rail or on the wall. Wall Mounting DIN-Rail Mounting Connecting the Hardware ATTENTION Before connecting the hardware, follow these important wiring safety precautions:
Disconnect power source Do not install or wire this unit or any attached devices with the power connected. Disconnect the power before installation by removing the power cord before installing and/or wiring your unit. Follow maximum current ratings Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment. Use caution - unit may get hot The unit will generate heat during operation, and the casing may be too hot to touch. Take care when handling the unit. Be sure to leave adequate space for ventilation. The following guidelines will help ensure trouble-free signal communication with the NPort. Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices to avoid interference. Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. The rule of thumb is that wiring 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 testing and troubleshooting 2-5 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Getting Started Connecting to the Network Use the supplied Ethernet cable to connect the NPort to your Ethernet network. If the cable is properly connected, the NPort will indicate a valid connection to the Ethernet as follows:
A green Ethernet LED indicates a valid connection to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network. An orange Ethernet LED indicates a valid connection to a 10 Mbps Ethernet network. A flashing Ethernet LED indicates that Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received. Connecting the Power Connect the VDC power line (12 to 48 V) to the NPorts power jack or terminal block (recommended for only one connection at a time). If power is properly connected, the Ready LED will initially glow red. When the system is ready, the Ready LED will turn green. Connecting to a Serial Device Use a serial cable to connect your serial device to a serial port on the NPort. 2-6 3 3. Initial IP Configuration The following topics are covered in this chapter:
Overview
Factory Default IP Settings
Using ARP to Assign an IP Address
Using the Telnet Console to an Assign IP Address
Using the Serial Console to an Assign IP Address NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Initial IP Configuration Overview This chapter presents several ways to assign the NPorts IP address for the first time. Please refer to Chapter 2 for instructions on connecting to the network. The web console is the recommended method for configuring the NPort. Please refer to Chapter 5 and 6 for details on using the web console for configuration. ATTENTION The LAN and WLAN interfaces cannot be used at the same time if you don't enable the Ethernet Bridge mode (please refer to Chapter 7 for more details). If the Ethernet link is active, then WLAN connections will be disabled. If the WLAN connection is active, then the Ethernet link will be disabled. ATTENTION Make sure that the Ethernet cable is connected before powering up the NPort. Factory Default IP Settings Network Interface LAN WLAN IP Configuration Static Static IP Address 192.168.126.254 192.168.127.254 Netmask 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0 If your NPort is configured to obtain its IP settings from a DHCP or BOOTP server but is unable to get a response, it will use the factory default IP address and netmask. ATTENTION If you forget the IP address of your NPort, you can look it up using the Device Search Utility (DSU). After the Device Search Utility (DSU) has found all NPorts on the network, each unit will be listed with its IP address. Please refer to Chapter 11 for additional information on using the Device Search Utility (DSU). Using ARP to Assign an IP Address The ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command can be used to assign an IP address to the NPort. The ARP command tells your computer to associate the NPorts MAC address with the specified IP address. You must then use Telnet to access the NPort, at which point the device servers IP address will be reconfigured. This method only works when the NPort is configured with default IP settings. 1. Select a valid IP address for your NPort. Consult with your network administrator if necessary. 2. Obtain the NPorts MAC address from the label on its bottom panel. 3. From the DOS prompt, execute the arp -s command with the desired IP address and the NPorts MAC address, as in the following example:
arp -s 192.168.200.100 00-90-E8-xx-xx-xx In this example, 192.168.200.100 is the new IP address that will be assigned to the NPort, and 00-90-
E8-xx-xx-xx is the NPorts MAC address. 4. From the DOS prompt, execute a special Telnet command using port 6000, as in the following example:
telnet 192.168.200.100 6000 In this example, 192.168.200.100 is the new IP address that will be assigned to the NPort. 3-2 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Initial IP Configuration 5. You will see a message indicating that the connection failed. The NPort will automatically reboot with the new IP address. You can verify that the configuration was successful by connecting to the new IP address with Telnet, ping, the web console, or the Device Search Utility (DSU). Using the Telnet Console to an Assign IP Address 1. Select Run from the Windows Start menu. 2. Enter telnet 192.168.126.254 (the NPorts default IP address) and click [OK]. 3. Enter your login account and password, then press ENTER.
(Default login is admin and password is moxa.) 3-3 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Initial IP Configuration 4. You will login to the Overview page. 5. Press N or use the cursor keys to select Network and press ENTER. 6. Press E or use the cursor keys to select Ethernet and press ENTER. 3-4 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Initial IP Configuration 7. Use the cursor keys to navigate between the different fields. For IP address, Netmask, and Gateway, enter the desired values directly. For IP configuration and LAN speed, press ENTER to open a submenu and select between the available options. 8. Press ESC to return to the menu. When prompted, press Y to save the configuration changes. 3-5 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Initial IP Configuration The NPort will reboot with the new IP settings. You can telnet to the new IP to login again. Using the Serial Console to an Assign IP Address Before using the NPorts serial console, turn off the power and use a serial cable to connect the NPort console port to your computers serial port. Port 1 on the NPort serves as the console port. Use Port 1 connecting to the console port with a serial-based terminal or terminal emulator program, such as Windows HyperTerminal. You may also download PComm Lite at www.moxa.com. The terminal type should be set as ANSI or VT100, and the serial communication parameters should be set as 19200, 8, N, 1 (19200 for baud rate, 8 for data bits, None for parity, and 1 for stop bits). As soon as the connection is open, you will be presented with a text menu displaying the NPort W2150A/W2250A Series general settings. Please refer to Chapter 4 for a description of the available settings. The following instructions, we recommend using PComm Terminal Emulator, which can be downloaded free of charge from www.moxa.com, to carry out the configuration procedure. 1. Connect your PCs serial port to the NPorts console port. 2. Open your terminal emulator program, such as Windows HyperTerminal. We recommend using PComm 3. Terminal Emulator, which can be downloaded for free at www.moxa.com. In your terminal emulator program, configure the communication parameters for the serial port on the PC. The parameters should be set to 19200 for baud rate, 8 for data bits, None for parity, and 1 for stop bits. 3-6 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Initial IP Configuration 4. In your terminal emulator program, set the terminal type to ANSI or VT100. If you select Dumb Terminal as the terminal type, some of the console functionsespecially the Monitor functionmay not work properly. 5. Hold the grave accent key (`) down and power up the NPort. The continuous string of grave accent characters triggers the NPort to switch from data mode to console mode. 3-7 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Initial IP Configuration 6. The serial console will open and will be functionally identical to the Telnet console. Please refer to the Telnet console section for instructions on how to navigate the console and configure the IP settings. 3-8 4 4. Introduction to Operation Modes 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
Ethernet Modem Mode NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Introduction to Operation Modes Overview This chapter introduces the different serial port operation modes that are available on the NPort W2150A/W2250A Series. Each serial port on the NPort is configured independently of the other ports, with its own serial communication parameters and operation mode. The serial ports 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 NPort serial 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-based software, without investing in additional software. Three different socket modes are available for user-developed socket programs: TCP Server, TCP Client, and UDP Server/Client. For TCP applications, the appropriate mode depends on whether the connection will be hosted or initiated from the NPort serial port or from the network. The main difference between the TCP 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 also allows multicasting of data to groups of IP addresses and would be suitable for streaming media or noncritical 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 limitations with serial transmission distance. In Ethernet Modem mode, the NPort acts as an Ethernet modem, providing a network connection to a host through the serial port. Real COM 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 and UNIX systems. The driver establishes a transparent connection to the attached serial device by mapping a local serial port to the NPort serial port. Real COM mode supports up to four simultaneous connections, so multiple hosts can collect data from the attached device at the same time. ATTENTION Real COM drivers are installed and configured through NPort Windows Driver Manager. Real COM mode allows you to continue using your serial communications 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 network. At the other end of the connection, the NPort device server accepts the Ethernet frame, unpacks the TCP/IP packet, and sends the serial data to the appropriate device. 4-2 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Introduction to Operation Modes ATTENTION In Real COM mode, several hosts can have simultaneous access control over the NPort serial port. If necessary, you can limit access by using the NPorts Accessible IP settings. Please refer to Chapter 8 for additional information on Accessible IP settings. RFC2217 Mode RFC-2217 mode is similar to Real COM mode, since it relies on a driver to transparently map a virtual COM port on a host computer to a serial port on the NPort. The RFC2217 standard defines general COM port control options based on the Telnet protocol and supports one connection at a time. Third party drivers supporting RFC-2217 are widely available on the Internet and can be used to implement virtual COM mapping. TCP Server Mode In TCP Server mode, the NPort serial 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 attached serial device. This operation mode also supports up to eight simultaneous connections, so multiple hosts can collect data from the attached device at the same time. Data transmission proceeds as follows:
A host requests a connection to the NPort serial port. Once the connection is established, data can be transmitted in both directionsfrom the host to the device, and from the device to the host. TCP Client Mode In TCP Client mode, the NPort actively establishes a TCP connection to a specific network host when data is received from the attached serial device. After the data has been transferred, the NPort can automatically disconnect from the host computer through the Inactivity time settings. Please refer to Chapter 7 for details on these parameters. Data transmission proceeds as follows:
The NPort requests a connection from the host. The connection is established and data can be transmitted in both directions between the host and device. 4-3 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Introduction to Operation Modes UDP Mode UDP is similar to TCP but is faster and more efficient. Data can be broadcast to or received from multiple network hosts. However, UDP does not support verification of data and would not be suitable for applications where data integrity is critical. It is ideal for message display applications. Pair Connection Modes Pair Connection Master and Slave modes connect two NPort device servers over a network for serial-to-
serial communication. A device attached to one NPort can then communicate transparently to a device attached to the other NPort, as if the two devices were connected by a serial cable. Both data and modem control signals are exchanged, except for DCD signals. This can be used to overcome traditional limitations with serial communication distance and introduces many new possibilities for serial-based device control. Ethernet Modem Mode Ethernet Modem mode is designed for use with legacy operating systems, such as MS-DOS, that do not support TCP/IP Ethernet. By connecting the properly configured NPort serial port to the MS-DOS computers serial port, it is possible to use legacy software to transmit data over the Ethernet when the software was originally designed to transmit data over a modem. 4-4 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Introduction to Operation Modes 4-5 5 5.

