NPort 5100 will indicate a valid connection to the Ethernet in the following ways: y The Ethernet LED maintains a solid green color when connected to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network. y The Ethernet LED maintains a solid orange color when connected to a 10 Mbps Ethernet network.
NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Getting Started ATTENTION Do not use the 1 KΩ setting on the NPort 5150/5130 when using the RS-232 interface. Doing so will degrade the RS-232 signals and shorten the maximum allowed communication distance.
3 Chapter 3 Initial IP Address Configuration When setting up your NPort 5100 for the first time, you should first configure the IP address. This chapter introduces the method to configure the device server’s IP address. For more details about network settings, see the Network Settings section from Chapter 5, Web Console Configuration.
NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration Initializing the NPort 5100’s IP Address 1. Determine whether your NPort 5100 needs to use a Static IP or Dynamic IP (either DHCP or BOOTP application). 2. If the NPort 5100 is used in a Static IP environment, you can use NPort 5100 Administration Suite, ARP, Web Console, Telnet Console, or Serial Console to configure the new IP address. 3.
NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration Take the following steps to use ARP to configure the IP address: 1. 2. 3. Obtain a valid IP address for your NPort 5100 from your network administrator. Obtain the NPort 5100’s MAC address from the label on its bottom panel. Execute the ‘arp -s’ command from your computer’s MS-DOS prompt by typing: arp –s 192.168.200.100 00-90-E8-xx-xx-xx This is where 192.168.200.
NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration 4. Type 2 to select Network settings, and then press Enter. 5. Type 1 to select IP address and then press Enter. 6. Use the Backspace key to erase the current IP address, type in the new IP address, and then press Enter.

NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration Serial Console (19200, n, 8, 1) You may use the RS-232/422/485 console port to set up the IP address for NPort 5100. We suggest using PComm Terminal Emulator, which is available free of charge as part of the PComm Lite program suite (found on the Software CD that comes with the product), to carry out the installation procedure, although other similar utilities may also be used.
NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration 7. NPort 5100 will receive the “ ` ” string continuously and then auto switch from data mode to console mode. 8. Input the password when prompted. Note that this page will only appear when the NPort 5100 has been set up for password protection. 9. Start configuring the IP address under Network Settings. Refer to step 4 in the Telnet Console section for the rest of the IP settings.
4 Chapter 4 Choosing the Proper Operation Mode 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.
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.
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. The driver intercepts data sent to the host’s COM port, packs it into a TCP/IP packet, and then redirects it through the host’s Ethernet card.
NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Choosing the Proper Operation Mode TCP Client Mode In TCP Client Mode, the NPort 5100 can actively establish a TCP connection with a pre-determined host computer when serial data arrives. After the data has been transferred, the NPort 5100 can disconnect automatically from the host computer by using the TCP alive check time or Inactivity time settings. Refer to Chapter 5 for detailed configuration instructions.
NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Choosing the Proper Operation Mode Ethernet Modem Mode Ethernet Modem Mode is designed for use with legacy operating systems, such as MS-DOS, that do not support TCP/IP Ethernet. By connecting one of NPort 5100’s serial ports to the MS-DOS computer’s serial port, it is possible to use legacy software originally designed to transmit data via modem, but now transmit the data over the Ethernet.
5 Chapter 5 Web Console Configuration The Web Console is the most user-friendly method available to configure NPort 5100. In this chapter, we introduce the Web Console function groups and function definitions.

NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual 4. Web Console Configuration The NPort 5100 homepage will open next. On this page, you can see a brief description of the Web Console’s nine function groups. ATTENTION If you can’t remember the password, the ONLY way to start configuring the NPort 5100 is to load factory defaults by using the Reset button located near the NPort 5100’s RJ45 Ethernet port. Remember to use NPort Administrator to export the configuration file when you have finished the configuration.
NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Basic Settings Server name Setting Factory Default Necessity 1 to 39 characters NP[model name]_[Serial No.] Optional This option is useful for specifying the location or application of different NPort 5100s. Web/Telnet Console The “Disable” option for “Web Console” and “Telnet Console” is included for security reasons.
NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Network Settings You must assign a valid IP address to the NPort 5100 before it will work in your network environment. Your network system administrator should provide you with an IP address and related settings for your network. The IP address must be unique within the network (otherwise, the NPort 5100 will not have a valid connection to the network).
NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Netmask Setting Factory Default Necessity E.g., 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0 Required A subnet mask represents all of the network hosts at one geographic location, in one building, or on the same local area network. When a packet is sent out over the network, the NPort 5100 will use the subnet mask to check whether the desired TCP/IP host specified in the packet is on the local network segment.
NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration SNMP Settings Community name Setting Factory Default Necessity 1 to 39 characters public Optional A community name is a plain-text password mechanism that is used to weakly authenticate queries to agents of managed network devices. Contact Setting 1 to 39 characters Factory Default Necessity None Optional (E.g., Support, 886-89191230 #300) The SNMP contact information usually includes an emergency contact name and telephone or pager number.

Necessity Optional 1 to 99 min: NPort 5100 automatically closes the TCP connection if there is no TCP activity for the given time. After the connection is closed, the NPort 5100 starts listening for another Real COM driver connection from another host.
NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration ATTENTION When Max connection is set to 2, 3, or 4, this means that the NPort 5100 will be using a “multi connection application” (i.e., 2, 3, or 4 hosts are allowed access to the port at the same time). When using a multi connection application, the NPort 5100 will use the serial communication parameters set in the console. All of the hosts connected to that port must use the same serial settings.
NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration ATTENTION Delimiter 2 is optional. If left blank, then Delimiter 1 alone trips clearing of the buffer. If the size of the serial data received is greater than 1 KB, the NPort 5100 will automatically pack the data and send it to the Ethernet. However, to use the delimiter function, you must at least enable Delimiter 1. If Delimiter 1 is left blank and Delimiter 2 is enabled, the delimiter function will not work properly.
NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration TCP Server Mode TCP alive check time Setting Factory Default 0 to 99 min 7 min 0 min: TCP connection is not closed due to an idle TCP connection. Necessity Optional 1 to 99 min: The NPort 5100 automatically closes the TCP connection if there is no TCP activity for the given time. After the connection is closed, the NPort 5100 starts listening for another host’s TCP connection.
NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration ATTENTION The Inactivity time should at least be set larger than that of Force transmit timeout. To prevent the unintended loss of data due to the session being disconnected, it is highly recommended that this value is set large enough so that the intended data transfer is completed.
NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Delimiter 2 Setting Factory Default Necessity 00 to FF None Optional Once the NPort 5100 receives both delimiters through its serial port, it immediately packs all data currently in its buffer and sends it out the NPort 5100’s Ethernet port. ATTENTION Delimiter 2 is optional. If left blank, then Delimiter 1 alone trips clearing of the buffer.
NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration If the user wants to send a series of characters in the same packet, the serial device attached to NPort 5100 should send that series of characters during a time interval less than the Force transmit timeout for NPort 5100, and the total length of data must be less than or equal to NPort 5100’s internal buffer size. The serial communication buffer size for NPort 5100 is 1 KB per port.

NPort 5100 Series User’s Manual IP Serial LIB Overview What is IP Serial Library? IP Serial Library is a Windows library with frequently used serial command sets and subroutines. IP Serial Library is designed to reduce the complexity and poor efficiency of serial communication over TCP/IP. For example, Telnet can only transfer data, but it can’t monitor or configure the serial line’s parameters.

D Appendix D Auto IP Report Protocol 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. The NPort will use this IP address for a period of time after receiving it.
