NL110 NTCIP Interface

2.3.1  Ver

Ver returns version information about the NL110.  The ROM number, OS
version, Ethernet physical address, and some diagnostic statistics are displayed.
Version information may be requested by a Campbell Scientific Applications
Engineer when troubleshooting a communication problem.

The Ethernet physical address that is displayed is a hexadecimal
representation of the address assigned to this device.  An
Ethernet address is unique to the specific device to which it is
assigned.  This assignment is made at the factory and cannot be
changed by the user.  The Ethernet physical address is not the
same as the TCP/IP address.

2.3.2  Show

The Show command displays the current settings for the NL110 ports, the user
password, and watchdog time-out.

2.3.3  Edit

The Edit menu option is used to set up the communications link for the NL110.

You can progress through the menu options by pressing <Enter>.  If you make
a mistake after entering a setting, press the up cursor arrow on your keyboard to
return to the previous setting.  All available selections will be listed on the
prompt line enclosed in parenthesis, with the current setting displayed in
brackets at the end of the selections (e.g., [disabled]).  Help for a setting can be
displayed by pressing F1 or the ? key.

Once changes have been made and you have come to the end of the prompts for
the communication options, you can choose "save" to put the new settings into
effect or "cancel" to disregard the changes and keep the current settings.

2.3.3.1  TLink Config

TLink config (TcpSer, 232-Bridge, RS-232, disabled) [RS-232]:

TLink is an interface used to communicate with a datalogger over an Ethernet
connection

TcpSer - The NL110 acts as a serial server for the Ethernet port.  A serial
server is a device that allows serial communication over a TCP/IP
communications link.

232-Bridge - The NL110 transparently passes data between the Ethernet port
and the RS-232 port.  The 232-Bridge configuration has only one setting,
RS-232 bps.  This is the bits per second (bps) at which the NL110 will
communicate with the device connected to the RS-232 port.  This is a fixed rate
(i.e., it is not a maximum baud rate or an autobaud rate).  The default is 115K
bps.
