Allow driver control
Setting Factory Default Necessity
No or Yes No Required
If “max connection” is greater than 1, NPort will ignore driver control commands from all
connected hosts. However, if you set “Allow driver control” to YES, control commands will be
accepted. Note that since NPort 5200 may get configuration changes from multiple hosts, the most
recent command received will take precedence.
Packing length
Setting Factory Default Necessity
0 to 1024 0 Required
Default = 0, The Delimiter Process will be followed, regardless of the length of the data packet. If
the data length (in bytes) matches the configured value, the data will be forced out. The data length
can be configured for 0 to 1024 bytes. Set to 0 if you do not need to limit the length.
Delimiter 1
Setting Factory Default Necessity
00 to FF None Optional
Delimiter 2
Setting Factory Default Necessity
00 to FF None Optional
Once the NPort receives both delimiters through its serial port, it immediately packs all data
currently in its buffer and sends it to the NPort’s Ethernet port.
Delimiter process
Setting Factory Default Necessity
Do nothing, Delimiter + 1, Delimiter +
2, Strip Delimiter
Do Nothing Required
When [Delimiter + 1] or [Delimiter + 2] is selected, the data will be transmitted when an
additional byte (for Delimiter +1), or an additional 2 bytes (for Delimiter +2) of data is received
after receiving the Delimiter. When [Strip Delimiter] is selected, when the Delimiter is received,
the Delimiter is deleted (i.e., stripped), and the remaining data is transmitted. When [Do nothing]
is selected, the data will be transmitted when the Delimiter is received.
ATTENTION
Delimiter 2 is optional. If left blank, then Delimiter 1 alone trips clearing of the buffer. If the size
of the serial data received is greater than 1 KB, the NPort will automatically pack the data and
send it to the Ethernet. However, to use the delimiter function, you must at least enable Delimiter
1. If Delimiter 1 is left blank and Delimiter 2 is enabled, the delimiter function will not work
properly.
