4 Chapter 4 Choosing the Proper Operation Mode In this section, we describe the various NPort 5110 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 operation mode in this chapter, refer to Chapter 5 for detailed configuration parameter definitions.
NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual Choosing the Proper Operation Mode Overview NPort 5110 Serial Device Servers are used to network-enable traditional RS-232 devices. A Serial Device Server is a tiny computer equipped with a CPU, real-time OS, and TCP/IP protocols that can bi-directionally transfer 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 5110 Series User’s Manual Choosing the Proper Operation Mode UDP Mode Compared to TCP communication, UDP is faster and more efficient. In UDP mode, you can unicast or multicast data from the serial device to one or multiple host computers, and the serial device can also receive data from one or multiple host computers, making this mode ideal for message display applications.
NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual Choosing the Proper Operation Mode Ethernet Modem Mode The Ethernet Modem operation mode is designed for use with legacy operating systems, such as MS-DOS, that do not support TCP/IP Ethernet. By connecting one NPort 5110’s serial port 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 5110. This chapter introduces the Web Console function groups and function definitions.

On this page, you can see a brief description of the Web Console’s nine function groups.
NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Basic Settings Server name Setting Factory Default Necessity 1 to 39 characters [model name]_[Serial No.] Optional This option is useful for specifying the location or application of different NPort 5110s. Web/Telnet Console The “Disable” option for “Web Console” and “Telnet Console” is included for security reasons.
NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Network Settings You must assign a valid IP address to NPort 5110 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 5110 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 5110 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration IP address Setting Factory Default Necessity E.g., 192.168.1.1 192.168.127.254 Required (IP addresses of the form x.x.x.0 and x.x.x.255 are invalid.) An IP address is a number assigned to a network device (such as a computer) as a permanent address on the network. Computers use the IP address to identify and talk to each other over the network. Choose a proper IP address which is unique and valid in your network environment.
NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration connect to the web server. DNS is the way that Internet domain names are identified and translated into IP addresses. A domain name is an alphanumeric name, such as moxa.com, that it is usually easier to remember. A DNS server is a host that translates this kind of text-based domain name into the numeric IP address used to establish a TCP/IP connection. In order to use NPort 5110’s DNS feature, you need to configure the DNS server.
NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Auto report to IP Setting Factory Default Necessity E.g., 192.168.1.1 or URL 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 automatically sent to this IP address. Auto report to TCP port Setting E.g.
NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Port alias Setting Factory Default Necessity 1 to 15 characters None Optional (E.g., PLC-No.1) “Port alias” is included to allow easy identification of the serial devices that are connected to NPort 5110’s serial port. Serial Parameters ATTENTION Check the serial communication parameters in your Serial Device’s user’s manual. You should set up NPort 5110’s serial parameters with the same communication parameters used by your serial devices.
NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Operating Settings Click on Operating Settings, located under Main Menu, to display the operating settings for both of NPort 5110’s serial ports. 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 5110 automatically closes the TCP connection if there is no TCP activity for the given time.
NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Max connection 2 to 4: Allows 2 to 4 host’s Real COM drivers to open the specific NPort 5110 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. That is, this serial port parameter will use firmware’s settings, not depend on your application program (AP).
NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration buffer is full or if the Force transmit time interval reaches the time specified under Force transmit timeout. The optimal Force transmit timeout depends on your application, but it must be at least larger than one character interval within the specified baud rate. For example, assume that the serial port is set to 1200 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration for the given time. After the connection is closed, NPort 5110 starts listening for another host’s TCP connection. This parameter defines the maintenance status as Closed or Listen for the TCP connection. The connection is closed if there is no incoming or outgoing data through the serial port during the specific Inactivity time.
NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Force transmit Setting 0 to 65535 ms 0: Disable the force transmit timeout. Factory Default 0 ms Necessity Optional 1 to 65535: Forces the NPort 5110’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 time interval during which NPort 5110 fetches the serial data from its internal buffer.
NPort 5110 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 5110 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 5110 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. ATTENTION Inactivity time is ONLY active when “TCP connect on” is set to “Any character.
NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration ( 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 5110 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration UDP Mode Delimiter 1 Setting Factory Default Necessity 00 to FF None Optional Delimiter 2 Setting Factory Default Necessity 00 to FF None Optional Once the NPort 5110 receives both delimiters through its serial port, it immediately packs all data currently in its buffer and sends it out the NPort 5110’s Ethernet port. ATTENTION Delimiter 2 is optional. If left blank, then Delimiter 1 alone trips clearing of the buffer.
NPort 5110 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration internal buffer. NPort 5110 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. The optimal Force transmit timeout depends on your application, but it must be at least larger than one character interval within the specified baud rate.

NPort 5110 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 method is DHCP Client. When you set up the NPort to use DHCP Client to configure Ethernet IP addresses, a DHCP request is sent automatically over the Ethernet to find the DHCP Server. In response, 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.
