    The NPort 6000 series of secure serial device servers have many exceptional features. There are currently seventeen models in the NPort 6000 series of secure serial device servers. The main differences between the models are the number of ports and the type of network connection employed. All instructions and information presented for the NPort 6000 apply to all models in the series.

  • Page 8: Overview

    Each NPort 6000 serial device server is shipped in a separate box with a number of standard accessories. In addition, several optional accessories can be ordered separately. When you receive your shipment, please check the contents of the box carefully, and notify your Moxa sales representative if any of the items are missing or appear to be damaged.

  • Page 35: Introducing Serial Port Operation Modes

    Introducing Serial Port Operation Modes In this chapter, we describe the various operation modes of the NPort 6000. NPort 6000 modes are grouped by type of application, such as Device Control or Reverse Terminal. The options include an operation mode that relies on a driver installed on the host computer, and operation modes that rely on TCP/IP socket programming concepts.

  • Page 36: Overview

    NPort 6000 Series Introducing Serial Port Operation Modes Overview The NPort 6000 network-enables traditional serial (RS-232/422/485) devices. The serial device server is a tiny computer equipped with a CPU and TCP/IP protocols that can bi-directionally translate data between the serial and Ethernet formats.

    NPort 6000 Series Introducing Serial Port Operation Modes Real COM and Secure Real COM Modes The NPort 6000 comes bundled with Real COM drivers for Windows systems and TTY drivers for Linux systems. Real COM mode includes optional data encryption using SSL.

  • Page 38: Rfc2217 Mode

    Dynamic IP address application Reserve Real COM mode is an innovative operation mode developed by Moxa. It allows NPort 6000 terminal servers to achieve the same effect as Real COM mode, but without needint to apply for a public IP address. In other words, Reverse Real COM mode chan be used even if the NPort is using a private IP address, or is being used in a dynamic IP address environment.

  • Page 39: Tcp Client And Secure Tcp Client Modes

    NPort 6000 Series Introducing Serial Port Operation Modes TCP Client and Secure TCP Client Modes In TCP Client mode, the NPort 6000 can actively establish a TCP connection to a pre-defined host computer when serial data arrives. After the data has been transferred, the NPort 6000 can automatically disconnect from the host computer by using the Inactivity time settings.

  • Page 40: Pair Connection And Secure Pair Connection Modes

    NPort 6000 Series Introducing Serial Port Operation Modes Pair Connection and Secure Pair Connection Modes In Pair Connection mode, two NPort 6000 servers work together to remove the 15-meter distance limitation imposed by the RS-232 interface. One server is arbitrarily designated the “master” and the other as the “slave”—it does not matter which is which as long as there is one of each.

  • Page 41: Terminal Applications

    NPort 6000 Series Introducing Serial Port Operation Modes Terminal Applications Terminal applications involve connecting terminals to UNIX or Windows servers over a network. A terminal connects to the appropriately configured serial port the NPort 6000, and the NPort 6000 transmits information to and from a UNIX or Windows server over the network through its Ethernet port.

  • Page 42: Reverse Terminal Applications

    NPort 6000 Series Introducing Serial Port Operation Modes Reverse Terminal Applications Reverse terminal applications are similar to terminal applications in that they involve using the NPort 6000 to manage the connection between a terminal and a server. The difference is that with reverse terminal applications, the terminal is connected through the network and the server is connected through the serial port, rather than the other way around.

This causes the NPort 6000 to act as a router and send the datagram to the default next-hop router, 203.67.6.254.

  • Page 60: The Stp/Rstp Concept

    Networks that have a complicated architecture are prone to broadcast storms caused by unintended loops on the network. The Moxa NPort 6000’s STP feature is disabled by default. To be completely effective, you must enable RSTP/STP on every NPort 6000 connected to your network.
  • Page 61 Root Bridge, for the STP system—bridges with a lower Bridge Identifier are more likely to be designated as the Root Bridge. The Bridge Identifier is calculated using the MAC address of the bridge and a priority defined for the bridge. The default priority of the NPort 6000 series is 32768.

  • Page 62: Differences Between Rstp And Stp

    NPort 6000 Series Module Settings • Each port has a cost that specifies the efficiency of each link. The efficiency cost is usually determined by the bandwidth of the link, with less efficient links assigned a higher cost. STP Calculation The first step of the STP process is to perform calculations.
