3 3. Initial IP Address Configuration When setting up your NPort 5100 for the first time, you should first configure the IP address. This chapter introduces the method to configure the device server’s IP address. For more details about network settings, see the Network Settings section from Chapter 5, Web Console Configuration.
NPort 5100 Series Initial IP Address Configuration Initializing the NPort 5100’s IP Address 1. Determine whether your NPort 5100 needs to use a Static IP or Dynamic IP (either DHCP or BOOTP application). 2. If the NPort 5100 is used in a Static IP environment, you can use NPort 5100 Administration Suite, ARP, Web Console, Telnet Console, or Serial Console to configure the new IP address. 3.
NPort 5100 Series Initial IP Address Configuration Take the following steps to use ARP to configure the IP address: 1. Obtain a valid IP address for your NPort 5100 from your network administrator. 2. Obtain the NPort 5100’s MAC address from the label on its bottom panel. 3. Execute the ‘arp -s’ command from your computer’s MS-DOS prompt by typing: arp –s 192.168.200.100 00-90-E8-xx-xx-xx This is where 192.168.200.
NPort 5100 Series Initial IP Address Configuration 4. Type 2 to select Network settings, and then press Enter. 5. Type 1 to select IP address and then press Enter. 6. Use the Backspace key to erase the current IP address, type in the new IP address, and then press Enter. 7. Press any key to continue.
NPort 5100 Series Initial IP Address Configuration 8. Type m and then press Enter to return to the main menu. 9. Type s and then press Enter to Save/Restart the system. 10. Type y and then press Enter to save the new IP address and restart the NPort 5100. Serial Console (19200, n, 8, 1) You may use the RS-232/422/485 console port to set up the IP address for NPort 5100.
NPort 5100 Series Initial IP Address Configuration 4. The Property window opens automatically. From the Communication Parameter page, select the appropriate COM port for the connection, COM1 in this example, and 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 then click OK.
NPort 5100 Series Initial IP Address Configuration 9. Start configuring the IP address under Network Settings. Refer to step 4 in the Telnet Console section for the rest of the IP settings.
4 4. Choosing the Proper Operation Mode In this section, we describe the various NPort 5100 operation modes. The options include Real COM Mode, which 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 5100 Series Choosing the Proper Operation Mode Overview NPort 5100 serial device servers network-enable traditional RS-232/422/485 devices, in which a serial 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 5100 Series Choosing the Proper Operation Mode ATTENTION Real COM Mode allows several hosts to have access control to the same NPort 5100. The driver that comes with your NPort 5100 controls host access to attached serial devices by checking the host’s IP address. Refer to the Accessible IP Settings section of Chapter 5 for more details. TCP Server Mode In TCP Server Mode, NPort 5100 is configured with a unique IP:Port combination on a TCP/IP network.
NPort 5100 Series Choosing the Proper Operation Mode UDP Mode Compared to TCP communication, UDP is faster and more efficient. In UDP mode, you can unicast or multicast data from the serial device to one or multiple host computers, and the serial device can also receive data from one or multiple host computers, making this mode ideal for message display applications.
NPort 5100 Series Choosing the Proper Operation Mode Reverse Telnet Mode Console management is commonly used by connecting to Console/AUX or COM ports of routers, switches, and UPS units. Rtelnet works the same as TCP Server mode in that only one TCP port is listened to after booting up. The system then waits for a host on the network to initiate a connection. The difference is that the TCP Server mode does not provide the conversion function provided by Telnet.
