Functional Introduction

Serial port parameters
The basic parameters of the serial port include baud rate, data bits, stop bits, and parity bits. Baud rate: serial communication rate, configurable 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400bps.
Data Bits: The length of the data bits, the range is 5, 6, 7, 8. Stop bit: range 1, 2 can be set.
Check digit: The check digit of data communication, supports five check modes: None, Odd, Even, Mark, Space.
Flow Control: Does not support.

Introduction to basic functions

Web page configuration
The device has a built-in web server, which is convenient for users to set and query parameters through web pages.
The port of the web server can be customized (2-65535), default: 80 Operation method (Microsoft Edge version 94.0.992.50 is an example, it is recommended to use Google kernel browser, IE kernel browser is not supported):

1. Step 1 : Open the browser, enter the IP address of the device in the address bar, for example 192.168.3.7 (the IP address and the computer need to keep the same network segment), if you forget the IP of the machine, you can query it through AT commands and configuration software
2. Step 2: The webpage pops up the main interface, and you can query and set relevant parameters;
3. Step 3: Click Submit to save the configuration parameters after entering the correct key. The factory default key is: 123456;
4. Step 4: The progress bar indicates the configuration progress. Do not refresh the web page again after the configuration is completed (refresh the web page to enter the configuration mode again, you can restart the device or submit it again to enter the communication mode);

It can also be opened through the Open Web Configuration button of the configuration software.
[Note] If the port number is modified, the port number should be added to the address input field. For example, if you modify the web page access port to 8080, you need to enter 192.168.3.7:8080 in the address bar to connect to the web page configuration.

Subnet mask/IP address
The IP address is the identification of the module in the local area network and is unique in the local area network. Therefore, it cannot be duplicated with other devices on the same local area network. There are two ways to obtain the IP address of the module, static IP and DHCP.

1. Static IP: Static IP needs to be set manually by the user. In the process of setting, pay attention to writing IP, subnet mask and gateway at the same time. Static IP is suitable for scenarios where IP and device statistics are required and one-to-one correspondence is required.
   • Advantages: Access to devices that cannot be assigned IP addresses can be searched through the broadcast mode of the entire network segment, which is convenient for unified management;
2. Disadvantages: Different network segments in different LANs, resulting in normal TCP/UDP communication.(2) Dynamic DHCP: The main function of DHCP is to dynamically obtain the IP address, gateway address,

DNS server address and other information from the gateway host, thereby eliminating the tedious steps of setting the IP address. It is suitable for scenarios where there is no requirement for IP, and there is no mandatory one- to-one correspondence between IP and modules. Advantages: devices with DHCP Server such as access routers can communicate directly, reducing the trouble of setting IP address gateway and subnet mask. Disadvantage: Connecting to a network without DHCP Server, such as direct connection with a computer, the module will not work properly. The subnet mask is mainly used to determine the network number and host number of the IP address, to indicate the number of subnets, and to determine whether the module is in the subnet. The subnet mask must be set. Our commonly used class C subnet mask: 255.255.255.0, the network number is the first 24 bits, the host number is the last 8 bits, the number of subnets is 255, and the module IP is in the range of 255 within this subnet, the module IP is considered to be in this subnet. Gateway refers to the network number of the network where the current IP address of the module is located. If a device such as a router is connected to the external network, the gateway is the router

Domain Name Resolution (DNS)
Domain name resolution translates domain names into network-recognized IP addresses through Domain Name Resolution (DNS) servers. The domain name resolution (DNS) server address of the serial port server supports user definition, and can realize domain name resolution through a custom domain name resolution server in the event of an abnormal domain name server. The device will report the resolution to the custom domain name resolution (DNS) server during domain name resolution. Request, return the device connection parameters (usually the IP address) after the parsing is completed.
In DHCP mode, the domain name resolution (DNS) server address is automatically obtained (synchronized with the router’s domain name resolution address) and cannot be modified. In static IP mode, the factory default address of the Domain Name Resolution (DNS) server is 114.114.114.114.
Restore factory settings
Press and hold the Reload pin of the device until the LED indicator lights up to release the key.

