NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL Series The IP Serial Library
Overview
What is the IP Serial Library?
The IP Serial Library is a Windows library with frequently used serial command sets and subroutines. It is
designed to reduce the complexity and improve the efficiency of serial communication over TCP/IP. For
example, Telnet can transfer data but cannot monitor or configure the serial line’s parameters.
Why use the IP Serial Library?
For programmers who are familiar with serial communication, the IP Serial Library provides well-designed
function calls in the style of Moxa’s PComm Library. It is simple and easy for programmers to understand. You
can include the library in your Visual Basic, C, or Delphi programming environment and easily develop your own
TCP/IP application with the ability to control serial communication parameters.
With the Real COM driver, two TCP ports are required for communication between the NPort and the host
computer. The IP Serial Library requires one command port to communicate with the NPort. Serial
communication can be controlled with just one TCP port (e.g., RFC 2217). The IP Serial Library not only runs
with excellent efficiency but also runs without any decode or encode problems.
How do I install the IP Serial Library?
The IP Serial Library comes with the NPort Administration Suite. Please refer to the IP Serial directory for
details about the available functions.
