Delimiter 1 Setting Factory Default Necessity Delimiter 2 Setting Factory Default Necessity 00 to FF 0 for None Optional 6 17 NE 4100 Series User s Manual Web Console Configuration The Delimiter fields are used to specify a character or 2 character sequence which will act as a marker to control packing of serial data By default no delimiter characters are defined so the module transmits data as soon as it is received When a delimiter character or characters are defined the module will hold data in its buffer until it receives the delimiter character or 2 character sequence When the delimiter is received the module will pack up the data in its buffer and send it through the Ethernet port Use Delimiter 1 to define the first delimiter character in hex If only one delimiter character will be used Delimiter 2 should be set to 0 If the delimiter will be a two character sequence use Delimiter 2 to define the second character To disable the use of delimiters set both Delimiter 1 and Delimiter 2 to 0 Note that data packing is not only controlled by the delimiter it is also influenced by the module s buffer size and the Force transmit field If the delimiter has not been received by the time the 1K buffer is full the module will pack the data for network transmission and clear the buffer Also if the module will also pack data for network transmission if the next byte of data is not rec
