NPort 6000 Series Configuring Serial Port Operation Modes
the next group of data. If you select Enable, the port will ignore the host that stopped responding and continue
data transmission to the other hosts.
Secure (default=Disable): If you select Enable, data sent through the Ethernet will be encrypted with SSL.
Destination address 1 through 4 (default=None): Specifying an IP address allows the NPort 6000 to
connect actively to the remote host. At least one destination must be provided.
TCP port (default=4001): This is the TCP port number assignment for the serial port on the NPort 6000. It
is the port number that the serial port uses to listen to connections, and that other devices must use to contact
the serial port. To avoid conflicts with well-known TCP ports, the default is set to 4001.
four connections can be established between the NPort 6000 and hosts. The connection speed or
throughput may be low if any one of the four connections is slow, since the one slow connection will
three connections.
Destination IP
address parameter can be the IP address, domain name, or the name defined in the host
table. For some applications, the user may need to send the data actively to the remote destination domain
name.
Designated local port 1 through 4 (default=5010 through 5013): Use these fields to specify the
designated local ports.
Connection control (default=Startup/None): This setting determines the parameters under which a TCP
connection is established or disconnected. The different options are given in the following table. In general,
both the Connect conditions and Disconnect conditions are given.
Option Description
Startup/None (default) A TCP connection will be established on startup and will remain active indefinitely.
Any Character/None A TCP connection will be established when any character is received from the serial
interface and will remain active indefinitely.
Any Character/
Inactivity Time
A TCP connection will be established when any character is received from the serial
interface and will be disconnected when Inactivity time is reached.
DSR On/DSR Off A TCP connection will be established when a DSR “On” signal is received and will be
disconnected when a DSR “Off” signal is received.
DSR On/None A TCP connection will be established when a DSR “On” signal is received and will
remain active indefinitely.
DCD On/DCD Off A TCP connection will be established when a DCD “On” signal is recei
be disconnected when a DCD “Off” signal is received.
DCD On/None
A TCP connection will be established when a DCD “On” signal is received and will
remain active indefinitely.
Packet length (default=0): This field refers to the maximum amount of data that is allowed to accumulate
in the serial port buffer before sending. At the default of 0 for packet length, no maximum amount is specified
and data in the buffer will be sent as specified by the delimiter settings or when the buffer is full. When a packet
length between 1 and 1024 bytes is specified, data in the buffer will be sent as soon it reaches the specified
length.
Delimiter 1 and Delimiter 2 (default=None): When Delimiter 1 is enabled, the serial port will clear the
buffer and send the data to the Ethernet port when a specific character, entered in hex format, is received. A
second delimiter character may be enabled and specified in the Delimiter 2 field, so that both characters act as
the delimiter to indicate when data should be sent.