Socket function

TCP server mode
TCP Server is the TCP server. In TCP Server mode, the device listens to the local port, accepts the client’s connection request and establishes a connection for data communication. When the Modbus gateway function is turned off, the device sends the data received by the serial port to all client devices that establish connections with the device, and supports connecting up to 6 clients. After the Modbus gateway function is enabled, the non-Modbus data will be cleared and not forwarded. Typically used for communication with TCP clients within a local area network.
TCP Client Mode
TCP Client is the TCP client. When the device is working, it will actively initiate a connection request to the server and establish a connection to realize the interaction between serial port data and server data. To use the client, you need to configure the target IP address/domain name and target port accurately.
UDP Server Mode
UDP Server means that the device does not verify the IP address of the data source when communicating with the UDP protocol. After receiving a UDP data packet, it saves the source IP address and source port of the data packet, and sets it as the destination IP and port, so The data sent by the device only sends data packets to the source IP address and port where the device received data last time. This mode is usually used in scenarios where multiple network devices communicate with this device, and the frequency is high, and the TCP Server cannot meet the conditions. Using UDP Server requires the remote UDP device to send data first, otherwise the data cannot be sent normally.
[Note] In UDP mode, the data sent by the network to the device should be less than 512Bit per packet, otherwise, it will cause data loss
UDP Client Mode
UDP Client is a connectionless transmission protocol that provides transaction-oriented simple and unreliable information transmission services. There is no connection establishment and disconnection, and data can be sent to the other party only by configuring the destination IP and destination port. It is usually used in data transmission scenarios where there is no requirement for the packet loss rate, the data packets are small and the transmission frequency is fast, and the data is to be transmitted to the specified IP. In UDP Client mode, the device will only communicate with the configured (target IP and target port) remote UDP devices.
In this mode, the target address is set to 255.255.255.255, and the sent data will be broadcast on the entire network segment, but the transceiver device needs to ensure that the ports are consistent, and the device can also receive broadcast data.
HTTP Client Mode
This mode can realize the function of HTTP grouping. It provides two modes: GET and POST. Customers can configure URL, Header and other parameters by themselves, and the device (serial port server) will send packets to realize fast communication between the serial port device and the HTTP server. In HTTP client mode, it is recommended to use random ports and enable short connections to save HTTP server resources.

Configure the local network parameters and the HTTP server address and port(You are advised to enable DHCP and random ports), As shown in the figure below(Above is the upper computer, below is the web page):

MQTT Client mode
The serial port server supports quick access to standard MQTT3.1.1 protocol servers (OneNET, Baidu Cloud, Huawei Cloud, user-built and other server types) and Alibaba Cloud servers, supports service quality level configuration (QoS 0, QoS 1), and supports super long text Configuration, convenient and better access to network service operators (server address, three elements, subscription and publishing addresses support up to 128 characters of configuration).

Alibaba Cloud
Alibaba Cloud Supports the use of Alibaba Cloud’s “Three Elements” to directly connect to the server to obtain the “Three Elements” required to connect to Alibaba Cloud, as shown in the figure(The following parameters are only examples):

Select the corresponding product, go to “Custom Topic” under the Topic class list (for details, please refer to the Alibaba Cloud documentation), click “Define Topic Class”, set the name to 1234, and grant publish and subscribe permissions (for data return pass). Configure the device connection parameters, as shown in the following figure:

• “ProductKey”: “a1GlhuTU1yN”,
• “DeviceName”: “DEV04”,
• “DeviceSecret”: “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”

Alibaba Cloud server address: ProductKey.iot-as-mqtt.cn- shanghai.aliyuncs.com:1883 Topic for subscription and publication: /a1GlhuTU1yN/DEV04/user/1234

