<strong>NPort</strong> <strong>5110</strong> Series User’s <strong>Manual</strong> IP Serial LIB<br />

Overview<br />

What is IP Serial Library?<br />

IP Serial Library is a Windows library with frequently used serial command sets and subroutines.<br />

IP Serial Library is designed to reduce the complexity and poor efficiency of serial communication<br />

over TCP/IP. For example, Telnet can only transfer data, but it can’t monitor or configure the<br />

serial line’s parameters.<br />

Why Use IP Serial Library?<br />

For programmers who are familiar with serial communication, IP Serial Library provides<br />

well-designed function calls that have the same style as <strong>Moxa</strong>’s PComm Library.<br />

IP Serial Library is amazingly simple and easy to understand. By including it in your VB, C, or<br />

Delphi programming environment, you can program your own TCP/IP application with the ability<br />

to control serial communication parameters.<br />

<strong>NPort</strong> <strong>5110</strong> uses 2 TCP ports for communication between the <strong>NPort</strong> <strong>5110</strong> and host computer’s<br />

Real COM driver. <strong>NPort</strong> <strong>5110</strong> uses a data port and command port to provide pure data transfer<br />

without decode and encode. Compared to using only one TCP port to control serial<br />

communication (such as RFC 2217), IP Serial Library uses a command port to communicate with<br />

<strong>NPort</strong> <strong>5110</strong> from the user’s program. IP Serial Library not only runs with excellent efficiency but<br />

also runs without any decode or encode problems.<br />

How to install IP Serial Library<br />

IP Serial Lib comes with the <strong>NPort</strong> <strong>5110</strong> Administration Suite. Refer to the IPSerial directory for<br />

more details about the function definitions.<br />