When the files have been installed, click Finish to complete the installation. Adding Mapped Serial Ports NPort Windows Driver Manager adds a COM port to your PC that is mapped to an NPort serial port. The destination NPort serial port must be set to Real COM mode. 1. In NPort Windows Driver Manager, click Add on the main toolbar. 5-10 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Installing and Configuring the Software 2. Click Search to search the network for NPort device servers. In the list of NPort device servers that were found, select the unit(s) that you will use for COM mapping and click OK. Alternatively, you can select Input Manually and manually enter the NPort IP Address, 1st Data Port, 1st Command Port, and Total Ports for the desired NPort unit. Click OK to proceed. 5-11 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Installing and Configuring the Software 3. NPort Windows Driver Manager will list each available serial port and will automatically assign a new COM port to each one. The new COM port will not be accessible by the host system until it has been activated in NPort Windows Driver Manager. Activating a mapped COM port saves the information in the host system registry and makes the COM port available for use. Click Yes to activate the COM port(s) at this time; click No to activate the COM port(s) later. 4. Activated COM ports will be listed in black; COM ports that have not been activated will be listed in blue. Once a COM port has been activated, the host computer will be able to communicate with the new COM port as if it were physically attached. Since the COM mappings are stored in the host system registry, they will still be in effect if the PC is restarted or if Windows Driver Manager is closed. 5-12 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Installing and Configuring the Software Configuring Mapped Serial Ports 1. To modify the settings of a mapped serial port, select the desired port(s) and click Setting on the main toolbar. 2. On the Basic Setting tab, select the COM Number that will be assigned to the serial port. If you have selected multiple ports, you can assign COM numbers automatically in sequential order by selecting the Auto Enumerating COM Number for Selected Ports function. 5-13 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Installing and Configuring the Software 3. On the Advanced Setting tab, configure Tx Mode, FIFO, and Fast Flush. Tx Mode: In Hi-Performance mode, the driver immediately issues a Tx Empty response to the program after sending data to the NPort. In Classical mode, the driver sends the Tx Empty response after confirmation is received from the NPort. Classical mode is recommended if you want to ensure that all data is sent out before further processing. FIFO: This tells the driver whether or not to use the FIFO. Network Timeout: You can use this option to prevent blocking if the target NPort is unavailable. Fast Flush: When enabled, the driver flushes only the local buffer on the host for a Win32 PurgeComm() function call. When disabled, both the local and remote buffers are flushed. If your application uses PurgeComm() and performance seems sluggish, try enabling Fast Flush. Auto Network Re-Connection: With this option enabled, the driver will repeatedly attempt to re-
establish the TCP connection if the NPort does not respond to background check-alive packets Always Accept Open Requests: When enabled, the NPort driver will always accept requests to open a virtual COM port, even if communications with the device can not be established. With this option, the NPort driver will agree to open a virtual COM port on the system even if the port is blocked or the Ethernet connection is disabled. If this is the case, the connected device will not receive and transmit data even though the system has opened a virtual COM port. 5-14 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Installing and Configuring the Software Drop Writing Data if Network Connection is Lost: This function will assure the data to be kept in the buffer or dropped when network connection is lost. The buffer size is 4 KBytes. Return error if network is unavailable: If this option is disabled, the driver will not return any error even when a connection cannot be established to the NPort. With this option enabled, calling the Win32 Comm function will result in the error return code STATUS_NETWORK_UNREACHABLE when a connection cannot be established to the NPort. This usually means that your hosts network connection is down, perhaps due to a cable being disconnected. However, if you can reach other network devices, it may be that the NPort is not powered on or is disconnected. Not that Auto Network Re-Connection must be enabled in order to use this function. Ignore TX Purge Applications can use the Win32 API PurgeComm to clear the output buffer. Outstanding overlapping write operations will be terminated. Select the Ignore TX Purge checkbox to ignore the effect on output data. 4. On the Serial Parameters tab, specify the communication settings that the host will use when opening the COM port. 5-15 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Installing and Configuring the Software 5. On the Security tab, select the Enable Data Encryption option to enable data to be encrypted when transmitted over the COM ports. After selecting the encryption option, select the Keep connection option to start encrypting COM port communications immediately without restarting the COM ports. This may speed up opening and closing of the COM port for your host, but it also causes your host to tie up the NPort serial port so other hosts cannot use it. 6. On the IPv6 Setting tab, interface 1 and 2 are able to change. 7. Click OK when you have finished configuring the COM port 5-16 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Installing and Configuring the Software 8. To save all COM mapping settings to a text file, right-click a COM port and select Export in the context menu. After the settings have been exported to a file, they can be imported on another host.

Linux Real TTY Drivers Real TTY driver are provided that will map Linux host TTY ports to NPort serial ports. Once the mapping has been set up, Linux users and applications can connect to a serial port as if it were a local TTY port. These drivers have been designed and tested for the majority of Linux distributions, including Linux kernel version 2.4.x, 2.6.x, and 3.x, 4.x. Please check http://www.moxa.com for the latest Linux kernel supported. Basic Steps Follow these instructions to map a TTY port to an NPort serial port:
1. 2. 3. Map the hosts TTY port to the target device port on the NPort. Install the NPort device server and set the target device port to Real COM mode. Install the Real TTY driver files on the Linux host. Installing Linux Real TTY Driver Files Before proceeding with the software installation, make sure you have completed the NPort device server has been installed and configured correctly. Note that the default LAN IP address for the NPort is 192.168.126.254, whereas the default WLAN IP address is 192.168.127.254. ATTENTION The target serial port must be operating in Real COM mode in order to map TTY ports. 1. Obtain the driver file from https://www.moxa.com/support/support_home.aspx?isSearchShow=1. 2. Log in to the console as a super user (root). 3. Execute cd / to go to the root directory. 5-19 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Installing and Configuring the Software 4. Copy the driver file npreal2xx.tgz to the / directory. 5. Execute tar xvfz npreal2xx.tgz to extract all files into the system. 6. Execute /tmp/moxa/mxinst. (For Red Hat AS/ES/WS and Fedora Core1, execute
# /tmp/moxa/mxinst SP1.) The shell script will install the driver files automatically. 7. After installing the driver, you will be able to see several files in the /usr/lib/npreal2/driver folder:
mxaddsvr (add server, map TTY port) mxdelsvr (delete server, undo TTY port mapping) mxloadsvr (reload server) mxmknod (create device node/TTY port) mxrmnod (remove device node/TTY port) mxuninst (remove TTYport and driver files) 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]) The mxaddsvr command performs the following actions:
1. Modify npreal2d.cf. 2. Create TTY ports in directory /dev with major and minor number configured in npreal2d.cf. 3. Restart the driver. Mapping TTY ports automatically 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 ports from 950 to 965 and command ports from 966 to 981. Mapping TTY ports manually 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 Ports 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:
5-20 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Installing and Configuring the Software 1. Modify npreal2d.cf. 2. Remove the relevant TTY 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 and execute mxuninst to uninstall the driver. This program will perform the following actions:
1. Unload the driver. 2. Delete all files and directories in /usr/lib/npreal2. 3. Delete directory /usr/lib/npreal2. 4. Modify the system initializing script file. UNIX Fixed TTY Drivers A fixed TTY driver is provided that will map UNIX host TTY ports to NPort serial ports. Once the mapping has been set up, UNIX users and applications can connect to an NPort serial port as if it were a local TTY port. This driver has been designed and tested for the majority of UNIX systems. Please check http://www.moxa.com for the latest UNIX systems support. 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 source files from the tar file by executing 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 5-21 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Installing and Configuring the Software 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 192.168.1.1 950 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 for more 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 following 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]
The value of [n] should be equal or larger than 11 in order to prevent conflicts with the device names of functional keys in some UNIX systems. Starting moxattyd Execute the command init q or reboot your UNIX operating system. Adding an additional server Modify the text file moxattyd.cf to add an additional server. Users may use vi or any text editor to modify the file. For more configuration information, refer to moxattyd.cf, which contains detailed descriptions of the various configuration parameters. Find the process ID (PID) of the moxattyd.
