Disable the FIFO setting when your serial device does not have a FIFO to prevent data loss during communication.
NE-4100 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration periodically. If the remote host does not respond to the packet, it assumes that the connection was closed down unintentionally. NE-4100 will then force the existing TCP connection to close. The Inactivity time should at least be set larger than that of Force Transmit timeout.
NE-4100 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration port is set to 1200 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no for parity. In this case, the total number of bits required to send a character is 10 bits and the time required to transfer one character is ( 10 bits / 1200 bits/s ) * 1000 = 8.3 ms. Therefore, you should set Force Transmit timeout to be larger than 8.3 ms. Force Transmit timeout is specified in milliseconds and must be larger than 10 ms.
NE-4100 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Max. connection 1: Allows only 1 host’s Real COM driver to open the specific NE-4100 serial port. Max connection 2 to 4: Allows 2 to 4 host’s Real COM drivers to open the specific NE-4100 serial port, at the same time. When multiple hosts’ Real COM drivers open the serial port at the same time, the COM driver only provides a pure data tunnel without control ability.
NE-4100 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration If the user wants to send the series of characters in a packet, the serial device attached to the NE-4100 should send characters without time delay larger than Force Transmit timeout between characters and the total length of data must be smaller than or equal to NE-4100’s internal buffer size. The serial communication buffer size of NE-4100 series is 1 Kbyte per port.
NE-4100 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Inactivity time is ONLY active when “TCP connection on” is set to “Any character.” Delimiter 1 Setting 00 to FF Factory Default “0” for None Necessity Optional Delimiter 2 Setting Factory Default Necessity 00 to FF “0” for None Optional Once the NE-4100 receives both delimiters through its serial port, it immediately packs all data currently in its buffer and sends it out the NE-4100’s Ethernet port. Delimiter 2 is optional.
NE-4100 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration The “Destination IP address” parameter can use both IP address and Domain address. For some applications, the user may need to send the data actively to the remote destination domain address. TCP connection on Setting Start up, Factory Default Necessity Start up Optional Any Character Start up: Attempts to establish a TCP connection as soon as the NE-4100 Series is powered on.
NE-4100 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Force Transmit Setting 0 to 65535 ms 0: Disable the force transmit timeout. Factory Default Necessity 0 ms Optional 1 to 65535: Forces the NE-4100’s TCP/IP protocol software to try to pack serial data received during the specified time into the same data frame. This parameter defines the interval during which NE-4100 fetches the serial data from its internal buffer.

NE-4100 Series User’s Manual 7. Web Console Configuration Hi-performance mode is the default for Tx mode. If the driver completes sending data from the host to the NE-4100 Series, the driver will respond to the program with “Tx Empty.” Under Classical mode, the driver will not notify the user’s program that a Tx has completed until all Tx data has been sent out from the NE-4100; this mode will case lower throughput.
NE-4100 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Off-line COM Mapping 1. Add a target by inputting the IP address and selecting the Model Name without physically connecting the NE-4100 to the network. 2. Apply change.
8 Chapter 8 SW Reset Function Network Enabler Administrator provides a “SW Reset Function” that allows the user to erase NE-4100’s password, or load factory defaults. To enable this function, open the NE’s Configuration page, click on the Digital IO tab, and then check the Enable SW RESET Function (Use DIO 1) checkbox. As indicated, the RESET command will be transmitted through GPIO1.
NE-4100 Series User’s Manual SW Reset Function NOTE: The SW Reset function is disabled by default. If SW Reset is enabled, then since “disable” is the default, it will be reset to “disable” automatically after receiving a 10 sec. SW Reset command. This helps to prevent users from resetting to the default values inadvertently.
A Appendix A Well Known Port Numbers This appendix is included for your reference. Listed below are Well Known Port Numbers that may cause network problems if you configure NE-4100 for the same port. Refer to RFC 1700 for Well Know Port Numbers or refer to the following introduction from IANA. The port numbers are divided into three ranges: the Well Known Ports, the Registered Ports, and the Dynamic and/or Private Ports. The Well Known Ports are those from 0 through 1023.
