9. 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 unicast or multicast of data to only one IP or groups of IP addresses Real COM Mode NPort 1A5450A comes equipped with COM drivers that work with Windows 95 98 ME NT 2000 XP 2003 Vista 2008 7 XP Real COM Mode COM3 IP Port T Ea SS x64 2003 x64 Vista x64 2008 x64 7 x64 systems and also TTY drivers for Linux or Unix systems The driver establishes a transparent connection between host and serial device by mapping the IP Port of the NPort a q Ethernet D i A5450A s serial port to a local COM TTY port on the host computer Real COM Mode also supports up to 8 Driver Mode Ak RS 232 422 485 i Device simultaneous connections so that multiple hosts can collect data from the same serial device at the same time ATTENTI ON The driver used for Real COM Mode comes with the NPort Administrator The driver is installed automatically on your computer when you install NPort Administration Suite One of the major conveniences of using Real COM Mode is that Real COM Mode allows users to continue using RS 232 422 485 serial communications software that was written for pure serial communications applications The driver intercepts data sent to

Port Administration Suite and how to use this suite of useful utilities to set up IP addresses and configure your NPort I A5450A Series serial device servers ARP You can make use of the ARP Address Resolution Protocol command to set up an IP address for your NPort A5450A The ARP command tells your computer to associate the NPort 1A5450A s MAC address with the intended IP address You must then use Telnet to access the NPort 1A5450A at which point the device server s IP address will be reconfigured ATTENTION In order to use this setup method both your computer and NPort 1 A5450A must be connected to the same LAN Or you may use a cross over Ethernet cable to connect the NPort 1A5450A directly to your computer s Ethernet card Before executing the ARP command your NPort 1A5450A must be configured with the factory default IP address 192 168 127 254 and your computer and the NPort 1A5450A must be on the same subnet 3 2 NPort I A5450A Series Initial IP Address Configuration Take the following steps to use ARP to configure the IP address Obtain a valid IP address for your NPort A5450A from your network administrator Obtain the NPort 1A5450A s MAC address from the label on its bottom panel Execute the arp s command from your computer s MS DOS prompt by typing arp s 192 168 200 100 00 90 E8 xx xx xx This is where 192 168 200 100 is the new IP address and 00 90 E8 xx xx xx is the MAC address for your NPort A5450A
