Overview

Your NPort 56 00-8-DT/DTL device server provides instant Ethernet ne two rk access to ind ustria l d ev ic e s through a serial connection. Devices such as PLCs, meters, and sensors can use the device server to connect to an IP-based Ethernet LAN, making the devi c e s access i b le from anywhere over a local LAN or the Internet. The device server’s space-saving design makes it ideal for many applications:

• Central monitoring and control of card readers , a larms , and electronic gate security systems in campus dormitories

• Dial-up access to private company servers

• Management of server farm devices (routers, hubs , switc hes) thr ough serial console ports

• Network access to medical diagnostic equipme nt

The device server provides different operation modes, such as TCP Server mode or UDP mode, to ensure compatibility with software us ing sta nd ard netw ork APIs (Winsock or BSD Sockets). Real COM and Real TTY drivers are included to allow easy, transparent operation using virtual COM/TTY ports over a TCP/IP network. The drivers help preserve your software investme nt by providing ins tant ne tw or k ac c ess with minimum disruption to existing systems.

Configuration can be done manually or using automatic IP protocols (DHCP or BOOTP) through the web console. NPort Administrator, a Windows utility , is provided for straightforward installation as well as storage and retrieval of all system parameters.

Product Features

The devic e serve r includes the following features:

• Compact desktop size

• Eight ports supporting RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 operation

• Socket operation modes including TC P Server mode , TCP Client mode, and UDP mode

• 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port(s) with auto-speed detection

• Multiple device ports with indepe nd e nt sele c tion of serial interface

• Built-in 15 KV ESD protection for all serial signals

• Supports SNMP MIB-II for network management

• Changeable voice alarm for exceptions (this fe ature is only available for HW Rev. 1.2 and earlier of the NPort 5600-8-DT)

Before You Begin

This chapter will walk you through the major steps of a typical installation and will offer advice on adjustments and options for specific applications. Please note that certain procedures will vary for your specific application and environment.

In these instructions, a Windows PC is used for configuration. For Linux or UNIX environments, please refer to Chapter 11.

Installation of the NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL is presente d in the fo llowing steps:

Step 1: Connect power, network and serial devices Step 2: Configure the device server’s IP settings Step 3: Configure each port’s operation mode Step 4: Configure each port’s serial communication settings Step 5: Map host COM ports to device ports (for Real COM mode)

Required Items

Make sure that you have the following items before beginning your installation:

• NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL device server

• Windows PC with live connection to the network (see Chap ter 11 for Linux /U NI X install ations)

• NPort Documentation & Software CD

• Ethernet cable

• Serial cable for device attachment

• Power adapter and power cord

• Make sure that you have the following information available before beginning your installation:

• IP address of your Windows PC

• IP address and subnet to be assigned to the device server

• TCP or UDP port number to be used for each device port

• Local COM port number to be used for each device port (for Real COM mode)

• Baudrate, parity, data bit, and stop bit settings for each device port

Wiring Guidelines

The following guidelines will help ens ure trouble-free signal communication with th e device ser ver.

• Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices to avoid inte rf er e nc e . Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. The r ul e of thumb is that wir ing that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.

• If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.

• Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.

• Label all wiring to each device in the system for easier testi ng and tr oubleshooting

Connect to Network

After placing the device server in its location, plug one end of the network cable into one of the device server’s Ethernet ports. Plug the other end of the cable to the network. Ther e are two Ether ne t ports on the NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL so you can easily daisy-chain multiple units together (the NPort 5600-8-DTL has one Ethernet port only).

Attach Serial Device

Use the serial cable to connect your serial device to a device port on the NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL. Make sure that you are familiar with your device’s serial communication settings (e.g., baudrate, stop bit, etc.). You will need to know these parameters when configuring the device server and drivers.

Adjustable Pull High/Low Resistors for RS-485

Termination resistors may be needed when connecting RS-485 devices to your NPort, in order to prevent the reflection of serial signals. The device port’s pull high/low resistors must then be set correctly t o prevent signal corruption.

• NPort 5600-8-DT: Use the DIP switches on the bottom panel to configure each device port’s pull high/low resistors. You will need to unscrew the DIP switch cover to access the DIP switc he s .

Overview

The NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL can be configured through NPort Administrator, the web console, the Telnet console, or the serial console. For each of these config uratio n inte rf ace s , par ame ter s are organiz e d by type . For this chapter, screenshots from the web console are used to illustrate the available parameters, but the same parameters can be modified using the other interf aces.

