3 Chapter 3 Initial IP Address Configuration When setting up your NPort 5200 for the first time, the first thing you should do is configure the IP address. This chapter introduces the methods that can be used to configure the device server’s IP address. Select one of the initial IP Address configuration methods to configure NPort 5200’s IP Address. For more details about network settings, see the Network Settings section from Chapter 5, Web Console Configuration.
NPort 5200 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration Initializing NPort 5200’s IP Address 1. Determine whether your NPort 5200 needs to use a Static IP or Dynamic IP (either DHCP or BOOTP application). 2. If NPort 5200 is used in a Static IP environment, you can use NPort 5200 Administration Suite, ARP, Web Console, Telnet Console, or Serial Console to configure the new IP address. 3.
NPort 5200 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration Take the following steps to use ARP to configure the IP address: 1. Obtain a valid IP address for your NPort 5200 from your network administrator. 2. Obtain NPort 5200’s MAC address from the label on its bottom panel. 3. 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 5200 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration 3. When the Telnet window opens, if you are prompted to input the Console password, input the password and then press Enter. Note that this page will only appear if the NPort 5200 is password protected. 4. Type 2 to select Network settings, and then press Enter. 5. Type 1 to select IP address and then press Enter.
NPort 5200 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration 6. Use the Backspace key to erase the current IP address, type in the new IP address, and then press Enter. 7. Press any key to continue.
NPort 5200 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration 8. Type m and then press Enter to return to the main menu. 9. Type s and then press Enter to Save/Restart the system. 10. Type y and then press Enter to save the new IP address and restart the NPort 5200. Serial Console (19200, n, 8, 1) You may use the RS-232 console port to set up the IP address for NPort 5200.
NPort 5200 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration ATTENTION The Serial Console can only be accessed by NPort 5200’s RS-232 ports (ports 1 and 2 for NPort 5210, and port 1 for NPort 5230). Since NPort 5232 and NPort 5232I do not have an RS-232 interface, the Serial Console program cannot be used to configure NPort 5232/5232I’s IP address.
NPort 5200 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration 7. NPort 5200 will switch automatically from data mode to console mode as it receives a continuous “ ` ”string. 8. Input the password when prompted. Note that this page will only appear when the NPort 5200 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 chapter, we describe the various NPort 5200 operation modes. The options include “Driver Mode,” which uses a driver installed on the host computer, and operation modes that rely on TCP/IP socket programming concepts. After reading this chapter, choose the operation mode most suitable for your application, and then refer to Chapter 5 for detailed instructions on how to configure the operation mode’s parameters.
NPort 5200 Series User’s Manual Choosing the Proper Operation Mode Overview NPort 5200 serial device servers network-enable traditional RS-232/422/485 devices. A serial device server is a tiny computer equipped with a CPU, real-time OS, and TCP/IP protocols that can bi-directionally transform data between the serial and Ethernet formats.
NPort 5200 Series User’s Manual Choosing the Proper Operation Mode ATTENTION The driver used for Real COM Mode is bundled with NPort Administrator. The driver is installed on your computer automatically when you install NPort 5200 Administration Suite. 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.
NPort 5200 Series User’s Manual Choosing the Proper Operation Mode TCP Client Mode In TCP Client Mode, NPort 5200 can actively establish a TCP connection with a pre-determined host computer when serial data arrives. After the data has been transferred, NPort 5200 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 5200 Series User’s Manual Choosing the Proper Operation Mode Reverse Telnet Mode Console management is commonly used upon Console/AUX or COM port of routers, switches, and UPS. Rtelnet works the same as RAW mode that they only listen to one specific TCP port after booting up, and wait for the host on the network to initiate the connection. The difference is that the RAW mode does not provide conversion function of telnet protocol.
5 Chapter 5 Web Console Configuration The Web Console is the most user-friendly method available to configure NPort 5200. In this chapter, we introduce the Web Console function groups and function definitions.

