3 Chapter 3 Initial IP Address Configuration When setting up your NPort 5600 for the first time, the first thing you should do is configure the IP address. This chapter introduces several methods to configure NPort’s IP address. Select the method that is the most convenient for you. For more details about network settings, see the Network Settings section from Chapter 5, Web Console Configuration.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration Initializing NPort’s IP Address 1. Determine whether your NPort needs to use a Static IP or Dynamic IP (either DHCP or BOOTP application). 2. If NPort is used in a Static IP environment, you can use NPort Administration Suite, ARP, Web Console, or Telnet Console to configure the new IP address. 3.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration There are four push buttons on NPort’s nameplate.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration As you use the buttons to operate the LCM display, you will notice that with very few exceptions, moving up one level causes the bottom line of the display to move to the top line of the display. You will also notice that the bottom three options in level 2, and all of the options in level 3 have either a C or D attached. The meaning is as follows: • C = configurable (i.e.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration The part of the LCM operation that still requires some explanation is how to edit the configurable options. In fact, you will only encounter two types of configurable options. The first type involves entering numbers, such as IP addresses, Netmasks, etc. In this case, you change the number one digit at a time.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration In order to use this setup method, both your computer and NPort must be connected to the same LAN. Or, you may use a cross-over Ethernet cable to connect the NPort directly to your computer’s Ethernet card. Your NPort must be configured with the factory default IP address—192.168.127.254—before executing the ARP command, as described below. Take the following steps to use ARP to configure the IP address: 1.

Type s or S and then press Enter to Save/Restart the system. 10. Type y or Y and then press Enter to save the new IP address and restart NPort.
4 Chapter 4 Choosing the Proper Operation Mode In this section, we describe the various NPort operation modes. The options include an operation mode that uses a driver installed on the host computer, and operation modes that rely on TCP/IP socket programming concepts. After choosing the proper operating mode in this chapter, refer to Chapter 5 for detailed configuration parameter definitions.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Choosing the Proper Operation Mode Overview NPort Device Servers network-enable traditional RS-232/422/485 devices, in which a 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 5600 Series User’s Manual Choosing the Proper Operation Mode TCP Client Mode In TCP Client mode, NPort can actively establish a TCP connection to a pre-defined host computer when serial data arrives. After the data has been transferred, NPort can automatically disconnect from the host computer by using the TCP alive check time or Inactivity time settings. Refer to Chapter 5 for more details As illustrated in the figure, data transmission proceeds as follows: 1.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Choosing the Proper Operation Mode The driver used for Real COM Mode comes with the NPort Windows Administrator which will install automatically on your computer when you install NPort Administration Suite. The important point 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.
5 Chapter 5 Web Console Configuration The Web Console is the most user-friendly method available to configure NPort 5600 Series. This chapter will introduce the Web Console function groups and function definitions. The figures in this chapter were borrowed from the manual for NPort 5200, which uses the same Web Console user interface as NPort 5600.

Time server Setting Factory Default Necessity IP or Domain address None Optional (E.g., 192.168.1.1 or time.stdtime.gov.tw) NPort 5600 uses SNTP (RFC-2030) for auto time calibration. Input the correct “Time server” IP address or domain address.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Network Settings You must assign a valid IP address to NPort 5600 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, NPort 5600 will not have a valid connection to the network). First time users can refer to Chapter 3, Initial IP Address Configuration, for more information.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration network. Choose a proper IP address which is unique and valid in your network environment. Netmask Setting Factory Default Necessity E.g., 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0 Required A subnet mask represents all the network hosts at one geographic location, in one building, or on the same local area network.

