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).
Application software that is based on the COM driver will receive a driver response of “success” when the software uses any of the Win32 API functions. The firmware will only send the data back to the driver on the host.
Data will be sent
ATTENTION
When Max connection is set to 2, 3, or 4, this means that NPort 5110 will be using a “multi connection application” (i.e., 2, 3, or 4 hosts are allowed access to the port at the same time). When using a multi connection application, NPort 5110 will use the serial communication parameters set in the console. All of the hosts connected to that port must use the same serial settings. If one of the hosts opens the COM port with parameters that are different from NPort 5110’s console setting, data communication may not work properly.
Delimiter 1
Setting | Factory Default | Necessity |
00 to FF (hex) | None | Optional |
Delimiter 2 |

Setting | Factory Default | Necessity |
00 to FF (hex) | 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 to the NPort 5110’s Ethernet port.
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 5110 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 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. If data is incoming through the serial port, NPort 5110 stores the data in the internal buffer. NPort 5110 transmits data stored in the buffer via TCP/IP, but only if the internal
