Moxa Technologies NPort 5600 user manual Packing length, Delimiter

NPort 5600 Series User’s Manual		Configuring NPort Administrator
	Allow driver control
	Setting	Factory Default	Necessity
	No or Yes	No	Required

If “max connection” is greater than 1, NPort will ignore driver control commands from all connected hosts. However, if you set “Allow driver control” to YES, control commands will be accepted. Note that since NPort 5200 may get configuration changes from multiple hosts, the most recent command received will take precedence.

Packing length

Setting	Factory Default	Necessity
0 to 1024	0	Required

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.

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 receives both delimiters through its serial port, it immediately packs all data currently in its buffer and sends it to the NPort’s Ethernet port.

Delimiter process

Setting	Factory Default	Necessity
Do nothing, Delimiter + 1, Delimiter +	Do Nothing	Required
2, Strip Delimiter

When [Delimiter + 1] or [Delimiter + 2] is selected, the data will be transmitted when an additional byte (for Delimiter +1), or an additional 2 bytes (for Delimiter +2) of data is received after receiving the Delimiter. When [Strip Delimiter] is selected, when the Delimiter is received, the Delimiter is deleted (i.e., stripped), and the remaining data is transmitted. When [Do nothing] is selected, the data will be transmitted when the Delimiter is received.

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.
