NPort S8000 Series Getting Started Dimensions NPort S8455 series Connecting the Hardware This section describes how to connect the NPort S8000 to serial devices for initial testing purposes. We cover Wiring Requirements, Connecting the Power, Grounding the NPort S8000, Connecting to the Network, Connecting to a Serial Device, and LED Indicators.
NPort S8000 Series Getting Started Wiring Requirements ATTENTION Safety First! Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your NPort S8000. Wiring Caution! Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
NPort S8000 Series Getting Started Connecting to the Network Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the NPort S8000’s 10/100M Ethernet port and the other end of the cable to the Ethernet network. If the cable is properly connected, the NPort S8000 will indicate a valid connection to the Ethernet in the following ways: • The Ethernet LED maintains a solid green color when connected to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network. • The Ethernet LED will flash when Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received.

When using RS-232. Doing so will degrade the RS-232 signals and reduce the effective communication distance. Wiring the Relay Contact The NPort 8455I-MM-SChas two sets of relay output—relay 1 and relay 2.
NPort S8000 Series Getting Started Take the following steps to wire the digital inputs: 1. Insert the negative (ground)/positive DI wires into the ┴/I1 terminals. 2. To keep the DI wires from pulling loose, use a small flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the wire-clamp screws on the front of the terminal block connector. 3. Insert the plastic terminal block connector prongs into the terminal block receptor, which is located on the NPort 8455I-MM-SC’s top panel.
3 3. Initial IP Address Configuration When setting up the NPort S8000 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.
NPort S8000 Series Initial IP Address Configuration Static and Dynamic IP Addresses Determine whether your NPort S8000 needs to use a static IP or dynamic IP address (either DHCP or BOOTP application). • If your NPort S8000 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 S8000 is used in a dynamic IP environment, the IP address will be assigned automatically from over the network.
NPort S8000 Series Initial IP Address Configuration 3. Execute the arp -s command from your computer’s MS-DOS prompt as follows: arp -s For example, C:\> arp -s 192.168.200.100 00-90-E8-04-00-11 4. Next, execute a special Telnet command by entering the following exactly: telnet 192.168.200.100 6000 When you enter this command, a Connect failed message will appear, as shown below. 5.
NPort S8000 Series Initial IP Address Configuration 2. The console terminal type selection is displayed as shown. Enter 1 for ansi/vt100 and press ENTER to continue. 3. Enter the console password if you are prompted to do so, and press ENTER. 4. Press B or use the arrow keys to select Basic, and then press ENTER.
NPort S8000 Series Initial IP Address Configuration 5. Press N or use the arrow keys to select Network, and then press ENTER. 6. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to IP address. Use the DELETE, BACKSPACE, or SPACE keys to erase the current IP address, and then type in the new IP address and press ENTER. Note that if you are using a dynamic IP configuration (BOOTP, SHCP, etc.), you will need to go to the Auto IP configuration field and press ENTER to select the appropriate configuration. 7.
NPort S8000 Series Initial IP Address Configuration 8. Press ESC to return to previous page. Serial Console The NPort S8000 supports configuration through the serial console, which is the same as the Telnet console but accessed through the RS-232 console port rather than through the network. Once you have entered the serial console, the configuration options and instructions are the same as if you were using the Telnet console.
NPort S8000 Series Initial IP Address Configuration 4. The Property window opens automatically. Select the Communication Parameter tab, then select the appropriate COM port for the connection (COM1 in this example). Configure the parameters for 19200, 8, N, 1 (19200 for Baud Rate, 8 for Data Bits, None for Parity, and 1 for Stop Bits). 5. From the Property window’s Terminal page, select ANSI or VT100 for Terminal Type and click OK.
NPort S8000 Series Initial IP Address Configuration 7. The main menu should come up. Once you are in the console, you may configure the IP address through the Network menu item, just as with the Telnet console. Please refer to steps 4 to 8 in the Telnet Console section to complete the initial IP configuration.