Basic Settings

Server name (default = blank): This is an optional free text field for your own use. It does not affect operation

of the NPort device server. It can be used to help differentiate o ne devic e ser ver from another.

Time zone (default = GMT Greenwich Mean Time): This field shows the currently selected time zone and allows you to select a different time zone.

Local time: This field shows the time that you last opened or refreshed the browser, using the NPort’s built-in real-time clock. You can adjust the real-time clock us ing this field. Make sure that you first select the correct time zone.

-time clock battery is replaced incorrectly!

Time server (default = blank): This optional field is for your time server’s IP address or domain name, if a time server is used in your network. The NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL supports SNTP (RFC-1769) for automatic time calibration. The device server will r e q uest time infor m ation from the specified time server every 10 minutes.

Web console (default = Enable): This f ie ld ena b les or dis able s acce ss to the web cons o le. Serial console (default = Enable): This field enables or disables access to the serial console (applie s to DTL

models only)

ATTENTION

If you disable both the web console and Telnet console, you can still use the LCM console or NPort Administrator to configure your NPort device server.

ATTENTION

You must assign a valid IP a environment. Your network system administrator should provide you with a unique IP address and related settings for your network

www.ipc2u.ru

www.moxa.pro

Telnet console (default = Enabl e ): This f i e ld enables or disables access to the Telnet console. LCM password protect (default = No): This field enables or disables password protection for the LCM console.

The LCM console refers to the LCD control panel on the top panel of the device server, which may be used for basic configuration.

Reset button protect (default = No): This field enables or disables reset butto n op erati on.

Network Settings

IP Address (default = 192.168.127.254): This field is for the IP address that will be assigned to yo ur NPor t

device server. All device ports on the device server will share this IP addres s . An IP address is a number assigned to a network device (such as a computer) as a permanent address on the network. Computers use the IP address to identify and talk to each other over the network. Choose a proper IP address that is unique and valid in your network environment. If your device serv er will be assig ne d a dynamic IP addr ess, set the “IP configuration” parameter appropriately.

Netmask (default = 255.255.255.0): This field is for the subnet mask. A subnet mask represents all of the network hosts at one geographic location, in one building, or on the same local area network. When a packet is sent out over the network, the NPort device server will use the subne t mask to check whether the desired TCP/IP host specified in the packet is on the local network segment. If the addre ss is on the sam e network segment as the device server, a connection is establishe d directly from the device server. Otherwise, the connection is established through the g a teway as spec ified in the “Gateway” parameter.

Gateway (default = blank): This field is for the IP address of the gateway, if applicable. A gateway is a network computer that acts as an entrance to another network. Usually, the computers that control traffic within the network or at the local Internet service provider are gateway nodes. The NPort device server needs to know the

IP configura tion (default = Static): This field determines how the device server’s IP address will be assigned. Four options are available:

Option Description

DHCP DH CP server-assigned IP address, netmask, gateway, DNS, and time server DHCP/BOOTP DHCP server-

or BOOTP server-assigned IP address (if the DHCP server does not respond)

BOOTP BOOTP server-assigned IP addre ss DNS server 1 (default = blank): This field is for the DNS server’s IP addres s , if app lic able. This allows the

NPort device server to use domain names instead of IP addresses to access hosts. Domain Name System (DNS) is the way that Internet domain names are identified and translated into IP

addresses. A domain name is an alphanumeric name, such as www.moxa.com, that it is usually e as i e r to remember than the numeric IP address. A DNS server is a host that translates a text-based domain name into an IP address in order to establish a TCP/IP connection. When the user wants to visit a particular website, the user’s computer sends the domain name (e.g., www.moxa.com) to a DNS server to request that website’s numeric IP address. When the IP address is received from the DNS serv er , the user’ s compute r use s that information to connect to the website’s web server.

The NPort will play the role of a DNS client, actively querying the DNS server for the IP address associated with a particular domain name. The following dev ic e serve r p arameters on the NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL support the use of domain names in place of IP addresses: Time Server, Destination IP Address (in TCP Client mode), Mail Server, SNMP Trap Server, Destination Addre ss (in Pair Connection mode), and SMTP Server.

