3 Chapter 3 Initial IP Address Configuration When setting up the NPort 6000 for the first time, the first thing you should do is configure its IP address. This chapter introduces the different methods that can be used. Please refer to Chapter 9, System Management Settings, for more details about network settings.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration Static and Dynamic IP Addresses Determine whether your NPort 6000 needs to use a static IP or dynamic IP address (either DHCP or BOOTP/PPPoE application). y y If your NPort 6000 is used in a static IP environment, you will assign a specific IP address using one of the tools described in this chapter. If your NPort 6000 is used in a dynamic IP environment, the IP address will be assigned automatically from over the network.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration ATTENTION If a password has been enabled for the NPort 6000 console and the LCM console is configured for writeable status, the LCM console will require you to enter the password before allowing you access. The password will not be required if the LCM console is configured for read-only access. The MENU button activates the main menu. It is also used to cancel a selection and return to a previous menu.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration ATTENTION In order to use the ARP setup method, both your computer and the NPort 6000 must be connected to the same LAN. Alternatively, you may use a cross-over Ethernet cable to connect the NPort 6000 directly to your computer’s Ethernet card. Before executing the ARP command, your NPort 6000 must be configured with the factory default IP address (192.168.127.254) and your computer and the NPort 6000 must be on the same subnet.

You may use a different terminal emulator utility, although your actual screens and procedures may vary slightly from the following instructions. 1. Turn off the power to the NPort 6000.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration 6. If you are using the NPort 6610/6650, you may power it up at this point. If you are using the NPort 6150, 6250, or 6450, hold down the “grave accent key” (`) while powering it up, as shown below. Note that the grave accent key (sometimes called “backwards apostrophe”) is NOT the apostrophe key—it is the key usually found next to the number 1 key. The NPort 6000 will then automatically switch from data mode to console mode. 7.
4 Chapter 4 Introducing Serial Port Operation Modes In this chapter, we describe the various operation modes of the NPort 6000. NPort 6000 modes are grouped by type of application, such as Device Control or Reverse Terminal. The options include an operation mode that relies on a driver installed on the host computer, and operation modes that rely on TCP/IP socket programming concepts.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Introducing Serial Port Operation Modes Overview The NPort 6000 network-enables traditional serial (RS-232/422/485) devices. The serial device server is a tiny computer equipped with a CPU 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 6000 Series User’s Manual Introducing Serial Port Operation Modes Real COM and Secure Real COM Modes The NPort 6000 comes bundled with Real COM drivers for Windows 95/98/Me/NT/ 2000/XP/2003 systems and TTY drivers for Linux systems. Real COM mode includes optional data encryption using SSL. (For Windows systems, this option is only supported for Windows 2000/XP/Vista/XP x64/ 2003/2003 x64/ Vista x64.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Introducing Serial Port Operation Modes TCP Server and Secure TCP Server Modes In TCP Server mode, the serial port on the NPort 6000 is assigned a port number which must not conflict with any other serial port on the NPort 6000. The host computer initiates contact with the NPort 6000, establishes the connection, and receives data from the serial device.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Introducing Serial Port Operation Modes UDP Mode Compared to TCP communication, UDP is faster and more efficient. In UDP mode, you can unicast or multi-unicast data from a serial device to one or multiple host computers and the serial device can receive data from one or multiple host computers. These traits make UDP mode especially suited for message display applications.

NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Configuration with the Web Console The NPort 6000 will play the role of a DNS client, in the sense that it will actively query the DNS server for the IP address associated with a particular domain name.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Configuration with the Web Console By using RIP, a gateway host with a router can send its entire routing table, which lists all the other hosts it knows about, to its closest neighbor host every 30 seconds. The neighbor host in turn will pass this information on to its closest neighbor, and so on, until all hosts within the network have the same routing path information. This state is known as network convergence.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Configuration with the Web Console You are allowed up to 32 entries in the route table. For each entry, you must provide information on the gateway, destination, netmask, metric hops and interface. Gateway: This is the IP address of the next-hop router. Destination: This is the host’s IP address or the network address of the route’s destination. Netmask: This is the destination network’s netmask.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Configuration with the Web Console Generally, connections to the Internet are handled by assigning a gateway server in the network settings rather than through the route table.