Examples shown in this chapter use the Factory Default IP address (192.168.127.254). 4. The NPort 5200 homepage will open next. On this page, you can see a brief description of the Web Console’s nine function groups.
NPort 5200 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 5200s. Time NPort 5200 has a built-in Real-Time Clock for time calibration functions. Real-time information can be added to Auto warning “Email” or “SNMP Trap” messages. ATTENTION First time users should select the time zone first.
NPort 5200 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Time server Setting IP Address or Domain Name Factory Default Necessity blank Optional (E.g., 192.168.1.1, time.stdtime.gov.tw, or time.nist.gov) NPort 5200 uses SNTP (RFC-1769) for auto time calibration. Input the correct “Time server” IP address or domain name. Once NPort 5200 is configured with the correct Time server address, NPort 5200 will request time information from the “Time server” every 10 minutes.
NPort 5200 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Network Settings You must assign a valid IP address to NPort 5200 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 5200 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 5200 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Netmask Setting Factory Default Necessity E.g., 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0 Required A netmask identifies a local area network. When a packet is sent out over the network, the NPort 5200 will use the subnet mask to check whether the destination TCP/IP host specified in the packet is on the local network segment. If the address is on the same network segment as the NPort 5200, a connection is established directly from the NPort 5200.
NPort 5200 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration SNMP Settings Community name Setting Factory Default Necessity 1 to 39 characters public Optional (E.g., Support, 886-89191230 #300) A community name is a plain-text password mechanism that is used to authenticate queries weakly to agents of managed network devices.

Necessity Required 1 to 99 min: NPort 5200 automatically closes the TCP connection if there is no TCP activity for the given time.
NPort 5200 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Max connection is usually used when the user needs to receive data from different hosts simultaneously. The factory default is 1. In this case, only one specific host can access this port of the NPort 5200, and the Real COM driver on that host will have full control over the port. Max. connection 1: Allows only 1 host’s Real COM driver to open the specific NPort 5200 serial port.
NPort 5200 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Delimiter 1 Setting 00 to FF (hex) Delimiter 2 Setting Factory Default Necessity 0 Required Factory Default Necessity 00 to FF (hex) 0 Required Once the NPort 5200 receives both delimiters through its serial port, it immediately packs all data currently in its buffer and sends it to the NPort 5200’s Ethernet port. ATTENTION Delimiter 2 is optional. If left blank, then Delimiter 1 alone trips clearing of the buffer.
NPort 5200 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 5200 should send that series of characters during a time interval less than the Force transmit timeout for NPort 5200, and the total length of data must be less than or equal to NPort 5200’s internal buffer size. The serial communication buffer size for NPort 5200 is 1 KB per port.
NPort 5200 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration status between the NPort 5200 and remote host by sending “keep alive” packets periodically. If the remote host does not respond to the packet, NPort 5200 assumes that the connection was closed down unintentionally. NPort 5200 will then force the existing TCP connection to close. ATTENTION The Inactivity time should at least be larger than Force transmit timeout.
NPort 5200 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Delimiter 1 Setting 00 to FF Delimiter 2 Setting Factory Default Necessity blank Optional Factory Default Necessity 00 to FF blank Optional Once the NPort 5200 receives both delimiters through its serial port, it immediately packs all data currently in its buffer and sends it out the NPort 5200’s Ethernet port. ATTENTION Delimiter 2 is optional. If left blank, then Delimiter 1 alone trips clearing of the buffer.
NPort 5200 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration 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. If the user wants to send a series of characters in the same packet, the serial device attached to NPort 5200 should send that series of characters during a time interval less than the Force transmit timeout for NPort 5200, and the total length of data must be less than or equal to NPort 5200’s internal buffer size.
NPort 5200 Series User’s Manual Web Console Configuration 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.

NPort 5200 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 is DHCP Client. When you set up 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, but the NPort will send a DHCP request again to the DHCP Server.