# ps -ef | grep moxattyd Update the configuration of moxattyd.
# kill -USR1 [PID]
(e.g., if moxattyd PID = 404, kill -USR1 404) This completes the process of adding an additional server. 5-22 6 6. Web Console: Basic Settings The following topics are covered in this chapter:

With the DNS server configured, the NPort device server can use domain names instead of IP addresses to access hosts. Domain Name System (DNS) is how 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 easier 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 users computer sends the domain name (e.g., www.moxa.com) to a DNS server to request that websites numeric IP address. When the IP address is received from the DNS server, the users computer uses that information to connect to the websites 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. 7-2 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Ethernet/Bridge Settings To enable the Ethernet-to-Wireless function, also called Wireless Client, go to the Ethernet/Bridge Settings page and enable Ethernet Bridge. When it's enabled, the LAN and WLAN will use the same IP configuration (use the same IP address, netmask and gateway settings). ATTENTION In dynamic IP environments, the NPort will send three requests every 30 seconds to the DHCP or BOOTP server until the network settings have successfully been assigned. The first request will time out after one second; the second request will time out after three seconds, and the third request will timeout after five second. If the DHCP or BOOTP server is unavailable, the NPort will use the factory default network settings. 7-3 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Ethernet Bridge Default Options Description Disabled Enabled, Disabled This field specifies whether to enable Ethernet Bridge mode or not. When Ethernet Bridge is enabled, the LAN and WLAN interfaces are bridged together. Data can be seamlessly transferred between serial lines, LAN, and WLAN. The LAN and WLAN will use the LAN IP setting, and WLAN IP setting will be disabled. Disabled: When disabled, you can use either the LAN or WLAN. Enabled: When enabled, you can use both the LAN and the WLAN. IP Configuration Default Static Options Static, DHCP, DHCP/BOOTP, BOOTP Description This field determines how the NPorts IP address will be assigned. Static: IP address, netmask, and gateway are user-defined. IP Address Default Options Description DHCP: IP address, netmask, gateway, DNS, and time server are assigned by the DHCP server. DHCP/BOOTP: IP address, netmask, gateway, DNS, and time server are assigned by the DHCP server. IP address is assigned by BOOTP server if DHCP server does not respond. BOOTP: IP address is assigned by the BOOTP server. 192.168.126.254 IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1) This field is for the IP address that will be assigned to your NPort device server. 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 server will be assigned a dynamic IP address, set the IP configuration parameter appropriately. 7-4 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Netmask Default Options Description Gateway Default Options Description 255.255.255.0 Netmask setting (e.g., 255.255.0.0) 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 (LAN). When a packet is sent out over the network, the NPort device server will use the subnet mask to check whether the desired TCP/IP host specified in the packet is on the local network segment. If the address is on the same network segment as the device server, a connection is established directly from the device server. Otherwise, the connection is established through the gateway as specified in the Gateway parameter. IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1) 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 address of the default gateway computer in order to communicate with the hosts outside the local network environment. Consult your network administrator if you do not know how to set this parameter. 7-5 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings WLAN Settings WLAN The WLAN page is located under WLAN Settings in the Network Settings folder. You can modify IP configuration, IP address, Netmask, and Gateway for your WLAN. The NPort W2150A/W2250A Series supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n wireless network interfaces. The supported IP configurations are static and dynamic (BOOTP, DHCP, or BOOTP+DHCP). Users can set up the IP configuration with the serial console, or the Web/Telnet consoles through the NPorts Ethernet interface. For detailed information about configuring IP configuration, IP address, Netmask, and Gateway, see the previous section, Ethernet Configuration. IP Configuration Default Static Options Static, DHCP, DHCP/BOOTP, BOOTP Description This field determines how the NPorts IP address will be assigned. Static: IP address, netmask, and gateway are user-defined. DHCP: IP address, netmask, gateway, DNS, and time server are assigned by the DHCP server. DHCP/BOOTP: IP address, netmask, gateway, DNS, and time server are assigned by the DHCP server. An IP address is assigned by the BOOTP server if the DHCP server does not respond. BOOTP: An IP address is assigned by the BOOTP server. IP Address Default Options 192.168.127.254 IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1) 7-6 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Description Netmask Default Options Description Gateway Default Options Description This field is for the IP address that will be assigned to your NPort device server. 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 WLAN environment. If your device server will be assigned a dynamic IP address, set the IP configuration parameter appropriately. 255.255.255.0 Netmask setting (e.g., 255.255.0.0) 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 LAN. When a packet is sent out over the network, the NPort device server will use the subnet mask to check whether the desired TCP/IP host specified in the packet is on the local network segment. If the address is on the same network segment as the device server, a connection is established directly from the device server. Otherwise, the connection is established through the gateway as specified in the Gateway parameter. IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1) 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 address of the default gateway computer in order to communicate with the hosts outside the local network environment. Consult your network administrator if you do not know how to set this parameter. 7-7 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Profile The Profile page is located under WLAN Settings in the Network Settings folder. This is where you configure the NPort for Infrastructure operation. Different settings are available depending on whether you select Ad-hoc Mode or Infrastructure Mode. 7-8 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Network Type Default Options Description Infrastructure Mode Infrastructure Mode, Ad-hoc Mode This field specifies whether the NPort will operate in Ad-hoc or Infrastructure Mode. For all wireless networking devices, there are two possible modes for communication with another wireless device. Devices that are configured for Ad-hoc Mode automatically detect and communicate directly with each other and do not require a wireless access point (AP) or gateway. Wireless devices that are configured for Infrastructure Mode do not communicate directly with each other, but through a wireless access point (AP). Devices must be configured for the same mode in order to communicate with each other. Devices in Ad-Hoc Mode will only recognize other devices in Ad-Hoc Mode, and likewise for devices in Infrastructure Mode. Example of Ad-Hoc Mode Example of Infrastructure Mode After setting the Network type, you will need to adjust the General and Security settings to establish the wireless connection. 7-9 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings General Settings for WLAN Profile The General page is opened through the Profile page, under WLAN Settings in the Network Settings folder. You can type a profile name to help you differentiate one profile from another. It does not affect operation of the NPort. After selecting Ad-hoc or Infrastructure Mode, click [General] to open the General page for the selected profile. In Ad-hoc Mode and Infrastructure Mode, only one profile is available. In Ad-hoc Mode 7-10 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings In Infrastructure Mode On the General page, you can configure Profile name, RF type, and input an SSID provided by your Wi-Fi AP. Additional settings are also available depending on whether you select Ad-hoc Mode or Infrastructure Mode. Profile Name Default Ad-hoc (in Ad-hoc Mode) Infrastructure (in Infrastructure Mode) free text (e.g., Primary Connection) This is a free text field to help you differentiate one profile from another. It does not affect operation of the NPort. Options Description 7-11 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings RF Type Default Options Description 802.11b/g for Ad-Hoc Mode. Auto for Infrastructure Mode. Auto, 802.11a, 802.11b/g, 802.11a/n, 802.11b/g/n This field determines which wireless standard will be used by the selected profile. 802.11a, 802.11b/g, 802.11a/n and 802.11b/g/n are supported. Auto: In Ad-hoc Mode, the NPort will scan the 2.4G wireless band and will automatically select the appropriate wireless standard for communication with any other wireless devices that are detected. In Infrastructure Mode, the NPort will automatically select between 802.11a, 802.11b/g, 802.11a/n and 802.11b/g/n according to the settings of the AP. 802.11a: The Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) 5 GHz band is used for communication, which is different from the RF band used by 802.11b and 802.11g. Consequently, 802.11a devices will not be able to communicate with 802.11b or 802.11g devices. (Multi-mode 802.11a/b/g APs or client adapters can be used to resolve this.) Transmission rates up to 54Mbps are supported. 802.11b/g: This option means our device will support for 802.11b or 802.11g. 802.11b: This is the well-known Wi-Fi standard, also referred to as 802.11 High-Rate
(HR). Wireless communication is in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, using the DSSS spread spectrum transmission scheme. 802.11b supports data rates of 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, and 11 Mbps. 802.11a/n: This option means our device will support up to 150 Mbps data rate to communicate with an 802.11a/n AP. 802.11b/g/n: This option means our device will support up to 72.2 Mbps data rate to communicate to a 802.11b/g/n AP. SSID Default Options Description profile1 free text (e.g., Coffeeshop WLAN) This field specifies the SSID, or name, of the wireless network (SSID) that will be used by the NPort. Wireless devices must use the same SSID in order to communicate with each other. Site Survey (This function is supported by firmware V1.10 or above) When you click Site Survey, the device server will scan for all the APs it can find nearby. It shows all the signal strengths between the device server and the APs. You may check the checkbox and click OK to create a profile for the specified AP. 7-12 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Channel (Ad-hoc mode only) Default Options Description 1 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 This field is for Ad-Hoc Mode only and specifies the radio channel to use for the wireless network. Fast Roaming (Infrastructure mode only) Default Options Description Disable Disable, Enable This field is only available in Infrastructure Mode and is used to specify the W2150A/W2250A roaming behavior. Roaming is the ability to connect to different APs so that wireless communication is not confined to one area or one particular AP. The W2150A/W2250A will only roam between APs, as specified by the SSID. Disable: Fast Roaming function will be disabled. W2150A/W2250A will scan all available channels and roam between APs as specified by the SSID. It scans the channel when booting up and will associate with the highest signal strength AP. Only when the associated AP is lost, it will re-associate again. Enable: Fast Roaming function will be enabled. NPort W2150A/W2250A will only scan the pre-defined Scan Channels - 1, Scan Channels - 2 & Scan Channels 3 and roam between APs as specified by the SSID. It scans the channel and will associate with the highest signal strength AP. It also scans the channel regularly and will re-associate with the highest signal strength AP (if there is) automatically. Scan channels 1, Scan channels 2, Scan channels 3 (Infrastructure mode only) Default Options N/A 1 through 14, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, 136, 140, 149, 153, 157, 165 This field is for fast roaming under Infrastructure Mode and specifies the radio channel to use for the wireless network. Choose the channel according to the factory setting of the AP. Description Roaming threshold (This function is supported by firmware V1.10 or above) Default
-70 (Disable) 7-13 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Options Description numbers When the signal strength between the device and the AP is worse than this number, below