Advanced Features

Random native port
TCP client, UDP client, HTTP client, MQTT client can configure the local port to 0 (use random local port), and server mode cannot use random port, otherwise the client cannot establish a connection correctly. Using a random port connection can quickly re-establish the connection when the device disconnects the server unexpectedly, preventing the server from rejecting the connection due to four waves of incompleteness. It is recommended to use a random port in client mode .
The device will automatically enable random ports when configuring the TCP client, HTTP client, and MQTT client modes.
Heartbeat Packet Function
In client mode, users can choose to send heartbeat packets and set the time of heartbeat packets by themselves. The heartbeat packet can be selected in two modes: network heartbeat packet and serial port heartbeat packet. It supports hexadecimal and ASCII transmission. This heartbeat packet is not MQTT heartbeat and needs to be turned off in MQTT client mode. MQTT heartbeat only needs to configure KeepAlive in “MQTT function settings” Time, it is recommended not to configure less than 60s, for example, 120s is recommended in the Alibaba Cloud manual.Heartbeat packet sending mode:

1. The default is to turn off the heartbeat packet mode.
2. Serial port mode -> The device sends heartbeat content to the serial bus according to the set heartbeat interval.
3. Network port mode -> The device sends heartbeat content to the network port bus according to the set heartbeat interval. Customize heartbeat packet content (maximum support 40 bytes (ASCII) data, 20 bytes (HEX) data) Customize the interval for sending heartbeat packets. When it is set to 0, the heartbeat packet function is turned off. If the setting value is greater than zero, the heartbeat packet function is turned on. When it is turned on, the range can be set: (1-65536) seconds.

Registration package function
In the client mode, the user can choose to send the registration package, and set the registration package time by definition.The registration package supports the following modes:

1. The MAC address (OLMAC) is sent when the network establishes a connection with the device
2. The data of the custom registration package sent when the network establishes a connection with thedevice (OLCSTM)
3. After the network and the device are connected, each packet of data sent by the device to the network is preceded by a MAC address (EMBMAC)
4. After the network and the device are connected, each packet of data sent by the device to the network is prepended with custom registration packet data (EMBCSTM)Custom registration package content (maximum support 40 bytes (ASCII) data, 20 bytes (HEX) data)

Short connection function
In client mode, short network connection is supported (this function is disabled by default). TCP short connection is mainly used to save server resource overhead, and is generally used in multi-point (multi-client)-to- point (server) scenarios. In client mode, short network connection is supported (this function is disabled by default). TCP short connection is mainly used to save server resource overhead, and is generally used in multi- point (multi-client)-to-point (server) scenarios. When the short link hold time is set to 0, the short link function is turned off. When the setting range is (2-255) seconds, the short connection function is enabled, and the default hold time is 0 seconds (disabled).
Timeout restart function
Supports the timeout restart function (default: 300 seconds), which is mainly used to ensure the long-term stable operation of the device. If data is not sent and received within the set timeout restart time, the device will restart to avoid the impact of abnormal conditions on communication. The parameter range of timeout restart time is (60-65535) seconds. If it is set to 0, it means shutdown timeout restart. The default is 300 seconds.
Cache cleaning function
The device is in the client mode. When the TCP connection is not established, the data received by the serial port will be placed in the buffer area. The serial port receiving buffer is 1024 bytes, and the data larger than 1024 bytes will cover the earliest received data. After the network connection is successful, you can Select to clear the serial port cache or send the cache through the network through configuration.Enable: The device does not save the data received by the serial port before the connection is established. Disabled: After the connection is established, the network will receive the serial buffered data.
Network disconnection and reconnection
In client mode, after the device is disconnected from the network, it will try to actively connect to the server at the specified time. If the request times out and the set number of reconnections has not been successfully reconnected, the device will restart to prevent the device from disconnecting from the network. Unable to restore connection. Disconnection and reconnection time: The time interval between each attempt of the device to re-establish the network. Number of reconnections: The number of times the device tries to re- establish the network, and the cumulative number of requests reaches the preset value. If the connection is not successful, the device will automatically restart. The actual restart time is the network disconnection reconnection period multiplied by the number of reconnections. It is recommended to use the factory default parameters without special requirements.
Remote upgrade
In order to facilitate later maintenance and upgrade functions and to replace different firmware, the serial server (NA11x series, NB114, NS1, NT1, etc.) supports online upgrade, and users can upgrade or replace the current firmware through the upgrade firmware provided by our company through the host computer.
Network upgrade firmware operation steps:

