<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 />