-70 dBm as the default number, the device server will start to scan for a new AP to establish the connection. Roaming difference (This function is supported by firmware V1.10 or above) Default Options Description 2 (Disable) numbers When the device server finds a new AP, the signal strength between device server and the new AP must above this number compares to the old AP, then the device server will change to establish a new connection with the new AP. For example, when the signal strength to the old AP is -70 dBm. When the new AP is -69 dBm, the device server will keep the connection to the old one. If the new AP is -68 dBm, the device server will switch the connection to the new AP. 7-14 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Security Settings for WLAN Profile The Security page is opened through the Profile page, under WLAN Settings in the Network Settings folder. After selecting Ad-hoc or Infrastructure Mode, click [Security] to open the Security page for the selected profile. In Ad-hoc Mode, only one profile is available, whereas three profiles are available in Infrastructure Mode. In Ad-hoc Mode 7-15 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings In Infrastructure Mode You will need to configure Authentication and Encryption. These settings must match the settings on the wireless device at the other end of the connection (such as the AP). Different settings and options are available depending on how Authentication and Encryption are configured. 7-16 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Authentication Default Options Description Open System Open System, Shared Key, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK This field specifies how wireless devices will be authenticated. Only authenticated devices will be allowed to communicate with the NPort. If a RADIUS server is used, this setting must match the setting on the RADIUS server. Open System: The NPort will simply announce a desire to associate with another station or access point. No authentication is required. For Ad-hoc Mode, this is the only option for authentication, since Ad-hoc Mode was designed for open communication. Shared Key: This option is only available in Infrastructure Mode. Authentication involves a more rigorous exchange of frames to ensure that the requesting station is authentic. WEP encryption is required. WPA: This is a managed authentication option that is only available in Infrastructure Mode. WPA was created by the Wi-Fi Alliance, the industry trade group that owns the Wi-Fi trademark and certifies devices with the Wi-Fi name. It is based on Draft 3 of the IEEE 802.11i standard. Each user uses a unique key for authentication, distributed from an IEEE 802.1X authentication server, also known as a RADIUS server. This option is also referred to as WPA Enterprise Mode, since it is intended to meet rigorous enterprise security requirements. Tunneled authentication is supported, depending on the EAP method selected. WPA-PSK: This is an unmanaged authentication option that is only available in Infrastructure Mode. Instead of a unique key for each user, a pre-shared key (PSK) is manually entered on the access point to generate an encryption key that is shared among all users. Consequently, this method does not scale well for enterprise. A PSK that uses a mix of letters, numbers and non-alphanumeric characters is recommended. This option is also referred to as WPA Personal Mode, since it is designed for the needs and capabilities of small home and office WLANs. WPA2: This is a managed authentication option that is only available in Infrastructure Mode. WPA2 implements the mandatory elements of 802.11i. Supported encryption algorithms include TKIP, Michael, and AES-based CCMP, which is considered fully secure. Since March 13, 2006, WPA2 has been mandatory for all Wi-Fi-certified devices. This option may also be referred to as WPA Enterprise Mode. Tunneled authentication is supported, depending on the EAP method selected. WPA2-PSK: This is an unmanaged authentication option that is only available in Infrastructure Mode. It employs WP2 encryption algorithms but relies on a PSK for authentication. A PSK that uses a mix of letters, numbers and non-alphanumeric characters is recommended. This option can also be referred to as WPA Personal Mode. 7-17 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Encryption Default Options Description Disable Disable, WEP, TKIP, AES-CCMP This field specifies the type of encryption to use during wireless communication. Different encryption methods are available depending on the Authentication setting. Also, each encryption method has its own set of parameters that may also require configuration. Disable: No encryption is applied to the data during wireless communication. This option is only available if Authentication is set to Open System. WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is only available for Open System and Shared Key authentication methods. Data is encrypted according to a key. The NPort supports both 64 and 128-bit keys. This method may deter casual snooping but is not considered very secure. TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is only available for WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK authentication methods. TKIP is part of a draft standard from the IEEE 802.11i working group and utilizes the RC4 stream cipher with 128-bit keys for encryption and 64-bit keys for authentication. TKIP improves on WEP by adding a per-packet key mixing function to de-correlate the public initialization vectors (IVs) from weak keys. AES-CCMP: This is a powerful encryption method that is only available for WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK authentication methods. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the block cipher system used by the Robust Secure Network (RSN) protocol and is equivalent to the RC4 algorithm used by WPA. CCMP is the security protocol used by AES, equivalent to TKIP for WPA. Data undergoes a Message Integrity Check (MIC) using a well-known and proven technique called Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code (CBC-MAC). The technique ensures that even a one-bit alteration in a message produces a dramatically different result. Master keys are not used directly but are used to derive other keys, each of which expire after a certain amount of time. Messages are encrypted using a secret 128-bit key and a 128-bit block of data. The encryption process is complex, but the administrator does not need to be aware of the intricacies of the computations. The end result is encryption that is much harder to break than even WPA. PSK Passphrase Default Options Description free text (e.g., This is the WLAN passphrase) This field is only available for WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication methods. If the NPorts passphrase does not match the APs passphrase, the connection will be denied. A PSK of sufficient strengthone that uses a mix of letters, numbers and non-alphanumeric charactersis recommended. 7-18 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Security Settings for WEP Encryption When Encryption is set to WEP on the Security page for the WLAN profile, you will be able to configure WEP key length, WEP key index, and WEP key source. Other settings will be displayed depending on how WEP key source is configured. WEP Key Length Default Options Description 64bits 64bits, 128bits This field specifies the length of the WEP key. 64bits is the industry standard for WEP, but 128bits provides better protection. WEP Key Index Default Options Description 1 1 through 4 This field specifies the primary WEP key to use for the WLAN. WEP Key Source Default Options Description Manual Manual, Generate WEP keys by passphrase This field specifies whether the WEP key will be generated manually or through a user-
specified passphrase. A passphrase is equivalent to a free-text password that will be used to generate the WEP key. A passphrase is typically easier to remember and enter than a long and complicated WEP key. WEP Passphrase Default Options Description free text (e.g., This is the WEP passphrase) This field is only available if WEP key source is set to Generate WEP keys by passphrase. A standard hexadecimal password will be generated using the supplied passphrase. For example, if 404tech is entered, the WEP key will be DB971608E942FC39BD89FC4ADB. 7-19 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings WEP Key Format Default ASCII Options ASCII, HEX Description This field is only available if WEP key source is set to Manual. It specifies the format you will use to enter the WEP key. WEP Key 1 Through 4 Default Options Description free text in ASCII or HEX These fields are only available if WEP key source is set to Manual. Enter each WEP key in ASCII or HEX as specified in WEP key format. The number of characters required for each key depends on WEP key length and WEP key format. WEP Key Length WEP Key Format 64bits 128bits ASCII HEX ASCII HEX Key Length 5 characters 10 characters 13 characters 26 characters 7-20 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Security Settings for WPA, WPA2 When WPA or WPA2 is used for authentication, you will also need to configure EAP method in the Security settings for the WLAN profile. Other settings will also be displayed depending on how EAP method is configured. 7-21 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings There are two parts to WPA and WPA2 security, authentication, and data encryption. Authentication occurs before access is granted to a WLAN. Wireless clients such as the NPort W2150A/W2250A Series are first authenticated by the AP according to the authentication protocol used by the RADIUS server. Depending on the WLAN security settings, an EAP tunnel can be used to scramble the username and password that is submitted for authentication purposes. Encryption occurs after WLAN access has been granted. For all wireless devices, data is first encrypted before wireless transmission, using mutually agreed-upon encryption protocol. EAP Method Default Options Description PEAP TLS, PEAP, TTLS, LEAP This field specifies the EAP method to use for authentication. Four methods are supported. TLS: Transport Layer Security (TLS) was created by Microsoft and accepted by the IETF as RFC 2716: PPP EAP TLS Authentication Protocol. Passwords and tunneled authentication are not used. A user certificate and user private key are used to identify the NPort. The NPorts user certificate and user private key must already be installed on the RADIUS server. PEAP: Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) is a proprietary protocol which was developed by Microsoft, Cisco, and RSA Security. TTLS: Tunneled Transport Layer Security (TTLS) is a proprietary protocol which was developed by Funk Software and Certicom, and is supported by Agere Systems, Proxim, and Avaya. TTLS is being considered by the IETF as a new standard. For more information on TTLS, read the draft RFC EAP Tunneled TLS Authentication Protocol. LEAP: Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP) is a proprietary protocol which was developed by Cisco. LEAP doesnt check certificate during the authentication process. Tunneled Authentication Default PAP (when using TTLS) GTC (when using PEAP) GTC, MD5, MSCHAP V2 (when using PEAP) PAP, CHAP, MSCHAP, MSCHAP V2, EAP-MSCHAP V2, EAP-GTC, EAP-MD5 (when using TTLS) This field specifies the encryption method to use during the authentication process. Different methods are available, depending on the EAP Method setting. Options Description Username Default Options Description free text (e.g., Smith_John) This field specifies the username that will be used to gain access to the WLAN. The correct username and password must be provided for access to be granted. 7-22 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Password Default Options Description free text (e.g., Password123) This field specifies the password that will be used to gain access to the WLAN. The correct username and password must be provided for access to be granted. Anonymous Username Default Options Description free text (e.g., Anyuser) This field specifies the anonymous username to use when initiating authentication. After the RADIUS Server has been verified by certificate, the true username and password will be used to complete the authentication process. Verify Server Certificate Default Options Description Disable Disable, Enable Disable: The certificate from the RADIUS server will be ignored. Enable: The certificate from the RADIUS server will be used to authenticate access to the WLAN. The RADIUS servers trusted server certificate must already be installed on the NPort. To install a trusted server certificate, visit the corresponding page in the System Management> Certificate folder. Trusted Server Certificate This field is available for PEAP, TLS, and TTLS EAP methods only. It displays information on the trusted server certificate that is installed on the NPort. To install a trusted server certificate, visit the corresponding page in the System Management > Certificate folder. User Certificate This field is available only when the EAP method has been set to TLS. It displays information on the user certificate that is installed on the NPort. To install a user certificate, visit the corresponding page in the System Management > Certificate folder. User Private Key This field is available only when EAP method has been set to TLS. It displays information on the user private key on the NPort. WLAN Log Settings 7-23 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings WLAN Log Settings (This function is supported by firmware V1.10 or above) Default Options Description Disable Disable, Enable When the wireless connection between the device server and the AP is not stable, you may enable this function to have more information for troubleshooting. You may find System Monitoring System Status WLAN Log for the detail logs. Before calling for help from Moxa, please enable this function to collect some information. Advanced Settings On the Advanced Settings page in the Network Settings folder, you can modify Gratuitous ARP. For this function, the NPort will actively send ARP packets to inform the devices in the network how to find the NPort. If you enable Ethernet/Bridge mode, you can input the IP/MAC address of the legacy device that connected to the Ethernet port of the NPort. The NPort will help to send out the ARP packets with its IP address to inform the network how to find this legacy device. Gratuitous ARP Default Options Description Enabled Enable / Disable Gratuitous ARP requests provide duplicate IP address detection. The NPort sends broadcast packets to update ARP tables on other devices (e.g., AP, PC) periodically. We can use this function to notify networked devices that the NPort is still alive. Moreover, the NPort can send Gratuitous ARP for legacy devices that do not have this function. If you want the NPort to send Gratuitous ARP for legacy devices, you should enter the legacy devices IP and Mac addresses in IP/MAC address field. Send Period Default Options Description 180 seconds 10-1000 seconds This field specifies how long the NPort periodically sends Gratuitous ARP. IP/MAC Addresses Default Options Description N/A IP address and MAC address of the legacy device (e.g., IP: 192.168.1.1, MAC:
11:22:33:44:AA:11). This function only available when Ethernet Bridge is enabled. IP address: legacy device IP address. MAC address: legacy devices MAC address. 7-24 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings 7-25 8 8. Web Console: Serial Port Settings The following topics are covered in this chapter:

The NPort checks connection status by sending periodic keep- alive packets. 0: The TCP connection will remain open even if there is no response to the keep-alive packets. 1 to 99: If the remote host does not respond to the packet within the specified time, the NPort will force the existing TCP connection to close. 8-4 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Serial Port Settings Max connection Default Options Description 1 1 to 8 This field specifies the maximum number of connections that will be accepted by the serial port. 1: Only one specific host can access this serial port, and the Real COM driver on that host will have full control over the port. 2 to 8: This serial port will allow the specified number of connections to be opened simultaneously. With simultaneous connections, the Real COM driver will only provide a pure data tunnel with no control ability. The serial communication will be determined by the NPort rather than by your application program. Application software that is based on the Real COM driver will receive a driver response of success when using any of the Win32 API functions. The NPort will send data only to the Real COM driver on the host. Data received from hosts will be sent to the attached serial device on a first-in-first-out basis. ATTENTION When Max connection is two or greater, the serial ports communication settings (i.e., baudrate, parity, data bits, etc.) will be determined by the NPort. Any host that opens the COM port connection must use identical serial communication settings. Ignore jammed IP Default Disable Options Disable, Enable Description This field specifies how an unresponsive IP address is handled when there are simultaneous connections to the serial port.