4 4. Choosing the Serial Operation Mode In this chapter, we describe the various serial operation modes of the NPort S8000. 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 S8000 Series Choosing the Serial Operation Mode Overview The device server function of the NPort S8000 enables network operation of 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 S8000 Series Choosing the Serial Operation Mode RFC2217 Mode RFC-2217 mode is similar to Real COM mode. That is, a driver is used to establish a transparent connection between a host computer and a serial device by mapping the serial port on the NPort S8000 to a local COM port on the host computer. RFC2217 defines general COM port control options based on the Telnet protocol.
NPort S8000 Series Choosing the Serial Operation Mode UDP Mode Compared to TCP communication, UDP is faster and more efficient. In UDP mode, you can multicast data from the serial device to multiple host computers, and the serial device can also receive data from multiple host computers, making this mode ideal for message display applications. Disabled Mode When the Operation Mode for a particular port is set to Disabled, that port will be disabled.
5 5. Basic Settings and Device Server Configuration The Web Console is the most user-friendly way to configure the NPort S8000.

(To enable your browser for cookies, right click on your desktop Internet Explorer icon, select Properties, click on the Security tab, and then select the three Enable options as shown in the figure below.) 2. Type 192.168.127.254 in the Address input box (use the correct IP address if different from the default), and then press Enter. 3.
NPort S8000 Series Basic Settings and Device Server Configuration The NPort S8000 homepage will open. On this page, you can see a brief description of the Web Console. ATTENTION If you forgot the password, the ONLY way to start configuring the NPort is to load factory defaults by using the Reset button. ATTENTION Remember to export the configuration file when you have finished the configuration.
NPort S8000 Series Basic Settings and Device Server Configuration Basic Settings General Settings Server name Setting Factory Default Necessity 1 to 40 characters [model name]_[Serial No.] Optional This column is useful for specifying the application of this NPort device server. Server Location Setting Factory Default Necessity 1 to 80 characters Empty Optional This column is useful for specifying the location of this NPort device server.
NPort S8000 Series Basic Settings and Device Server Configuration Time Settings Time The NPort S8000 has a time calibration function based on information from an NTP server or user specified Time and Date information. Functions such as Auto warning “Email” can add real-time information to the message. ATTENTION There is a risk of explosion if the real-time clock battery is replaced with the wrong type! The NPort S8000’s real time clock is powered by a rechargeable battery.
NPort S8000 Series User adjustable date. Basic Settings and Device Server Configuration The End Date parameter allows users to enter the date that None daylight saving time ends. Offset Setting Description Factory Default User adjustable hour. The offset parameter indicates how many hours forward the None clock should be advanced.
NPort S8000 Series Basic Settings and Device Server Configuration The IP address must be unique within the network (otherwise, the NPort S8000 will not have a valid connection to the network). First time users can refer to Chapter 3, Initial IP Address Configuration, for more information. You can choose from four possible IP Configuration modes—Disable (Static) , DHCP, and BOOTP—located under the web console screen’s IP configuration drop-down box.
NPort S8000 Series Basic Settings and Device Server Configuration DNS IP Address Setting Description 1st DNS Server’s The IP address of the DNS Server used by your network. After None Factory Default IP Address entering the DNS Server’s IP address, you can input the NPort S8455-MM-SC’s URL (e.g., www.NPort S8455-MM-SC.company.com) in your browser’s address field, instead of entering the IP address. 2nd DNS Server’s The IP address of the DNS Server used by your network.
NPort S8000 Series Basic Settings and Device Server Configuration Real COM Mode Port Settings Max connection Setting Factory Default Necessity 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 1 Required This field is used if you need to receive data from different hosts simultaneously. When set to 1, only one specific host can access this port on the NPort S8000, and the Real COM driver on that host will have full control over the port.
NPort S8000 Series Basic Settings and Device Server Configuration Data will be sent first-in-first-out when data enters the NPort S8000 from the Ethernet interface. ATTENTION When Max connection is set to 2 to 8, this means that the NPort 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 will use the serial communication parameters set in the console.
