NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL Series Operation Mode Advanced Settings
Overview
The device port operation mode determines how the port interacts with the network. Depending on your
application and device, more than one operating mode may be suitable. When setting the operation mode,
different parameters may be adjusted depending on the operation mode.
For each mode, the default settings should work for most applications. Modify these settings only if absolutely
necessary for your application. The operation mode and related parameters can be configured through NPort
Administrator. The same parameters may also be configured using the web console, Telnet console, or serial
console.

When to Make Adjustments
The default settings for each operation mode are designed to work for most applications, and usually do not
need to be modified. However, adjustments may be required for the following situations:
• You need to control network data packing using specific delimiter characters. Adjust Delimiters 1 and 2
and Delimiter process.
• Multiple hosts will simultaneously access the attached device. Adjust Max Connection, Ignore Jammed
IP, and Allow driver control.
• Data will be broadcast from the serial device to multiple network destinations. Adjust Destination IP 1
through 4.