5 5. Web Console Configuration The Web Console is the most user-friendly method available to configure NPort 5100. In this chapter, we introduce the Web Console function groups and function definitions.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration Opening Your Browser 1. Open your browser with the cookie function enabled. (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. Input the password if prompted.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration 4. The NPort 5100 homepage will open next. On this page, you can see a brief description of the Web Console’s nine function groups. ATTENTION If you can’t remember the password, the ONLY way to start configuring the NPort 5100 is to load factory defaults by using the Reset button located near the NPort 5100’s RJ45 Ethernet port. Remember to use NPort Administrator to export the configuration file when you have finished the configuration.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration Web/Telnet Console The “Disable” option for “Web Console” and “Telnet Console” is included for security reasons. In some cases, you may want to disable one or both of these console utilities as an extra precaution to prevent unauthorized users from accessing your NPort 5100. The factory default for both Web console and Telnet console is Enable.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration IP configuration Method Function Definition Static User defined IP address, Netmask, Gateway. DHCP DHCP Server assigned IP address, Netmask, Gateway, DNS, and Time Server DHCP/BOOTP DHCP Server assigned IP address, Netmask, Gateway, DNS, and Time Server, or BOOTP Server assigned IP address (if the DHCP Server does not respond) BOOTP BOOTP Server assigns IP address IP address Setting Factory Default Necessity E.g., 192.168.1.1 (IP 192.168.127.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration When the user wants to visit a particular website, the computer asks a Domain Name System (DNS) server for the website’s correct IP address, and then the computer uses the response to connect to the web server. DNS is the way that Internet domain names are identified and translated into IP addresses. A domain name is an alphanumeric name, such as moxa.com, that it is usually easier to remember.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration Auto report to IP Setting Factory Default Necessity E.g., 192.168.1.1 or None Optional URL (IP addresses of the form x.x.x.0 and x.x.x.255 are invalid.) Reports generated by the Auto report function will be automatically sent to this IP address. Auto report to TCP port Setting Factory Default Necessity E.g.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration Serial Parameters ATTENTION Check the serial communication parameters in your Serial Device’s user’s manual. You should set up NPort 5100’s serial parameters with the same communication parameters used by your serial devices. Baudrate Setting Factory Default Necessity 110 bps to 230.4 Kbps 115.2 Kbps Required Setting Factory Default Necessity 5, 6, 7, 8 8 Required (NPort 5110) 110 bps to 921.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration Operating Settings Click Operating Settings, located under Main Menu, to display the operating settings for both of NPort 5100’s serial ports. Real COM Mode TCP alive check time Setting Factory Default Necessity 0 to 99 min 7 min Optional 0 min: TCP connection is not closed due to an idle TCP connection. 1 to 99 min: NPort 5100 automatically closes the TCP connection if there is no TCP activity for the given time.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration data tunnel without control ability. That is, this serial port parameter will use the 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.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console 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 5100 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 5100 Series Web Console Configuration TCP Server Mode TCP alive check time Setting Factory Default Necessity 0 to 99 min 7 min Optional 0 min: TCP connection is not closed due to an idle TCP connection. 1 to 99 min: The NPort 5100 automatically closes the TCP connection if there is no TCP activity for the given time. After the connection is closed, the NPort 5100 starts listening for another host’s TCP connection.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration Max connection is usually used when the user needs to receive data from different hosts simultaneously. The factory default only allows 1 connection at a time. Max. connection 1: NPort only allows 1 host to open the TCP connection to the specific serial port. Max connection 2 to 4: Allows 2 to 4 host’s TCP connection request to open this NPort 5100 serial port, at the same time.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration Delimiter process Setting Factory Default Necessity Do nothing Do Nothing Optional Delimiter + 1, Delimiter + 2 Strip Delimiter [Delimiter + 1] or [Delimiter + 2]: 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. [Strip Delimiter]: When the Delimiter is received, the Delimiter is deleted (i.e.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration TCP Client Mode TCP alive check time Setting Factory Default Necessity 0 to 99 min 7 min Optional 0 min: TCP connection is not closed due to an idle TCP connection. 1 to 99 min: NPort 5100 automatically closes the TCP connection if there is no TCP activity for the given time. 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.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration ATTENTION Inactivity time is ONLY active when “TCP connect on” is set to “Any character.” Ignore jammed IP Setting Factory Default Necessity No or Yes No Optional Previously, when Max connections > 1, and the serial device is transmitting data, if any one of the connected hosts is not responding, it will wait until the data has been transmitted successfully before transmitting the second group of data to all hosts.