6 Chapter 6 Module Settings In this chapter, we describe additional settings related to the NM-TX01, NM-FX01-M-SC, NM-FX01-S-SC, NM-FX02-M-SC, NM-FX02-S-SC, and NM-GPRS/GSM modules. The same configuration options are also available from the Telnet and serial consoles.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Module Settings NM-TX01, NM-TX02, NM-FX01-M-SC, NM-FX01-S-SC, NM-FX02-M-SC, NM-FX02-S-SC Redundancy Settings This section applies to NPort 6000 server’s that have the NM-TX01 module installed. From the left navigation panel, click Network Settings Æ Module to configure Redundancy Settings. The STP/RSTP Concept Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) was designed to help reduce link failures in a network, and provide protection from loops.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Module Settings The figure below shows a network made up of three LANs separated by three bridges. Each segment uses at most two paths to communicate with the other segments. Since this configuration can give rise to loops, the network will overload if STP is NOT enabled. If STP is enabled, it will detect duplicate paths and prevent, or block, one of them from forwarding traffic.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Module Settings STP will determine which path between each bridged segment is most efficient, and then assigns a specific reference point on the network. When the most efficient path has been identified, the other paths are blocked. In the previous 3 figures, STP first determined that the path through Bridge C was the most efficient, and as a result, blocked the path through Bridge B.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Module Settings STP Configuration After all the bridges on the network agree on the identity of the Root Bridge, and all other relevant parameters have been established, each bridge is configured to forward traffic only between its Root Port and the Designated Bridge Ports for the respective network segments. All other ports are blocked, which means that they will not be allowed to receive or forward traffic.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Module Settings Forward Delay: The amount of time this device waits before checking to see if it should change to a different state. The factory default is 15 (sec.). Max. Age (sec.): If this device is not the root, and it has not received a hello message from the root in an amount of time equal to “Max. Age,” then this device will reconfigure itself as a root.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Module Settings Type: The NM-GPRS/GSM module supports 3 types of operation modes. The choices are GSM, GPRS, and SMS. SIM PIN: This is a pin code that locks the SIM card until you enter the correct code. This protects your account. The default code is set by the Service Provider.Note that a cell phone must be used to change the PIN.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Module Settings Destination IP address: If you do not configure these three parameters, they will be filled in Source IP address: automatically by the remote side of the connection. IP netmask: TCP/IP compression (default=Disable): The setting of this field depends on whether the remote user’s application requests compression. Inactivity time (default=0 ms): This field specifies the idle time setting for auto-disconnection.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Module Settings Connection interval (default= 5 min): The time interval of Periodically connect function. Ping remote host: Key in the IP address or Domain name of the remote host. GPRS Operation Mode TCP/IP compression (default=Disable): The setting of this field depends on whether or not the remote user’s application requests compression. Inactivity time (default=0 ms): This field specifies the idle time setting for auto-disconnection.

SMS Operation mode Short Message Service (SMS) is a telecommunications protocol that allows the sending of “short” (160 characters or less) text messages.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Module Settings Event Settings On the Event Settings page, you may configure how administrators are notified of certain system, network, and configuration events. Depending on the event, different options for automatic notification are available, as shown above. Mail refers to sending an e-mail to a specified address. Trap refers to sending an SNMP Trap.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Module Settings Serial Event Settings On the Serial Event Settings page, you may configure how administrators are notified of each serial port’s DCD and DSR changes. Mail refers to sending an e-mail to a specified address. Trap refers to sending an SNMP Trap. Dout is only available on the NPort 6450 and 6650, and refers to changing the status of the relay output (the DOUT socket at the back of the NPort 6000) and of the alarm LED.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Module Settings ATTENTION SNMP indicates a change in DCD or DSR signals but does not differentiate between the two. A change in either signal from “–” to “+” is indicated by “link up” and a change in either signal from “+” to “–” is indicated by “link down.” SMS Alert To phone number 1/2/3/4: Use this screen to enter up to four phone numbers that will receive SMS alerts. NM-Modem This section applies to NPort 6000 server’s that have the NM-Modem module installed.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Module Settings PPP mode: PPP provides standard PPP service for both dial-in and dial-out. PPPD mode: PPPD (PPP on demand) is used for dial-in services, since it provides PPP services only when receiving a request from a remote PC. Destination IP address: This is the IP address of the remote dial-in/ dial-out server. Source IP address: The Source IP address is IP address assigned to this serial port.