NPort S8000 Series Basic Settings and Device Server Configuration specified in the Delimiter 2 field, so that both characters act as the delimiter to indicate when data should be sent. ATTENTION Delimiter 2 is optional. If left blank, then Delimiter 1 alone trips clearing of the buffer. If the size of the serial data received is greater than 1 KB, the NPort will automatically pack the data and send it to the Ethernet. However, to use the delimiter function, you must at least enable Delimiter 1.
NPort S8000 Series Basic Settings and Device Server Configuration RFC2217 Mode Port Settings TCP port (default=4001) This is the TCP port number assignment for the serial port on the NPort S8000. 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 S8000 Series Basic Settings and Device Server Configuration ATTENTION Delimiter 2 is optional. If left blank, then Delimiter 1 alone trips clearing of the buffer. If the size of the serial data received is greater than 1 KB, the NPort will automatically pack the data and send it to the Ethernet. However, to use the delimiter function, you must at least enable Delimiter 1. If Delimiter 1 is left blank and Delimiter 2 is enabled, the delimiter function will not work properly.
NPort S8000 Series Basic Settings and Device Server Configuration TCP Server Mode Port Settings Inactivity time Setting Factory Default Necessity 0 to 65535 ms 0 ms Optional 0 ms: TCP connection is not closed due to an idle serial line. 0-65535 ms: The NPort automatically closes the TCP connection if there is no serial data activity for the given time. After the connection is closed, the NPort starts listening for another host’s TCP connection.
NPort S8000 Series Basic Settings and Device Server Configuration Max connection Setting Factory Default Necessity 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 1 Required This field is used if you need to receive data from different hosts simultaneously. When set to 1, only one specific host can access this port of the NPort S8000, and the Real COM driver on that host will have full control over the port. When set to 2 or greater, up to the specified number of hosts’ Real COM drivers may open this port at the same time.
NPort S8000 Series Basic Settings and Device Server Configuration Default = 0, The Delimiter Process will be followed, regardless of the length of the data packet. If the data length (in bytes) matches the configured value, the data will be forced out. The data length can be configured for 0 to 1024 bytes. Set to 0 if you do not need to limit the length.
NPort S8000 Series Basic Settings and Device Server Configuration 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.
NPort S8000 Series Basic Settings and Device Server Configuration TCP Client Mode Port Settings Inactivity time Setting Factory Default Necessity 0 to 65535 ms 0 ms Optional 0 ms: TCP connection is not closed due to an idle serial line. 0-65535 ms: The NPort automatically closes TCP connection, if there is no serial data activity for the given time. This parameter defines the maintenance status as Closed or Listen on the TCP connection.
NPort S8000 Series Basic Settings and Device Server Configuration ATTENTION Inactivity time is ONLY active when “TCP connect on” is set to “Any character.” Ignore jammed IP Setting Factory Default Necessity Enable or Disable Disable Optional Previously, if “max connection” was greater than 1, the serial device was transmitting data, and a connected host was not responding, the NPort would wait until the data was transmitted successfully before transmitting the second group of data to all hosts.
NPort S8000 Series Basic Settings and Device Server Configuration Force transmit Setting Factory Default Necessity 0 to 65535 ms 0 ms Optional 0: Disable the force transmit timeout. 1 to 65535: Forces the NPort’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 the NPort fetches the serial data from its internal buffer.