DNS server 2: This is field is for an alternate DNS server’s IP address, if applicable. Community name (default = public): This optional field is for the community name, which is a plain-text

password mechanism for weak authenticatio n of queries to agents of managed network devices. Contact (default = blank): This optional field is for SNMP contact information, such as an emergency contact

name and telephone or pager number. Location (default = blank): This optional field may be used to specify the location string for SNMP agents. This

string is usually set to the street address where the NPort is physic all y loc ate d .

IP Address Reports:

The IP Address report settings are used when the NPort’s IP address is configured by DHCP or BOOTP (i.e., dynamic rather than static IP address). Using the se setting s , the NPor t c a n be config ure d to send per iod ic IP address reports to a network host. For example, if the NPort is operating as a server (TCP or UDP modes), then the host, operating as a client, must know the NPort’s IP address. If the DHCP server assigns a new IP address to NPort, the host needs to be notified of the NPort’s new IP address. The IP address reports can be used to resolve this situation.

Please refer to Chapter 8 for details on receiving automatic IP reports in NPort Administrator. Please refer to Appendix C for details on the IP report protocol.

The NPort’s IP addr e ss report must b e rece ive d by a network hos t us ing one of the following methods:

• The host is using NPort Administrator ’s IP Addr ess Repor t function.

• The host is running a user-developed application that uses the IP report protocol. Please refer to Appendix C for information about the IP report protocol.

5. Introduction to Operation Modes

In this chapter, we describe the various device port operation modes available on NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL device servers. The operation mode determines how the devic e port wi ll inte ract with the network. The selection of operation mode will depend on your specific app li c ation. After choosing the proper operation mode in this chapter, please refer to Chapter 6 for information on configuring the operation mode advanced settings.

The following topics are covered in this chapter:

Overview Real COM Mode RFC2217 Mode TCP Server Mode TCP Client Mode UDP Mode Pair Connection Modes Reverse Telnet Mode Disabled Mode

Real COM mode is designed to work with NPort drivers that are installed on a network host. COM drivers are provided for Windows systems , and TTY drivers are provided for Linux systems. The driver establishes a transparent connection to the attached s eria l device by mapping a local serial port to the device port’s IP:Port. Real COM mode supports up to four simultaneous connections, so multiple the attached device at the same time.

ATTENTION

Real COM drivers are installed automatica lly with NPort Administrator.

Overview

The NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL connects RS-232/422/485 devices to an Ethernet network. In a typical application, a traditional SCADA and data collection sy s te m relies on serial de vices to collect data from various kinds of instruments. With the NPort device server, the SCADA and data collection system can access instrument data over a standard TCP/IP network, whether the devices ar e used locall y or at a remo te site.

Each device port on the NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL is configured inde pe nd e ntly of the other device ports, with its own serial communication parameters and operation mode. A device port’s operation mode determines how it interacts with the network, and different modes are available to encompass a wide variety of applications and devices.

Real COM and RFC2217 modes allow serial-based software to access the device port as if it were a local serial port on a PC. These modes are appropriate when your application relies on Windows or Linux software that was originally designed for locally attached COM or TTY devices. With these modes, you can access your devices from the network using your existing COM/TTY-base d software, without investing in additional software.

Three different socket modes are availabl e for user-developed soc ket program s: TCP Server, TCP Client, and UDP Server/Client. For TCP applica tio ns , the appr opriate mode depends on whether the connection will be hosted or initiated from the device port or from the network . The main diff er e nc e betwe en the TC P and UDP protocols is that TCP guarantees delivery of data by requiring the recipient to send an acknowledgement to the sender. UDP does not require this type of verification, making it possible to offer speedier delivery . UDP a lso allows multicasting of data to groups of IP addresses and would be suitable for streaming media or non-critical messaging applications such as LED message boards.

Pair Connection Slave and Master modes are designed for serial-to-serial communication over Ethernet, in order to overcome traditional limitatio ns w ith s eria l tr a ns mission distance.

Reverse Telnet mode is designed for conne c tio ns to server s that will ho s t term inal s e ssions through the device port. This mode is typically used for console management applications, but can also be used to upgrade legacy servers to network operation.

Real COM Mode

hosts can collect data from

Real COM mode allows you to continue using your serial communicatio ns software to access devices that are now attached to your NPort device server. On the host, the NPort Real COM driver automatically intercepts data sent to the COM port, packs it into a TCP/IP packet, and redirects it to the networ k. At the other end of the connection, the NPort device server accep ts the Ethe r ne t frame, unpack s the TCP/IP packet, and sends the serial data to the appropriate device.

NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL Series Introduction to Ope r ation Modes

5-3

ATTENTION

In Real COM mode, several hosts can have simultaneous access control over the device port. If necessary, you can limit access by using the Accessible IP settings. Please refer to Chapter 4 for additional information about Accessible IP settings.

In TCP Server mode, the device port is assigned an IP:Port address that is unique on your TCP/IP network. It waits for the host computer to establish a connection to the attache d ser ial device. This operation mode also suppor ts up to four simultaneous connections, so multiple ho s ts can colle c t d ata from the attached device at the same time. Data transmission proceeds as follows: A host requests a connecti Once the connection is established, data can be transmitted in both directions device to the host.

In TCP Client mode, the NPort actively establishes a TCP connection to a from the attached serial device. After the data has been transferred, the NPort can automatically d isconnect from the host computer through the Inactivity time setting s . Ple as e refer to Chapter 6 for details on t Data transmission proceeds as follows: The NPort requests a connection from the host. The connection is established and data can be transmitte d in both directions between the host and device .

www.moxa.pro

RFC2217 Mode

RFC-2217 mode is similar to Real COM mode, since it relies on a driver to transparently map the device port to a virtual COM port on a host computer. The RFC2217 standard defines general COM port control options based on the Telnet protocol and supports one connectio n at a time. Third party drivers supporting RFC-2217 are widely available on the Internet and can be used to implement virtual COM mapping.

• You are using Pair Connection modes to connect two serial devices over Ethernet. Adjust Local TCP port and Destination IP Address.

Using Pair Connection Modes

For some applications, you may simply want a serial device to communicate directly to another serial device over the network. You can use a pair of NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL device servers to accomp lish this, w i th Pair Connection Master and Slave modes. Simply set one device port to Pair Connection Master mode and the other device port to Pair Connection Slave mode. It does not matter which device port is master and which is slave.

For the device port in Pair Connection Slave mode, designate a Local TCP port to be used for communication. For the device port in Pair Connection Master mode, enter the s la ve’ s I P addres s and Loca l TCP port as the Destination IP.

Once both device ports have been configured, the attached serial devices will communicate over Ethernet as if they were connected b y a seri al cabl e. The t wo device ser vers can be conn ected by an Eth ernet cable, o r th ey can be connected to the same network.

respond within the specified time, the connection will be closed. A setting of 0 means that the connection will remain open even if the host never responds.

Range: 0 to 65535 ms Default: 0 Description: This specifies the time limit for keeping the connection open if no data flows to or from the serial device. If there is no activity for the specified time, the connection will be clos e d . A setting of 0 means that the connection will remain open even if data is never received.

For many applications, the serial device may be idle for long per iod s of time, so 0 is an appropriate setting. If you wish to use Inactivity time with TCP Client mode, you must set Connection Contro l is to Any Character/Inactivity Time (see Connec tion Control).

When adjusting Inactivity time, make s ure that it is gre a ter than the Force transmit time. Otherwise, the TCP connection may be closed before data in the buffer can be transmitted.

Data Packing Parameters

Packing length

Range: 0 to 1024 Default: 0 Description: This controls data packing by the amount of data receiv ed . Serial data accumulates in the device por t’ s buffer until it r eache s the specified length. When the specified amount of data has accumulated in the buffer, the data is packed for network transmiss ion. A setting of 0 means that data will not be packed until the buffer is full. 0 is the recommended setting, unless your application has a specific need to limit packet sizes or improve response times.

UDP Mode

Delimiter 1 and 2

Range: 0 to FF, Enable Default: Disabled Description: This controls data packing by special delimiter character(s).

Serial data accumulates in the device port’s buffer until the delimiter character(s) are received, after which the data is pack ed for ne two rk transmission. If only one delimiter character is needed, be sure to enable Delimiter 1 only. If both Delimiter 1 and 2 are enabled, both characters must be received in sequence for data packing to occur. For example, the carriage return character could be used as a delimiter in order to transmit each sentence or paragraph in a separate packet. Data is packed according to the Delimiter process parameter.

Delimiters must be incorporated into the d ata stream at the software or device level.

