    2.3. Accessing Console Port There are two ways to access console port of the LS100 depending on whether the user is located at a local site or a remote site. - Serial console: Local users can connect directly to the serial console port of the LS100 using serial console/data cable (null-modem cable).

  • Page 23: 3: Ip Address Configuration

    3: IP Address Configuration A valid IP address of the LS100 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 LS100 will not have a valid connection to the network.

  • Page 24: Static Ip

    TCP/IP host specified in the packet is on the local network segment with the help of the subnet mask. If the address is proven to be on the same network segment as the LS100, the connection is established directly from the LS100. Otherwise, the connection is established through the given default gateway.

  • Page 25: Dhcp

    This means DHCP client, i.e. the LS100, receives a different IP address each time it boots up. To prevent the case that users do not know the IP address of the LS100 in such environments, its IP address should be reserved on the DHCP server side. In order to reserve the IP...

    TCP port. If a TCP session is established between them, the LS100 will send data to the server. If there’s any data from the server during the session, it will also send the data through the serial port. However, if the LS100 failed to connect to the remote server, the data from the serial port will be discarded.
  • Page 28 * set inactivity timeout to 0 for unlimited timeout For easier understanding of TCP modes, a simplified State Transition Diagram is often used. And too help users understand the diagram, the TCP state of the LS100 is briefly described as follows. - Listen It represents “a waiting for a connection request from any remote host”.

  • Page 29: Tcp Server Mode Operations

    4.1 TCP Server Mode Operations 4.1.1 Overview The LS100 works as a TCP server, and the default TCP state is [Listen] in this mode. The LS100 supports only one TCP socket connection per one serial port. If a connection is currently established, the additional connection requests will be rejected.
  • Page 30 Serial data transfer When a session has been established, the LS100 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 LS100, all the incoming data from the serial port are discarded.

  • Page 31: Tcp Server Mode Configuration

    Inactivity timeout is set to maintain the TCP connection state as Closed or Listen in TCP host mode unless there is any data transfer between the serial device and the LS100. If there is no incoming or outgoing data through the serial port during the specified inactivity timeout interval, the existing TCP connection will be closed automatically.

  • Page 32: Tcp Client Mode Operations

    4.2 TCP Client Mode Operations 4.2.1 Overview The LS100 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’...

  • Page 33: Tcp Client Mode Configuration

    Eventually, users can monitor the serial device periodically by making the remote host send the serial command to the LS100 whenever it is connected to the remote host. This option is useful when users need to gather the device information periodically even if the serial device does not send its data periodically.

  • Page 34: Tcp Server/Client Mode Operations

    Destination IP address and destination TCP Port are the information on the remote host to which the LS100 will try to connect in TCP client mode. The IP address (or domain name) should be specified together with the TCP port number.

  • Page 35: Tcp Server/Client Mode Configuration

    2) Operations The only difference from TCP server mode is that the LS100 will try to connect and send serial data to the remote host even if the TCP session is not established. The difference from TCP client mode is that it will accept incoming connection request from remote host if the session is not established.
  • Page 36 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. Parameter definitions for TCP server and client mode configuration are the same with TCP server mode and TCP client mode parameters.

    LS100 does not support. The LS100 does not support 7 data bits, No parity, 1 stop bit configuration. In this case, the LS100 will operate as 7 data bits, No parity, 2 stop bit mode. In case the LS100 is configured as 8 data bits, Even(or Odd) parity, 2 stop bits mode, the LS100 will operate as 8 data bits, Even (or Odd) parity, 1 stop bit mode.
  • Page 38 If there is incoming data through the serial port, the LS100 stores data into the internal buffer. The LS100 transfers data stored in the buffer via TCP/IP, only if the internal buffer is full or if the inter-character time interval reaches to the time specified as inter-character timeout.
