COM ports that are “In use” or “Assigned” will also be indicated in this drop-down list. If you
select multiple serial ports or multiple NPort 5100s, remember to check the “Auto

Hi-performance
mode is the default for Tx mode. If the driver completes sending data out to
the NPort 5100, the driver will respond “Tx Empty” to the program.
Under
classical mode
, the driver will not notify the user’s program that Tx is completed until
all Tx data has been sent out from the NPort 5100; this mode will cause lower throughput. If
you want to ensure that all data is sent out before further processing, classical mode is
recommended.
Enable/Disable Tx/Rx FIFO
. If disabled, the NPort 5100 will send one byte each time the Tx
FIFO becomes empty; and an Rx interrupt will be generated for each incoming byte. This will
result in a faster response and lower throughput. If you want to use XON/XOFF flow control,
we recommend setting FIFO to Disable.
Fast Flush (only flush local buffer)
•
We have added one optional Fast Flush function to Moxa’s new NPort Real COM driver.
NPort Administrator Suite for 2G NPort
adds it after version 1.2.
•

before it reads or writes data. With our design, after the program uses this Purge Comm()