Delimiter process

Range: Do Nothing, Delimiter + 1, Delimiter + 2, Strip Delimiter Default: Do Nothing Description: This controls how data is pa cked when de limite r characters are received. Note that this field has no effec t if delimite rs are not enabled (see Delimiters 1 and 2).

”Do nothing” will pack the accumulated data includ ing delimiters. ”Delimiter + 1” will wait for an additional charac te r befo re pac k ing the

accumulated data. ”Delimiter + 2” will wait for two additional characters before packing the

accumulated data. ”Strip Delimiter” will pack the accumulated data but will not include the

delimiter characters in the packet.

UDP Mode

Force transmit

Range: 0 to 65535 ms Default: 0 ms Description: This controls data packing by the amount of time that elapses between bits of data. As serial data is received, it accumulates in the device port’s buffer. If serial data is no t receive d for the specified amount of time, the data that is currently in the buffer is packed for network transmission. A setting of 0 means that data in the buffer will not be automatically packed when no further data is rece ived from the device. When using this field, make sure that Inactivity time is disabled or set to a larger value. Otherwise the connection may be closed before the data in the buffer can be transmitted.

Tx Mode

Hi-Performance is the default for Tx mode. After the driver sends d ata to the NPort, the dri v er imm ediate ly issues a “Tx Empty” response to the program. Under Classical mode, the dr iver w ill no t send the “Tx Emp ty” response until after confirmation is received from the NPort. This causes lower throughput. Classical mode is recommended if you want to ensure that all data is sent out before f ur ther proc ess ing.

FIFO

When “FIFO” is disabled, the selected device port will send one by an Rx interrupt will be generated for each incoming byte . This w ill c aus e a faste r response time but lower throughput.

Network Timeout

“Network Timeout” specifies how long the driver will wait for the attached serial device to respond to an open, close or serial parameter change operation. If a response is received by the specified time, the operation will time out. The default value is 5000 milliseconds .

Fast Flush

“Fast Flush” is designed to improve response times for applications that use the Win32 PurgeComm() function. When Fast Flush is enabled, the Real COM driver only flushes the local buffer on the host when it receives the PurgeComm() function call. When disabled, applications that use PurgeComm() may perform markedly slower, because the Real COM driver will need to also flush the remote buffer, which requires repeated queries of the NPort to make sure no data is queued in the remote buffer. The repeated queries can cause a performance hit due to the additional time spent communicating over the network, typically about several hundred milliseconds when compared to COM ports. If your application uses PurgeComm() and performance seems sluggish, try enabling Fast Flush.

In the Serial Parameters tab, the COM port’s serial communication par am e ters ar e def ined.

Saving COM Mapping Settings

After mapping COM ports to NPort device ports, you will need to save the COM mapping setting s to the Real COM driver. Use the Apply Ch ange command in the function context menu to save the mapping settings; use the Discard Change command to delete the changes. Once COM mapping has been applied, the Real CO M driver will transparently connect the designated COM port to the device port. NPort Administrator is not needed for Real COM operation. COM mapping will b e effecti v e whe ther or not NPort Administrator is open.

You can also save COM mapping settings to a text file, which can then be used to duplicate the COM mapping on another host. Use the Export COM Mapping command in the functio n conte xt menu to save the current COM mapping settings. Use the Import COM Mappi ng command to load COM mapping settings from a previously saved file.

www.ipc2u.ru

www.moxa.pro

Overview

NPort CE Driver Manager is designed for use with NPort 5000 serial ports that are set to Real COM mode. The software manages the installation of drivers that allow you to map unused COM ports on your PC to serial ports on the NPort 5000. These drivers are designed for use with Windows CE 5.0/6.0. When the drivers are installed and configured, devices that are attached to serial por ts on the NPor t 5000 will be tre ate d as if they were attached to your PC’s own COM ports.

Installing NPo rt CE Driver Manager

Copy “NPortCab.cab” to Windows CE and start to install driver by double clicking on it. Click on “OK” to complete the installation when the following screen appears.

Driver installation is now complete and the “NPortCab.cab” icon disappear from the screen. This is normal when installing drivers in Windows CE.

Using NPort CE Driver Manager

After you install NPort CE Driver Manager, you can set up the NPort’s serial ports as remote COM ports for your Windows CE. Make sure that the serial port(s) on your NPort are set to Real COM mode when mapp ing COM ports with NPort CE Driver Manager.

