    Choosing the Proper Operation Mode Chapter 4 In this section, we describe the various NPort 5100 operation modes. The options include Real COM Mode, which uses a driver installed on the host computer, and operation modes that rely on TCP/IP socket programming concepts. After choosing the proper operation mode in this chapter, refer to Chapter 5 for detailed configuration parameter definitions.

  • Page 22: Overview

    NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Choosing the Proper Operation Mode Overview NPort 5100 serial device servers network-enable traditional RS-232/422/485 devices, in which a serial 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 23: Tcp Server Mode

    NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Choosing the Proper Operation Mode One of the major conveniences of using Real COM Mode is that Real COM Mode allows users to continue using RS-232/422/485 serial communications software that was written for pure serial communications applications.

  • Page 95: Appendix D Auto Ip Report Protocol

    Auto IP Report Protocol Appendix D NPort Series provides several ways to configure Ethernet IP addresses. One of them is DHCP Client. When you set up the NPort to use DHCP Client to configure Ethernet IP addresses, it will automatically send a DHCP request over the Ethernet to find the DHCP Server. And then the DHCP Server will send an available IP address to the NPort.
