MAC Address
The MAC address is not adjustable. This is assigned in the factory. Every Ethernet device
manufactured has it own unique MAC address.
Version & Date
The currently loaded version of the firmware, and when it was released, are shown here.
Link Status
Link status automatically displays the type of Ethernet connection. It will either display 10 BaseT
or 100BaseTX in full duplex or half duplex. This will depend on the LAN, switches, hubs used in
the LAN topology.
Server Serial Port
This field indicates the number of the port for with serial server properties are currently being
displayed. Changing the number in this field will cause all the other fields to display the
properties for the specified port. Note, however, that before changing ports, any change to
properties must be updated (Saved) or the serial server will not retain them.
Baud Rate
The serial port baud rate on the TRP-C32S must match the serial baud rate of the connected
device unless using Virtual COM mode. In Virtual COM mode the software program will establish
serial settings.
Data/Parity/Stop
This setting will have to match the data format of the connected device unless using Virtual COM
mode. In Virtual COM mode the software program will establish serial settings.
Flow Control
The flow control setting must match the connected serial device unless using Virtual COM mode.
In Virtual COM mode the software program will establish serial settings.
Protocol
Select TCP or UDP protocol. If the application does not require a UDP connection, select TCP.
TCP guarantees reliable communication with error checking whereas UDP provides faster
transmission.
When UDP mode is chosen the
Serial timeout
,
TCP alive timeout
,
Connection mode

,
Maximum connection
and
Remote IP address
fields are replaced with the following three
fields
: Destination IP address range
,
Port number
and
Source IP address range
. In this mode the
server can be configured to broadcast data to and receive data from multiple IP addresses. Four
IP address range fields are provided.