Go to Start  Programs  NPort CE Driver Manager.

Click on the COM Mapping page and then the “Search” button to scan for NPort servers.

All NPort servers that were located will app e ar in the NPort CE Driver Manager window. Click on the server whose COM ports you would like to map to and then select the port index. Note that multiple sele c tions are allowed.

Select the port(s) at the Port Index and then click on the “Add” button to map to the COM Por t(s ).

Return to the COM Setting page. You should be able to see the newly mapped COM Por t(s).

www.moxa.pro

To configure the settings for a particular COM Port, sele c t the row of the desired port, and then modify the setting in the “Settings” panel, as shown below .

Tx Mode

“Hi-Performance” is the default for Tx mode. After the driv er se nds data to the NPor t server, the driver immediately issues a “Tx Empty” response to the program. Under “Classical mode,” the driver will not send the “Tx Empty” response until after confirmation is received from the NPort server’s serial port. This causes lower throughput. Classical mode is recomm e nded if you want to ensure that all data is sent out before further processing.

FIFO

If FIFO is disabled, the NPort server will transmit one byte each time the Tx FIFO becomes empty, and an Rx interrupt will be generated for each incoming byte. This will result in a faster response and lower throughput.

Linux Real TTY Drivers

Real TTY driver are provided that will map Linux host TTY por ts to NPort device ports. Once the mapping has been set up, Linux users and applications can connect to a device port as if it were a local TTY port. These drivers have been designed and tested for the majority of Linux dis tributions, including Linux kerne l vers ion

2.4.x and 2.6.x. Please check Moxa’s website ( more detail, please refer to README.TXT.

Basic Steps

Follow these instructions to map a TTY port to a device port: Install the NPort device server and set the target devic e port to Rea l COM mode. Install the Real TTY driver files on the Linux host. Map the host’s TTY port to the target device port on the NPort.

Installing Linux Real TTY Driver Files

Before proceeding with the software installati o n, ma k e sur e you have comple te d the N Port dev ic e serv er has been installed and configured corr e c tly . Note that the default IP address for the NPort is 192.168.127.254.

http://www.moxa.com) for the latest Linux kernel support. For

1. Obtain the drive r f ile from the Document and Software CD, or from the Moxa website at

http://www.moxa.com.

2. Log in to the console as a super user (root).

Execute cd / to go to the root directory. Copy the driver file npreal2xx.tgz to the / directory.

Execute tar xvfz npreal2xx.tgz to extract all files into the syste m . Execute /tmp/moxa/mxinst. For RedHat AS/ES/WS and Fedora Core1, append an extra argume nt as follow s :

# /tmp/moxa/mxinst SP1 The shell script will install the drive r f ile s auto matic a lly.

After installing the driver, you will b e abl e to see severa l files in the /usr/lib/npreal2/driver folder:

> mxaddsvr (Add Server, mapping tty port) > mxdelsvr (Delete Server, un-mapping tty port) > mxloadsvr (Reload Server) > mxmknod (Create device node/tty port) > mxrmnod (Remove device node/tty port) > mxuninst (Remove tty port and driver files)

n order to map TTY ports.

At this point, you may map the TTY port to the NPort serial port.

Mapping TTY Ports

Make sure that you set the operation mode of the desired NPort serial port to Real COM mode. After logging in as a super user, enter the directory /usr/lib/npreal2/driver and then execute mxaddsvr to map the target NPort serial port to the host TTY ports. The syntax of mxaddsvr is as follows :

mxaddsvr [NPort IP Address] [Total Ports] ([Data port] [Cmd port])

NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL Series TTY Drivers for Li nu x a nd UNIX

11-3

www.ipc2u.ru

www.moxa.pro

The mxaddsvr command performs the following actions:

1. Modify npre al2d.cf.

2. Create TTY ports in dir ectory /dev with major and minor number configured in npreal2d.cf.

3. Restart the driver.

Mapping TTY ports automatic all y

To map TTY ports automatically, you may execute mxaddsvr with just the IP address and number of ports, as in the following example:

# cd /usr/lib/npreal2/driver # ./mxaddsvr 192.168.3.4 16

In this example, 16 TTY ports will be added, all with IP 192.168.3.4, with data po r ts from 950 to 965 and command ports from 966 to 981.

