Network Protocols

The VMSE product uses TCP/IP protocols for network communication. The supported standards are: ARP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, Telnet, TFTP, DHCP, and SNMP. For transparent connections, TCP/IP (binary stream) or Telnet protocols are used. Firmware upgrades can be made with the TFTP protocol.

The IP protocol defines addressing, routing and data block handling over the network. The TCP (transmission control protocol) assures that no data is lost or duplicated, and that everything sent into the connection on one side arrives at the target exactly as it was sent.

For typical datagram applications where devices interact with others without maintaining a point to point connection, a UDP datagram is used.

Packing Algorithm (PassThru Firmware only)

The two available packet algorithms (which define how and when packets are sent to the network) are software selectable. The standard algorithm is optimized for applications where VMSE is used in a local environment, allowing for very small delays for single characters while trying to keep the packet count low. The alternate packing algorithm minimizes the packet count on the network, and is especially useful for applications in routed Wide Area Networks. Various parameters can be set in this mode to economize the serial data stream.

IP Address

Every active device connected to the TCP/IP network must have a unique IP address. This IP address is used to reference a specific device, for example, to build a connection to the VMSE’s serial port. See Appendix A for a complete description of IP Addressing.
