NPort 5000 Series User Manual
Parameter Setting
Default
Description Necessity
Delimiter 2 00 to FF None
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.
Optional
Delimiter
process
Do nothing,
Delimiter + 1,
Delimiter + 2,
Strip Delimiter
Do nothing
[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.,
stripped), and the remaining data is
transmitted.
[Do nothing]: The data will be transmitted
when the Delimiter is received.
Optional
Force Transmit 0 to 65535 ms 0 ms
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 the NPort fetches the serial data
from its internal buffer. If data is incoming
through the serial port, the NPort stores the
data in the internal buffer. The 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 under Force Transmit timeout.
Optional
Destination IP
address 1
range
E.g., Begin:
192.168.1.1
End:
192.168.1.10
Begin: Empty
End: Empty
Port: 4001
N/A Required
Destination IP
address 2/3/4
N/A Optional
Local listen
port
1 to 65535 4001
The UDP port that the NPort listens to, and
that other devices must use to contact the
NPort. To avoid conflicts with well-known UDP
ports, the default is set to 4001.
Required
NOTE
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 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.