Ethernet Modem Commands A serial port on the NPort can be set to Ethernet Modem mode, allowing a PC or device to connect to the NPort as if it was an Ethernet modem. This section provides additional detail about how the NPort operates in Ethernet Modem mode. Dial-in Operation The NPort can listen for a TCP/IP connection request from a remote Ethernet modem or host. The NPorts response depends on the ATS0 value, as follows. ATS0=0: The NPort will temporarily accept the TCP connection and then send the RING signal out through the serial port. The serial controller must reply with ATA within 2.5 seconds to accept the connection request, after which the NPort enters data mode. If no ATA command is received, the NPort will disconnect after sending three RING signals. ATS01: The NPort will accept the TCP connection immediately. It will send the CONNECT {baudrate}
command to the serial port and will immediately enter data mode. Dial-out The NPort accepts ATD commands such as ATD 192.168.1.1:4001 from the serial port. It will then request a TCP connection from the specified remote Ethernet modem or PC. Once the remote unit accepts this TCP connection, the NPort will send the CONNECT {baudrate} command to the serial port and will immediately enter data mode. Disconnection Request from Local Site When the NPort is in data mode, you can initiate disconnection by sending +++. Some applications allow you to directly set the DTR signal to off, which will also initiate disconnection. The NPort will enter command mode, and you can then enter ATH to close the TCP connection NO CARRIER will be returned to the serial port. ATTENTION When entering +++ to disconnect, the three + characters must be sent in quick succession, and the sequence must be prefaced and followed by a guard time to protect the raw data.

You can also install the NPort on a DIN-rail or on the wall. Wall Mounting DIN-Rail Mounting Connecting the Hardware ATTENTION Before connecting the hardware, follow these important wiring safety precautions:
Disconnect power source Do not install or wire this unit or any attached devices with the power connected. Disconnect the power before installation by removing the power cord before installing and/or wiring your unit. Follow maximum current ratings Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment. Use caution - unit may get hot The unit will generate heat during operation, and the casing may feel hot to the touch. Take care when handling unit. Be sure to leave adequate space for ventilation. The following guidelines will help ensure trouble-free signal communication with the NPort. Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices to avoid interference. Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. The rule of thumb is that wiring 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 testing and troubleshooting 2-5 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Getting Started Connecting to the Network Use the supplied Ethernet cable to connect the NPort to your Ethernet network. If the cable is properly connected, the NPort will indicate a valid connection to the Ethernet as follows:
A green Ethernet LED indicates a valid connection to a 100 Mbps Ethernet network. An orange Ethernet LED indicates a valid connection to a 10 Mbps Ethernet network. A flashing Ethernet LED indicates that Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received. Connecting the Power Connect the VDC power line (12 to 48 V) to the NPorts power jack or terminal block. If power is properly connected, the Ready LED will initially glow red. When the system is ready, the Ready LED will turn green. Connecting to a Serial Device Use a serial cable to connect your serial device to a serial port on the NPort. 2-6 3 3. Initial IP Configuration The following topics are covered in this chapter:

If the Ethernet link is active, then WLAN connections will be disabled. If the WLAN connection is active, then the Ethernet link will be disabled. ATTENTION Make sure that the Ethernet cable is connected before powering up the NPort. Factory Default IP Settings Network Interface LAN WLAN IP Configuration Static Static IP Address 192.168.126.254 192.168.127.254 Netmask 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0 If your NPort is configured to obtain its IP settings from a DHCP or BOOTP server but is unable to get a response, it will use the factory default IP address and netmask. ATTENTION If you forget the IP address of your NPort, you can look it up using the NPort Search Utility. After NPort Search Utility has found all NPorts on the network, each unit will be listed with its IP address. Please refer to Chapter 11 for additional information on using NPort Search Utility. Using ARP to Assign IP Address The ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command can be used to assign an IP address to the NPort. The ARP command tells your computer to associate the NPorts MAC address with the specified IP address. You must then use Telnet to access the NPort, at which point the device servers IP address will be reconfigured. This method only works when the NPort is configured with default IP settings. 1. Select a valid IP address for your NPort. Consult with your network administrator if necessary. 2. Obtain the NPorts MAC address from the label on its bottom panel. 3. From the DOS prompt, execute the arp -s command with the desired IP address and the NPorts MAC address, as in the following example:
arp -s 192.168.200.100 00-90-E8-xx-xx-xx In this example 192.168.200.100 is the new IP address that will be assigned to the NPort, and 00-90-E8-xx-xx-xx is the NPorts MAC address. 4. From the DOS prompt, execute a special Telnet command using port 6000, as in the following example:
telnet 192.168.200.100 6000 In this example, 192.168.200.100 is the new IP address that will be assigned to the NPort. 3-2 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Initial IP Configuration 5. You will see a message indicating that the connection failed. The NPort will automatically reboot with the new IP address. You can verify that the configuration was successful by connecting to the new IP address with Telnet, ping, the web console, or NPort Search Utility. Using the Telnet Console to Assign IP Address 1. Select Run from the Windows Start menu. 2. Enter telnet 192.168.126.254 (the NPorts default IP address) and click [OK]. 3. Enter your login account and password, then press ENTER. 4. You will login to the Overview page. 3-3 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Initial IP Configuration 5. Press N or use the cursor keys to select Network and press ENTER. 6.

For IP address, Netmask, and Gateway, enter the desired values directly. For IP configuration and LAN speed, press ENTER to open a submenu and select between the available options. 8. Press ESC to return to the menu. When prompted, press Y to save the configuration changes. The NPort will reboot with the new IP settings. You can telnet to the new IP to login again. 3-5 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Initial IP Configuration Using the Serial Console to Assign IP Address Before using the NPorts serial console, turn off the power and use a serial cable to connect the NPort console port to your computers serial port. Port 1 on the NPort serves as the console port. Use Port 1 connecting to the console port with a serial-based terminal or terminal emulator program, such as Windows HyperTerminal. You may also download PComm Lite at www.moxa.com. The terminal type should be set as ANSI or VT100, and the serial communication parameters should be set as 19200, 8, N, 1 (19200 for baud rate, 8 for data bits, None for parity, and 1 for stop bits). As soon as the connection is open, you will be presented with a text menu displaying the NPort W2150A/W2250A Series general settings. Please refer to Chapter 4 for a description of the available settings. The following instructions, we recommend using PComm Terminal Emulator, which can be downloaded free of charge from www.moxa.com, to carry out the configuration procedure. 1. Connect your PCs serial port to the NPorts console port. 2. Open your terminal emulator program, such as Windows HyperTerminal. We recommend using PComm Terminal Emulator, which can be downloaded for free at www.moxa.com. 3. In your terminal emulator program, configure the communication parameters for the serial port on the PC. The parameters should be set to 19200 for baud rate, 8 for data bits, None for parity, and 1 for stop bits. 4. In your terminal emulator program, set the terminal type to ANSI or VT100. If you select Dumb Terminal as the terminal type, some of the console functionsespecially the Monitor functionmay not work properly. 3-6 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Initial IP Configuration 5. Hold the grave accent key (`) down and power up the NPort. The continuous string of grave accent characters triggers the NPort to switch from data mode to console mode. 6. The serial console will open and will be functionally identical to the Telnet console. Please refer to the Telnet console section for instructions on how to navigate the console and configure the IP settings. 3-7 4 4. Introduction to Operation Modes The following topics are covered in this chapter:
Overview RealCOM Mode RFC2217 Mode TCP Server Mode TCP Client Mode UDP Mode Pair Master and Pair Connection Modes Ethernet Modem Mode NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Introduction to Operation Modes Overview This chapter introduces the different serial port operation modes that are available on the NPort W2150A/W2250A Series. Each serial port on the NPort is configured independently of the other ports, with its own serial communication parameters and operation mode. The serial ports operation mode determines how it interacts with the network, and different modes are available to encompass a wide variety of applications and devices. RealCOM and RFC2217 modes allow serial-based software to access the NPort serial 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-based software, without investing in additional software. Three different socket modes are available for user-developed socket programs: TCP Server, TCP Client, and UDP Server/Client. For TCP applications, the appropriate mode depends on whether the connection will be hosted or initiated from the NPort serial port or from the network. The main difference between the TCP 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 also 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 limitations with serial transmission distance. In Ethernet Modem mode, the NPort acts as an Ethernet modem, providing a network connection to a host through the serial port. RealCOM Mode RealCOM 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 and UNIX systems. The driver establishes a transparent connection to the attached serial device by mapping a local serial port to the NPort serial port. RealCOM mode supports up to four simultaneous connections, so multiple hosts can collect data from the attached device at the same time. ATTENTION RealCOM drivers are installed and configured through NPort Windows Driver Manager. RealCOM mode allows you to continue using your serial communications software to access devices that are now attached to your NPort device server. On the host, the NPort RealCOM driver automatically intercepts data sent to the COM port, packs it into a TCP/IP packet, and redirects it to the network. At the other end of the connection, the NPort device server accepts the Ethernet frame, unpacks the TCP/IP packet, and sends the serial data to the appropriate device. 4-2 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Introduction to Operation Modes ATTENTION In RealCOM mode, several hosts can have simultaneous access control over the NPort serial port. If necessary, you can limit access by using the NPorts Accessible IP settings. Please refer to Chapter 8 for additional information on Accessible IP settings. RFC2217 Mode RFC-2217 mode is similar to RealCOM mode, since it relies on a driver to transparently map a virtual COM port on a host computer to a serial port on the NPort. The RFC2217 standard defines general COM port control options based on the Telnet protocol and supports one connection at a time. Third party drivers supporting RFC-2217 are widely available on the Internet and can be used to implement virtual COM mapping. TCP Server Mode In TCP Server mode, the NPort serial 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 attached serial device. This operation mode also supports up to eight simultaneous connections, so multiple hosts can collect data from the attached device at the same time. Data transmission proceeds as follows:
A host requests a connection to the NPort serial port. Once the connection is established, data can be transmitted in both directionsfrom the host to the device, and from the device to the host. TCP Client Mode In TCP Client mode, the NPort actively establishes a TCP connection to a specific network host when data is received from the attached serial device. After the data has been transferred, the NPort can automatically disconnect from the host computer through the Inactivity time settings. Please refer to Chapter 7 for details on these parameters. Data transmission proceeds as follows:
The NPort requests a connection from the host. The connection is established and data can be transmitted in both directions between the host and device. 4-3 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Introduction to Operation Modes UDP Mode UDP is similar to TCP but is faster and more efficient. Data can be broadcast to or received from multiple network hosts. However, UDP does not support verification of data and would not be suitable for applications where data integrity is critical. It is ideal for message display applications. Pair Connection Modes Pair Connection Master and Slave modes connect two NPort device servers over a network for serial-to-serial communication. A device attached to one NPort can then communicate transparently to a device attached to the other NPort, as if the two devices were connected by a serial cable. Both data and modem control signals are exchanged, except for DCD signals. This can be used to overcome traditional limitations with serial communication distance and introduces many new possibilities for serial-based device control. Ethernet Modem Mode Ethernet Modem mode is designed for use with legacy operating systems, such as MS-DOS, that do not support TCP/IP Ethernet. By connecting the properly configured NPort serial port to the MS-DOS computers serial port, it is possible to use legacy software to transmit data over the Ethernet when the software was originally designed to transmit data over a modem. 4-4 5 5. Web Console: Basic Settings The following topics are covered in this chapter:
Overview Basic Settings NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Basic Settings Overview This chapter introduces the NPort web console and explains how to configure the basic settings. The NPort can be configured from anywhere on the network through its web console. Simply point the browser to the device servers IP address to open the web console. Network settings, operation mode, and other items can all be configured through the browser. Web Browser Settings In order to use the web console, you will need to have cookies enabled for your browser. Please note that the web console uses cookies only for password transmission. For Internet Explorer, cookies can be enabled by right-clicking the Internet Explorer icon on your desktop and selecting Properties from the context menu. On the Security tab, click Custom Level and enable these two items:
Allow cookies that are stored on your computer. Allow per-session cookies (not stored). ATTENTION If you are not using Internet Explorer, cookies are usually enabled through a web browser setting such as allow cookies that are stored on your computer or allow per-session cookies. Navigating the Web Console To open the web console, enter your device servers IP address in the website address line. If you are configuring the NPort for the first time over an Ethernet cable, you will use the default IP address, 192.168.126.254. There are two account types: admin and user. If you enter the system with admin account, you will have the right to read and write. If you enter the system with user account, you will only have the right to read. If prompted, enter the console password. You will only be prompted for a password if you have enabled password protection on the device server. The password will be transmitted with MD5 encryption over the Ethernet. 5-2 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Basic Settings ATTENTION If you have forgotten the password, you can use the reset button to load factory defaults, but this will erase all previous configuration information. The web console will appear as shown below. Settings are presented on pages that are organized by folder. Select the desired folder in the left navigation panel to open that page. The page will be displayed in the main window on the right. Certain folders can be expanded by clicking the adjacent symbol. For example, if you click Basic Settings in the navigation panel, the main window will show a page of basic settings that you can configure. After you have made changes on a page, you must click [Submit] in the main window before jumping to another page. Your changes will be lost if you do not click [Submit]. 5-3 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Basic Settings Once you click [Submit] button, the device server will reboot and with a beep alarm. Basic Settings On the Basic Settings page, you can configure Server name, Server location, Time zone (24-hour), Local time, and Time server. Server Name Default Options Description NPortW2150A_<serial no.> or NPortW2250A_<serial no.>
free text (e.g., Server 1) This is an optional free text field to help you differentiate one device server from another. It does not affect operation of the NPort device server. Server Location Default Options Description free text (e.g., Bldg 1, 2nd Floor) This is an optional free text field to help you differentiate one device server from another. It does not affect operation of the NPort device server. Time Zone Default Options Description

This field shows the current time according to the NPorts built-in real-time clock. This is not a live field, so you will need to refresh the browser to get an updated reading. Change the correct date or time, and click [Submit]. The change will take effect directly, and shows Basic Setting OK!. ATTENTION There is a risk of explosion if the real-time clock battery is replaced incorrectly!
The real time clock is powered by a lithium battery. We strongly recommend that you obtain assistance from a Moxa support engineer before replacing the battery. Please contact the Moxa RMA service team if you need to change the battery. Time Server Default Options Description IP address or domain name (e.g., 192.168.1.1 or time.nist.gov) This optional field specifies your time servers IP address or domain name, if a time server is used in your network. The NPort supports SNTP (RFC-1769) for automatic time calibration. The device server will request time information from the specified time server every 10 minutes. 5-5 6 6. Web Console: Network Settings The following topics are covered in this chapter:
Overview Network Settings General Settings Ethernet Settings WLAN Settings Advanced Settings NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Overview This chapter explains how to configure all settings located under the Network Settings folder in the NPort web console. Network Settings General Settings On the General Settings page in the Network Settings folder, you can modify DNS server 1 and 2. DNS Server 1 and 2 Default Options Description IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1) This field is for the DNS servers IP address, if applicable. With the DNS server configured, the NPort device server can use domain names instead of IP addresses to access hosts. Domain Name System (DNS) is how 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 easier 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 users computer sends the domain name (e.g., www.moxa.com) to a DNS server to request that websites numeric IP address. When the IP address is received from the DNS server, the users computer uses that information to connect to the websites 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. 6-2 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Ethernet Settings On the Ethernet Settings page in the Network Settings folder, you can modify IP configuration, IP address, Netmask, and Gateway. You must assign a valid IP address to the NPort before it will work in your network environment. Your network system administrator should provide you with an IP address and related settings for your network. The IP address must be unique within the network; otherwise the NPort will not have a valid connection to the network. First-time users should refer to Chapter 3, Initial IP Address Configuration, for more information. IP Configuration Default Static Options Static, DHCP, DHCP/BOOTP, BOOTP Description This field determines how the NPorts IP address will be assigned. Static: IP address, netmask, and gateway are user-defined. DHCP: IP address, netmask, gateway, DNS, and time server are assigned by DHCP server. DHCP/BOOTP: IP address, netmask, gateway, DNS, and time server are assigned by DHCP server. IP address is assigned by BOOTP server if DHCP server does not respond. BOOTP: IP address is assigned by BOOTP server. IP Address Default Options Description 192.168.126.254 IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1) This field is for the IP address that will be assigned to your NPort device server. 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 server will be assigned a dynamic IP address, set the IP configuration parameter appropriately. 6-3 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Netmask Default Options Description Gateway Default Options Description 255.255.255.0 Netmask setting (e.g., 255.255.0.0) 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 subnet mask to check whether the desired TCP/IP host specified in the packet is on the local network segment. If the address is on the same network segment as the device server, a connection is established directly from the device server. Otherwise, the connection is established through the gateway as specified in the Gateway parameter. IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1) 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 address of the default gateway computer in order to communicate with the hosts outside the local network environment. Consult your network administrator if you do not know how to set this parameter. ATTENTION In dynamic IP environments, the NPort will send 3 requests every 30 seconds to the DHCP or BOOTP server until the network settings have successfully been assigned. The first request will time out after one second; the second request will time out after three seconds, and the third request will timeout after five second. If the DHCP or BOOTP server is unavailable, the NPort will use the factory default network settings. WLAN Settings WLAN 6-4 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings The WLAN page is located under WLAN Settings in the Network Settings folder. You can modify IP configuration, IP address, Netmask, and Gateway for your WLAN. The NPort W2150A/W2250A Series supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g wireless network interfaces. The supported IP configurations are static and dynamic (BOOTP, DHCP, or BOOTP+DHCP). Users can set up the IP configuration with the serial console, or the Web/Telnet consoles through the NPorts Ethernet interface. For detailed information about configuring IP configuration, IP address, Netmask, and Gateway, see the previous section, Ethernet Configuration. IP Configuration Default Static Options Static, DHCP, DHCP/BOOTP, BOOTP Description This field determines how the NPorts IP address will be assigned. Static: IP address, netmask, and gateway are user-defined. DHCP: IP address, netmask, gateway, DNS, and time server are assigned by DHCP server. DHCP/BOOTP: IP address, netmask, gateway, DNS, and time server are assigned by DHCP server. IP address is assigned by BOOTP server if DHCP server does not respond. BOOTP: IP address is assigned by BOOTP server. IP Address Default Options Description Netmask Default Options Description Gateway Default Options Description 192.168.127.254 IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1) This field is for the IP address that will be assigned to your NPort device server. 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 WLAN environment. If your device server will be assigned a dynamic IP address, set the IP configuration parameter appropriately. 255.255.255.0 Netmask setting (e.g., 255.255.0.0) 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 subnet mask to check whether the desired TCP/IP host specified in the packet is on the local network segment. If the address is on the same network segment as the device server, a connection is established directly from the device server. Otherwise, the connection is established through the gateway as specified in the Gateway parameter. IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.1) 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 address of the default gateway computer in order to communicate with the hosts outside the local network environment. Consult your network administrator if you do not know how to set this parameter. 6-5 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Profile The Profile page is located under WLAN Settings in the Network Settings folder. This is where you configure the NPort for Ad-hoc or Infrastructure operation. Different settings are available depending on whether you select Ad-hoc Mode or Infrastructure Mode. 6-6 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Network Type Default Options Description Infrastructure Mode Infrastructure Mode, Ad-hoc Mode This field specifies whether the NPort will operate in Ad-hoc or Infrastructure Mode. For all wireless networking devices, there are two possible modes for communication with another wireless device. Devices that are configured for Ad-hoc Mode automatically detect and communicate directly with each other and do not require a wireless access point (AP) or gateway. Wireless devices that are configured for Infrastructure Mode do not communicate directly with each other, but through a wireless access point (AP). Devices must be configured for the same mode in order to communicate with each other. Devices in Ad-Hoc Mode will only recognize other devices in Ad-Hoc Mode, and likewise for devices in Infrastructure Mode. Example of Ad-Hoc Mode Example of Infrastructure Mode After setting the Network type, you will need to adjust the General and Security settings for the profile. In Ad-hoc Mode, only one profile is available. In Infrastructure Mode, three profiles can be defined. 6-7 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings General Settings for WLAN Profile The General page is opened through the Profile page, under WLAN Settings in the Network Settings folder. You can type a profile name to help you differentiate one profile from another. It does not affect operation of the NPort. After selecting Ad-hoc or Infrastructure Mode, click [General] to open the General page for the selected profile. In Ad-hoc Mode and Infrastructure Mode, only one profile is available. In Ad-hoc Mode 6-8 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings In Infrastructure Mode On the General page, you can configure Profile name, Operation mode, and SSID. Additional settings are also available depending on whether you select Ad-hoc Mode or Infrastructure Mode. Profile Name Default Ad-hoc (in Ad-hoc Mode) Infrastructure (in Infrastructure Mode) free text (e.g., Primary Connection) This is a free text field to help you differentiate one profile from another. It does not affect operation of the NPort. Options Description 6-9 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Operation Mode Default Options Description 802.11b/g for Ad-Hoc Mode. Auto, 802.11b/g, and 802.11a for Infrastructure Mode. Auto, 802.11a, 802.11b/g This field determines which wireless standard will be used by the selected profile. 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g are supported. Auto: In Ad-hoc Mode, the NPort will scan the 2.4G wireless band and will automatically select the appropriate wireless standard for communication with any other wireless devices that are detected. In Infrastructure Mode, the NPort will automatically select between 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g according to the settings of the AP. 802.11a: This setting is only available in Infrastructure Mode. The Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) 5 GHz band is used for communication, which is different from the RF band used by 802.11b and 802.11g. Consequently, 802.11a devices will not be able to communicate with 802.11b or 802.11g devices. (Multi-mode 802.11a/b/g APs or client adapters can be used to resolve this.) Transmission rates up to 54Mbps are supported. 802.11b/g: This option means our device will support for 802.11b or 802.11g. 802.11b: This is the well-known Wi-Fi standard, also referred to as 802.11 High-Rate