6 6. Switch Featured Functions This chapter explains how to access the NPort S8000’s various configuration, monitoring, and administration functions. There are three ways to access these functions: RS-232 console, Telnet console, and web browser. The serial console connection method, which requires using a short serial cable to connect the NPort S8000 to a PC’s COM port, can be used if you do not know the NPort S8000’s IP address.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions Ethernet Settings Port Settings Enable Setting Description Factory Default Checked Allows data transmission through the port. Enabled Unchecked Immediately shuts off port access. ATTENTION If a connected device or sub-network is wreaking havoc on the rest of the network, the Disable option under Advanced Settings/Port gives the administrator a quick way to shut off access through this port immediately.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions MDI/MDIX Setting Description Factory Default Auto Allows the port to auto detect the port type of the opposing Auto Ethernet device and change the port type accordingly. MDI Choose the MDI or MDIX option if the opposing Ethernet device MDIX has trouble auto-negotiating port type. Port Trunking Using Port Trunking Link Aggregation allows one or more links to be aggregated together to form a Link Aggregation Group.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions The Port Trunking Settings page is used to assign ports to a Trunk Group. 1. Select Trk1, Trk2 from the Trunk Group drop-down box. 2. Select Static, or LACP from the Trunk Type drop-down box. 3. Under Member Ports and Available Ports, select the specific ports. 4. Use the Up / Down buttons to add/remove designated ports to/from a trunk group.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions The Communication Redundancy function allows the user to set up redundant loops in the network to provide a backup data transmission route in the event that a cable is inadvertently disconnected or damaged. This feature is particularly important for industrial applications, since it could take several minutes to locate the disconnected or severed cable.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions Determining the Redundant Path of a “Turbo Ring” Ring In this case, the redundant segment (i.e., the segment that will be blocked during normal operation) is determined by the number of NPort S8000 that make up the ring, and where the ring master is located.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions separate the devices into different smaller redundant rings, but in such a way that they can still communicate with each other. ATTENTION In a VLAN environment, the user must set “Redundant Port,” “Coupling Port,” and “Coupling Control Port” to join all VLANs, since these ports act as the “backbone” to transmit all packets of different VLANs to different NPort S8000.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions ATTENTION Ring Coupling only needs to be enabled on one of the switches serving as the Ring Coupler. The Coupler must designate different ports as the two Turbo Ring ports and the coupling port. NOTE You do not need to use the same NPort S8000 unit for both Ring Coupling and Ring Master. Dual-Ring Configuration (applies only to “Turbo Ring V2”) The “dual-ring” option provides another ring coupling configuration, in which two adjacent rings share one switch.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions Configuring “Turbo Ring” NOTE The user does not need to set the master to use Turbo Ring. If no master is set, the Turbo Ring protocol will assign master status to one of the NPort S8000 in the ring. The master is only used to determine which segment serves as the backup path. Redundancy Protocol Setting Description Turbo Ring Select this item to change to the Turbo Ring configuration page.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions Coupling Control Port Setting Description Factory Default Coupling Control Port Select any port of the NPort S8000 to be the coupling control port 3 port Configuring “Turbo Ring V2” NOTE When using the Dual-Ring architecture, users must configure settings for both Ring 1 and Ring 2. In this case, the status of both rings will appear under “Current Status.” NOTE The user does not need to set the master to use Turbo Ring.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions Set as Master Setting Description Factory Default Enabled Select this NPort S8000 as Master Not checked Disabled Do not select this NPort S8000 as Master Redundant Ports Setting Description 1st Port Select any port of the NPort S8000 to be one of the redundant Ring 1: port 4 Factory Default ports. 2nd Port Ring 2: port 5 Select any port of the NPort S8000 to be one of the redundant Ring 1: port 2 ports.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions Setting up Turbo Chain 1. Select the Head switch, Tail switch, and Member switches. 2. Configure one port as the Head port and one port as the Member port in the Head switch, configure one port as the Tail port and one port as the Member port in the Tail switch, and configure two ports as Member ports in each of the Member switches. 3. Connect the Head switch, Tail switch, and Member switches as shown in the diagram.