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration 0: Disable the force transmit timeout. 1 to 65535: Forces the NPort 5100’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 5100 fetches the serial data from its internal buffer. If data is incoming through the serial port, NPort 5100 stores the data in the internal buffer.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration Connection control Setting Factory Default Necessity Startup/None, Any Startup/None Required Character/None, Any Character/Inactivity Time, DSR ON/DSR OFF, DSR ON/None, DCD ON/DCD OFF, DCD ON/None The meaning of each of the above settings is given in the table below. In general, both the Connect condition and Disconnect condition are given.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration Packing length Setting Factory Default Necessity 0 to 1024 0 Optional 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 5100 Series Web Console Configuration Therefore, you should set Force transmit timeout to be larger than 8.3 ms, so in this case, it must be greater than or equal to 10 ms. If the user wants to send a series of characters in the same packet, the serial device attached to NPort 5100 should send that series of characters during a time interval less than the Force transmit timeout for NPort 5100, and the total length of data must be less than or equal to NPort 5100’s internal buffer size.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration 0 min: TCP connection is not closed due to an idle TCP connection. 1 to 99 min: The NPort 5100 closes the TCP connection automatically if there is no TCP activity for the given time. Destination IP address Setting Factory Default Necessity IP address or Domain blank Optional 4001 Required Name (E.g., 192.168.1.1) TCP port No. The Pair Connection “Master” will contact the network host that has this IP address.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration Ethernet Modem Mode Dial-in NPort 5100 listens for a TCP/IP connection request from the remote Ethernet modem or host. NPort 5100’s response depends on the ATS0 value, as outlined below. ATS0=0 (default): NPort 5100 will temporarily accept the TCP connection and then send the “RING” signal out through the serial port. The serial controller must reply with “ATA” within 2.5 seconds to accept the connection request, after which NPort 5100 enters data mode.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration No. AT command Description 1 ATA Answer manually 2 ATD : Dial up the IP address: Port No.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration 12 S11 DTMF duration and spacing (always=100 ms) 13 S12 Escape code guard time no action applied (default=50, unit 1/50 sec) to control the idle time for “+++” TCP alive check time Setting Factory Default Necessity 0 to 99 min 7 min Required 0 min: TCP connection is not closed due to an idle TCP connection. 1 to 99 min: NPort 5100 closes the TCP connection automatically if there is no TCP activity for the given time.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration If data received through NPort 5100’s Ethernet port is sent using the “enter” command, the data will be transmitted out the serial port with an added 1. “carriage return + line feed” if you select the option (i.e., the cursor will jump to the next line, and return to the first character of the line) 2. “carriage return” if you select the option (i.e., the cursor will return to the first character of the line) 3.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration Allowable Hosts Input format Any host Disable 192.168.1.120 192.168.1.120 / 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 192.168.1.0 / 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.254 192.168.0.0 / 255.255.0.0 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.126 192.168.1.0 / 255.255.255.128 192.168.1.129 to 192.168.1.254 192.168.1.128 / 255.255.255.
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration ATTENTION Consult your Network Administrator or ISP for the proper mail server settings. The Auto warning function may not work properly if it is not configured correctly. NPort 5100 SMTP AUTH supports LOGIN, PLAIN, CRAM-MD5 (RFC 2554).
NPort 5100 Series Web Console Configuration DCD changed The DCD (Data Carrier Detect) signal has changed, also indicating that the modem connection status has changed. For example, a DCD change to high also means “Connected” between local modem and remote modem. If the DCD signal changes to low, it also means that the connection line is down. When the DCD changes, the NPort 5110/5150 will immediately send an e-mail or send an SNMP trap.

B B. Well Known Port Numbers In this appendix, which is included for your reference, we provide a list of Well Known port numbers that may cause network problems if you set NPort 5100 to one of these ports. Refer to RFC 1700 for Well Known port numbers, or refer to the following introduction from the IANA. The port numbers are divided into three ranges: the Well Known Ports, the Registered Ports, and the Dynamic and/or Private Ports. The Well Known Ports range from 0 through 1023.

D D. Auto IP Report Protocol NPort Series provides several ways to configure Ethernet IP addresses. One of them is DHCP Client. When you set up the NPort to use DHCP Client to configure Ethernet IP addresses, it will automatically send a DHCP request over the Ethernet to find the DHCP Server. And then the DHCP Server will send an available IP address to the NPort. The NPort will use this IP address for a period of time after receiving it. But the NPort will send a DHCP request again to the DHCP Server.
NPort 5100 Series Auto IP Report Protocol ID List ID Value Description Length 1 Server Name Variable Note ASCII char 2 Hardware ID 2 Little-endian 3 MAC Address 6 6 bytes MAC address. If the MAC address is "00-90-E8-01-02-03", the MAC[0] is 0, MAC[1] is 0x90(hex), MAC[2] is 0xE8(hex), and so on.