(HR). Wireless communication is in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, using the DSSS spread spectrum transmission scheme. 802.11b supports data rates of 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, and 11 Mbps. 802.11g: This is currently the most widely used standard for wireless LANS and is sometimes referred to as 54g. Communication is in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). Data rates up to 54 Mbps are supported. SSID Default Options Description Default free text (e.g., Coffeeshop WLAN) This field specifies the SSID, or name, of the wireless network (SSID) that will be used by the NPort. Wireless devices must use the same SSID in order to communicate with each other. Channel (Ad-hoc mode only) Default Options Description 1 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 This field is for Ad-Hoc Mode only and specifies the radio channel to use for the wireless network. 6-10 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Fast Roaming (Infrastructure mode only) Default Options Description Disable Disable, Enable This field is only available in Infrastructure Mode and is used to specify the W2150A/W2250A roaming behavior. Roaming is the ability to connect to different APs so wireless communication is not confined to one area or one particular AP. The W2150A/W2250A will only roam between APs, as specified by the SSID. Disable: Fast Roaming function will be disabled. W2150A/W2250A will scan all available channels and roam between APs as specified by the SSID. It scans the channel when booting up and will associate with the highest signal strength AP. Only when the associated AP is loses, then it will re-associate again. Enable: Fast Roaming function will be enabled. NPort W2150A/W2250A will only scan the pre-defined "Scan Channels - 1, Scan Channels
- 2 & Scan Channels 3" and roam between APs as specified by the SSID. It scans the channel and will associate with the highest signal strength AP. It also scans the channel regularly and will re-associate with the highest signal strength AP (if there is) by automatically. Scan channels 1, Scan channels 2, Scan channels 3 (Infrastructure mode only) Default Options N/A 1 through 14, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124, 128, 132, 136, 140, 149, 153, 157, 161 This field is for fast roaming under Infrastructure Mode and specifies the radio channel to use for the wireless network. Choose the channel according to the factory setting of AP. Description Security Settings for WLAN Profile The Security page is opened through the Profile page, under WLAN Settings in the Network Settings folder. After selecting Ad-hoc or Infrastructure Mode, click [Security] to open the Security page for the selected profile. In Ad-hoc Mode, only one profile is available, whereas three profiles are available in Infrastructure Mode. 6-11 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings In Ad-hoc Mode 6-12 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings In Infrastructure Mode You will need to configure Authentication and Encryption. These settings must match the settings on the wireless device at the other end of the connection (such as the AP). Different settings and options are available depending on how Authentication and Encryption are configured. 6-13 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Authentication Default Options Description Open System Open System, Shared Key, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK This field specifies how wireless devices will be authenticated. Only authenticated devices will be allowed to communicate with the NPort. If a RADIUS server is used, this setting must match the setting on the RADIUS server. Open System: The NPort will simply announce a desire to associate with another station or access point. No authentication is required. For Ad-hoc Mode, this is the only option for authentication, since Ad-hoc Mode was designed for open communication. Shared Key: This option is only available in Infrastructure Mode. Authentication involves a more rigorous exchange of frames to ensure that the requesting station is authentic. WEP encryption is required. WPA: This is a managed authentication option that is only available in Infrastructure Mode. WPA was created by the Wi-Fi Alliance, the industry trade group that owns the Wi-Fi trademark and certifies devices with the Wi-Fi name. It is based on Draft 3 of the IEEE 802.11i standard. Each user uses a unique key for authentication, distributed from an IEEE 802.1X authentication server, also known as a RADIUS server. This option is also referred to as WPA Enterprise Mode, since it is intended to meet rigorous enterprise security requirements. Tunneled authentication is supported, depending on the EAP method selected. WPA-PSK: This is an unmanaged authentication option that is only available in Infrastructure Mode. Instead of a unique key for each user, a pre-shared key (PSK) is manually entered on the access point to generate an encryption key that is shared among all users. Consequently, this method does not scale well for enterprise. A PSK that uses a mix of letters, numbers and non-alphanumeric characters is recommended. This option is also referred to as WPA Personal Mode, since it is designed for the needs and capabilities of small home and office WLANs. WPA2: This is a managed authentication option that is only available in Infrastructure Mode. WPA2 implements the mandatory elements of 802.11i. Supported encryption algorithms include TKIP, Michael, and AES-based CCMP, which is considered fully secure. Since March 13, 2006, WPA2 has been mandatory for all Wi-Fi-certified devices. This option may also be referred to as WPA Enterprise Mode. Tunneled authentication is supported, depending on the EAP method selected. WPA2-PSK: This is an unmanaged authentication option that is only available in Infrastructure Mode. It employs WP2 encryption algorithms but relies on a PSK for authentication. A PSK that uses a mix of letters, numbers and non-alphanumeric characters is recommended. This option can also be referred to as WPA Personal Mode. 6-14 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Encryption Default Options Description Disable Disable, WEP, TKIP, AES-CCMP This field specifies the type of encryption to use during wireless communication. Different encryption methods are available depending on the Authentication setting. Also, each encryption method has its own set of parameters that may also require configuration. Disable: No encryption is applied to the data during wireless communication. This option is only available if Authentication is set to Open System. WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is only available for Open System and Shared Key authentication methods. Data is encrypted according to a key. The NPort supports both 64 and 128-bit keys. This method may deter casual snooping but is not considered very secure. TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is only available for WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK authentication methods. TKIP is part of a draft standard from the IEEE 802.11i working group and utilizes the RC4 stream cipher with 128-bit keys for encryption and 64-bit keys for authentication. TKIP improves on WEP by adding a per-packet key mixing function to de-correlate the public initialization vectors (IVs) from weak keys. AES-CCMP: This is a powerful encryption method that is only available for WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK authentication methods. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the block cipher system used by the Robust Secure Network (RSN) protocol and is equivalent to the RC4 algorithm used by WPA. CCMP is the security protocol used by AES, equivalent to TKIP for WPA. Data undergoes a Message Integrity Check (MIC) using a well-known and proven technique called Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code (CBC-MAC). The technique ensures that even a one-bit alteration in a message produces a dramatically different result. Master keys are not used directly but are used to derive other keys, each of which expire after a certain amount of time. Messages are encrypted using a secret 128-bit key and a 128-bit block of data. The encryption process is complex, but the administrator does not need to be aware of the intricacies of the computations. The end result is encryption that is much harder to break than even WPA. PSK Passphrase Default Options Description free text (e.g., This is the WLAN passphrase) This field is only available for WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication methods. If the NPorts passphrase does not match the APs passphrase, the connection will be denied. A PSK of sufficient strengthone that uses a mix of letters, numbers and non-alphanumeric charactersis recommended. 6-15 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Security Settings for WEP Encryption When Encryption is set to WEP on the Security page for the WLAN profile, you will be able to configure WEP key length, WEP key index, and WEP key source. Other settings will be displayed depending on how WEP key source is configured. WEP Key Length Default 64bits Options 64bits, 128bits Description This field specifies the length of the WEP key. 64bits is the industry standard for WEP, but 128bits provides better protection. WEP Key Index Default Options Description 1 1 through 4 This field specifies the primary WEP key to use for the WLAN. 6-16 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings WEP Key Source Default Options Description Manual Manual, Generate WEP keys by passphrase This field specifies whether the WEP key will be generated manually or through a user-specified passphrase. A passphrase is equivalent to a free-text password that will be used to generate the WEP key. A passphrase is typically easier to remember and enter than a long and complicated WEP key. WEP Passphrase Default Options Description free text (e.g., This is the WEP passphrase) This field is only available if WEP key source is set to Generate WEP keys by passphrase. A standard hexadecimal password will be generated using the supplied passphrase. For example, if 404tech is entered, the WEP key will be DB971608E942FC39BD89FC4ADB. WEP Key Format Default ASCII Options ASCII, HEX Description This field is only available if WEP key source is set to Manual. It specifies the format you will use to enter the WEP key. WEP Key 1 Through 4 Default Options Description free text in ASCII or HEX These fields are only available if WEP key source is set to Manual. Enter each WEP key in ASCII or HEX as specified in WEP key format. The number of characters required for each key depends on WEP key length and WEP key format. WEP Key Length WEP Key Format 64bits 128bits ASCII HEX ASCII HEX Key Length 5 characters 10 characters 13 characters 26 characters 6-17 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Security Settings for WPA, WPA2 When WPA or WPA2 is used for authentication, you will also need to configure EAP method in the Security settings for the WLAN profile. Other settings will also be displayed depending on how EAP method is configured. 