Mapping TTY ports manuall y

To map TTY ports manually, you may execute mxaddsvr and manually specify the data and command ports, as in the following example:

# cd /usr/lib/npreal2/driver # ./mxaddsvr 192.168.3.4 16 4001 966

In this example, 16 TTY ports will be added, all with IP 192.168 .3.4, with data ports from 4001 to 4016 and command ports from 966 to 981.

Removing Mapped TTY Port s

After logging in as root, enter the directory /usr/lib/npreal2/driver and then execute mxdelsvr to delete a server. The syntax of mxdelsvr is:

mxdelsvr [IP Address]

Example:

# cd /usr/lib/npreal2/driver # ./mxdelsvr 192.168.3.4

The following actions are performed when executing mxdelsvr:

1. Modify npre al2d.cf.

2. Remove the relevant TT Y ports in directory /dev.

3. Restart the driver.

If the IP address is not provided in the command line, the program will list the installed servers and total ports on the screen. You will need to choose a server from the list for deletion.

Removing Linux Driver Files

A utility is included that will remove all driver files, mapped TTY ports, and unload the driver. Enter the directory /usr/lib/npreal2/driver, then execute mxuninst to uninstall the driver. This program will perform the following actions:

1. Unload the driv er.

2. Delete all files and directories in /usr/lib/npreal2.

3. Delete directory /usr/lib/npreal2.

4. Modify the system initiali zing script file.

UNIX Fixed TTY Drivers

A fixed TTY driver is provided that will map UNIX host TTY ports to NPort device ports. Once the mapping has been set up, UNIX users and applications can connect to a device port as if it were a local TTY port. This driver has been designed and tested for the majority of UNIX systems. Please check Moxa’s website (http://www.moxa.com) for the latest U NI X syste ms support. Fo r mor e detail, p le as e r efer to README.TX T.

Installing the UNIX Driver

1. Log in to UNIX and create a directory for the Moxa TTY. To create a directory named /usr/etc, execute the command: # mkdir –p /usr/etc

2. Copy moxattyd.tar to the directory you created. For the /usr/etc directory, you would execute the following commands:

# cp moxattyd.tar /usr/etc # cd /usr/etc

3. Extract the so urc e file s from the tar file by exec uting the command:

# tar xvf moxattyd.tar

The following files will be extracted :

README.TXT moxattyd.c --- source code moxattyd.cf --- an empty configuration file Makefile --- makefile VERSION.TXT --- fixed tty driver version FAQ.TXT

4. Compile and link. For SCO UNIX:

# make sco

For UnixWare 7:

# make svr5

For UnixWare 2.1.x, SVR4.2:

# make svr42

Configuring the UNIX Driver

Modify the configuration:

The configuration used by moxattyd is defined in the text file moxattyd.cf, which is in the same directory. You may use vi or any text editor to modify the file, as follows:

ttyp1 192.16 8. 1.1 950

You can refer to moxattyd.cf for detailed descriptions of the various configuration parameters. Please note that “Device Name” depends on the OS. See the Device Naming Rule section in README.TXT fo r mor e information.

To start the moxattyd daemon after system bootup, add an entry into /etc/inittab using the TTY name you defined in moxattyd.cf, as in the fol lo wing example:

ts:2:respawn:/usr/etc/moxattyd/moxattyd –t 1

Device naming rule

For UnixWare 7, UnixWare 2.1.x, and SVR4.2, use:

pts/[n]

For all other UNIX operating systems, use:

ttyp[n]

Overview IP Serial Library Function Groups Example Program

NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL Series The IP Serial Library

12-2

www.ipc2u.ru

www.moxa.pro

Overview

What is the IP Serial Library?

The IP Serial Library is a Window s library with frequently used serial command sets and subroutines. It is designed to reduce the complexity and improve the effic ie nc y of serial communication over TCP/IP. For example, Telnet can transfer data but cannot monitor or config ure the serial line’s parameters.

Why use the IP Ser ial Library?

For programmers who are familiar with serial communic ation, 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 communicatio n b e tw een the NPort and the host computer. The IP Serial Library requires one command port to comm unic ate w i th the NPort. Ser i al 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 witho ut any d ecode or encode problems.

How do I install the IP Serial Library?

The IP Serial Library comes with the NPort Administr ati o n Suite. Ple a s e refer to the IP Serial directory for details about the available functions .