DNS server 2 is included for use when DNS server 1 is unavailable. NPort plays the role of DNS client, in the sense that the NPort will actively query the DNS server for the IP address associated with a particular domain name.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Auto report to IP Setting E.g., 192.168.1.1 Factory Default Necessity None Optional (IP addresses of the form x.x.x.0 and x.x.x.255 are invalid.) Reports generated by the Auto report function will be sent automatically to this IP address. Auto report to TCP port Setting E.g.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Port alias Setting 1 to 15 characters Factory Default Necessity None Optional (E.g., PLC-No.1) “Port Alias” is specially designed to allow easy identification of the serial devices which are connected to NPort’s serial port. Serial Parameters Check the serial communication parameters in your Serial Device’s user’s manual. You should set up NPort’s serial parameters with the same communication parameters used by your serial devices.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Flow control Setting None, RTS/CTS, DTR/DSR, Xon/Xoff FIFO Setting Factory Default Necessity RTS/CTS Required Factory Default Necessity Enable, Disable Enable Required NPort’s serial ports provide a 16-byte FIFO both in the Tx and Rx directions. Disable the FIFO setting when your serial device does not have a FIFO to prevent data loss during communication.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Real COM 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: NPort automatically closes TCP connection if there is no TCP activity for the given time. After the connection is closed, NPort starts listening for another Real COM driver connection from another host.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Delimiter 1 Setting 00 to FF Delimiter 2 Setting Factory Default Necessity None Optional Factory Default Necessity 00 to FF None Optional Once the NPort receives both delimiters through its serial port, it immediately packs all data currently in its buffer and sends it to the NPort’s Ethernet port. Delimiter 2 is optional. If left blank, then Delimiter 1 alone trips clearing of the buffer.
NPort 5600 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: NPort automatically closes the TCP connection if there is no TCP activity for the given time. After the connection is closed, NPort starts listening for another host’s TCP connection.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration If the Inactivity time is set to 0, the current TCP connection is kept active until a connection close request is received. Although Inactivity time is disabled, the NPort will check the connection status between the NPort and remote host by sending “keep alive” packets periodically. If the remote host does not respond to the packet, NPort assumes that the connection was closed down unintentionally.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration This parameter defines the time interval during which NPort fetches the serial data from its internal buffer. If data is incoming through the serial port, NPort stores the data in the internal buffer. NPort transmits data stored in the buffer via TCP/IP, but only if the internal buffer is full or if the Force transmit time interval reaches the time specified under Force transmit timeout.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration TCP Client 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: NPort automatically closes the TCP connection if there is no TCP activity for the given time. Inactivity time Setting Factory Default 0 to 65535 ms 0 ms 0 ms: TCP connection is not closed due to an idle serial line.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration 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. Inactivity time is ONLY active when “TCP connection on” is set to “Any Character.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration NPort should send that series of characters during a time interval less than the Force Transmit timeout for NPort, and the total length of data must be less than or equal to NPort’s internal buffer size. The serial communication buffer size for NPort is 1 KB per port. Destination IP address 1 Setting IP address or Domain Address Factory Default Necessity None Required (E.g., 192.168.1.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration UDP Mode Delimiter 1 Setting 00 to FF Delimiter 2 Setting Factory Default Necessity None Optional Factory Default Necessity 00 to FF None Optional Once the NPort receives both delimiters through its serial port, it immediately packs all data currently in its buffer and sends it to the NPort’s Ethernet port. Delimiter 2 is optional. If left blank, then Delimiter 1 alone trips clearing of the buffer.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration to 1200 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and none for parity. In this case, the total number of bits needed to send a character is 10 bits, and the time required to transfer one character is ( 10 (bits) / 1200 (bits/s) ) * 1000 (ms/s) = 8.3 ms. Therefore, you should set Force transmit timeout to be larger than 8.3 ms, so in this case, it must be greater than or equal to 10 ms.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Accessible IP Settings NPort has an IP address based filtering method to control access to itself. Accessible IP Settings allows you to add or block remote host IP addresses to prevent unauthorized access. Access to NPort is controlled by IP address. That is, if a host’s IP address is in the accessible IP table, then the host will be allowed to access the NPort. You can allow one of the following cases by setting the parameter.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Auto Warning Settings Auto warning: E-mail and SNMP Trap Mail Server Mail server Setting IP or Domain Name User name Setting 1 to 15 characters Password Setting 1 to 15 characters From E-mail address Setting 1 to 63 characters E-mail address 1/2/3/4 Setting 1 to 63 characters 5-23 Factory Default Necessity None Optional Factory Default Necessity None Optional Factory Default Necessity None Optional Factory Default Necessity None
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Consult your Network Administrator or ISP for the proper mail server settings. The Auto warning function may not work properly if it is not configured correctly. NPort SMTP AUTH supports LOGIN, PLAIN, CRAM-MD5 (RFC 2554).

If the NPort is unable to send an e-mail message to the mail server within 15 seconds, NPort will reboot anyway, and abort the e-mail auto warning. DCD changed The DCD (Data Carrier Detect) signal has changed, also indicating that the modem connection status has changed. For example, a DCD change to high also means “Connected” between local modem and remote modem.
NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Change Password Input the “Old password” and “New password” to change the password. Leave the password boxes blank to erase the password. In this case, the NPort will not have password protection. If you forget the password, the ONLY way to configure NPort is by using the Reset button on NPort’s casing to “Load Factory Default.” Remember to export the configuration file using Windows Administrator when you finish the configuration.
6 Chapter 6 Configuring Windows Administrator Windows Administrator and Web Console are two powerful tools that can be used to configure the settings of your NPorts. Choose the method that is most convenient for you. Note that this chapter uses NPort 5230 as an example to introduce the installation and configuration of NPort Administration Suite. The functions and definitions are the same as for NPort 5600.

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.