6-18 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings There are two parts to WPA and WPA2 security, authentication and data encryption. Authentication occurs before access is granted to a WLAN. Wireless clients such as the NPort W2150A/W2250A Series are first authenticated by the AP according to the authentication protocol used by the RADIUS server. Depending on the WLAN security settings, an EAP tunnel can be used to scramble the username and password that is submitted for authentication purposes. Encryption occurs after WLAN access has been granted. For all wireless devices, data is first encrypted before wireless transmission, using mutually agreed-upon encryption protocol. EAP Method Default Options Description PEAP TLS, PEAP, TTLS, LEAP This field specifies the EAP method to use for authentication. Four methods are supported. TLS: Transport Layer Security (TLS) was created by Microsoft and accepted by the IETF as RFC 2716: PPP EAP TLS Authentication Protocol. Passwords and tunneled authentication are not used. A user certificate and user private key are used to identify the NPort. The NPorts user certificate and user private key must already be installed on the RADIUS server. PEAP: Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) is a proprietary protocol which was developed by Microsoft, Cisco and RSA Security. TTLS: Tunneled Transport Layer Security (TTLS) is a proprietary protocol which was developed by Funk Software and Certicom, and is supported by Agere Systems, Proxim, and Avaya. TTLS is being considered by the IETF as a new standard. For more information on TTLS, read the draft RFC EAP Tunneled TLS Authentication Protocol. LEAP: Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP) is a proprietary protocol which was developed by Cisco. LEAP doesnt check certificate during the authentication process. Tunneled Authentication Default Options Description Username Default Options Description PAP (when using TTLS) GTC (when using PEAP) GTC, MD5, MSCHAP V2 (when using PEAP) PAP, CHAP, MSCHAP, MSCHAP V2, EAP-MSCHAP V2, EAP-GTC, EAP-MD5 (when using TTLS) This field specifies the encryption method to use during the authentication process. Different methods are available depending on the EAP Method setting. free text (e.g., Smith_John) This field specifies the username that will be used to gain access to the WLAN. The correct username and password must be provided for access to be granted. 6-19 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Password Default Options Description free text (e.g., Password123) This field specifies the password that will be used to gain access to the WLAN. The correct username and password must be provided for access to be granted. Anonymous Username Default Options Description free text (e.g., Anyuser) This field specifies the anonymous username to use when initiating authentication. After the RADIUS Server has been verified by certificate, the true username and password will be used to complete the authentication process. Verify Server Certificate Default Options Description Disable Disable, Enable Disable: The certificate from the RADIUS server will be ignored. Enable: The certificate from the RADIUS server will be used to authenticate access to the WLAN. The RADIUS servers trusted server certificate must already be installed on the NPort. To install a trusted server certificate, visit the corresponding page in the System Management> Certificate folder. Trusted Server Certificate This field is available for PEAP, TLS, and TTLS EAP methods only. It displays information on the trusted server certificate that is installed on the NPort. To install a trusted server certificate, visit the corresponding page in the System Management > Certificate folder. User Certificate This field is available only when EAP method has been set to TLS. It displays information on the user certificate that is installed on the NPort. To install a user certificate, visit the corresponding page in the System Management > Certificate folder. User Private Key This field is available only when EAP method has been set to TLS. It displays information on the user private key on the NPort. 6-20 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Network Settings Advanced Settings On the Advanced Settings page in the Network Settings folder, you can modify Gratuitous ARP. Gratuitous ARP Default Options Description Disabled Disabled, Enabled, 10 to 1000 sec This field specifies how often the NPort sends broadcast packets to update the ARP table. This may be required for certain applications. Disabled: The NPort will not send broadcast packets to update the ARP table. Enabled: The NPort will send periodically send broadcast packets at the time interval as specified by Send period. 6-21 7 7. Web Console: Serial Port Settings The following topics are covered in this chapter:
Overview Serial Port Settings Communication Parameters Data Buffering/Log NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Serial Port Settings Overview This chapter explains how to configure all settings located under the Serial Port Settings folder in the NPort web console. Serial Port Settings Operation Modes Each serial port on the NPort is configured through the hyperlink below the column of Operating mode. Click the link of RealCOM, it will show the Port settings page. The Operation Modes page for each serial port is where you configure the serial ports operation mode and related settings. For an introduction to the different operation modes, please refer to Chapter 4. 7-2 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Serial Port Settings Operation Mode Default Options Description RealCOM RealCOM, RFC2217, TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP, Pair_Master, Pair_Slave, EModem Along with Application, this field specifies the serial ports operation mode, or how it will interact with network devices. Depending on how Application is configured, different options are available for Mode. Depending on how Mode is configured, additional settings will be available for configuration. For an introduction to the different operation modes, please refer to Chapter 4. RealCOM: This serial port will operate in RealCOM mode. RFC2217: This serial port will operate in RFC2217 mode. TCP Server: This serial port will operate in TCP Server mode. TCP Client: This serial port will operate in TCP Client mode. UDP: This serial port will operate in UDP mode. Pair_Master: This serial port will operate in Pair Connection Master mode. Pair_Slave: This serial port will operate in Pair Connection Slave mode. EModem: This serial port will operate in Ethernet Modem mode. 7-3 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Serial Port Settings Settings for RealCOM Mode When Operation Mode is set to RealCOM on a serial ports Operation Modes page, you will be able to configure additional settings including TCP alive check time, Max connection, Ignore jammed IP, Allow driver Control, Connection goes down, Packet length, Delimiter 1, Delimiter 2, Delimiter process, and Force transmit. TCP Alive Check Time Default Options Description 7 min 0 to 99 min This field specifies how long the NPort will wait for a response to keep alive packets before closing the TCP connection. The NPort checks connection status by sending periodic keep alive packets. 0: The TCP connection will remain open even if there is no response to the keep alive packets. 1 to 99: If the remote host does not respond to the packet within the specified time, the NPort will force the existing TCP connection to close. 7-4 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Serial Port Settings Max connection Default Options Description 1 1 to 8 This field specifies the maximum number of connections that will be accepted by the serial port. 1: Only one specific host can access this serial port, and the RealCOM driver on that host will have full control over the port. 2 to 8: This serial port will allow the specified number of connections to be opened simultaneously. With simultaneous connections, the RealCOM driver will only provide a pure data tunnel with no control ability. The serial communication will be determined by the NPort rather than by your application program. Application software that is based on the RealCOM driver will receive a driver response of success when using any of the Win32 API functions. The NPort will send data only to the RealCOM driver on the host. Data received from hosts will be sent to the attached serial device on a first-in-first-out basis. ATTENTION When Max connection is 2 or greater, the serial ports communication settings (i.e., baudrate, parity, data bits, etc.) will be determined by the NPort. Any host that opens the COM port connection must use identical serial communication settings. Ignore jammed IP Default Disable Options Disable, Enable Description This field specifies how an unresponsive IP address is handled when there are simultaneous connections to the serial port. Disable: All transmission will be suspended if one IP address becomes unresponsive. Transmission will only resume when all hosts have responded. Enable: Data transmission to the other hosts will not be suspended if one IP address becomes unresponsive. Allow driver control Default Options Description Disable Disable, Enable This field specifies how the port will proceed if driver control commands are received from multiple hosts that are connected to the port. Disable: Driver control commands will be ignored. Enable: Control commands will be accepted, with the most recent command received taking precedence. 7-5 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Serial Port Settings Connection goes down Default Options Description always high always low, always high This field specifies what happens to the RTS and DTR signals when the Ethernet connection goes down. For some applications, serial devices need to know the Ethernet link status through RTS or DTR signals sent through the serial port. Always low: The selected signal will change to low when the Ethernet connection goes down. Always high The selected signal will remain high when the Ethernet connection goes down. Packet length Default 0 Options 0 to 1024 Description This field specifies the maximum amount of data that is allowed to accumulate in the serial port buffer before sending. 0: Packet length is disregarded and data in the buffer will be sent as specified by the delimiter settings or when the buffer is full. 1 to 1024: Data in the buffer will be sent as soon it reaches the specified length. Delimiter 1 and 2 Default Options Description Disabled Disabled, Enabled, 00 to FF These fields are used to define special delimiter character(s) for data packing. Enable Delimiter 1 to control data packing with a single character; enable both Delimiter 1 and 2 to control data packing with two characters received in sequence. When these fields are enabled, serial data will accumulate in the serial ports buffer until the buffer is full or until the specified delimiter character(s) are received. 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 will be packed according to Delimiter process. Delimiters must be incorporated into the data stream at the software or device level. ATTENTION When Delimiter 1 is enabled, Packet length must be set to 0. 7-6 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Serial Port Settings Delimiter process Default Options Description Do Nothing Do Nothing, Delimiter + 1, Delimiter + 2, Strip Delimiter This field specifies how data is packed when delimiter characters are received. This field has no effect if Delimiter 1 is not enabled. Do nothing: Data accumulated in the serial ports buffer will be packed, including delimiters. Delimiter + 1: One additional character must be received before the data in the serial ports buffer is packed. Delimiter + 2: Two additional characters must be received before the data in the serial ports buffer is packed. Strip Delimiter: Data accumulated in the serial ports buffer will be packed, but the delimiter character(s) will be stripped from the data. Force transmit Default Options Description 0 ms 0 to 65535 This field controls data packing by the amount of time that elapses between bits of data. 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. 0: If serial data is not received, the NPort will wait indefinitely for additional data. 1 to 65535: If serial data is not received for the specified amount of time, the data that is currently in the buffer will be packed for network transmission. The optimal force transmit time depends on your application, but it must be at least larger than one character interval within the specified baudrate. 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 needed to send a character is 10 bits, and the time required to transfer one character is 8.3 ms, so the force transmit time to be larger than 8.3 ms. 7-7 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Serial Port Settings Settings for RFC2217 Mode When Operation Mode is set to RFC2217 on a serial ports Operation Modes page, you will be able to configure additional settings, including TCP alive check time, TCP port, Packet length, Delimiter 1, Delimiter 2, Delimiter process, and Force transmit. TCP alive check time Default Options Description 7 min 0 to 99 min This field specifies how long the NPort will wait for a response to keep alive packets before closing the TCP connection.

Packet length Default 0 Options 0 to 1024 Description This field specifies the maximum amount of data that is allowed to accumulate in the serial port buffer before sending. 0: Packet length is disregarded and data in the buffer will be sent as specified by the delimiter settings or when the buffer is full. 1 to 1024: Data in the buffer will be sent as soon it reaches the specified length. 7-16 NPort W2150A/W2250A Series Web Console: Serial Port Settings Delimiter 1 and 2 Default Options Description Disabled Disabled, Enabled, 00 to FF These fields are used to define special delimiter character(s) for data packing. Enable Delimiter 1 to control data packing with a single character; enable both Delimiter 1 and 2 to control data packing with two characters received in sequence. When these fields are enabled, serial data will accumulate in the serial ports buffer until the buffer is full or until the specified delimiter character(s) are received. 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 will be packed according to Delimiter process. Delimiters must be incorporated into the data stream at the software or device level. ATTENTION When Delimiter 1 is enabled, Packet length must be set to 0. Delimiter process Default Options Description Do Nothing Do Nothing, Delimiter + 1, Delimiter + 2, Strip Delimiter This field specifies how data is packed when delimiter characters are received.
