Page 5: Introduction
If you are wondering why you bought a Diplomat jrNS then Chapter 4, Operation, is where we tell of all the things that the jrNS can do and how to drive it. You will probably want to read this chapter anyway. - Page 6 Getting Started Quickly Port B Port A BNC socket 10Base-2 D25 Male RJ45 socket 10Base-T Green LED Red LED Yellow LED (Power) Power jack socket 8V DC Diplomat jr Model jrNS-CDF User Guide Issue No. 1 (08/07)

Page 7: Getting Started Quickly
Getting Started Quickly When you hold the Diplomat jrNS in your hand so that the Diplomat jr logo is oriented in the normal reading orientation, the Network end is to the left and the Serial interface is to the right. For documentation purposes we refer to the Serial interface as Port A and the selected network interface as Port B. -
Page 8: Configuration
Configuration Pinouts and Links Because the Synchronous Serial interface of the Diplomat jrNS has been designed to be general purpose some of the 25 pins on the D25 male plug have a variable function. It is therefore essential that connection is only made to those signals that are needed for a particular application and to no others. -
Page 9: Remote Configuration
Remote Configuration All Diplomat jrNx can be configured remotely using one of two programs or a local Diplomat jrNA. It is necessary in the case of the Diplomat jrNS and Diplomat jrNP variants as they do not have an asynchronous RS232 port. -

CTRL/P at any time will return to the local Diplomat jrNA Main Menu if one is being used. The remote Diplomat jrNS will be left in whatever state it was in. Although the remote menu displays look the same as if the configuration was being done locally they are actually performed in parallel with whatever the remote Diplomat jrNS was doing at the time. -
Page 11: Configuration Bytes
They are directly analogous to ordinary switches but only exist in the Diplomat’s memory. In the Diplomat jrNS there are four sets of Silicon Switches associated with four Configuration Bytes. Configuration Byte A controls the major characteristics of Port A and Configuration Byte B controls the major characteristics of Port B. - Page 12 Configuration Configuration Byte A Specifies Protocol on Port A Name Description of Switch BMBLK [111] - Mask to extract blocking size [000] - Do not use blocking [001] - Forward when 1 byte collected [010] - Forward when 10 bytes collected [011] - Forward when 50 bytes collected [100] - Forward when 100 bytes collected [101] - Forward when 200 bytes collected...

SERVER IP ADDRESS (LOCAL) CLIENT Now that the basic configuration of the Diplomat jrNS has been performed we can safely move on to setting up the Network Parameters. Typing ‘N’ at the Main Menu will bring up the Network Control Menu. - Page 16 ‘.’ until the field you want to change is reached and then simply typing the new decimal value and hitting Return will update the value. At this point, contact will be lost with the remote Diplomat jrNS. The Host jrN should now be re-configured so that it uses the new Remote IP address to re-establish contact with the remote jrNS.

Sub-Network broadcast IP address. In this case the Diplomat jrNS does not issue any automatic ARP requests. The Diplomat jrNS may be set up as a UDP Client or Server, or a TCP Client or Server. The following paragraphs describe the properties of each set up. -
Page 19: Tcp Client/Server
Operation When the Diplomat jrNS is configured as a UDP Client it will transmit a UDP packet over the network as soon as it has some qualified data to send. It will use the Remote Host address and Server Port address held in its tables to address the packet and will use its own Client Port address for the Source Port address field in the transmitted packet. -
Page 20: Normal Serial Port Operation
Operation Normal Serial Port The model CDF uses Character Delimited Framing to handle the data Operation flow on the synchronous port. In its idle mode - that is when there is no data available from the network - the synchronous port asserts pin 4 (RTS) OFF if bit BCRTS=0 or permanently ON if BCRTS=1. -
Page 21: Special Cases
If 10Base-2 is selected then it also blinks when a packet is transmitted. Basic Error Conditions There is very little that can fail on the Diplomat jrNS that will not result in complete unit failure necessitating return of the unit to the factory for repair. -

Page 23: Network Trouble Shooting
<CR> Returns to Previous Menu There are two commands that are most useful in probing the network to find out if the Remote Host that the Diplomat jrNS is trying to work with is actually reachable. If the Remote Host is on another network segment and it is necessary to go via the Default Gateway then the link to the Gateway should be tested first. - Page 24 The BOOTP option remains undefined. Typing 'R' causes the Diplomat jrNS to broadcast a RARP request. If a RARP server exists on the network and if it responds with an IP address for the Diplomat jrNS, then that address will be used as the Diplomat jrNS's IP address.

Page 25: Error Messages
Error Messages There are three types of messages, those originating from error conditions detected by the Diplomat jrNS itself and those that are reported by the network and are translated into a readable text for the user. Internal error messages are bracketed by three asterisks and remote messages by three plusses. -