1. Step 1: Open the host computer, open the device upgrade assistant in the menu bar, and select the required firmware (The official website only provides the latest firmware, please refer to “Firmware Instructions” for details);
2. Step 2: Click to search for devices, and click to stop searching after finding the device;
3. Step 3: Select the corresponding device that needs to be upgraded;
4. Step 4: Click to start the upgrade, the device indicator flashes, and wait for the upgrade to complete.
   [Note] When the device is just powered on, click “Search Device” in the upgrade assistant, the device will enter the firmware burning state, and it will return to normal mode after power off and restart.

Modbus Gateway

Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP protocol conversion

Enable(Check): Convert Modbus RTU protocol to Modbus TCP protocol.
Disabled: Do not perform protocol conversion but verify Modbus data, discard non-Modbus data (RTU/TCP) and not transmit.
Simple Protocol Conversion Mode
Convert Modbus RTU data to Modbus TCP data, or convert Modbus TCP data to Modbus RTU data, to realize the mutual conversion of Ethernet Modbus data and serial port Modbus data. Simple protocol conversion can work in any mode (TCP client, TCP server, UDP client, UDP server etc.), no matter what mode it is working in, there can only be one Modbus master station. Simple protocol conversion configuration (TCP server mode as an example, the upper computer on the left, web page on the right).

Multi-host mode
There is only one Modbus master station for relatively simple protocol conversion, while the multi-master mode can handle up to 6 Modbus TCP masters. One request is processed at a time, while the multi-host mode will be sequenced according to the TCP request, and other links will wait) to solve the bus conflict problem (currently only 6 host connections are supported), only supports working in TCP server mode, slave machine Only in the serial port, otherwise, it will not work properly.It is recommended to configure “Simple Protocol Conversion” when no multi-channel host is used. Multi-host mode configuration (upper computer, web page below) :

Storage Gateway
The storage gateway not only arbitrates the bus data but also stores the repeated read commands. When different hosts request the same data, the gateway does not need to query the register status of the RTU device multiple times, but directly returns the data cached in the storage area. To a certain extent, the multi-host request processing capability of the gateway is improved, and the time consumed by the entire request process is also shortened. Users can customize the storage area command polling interval and command storage time according to their needs. As the optimization of multi- host request performance, the storage gateway can only work in the TCP server mode, which improves the response speed of the network side.
Features:

1. The gateway has a 5K cache for storing instructions and returning results (reading 10 holding registers an example, it can store 189 instructions and return results);
2. The RTU response time-out automatically clears the cache to ensure the real-time and authenticity of the
3. The polling interval can be customized, 0-65535ms;
4. The gateway will poll the RTU device according to the storage time of the instruction used for configuration. If the MODBUS host does not query the instruction again during the storage time, the gateway will automatically delete the storage instruction to release the cache;
5. The first command and control command (05, 06, 0F, 10 function codes) will directly access the RTU device;
6. Only 01, 02, 03, 04 Modbus function code query result storage is supported; Storage gateway configuration (upper computer, web page) :

Configurable Gateway
The gateway automatically polls the RTU device registers according to the pre- configured MODBUS commands (only supports the configuration of the MODBUS read command), and the commands in the non-storage table will directly operate the RTU device. Frequently read commands can be stored in the gateway in advance, which can shorten the response time (query configured commands). Due to the above features, the serial port side of the configurable gateway can only be connected to Modbus slaves.![4.5.5 Configurable Gateway

The gateway automatically polls the RTU device registers according to the pre- configured MODBUS commands (only supports the configuration of the MODBUS read command), and the commands in the non-storage table will directly operate the RTU device. Frequently read commands can be stored in the gateway in advance, which can shorten the response time (query configured commands). Due to the above features, the serial port side of the configurable gateway can only be connected to Modbus slaves.](https://manuals.plus/wp- content/uploads/2023/05/EBYTE-NA111-A-Serial-Ethernet-Serial-Server-FIG-32.jpg )
