W5200
Sn_CR (Socket n Command Register) [R/W] [0x4001+0x0n00] [0x00] 
This is used to set the command for Socket n    such as OPEN, CLOSE, CONNECT, LISTEN, SEND, 
and RECEIVE. After W5200 identifies the  command, the  Sn_CR  register  is automatically 
cleared to 0x00. Even though Sn_CR is cleared to 0x00, the command is still being processed. 
To verify whether the command is completed or not, please check the Sn_IR or Sn_SR 
registers. 
Value
Symbol  Description 
0x01
OPEN 
Socket n    is initialized and opened according to the protocol selected in 
Sn_MR (P3:P0). The table below shows the value of Sn_SR corresponding 
to Sn_MR     
Sn_MR(P3:P0)  Sn_SR 
Sn_MR_CLOSE (0x00)  - 
Sn_MR_TCP (0x01)  SOCK_INIT (0x13) 
Sn_MR_UDP (0x02)  SOCK_UDP (0x22) 
Sn_MR_IPRAW (0x03)  SOCK_IPRAW (0x32) 
S0_MR_MACRAW (0x04)  SOCK_MACRAW (0x42) 
S0_MR_PPPoE (0x05)  SOCK_PPPoE (0x5F) 
0x02
LISTEN 
This is  valid only  in TCP  mode  (Sn_MR(P3:P0) =  Sn_MR_TCP). In  this 
mode,  the  Socket  n    is  configured  as  a  TCP server  which  is  waiting  for 
connection-request (SYN packet) from any “TCP CLIENT”. The Sn_SR 
register changes the state from SOCK_INIT to SOCKET_LISTEN. 
When a client’s connection request is successfully established, the Sn_SR 
changes  from  SOCK_LISTEN  to  SOCK_ESTABLISHED  and  the  Sn_IR(0) 
becomes ‘1’. On the other hand, Sn_IR(3) is set as ‘1’ and Sn_SR changes 
to  SOCK_CLOSED  during  a  connection  failure(SYN/ACK  packet  failed  to 
transfer) 
cf>  If  the  destination  port  of  the  TCP  Client  does  not  exist  during  a 
connection  request, W5200 will transmit a  RST packet and Sn_SR is 
unchanged. 
0x04
CONNECT 
This mode is only valid in TCP mode and operates the Socket n    as a TCP 
client.A  connect-request  (SYN  packet)  is  sent  to  the  TCP  server  by 
connecting  to  the IP address and port  stored  in  destination  address and 
port registers (Sn_DIPR0 and Sn_DPORT0)           
When a client’s connection request is successfully established, the Sn_SR 
register  is  changed  to  SOCK_ESTABLISHED  and  the  Sn_IR(0)  becomes 
‘1’.In  the following cases, the  connect-request fails  When a  ARPTO 
occurs  (Sn_IR(s)=‘1’)  because  the  Destination  Hardware  Address  is  not 
acquired through the ARP process 
When a SYN/ACK packet is not received and TCPTO(Sn_IR(3)) is’1’
