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 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 1K, 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.

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 NPort fetches the serial data from its internal buffer. If there is incoming data through the serial port, NPort stores data in the internal buffer. NPort 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 as Force Transmit timeout.

Optimal force transmit timeout differs according to your application, but it must be at least as large as 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. 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 (ms/s) = 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.

If the user wants to send a series of character in a packet, the serial device attached to NPort 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 NPort’s internal buffer size. NPort’s serial communication buffer size is 1K bytes per port.

Local TCP port

Setting

Factory Default

Necessity

1 to 65535

4001

Required

 

 

 

The TCP port that NPort uses to listen to connections, and that other devices must use to contact NPort. To avoid conflicts with well known TCP ports, the default is set to 4001.

Command port

Setting

Factory Default

Necessity

1 to 65535

966

Optional

The command port is a listen TCP port for IP-Serial Lib commands from the host. In order to prevent a TCP port conflict with other applications, the user can adjust the command port to another port if needed. And IP-Serial Lib will automatically check out the Command Port on NPort so that the user does not need to configure the program.