7 Chapter 7 Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes In this chapter, we explain how to configure the individual serial port modes.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes Port Setting Basics Each serial port on the NPort 6000 can be configured independently. To configure the operation mode and settings for a port, expand Serial Port Settings in the navigation panel, then expand the port that you would like to configure. Individual port settings are grouped into four categories in the navigation panel: Operation Modes, Communication Parameters, Data Buffering/Log, and Modem Settings.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes Device Control Applications Real COM Mode TCP alive check time (default=7 min): This field specifies how long the NPort 6000 will wait for a response to “keep alive” packets before closing the TCP connection. The NPort 6000 checks connection status by sending periodic “keep alive” packets.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes ATTENTION When Max connection is greater than 1, the NPort 6000 will use a multi connection application (i.e., 2 to 8 hosts are allowed access to the port at the same time). When using a multi connection application, the NPort 6000 will use the serial communication parameters as defined here in the web console, and all hosts connected to the port must use identical serial settings.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes ATTENTION If your NPort 6000 serial port is in Real COM mode and configured for SSL encryption, make sure the Real COM driver is configured the same way. This is done through NPort Windows Driver Manager, which is installed with the driver. Please refer to Chapter 10, Software Installation/Configuration, for more information.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes y Delimiter + 1: Data in the buffer will be transmitted after 1 additional byte is received following the delimiter. y Delimiter + 2: Data in the buffer will be transmitted after 2 additional bytes are received following the delimiter. y Strip Delimiter: Data in the buffer is first stripped of the delimiter before being transmitted.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes TCP alive check time (default=7 min): This field specifies how long the NPort 6000 will wait for a response to “keep alive” packets before closing the TCP connection. The NPort 6000 checks connection status by sending periodic “keep alive” packets. If the remote host does not respond to the packet within the time specified in this field, the NPort 6000 will force the existing TCP connection to close.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes 1200 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no 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 the force transmit time to be larger than 8.3 ms, so in this case, it must be greater than or equal to 10 ms.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes ATTENTION If used, the Inactivity time setting should be greater than the Force transmit time. 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. Max connection (default=1): This field is used if you need to receive data from different hosts simultaneously.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes Secure (default=No): If you select Yes, data sent through the Ethernet will be encrypted with SSL. TCP port (default=4001): This is the TCP port number assignment for the serial port on the NPort 6000. It is the port number that the serial port uses to listen to connections, and that other devices must use to contact the serial port. To avoid conflicts with well known TCP ports, the default is set to 4001.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes Delimiter process (default=Do Nothing): The Delimiter process field determines how the data is handled when a delimiter is received. Delimiter 1 must be enabled for this field to have effect. If Delimiters 1 and 2 are both enabled, both characters must be received for the delimiter process to take place. y Do Nothing: Data in the buffer will be transmitted when the delimiter is received.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes TCP Client Mode TCP alive check time (default=7 min): This field specifies how long the NPort 6000 will wait for a response to “keep alive” packets before closing the TCP connection. The NPort 6000 checks connection status by sending periodic “keep alive” packets. If the remote host does not respond to the packet within the time specified in this field, the NPort 6000 will force the existing TCP connection to close.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes ATTENTION Inactivity time is ONLY active when Connection Control (see below) is set to Any character/Inactivity time. Ignore jammed IP (default=No): This option determines how the port will proceed if multiple hosts are connected and one or more of the hosts stops responding as the port is transmitting data.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes Option Description Startup/None (default) A TCP connection will be established on startup, and will remain active indefinitely. Any Character/None A TCP connection will be established when any character is received from the serial interface, and will remain active indefinitely.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes As data is received through the serial port, it is stored by the NPort 6000 in the internal buffer. The NPort 6000 transmits data stored in the buffer via TCP/IP, but only when the internal buffer is full or as specified by the force transmit time. When set to 0, the force transmit time is disabled, and transmission is determined solely by the data in the internal buffer.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes ATTENTION The maximum selectable IP address range is 64 addresses. However, when using multicast, you may enter IP addresses of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.255 in the Begin field. For example, enter 192.127.168.255 to allow the NPort 6000 to broadcast UDP packets to all hosts with IP addresses between 192.127.168.1 and 192.127.168.254.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes 1200 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no 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 the force transmit time to be larger than 8.3 ms, so in this case, it must be greater than or equal to 10 ms.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual . Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes ATTENTION When establishing a Pair Connection between two serial ports on two different NPort 6000 servers, make sure that if one side is configured for data encryption, the other side is also set up for data encryption (i.e., both are yes or both are no). Destination IP address: The Pair Connection Master will contact the network host that has the specified IP address. The port will default to 4001.

B Appendix B RFC2217 This appendix explains how to set up the environment to use RFC-2217 mode. RFC2217 defines general COM port control options based on the Telnet protocol and is used to allow the mapping of virtual COM ports to network ports. Any third party driver that supports RFC-2217 can be used to implement the virtual COM port on the NPort 6000. The installation is as follows: 1. In the NPort 6000 console, set up the desired serial port’s operation mode as RFC2217 mode.
C Appendix C Dynamic Domain Name Server This appendix explains how to use the NPort 6000 with DDNS. When the NPort 6000 receive its IP address from a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, remote servers will be unable to access it using a fixed IP address. With DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server), a remote server can access the NPort 6000 using its domain name instead of its IP address. Overview The following is a summary of the process: 1.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual Dynamic Domain Name Server 4. If the NPort 6000 is not authorized to update the DNS server, the DHCP server can be used to update the DNS server. The DHCP server will register the DNS server with the PTR RR (the record of request for a domain name with IP address). 1 NPort 6000 Series My fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is NP6000.moxa.com 2 DHCP Acknowledge Domain name = moxa.

F Appendix F RADIUS Server Managing diverse serial lines and modem pools for large numbers of users creates the need for significant administrative support. Since modem pools are links to the outside world, careful attention must be paid to security, authorization, and accounting. This can best be achieved by managing a single database of users allowing authentication (verifying user names and passwords) as well as configuration of information that details the type of service to deliver to the user (e.g.
NPort 6000 Series User’s Manual RADIUS Server What is RADIUS? Definition Remote Authentication Dial-up User Service, or RADIUS, is the standard for centralizing the authentication, authorization, and accounting of remote access users. Here is a brief description of how RADIUS works: When a user dials in to a remote access device, that device communicates with the central RADIUS server to determine if the user is authorized to connect to the LAN.
