NPort W2250/2150 Plus User’s Manual Web Console Configuration
5-15
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 W2250/2150 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 Optional
0: Disable force transmit timeout.
1 to 65535: Forces the NPort W2250/2150’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 W2250/2150 fetches the serial data
from its internal buffer. If data is incoming through the serial port, NPort W2250/2150 stores the
data in the internal buffer. NPort W2250/2150 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
under Force transmit timeout.
The optimal Force transmit timeout depends on your application, but it must be at least larger than
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 needed 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 to be larger than 8.3 ms, so in this case, it must be greater
than or equal to 10 ms.
If you want to send a series of characters in the same packet, the serial device attached to NPort
W2250/2150 should send that series of characters during a time interval less than the Force
transmit timeout, and the total length of data must be less than or equal to NPort W2250/2150’s
internal buffer size. The serial communication buffer size for NPort W2250/2150 is 1 KB per port.
TCP Server Mode
Local TCP Port
Setting Factory Default Necessity
1 to 65535 4001 Required
The “Local TCP port” is the TCP port that NPort W2250/2150 uses to listen to connections, and
that other devices must use to contact NPort W2250/2150. To avoid conflicts with well known
TCP ports, the default is set to 4001.
