40: Tcp Server/Client Mode Configuration

    5.3.2 TCP Server/Client Mode Configuration To configure the LS100W to work as a TCP server/client mode, use ‘ set’command as follows: set host tcpsc listening_port dest_ip dest_port cyclic_connection_interval inactivity_timeout where, listening_port = listening TCP port dest_ip = destination IP address dest_port = destination TCP port cyclic_connection_interval = cyclic connection interval in minutes inactivity_timeout = inactivity timeout in seconds.

  • Page 42 The purpose of the DTR/DSR pin is to emulate modem signal control or to control TCP connection state by using serial port signal. The DTR is a write-only output signal, whereas the DSR is a read-only input signal in the LS100W side. The DTR option can be set to one of three types: always high, always low or show TCP connection.
