NPort 5400 Series User s Manual Web Console Configuration Force transmit Setting Factory Default 0 Disable the force transmit timeout 1 to 65535 Forces the NPort s TCP IP protocol software to try to pack serial data received during the specified time into the same data frame This parameter defines the interval during which the NPort fetches the serial data from its internal buffer If there is incoming data through the serial port the NPort stores the data in the internal buffer The NPort transmits data stored in the buffer via TCP IP but only if the internal buffer is full or if the force transmit time interval reaches the time specified as Force Transmit timeout Optimal force transmit timeout differs according to your application but it must be at least as large as one character interval within the specified baud rate For example assume that the serial port is set to 1200 bps 8 data bits 1 stop bit and no parity In this case the total number of bits required to send a character is 10 bits and the time required to transfer one character is 10 bits 1200 bits s 1000 ms s 8 3 ms Therefore you should set the Force Transmit timeout to be larger than 8 3 ms Force Transmit timeout is specified in milliseconds and must be larger than 10 ms If the user wants to send a series of characters in a packet the serial device attached to the NPort should send characters without time delay larger than Force Transmit
9. 1 The NPort configured for TCP Client Mode requests a connection from the host 2 Once the connection is established data can be transmitted in both directions from the host to the NPort and from the NPort to the host UDP Mode Compared to TCP communication UDP is faster UDP Mode and more efficient In UDP mode you can Device multicast data from the serial device to multiple host computers and the serial device can also receive data from multiple host computers making this mode ideal for message display applications TCP IP Ethernet Directly proceed with data transmission no connection required Pair Connection Mode Pair Connection Mode employs two NPort 5400 units in tandem and can be used to remove the 15 meter distance limitation imposed by the RS 232 interface One NPort 5400 is connected from its RS 232 port to the COM port of a PC or other type of computer such as a hand held PDA and the serial device is connected to the RS 232 port of the other NPort 5400 The two NPort 5400 units are then connected to each other with a cross over Ethernet cable both are connected to the same LAN or in a more advanced setup they communicate with each other over a WAN _e through one or more routers Pair Connection Mode transparently transfers both data and modem control signals although it cannot transmit the DCD signal between the two NPort device servers 4 4 NPort 5400 Series User s M