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions Member Switch Configuration Tail Switch Configuration Current Status Now Active Shows which communication protocol is in use: Turbo Ring, Turbo Ring V2, RSTP, Turbo Chain or None. The “Ports Status” indicators show Forwarding for normal transmission, Blocked if this port is connected to the Tail port as a backup path and the path is blocked, and Link down if there is no connection.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions Head Port Select any port of the S8000 series to be the head port. S8000 series: port 4 Member Port Select any port of the S8000 series to be the member port.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions LAN 1 Bridge B Bridge A LAN 2 Bridge C LAN 3 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 S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions How STP Works When enabled, STP determines the most appropriate path for traffic through a network. The way it does this is outlined in the sections below. STP Requirements Before STP can configure the network, the system must satisfy the following requirements: Communication between all the bridges. This communication is carried out using Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs), which are transmitted in packets with a known multicast address.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions trigger the bridge to reconfigure the network to account for the change. If you have configured an SNMP trap destination, when the topology of your network changes, the first bridge to detect the change sends out an SNMP trap.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions To avoid subdividing VLANs, all inter-switch connections should be made members of all available 802.1Q VLANs. This will ensure connectivity at all times. For example, the connections between Switches A and B, and between Switches A and C should be 802.1Q tagged and carrying VLANs 1 and 2 to ensure connectivity. See the “Configuring Virtual LANs” section for more information about VLAN Tagging.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions topology. Hello time (sec.) Setting Description Factory Default Numerical value input The root of the Spanning Tree topology periodically sends out a 2 by user “hello” message to other devices on the network to check if the topology is healthy. The “hello time” is the amount of time the root waits between sending hello messages.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions Hello Time = 5 sec, Max. Age = 20 sec, and Forwarding Delay = 4 sec does not violate Eqs. 1 through 3, but does violate Eq. 4, since in this case, 2 * (Hello Time + 1 sec) = 12 sec, and 2 * (Forwarding Delay – 1 sec) = 6 sec. You can remedy the situation in many ways. One solution is simply to increase the Forwarding Delay value to at least 11 sec.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions Line Swap Fast Recovery Using Line-Swap-Fast-Recovery The Line-Swap Fast Recovery function, which is enabled by default, allows the NPort S8000 to return to normal operation extremely quickly after devices are unplugged and then re-plugged into different ports. The recovery time is on the order of a few milliseconds (compare this with standard commercial switches for which the recovery time could be on the order of several minutes).
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions The Traffic Prioritization Concept What is Traffic Prioritization? Traffic prioritization allows you to prioritize data so that time-sensitive and system-critical data can be transferred smoothly and with minimal delay over a network. The benefits of using traffic prioritization are: • Improve network performance by controlling a wide variety of traffic and managing congestion. • Assign priorities to different categories of traffic.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions Differentiated Services (DiffServ) Traffic Marking DiffServ is a Layer 3 marking scheme that uses the DiffServ Code Point (DSCP) field in the IP header to store the packet priority information. DSCP is an advanced intelligent method of traffic marking as you can choose how your network prioritizes different types of traffic. DSCP uses 64 values that map to user-defined service levels, allowing you to establish more control over network traffic.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions QoS Classification The NPort S8000 supports inspection of layer 3 TOS and/or layer 2 CoS tag information to determine how to classify traffic packets. Queuing Mechanism Setting Weighted Fair Description Factory Default The NPort S8000 has 4 priority queues. In the weighted fair Weight Fair scheme, an 8, 4, 2, 1 weighting is applied to the four priorities.
NPort S8000 Series NOTE NOTE Switch Featured Functions The priority of an ingress frame is determined in order by: 1. Inspect TOS 2. Inspect CoS 3. Port Highest Priority The designer can enable these classifications individually or in combination. For instance, if a ‘hot,’ higher priority port is required for a network design, “Inspect TOS” and “Inspect CoS” can be disabled.
NPort S8000 Series Switch Featured Functions ToS/DiffServ Mapping Setting Description Factory Default Low Set the mapping table of different TOS values to 4 different 1 to 16: Low Normal egress queues. 17 to 32: Normal Medium 33 to 48: Medium High 49 to 64: High Virtual LAN Using Virtual LAN Setting up Virtual LANs (VLANs) on your NPort S8000 increases the efficiency of your network by dividing the LAN into logical segments, as opposed to physical segments.
