5.2.3 IPRAW

IPRAW is data communication using TCP, UDP, and IP layers, which are the lower

protocol layers. IPRAW supports IP layer protocol such as ICMP (0x01) and IGMP (0x02)

according to the protocol number. The ‘ping’ of ICMP or IGMP v1/v2 is already included

in W5200 by hardware logic. But if the user needs, the host can directly process the

IPRAW by opening the Socket n to IPRAW. In the case of using IPRAW mode, user must

set the protocol number field of the IP header to what the user wants to use. The

protocol number is defined by IANA. Refer to the web (

http://www.iana.org

/assignments/protocol-numbers

). The protocol number must be configured to

Sn_PROTO before ‘SOCKET open.’ In IPRAW mode, W5200 does not support TCP (0x06)

or UDP (0x11) protocol number. The SOCKET communication of IPRAW mode only

allows the communication of an assigned protocol number. The ICMP SOCKET cannot

receive unassigned protocol data except assigned protocol data such as IGMP.

SOCKET Initialization

Select the SOCKET and set the protocol number. Then set the Sn_MR(P3:P0) to IPRAW

mode and execute ‘OPEN’ command. If the Sn_SR is changed to SOCK_IPRAW after the

‘OPEN’ command, the SOCKET initialization is completed.
