4. Product Function

4.1. Network parameters

4.1.1.IP address type

The IP address is the identification of the module in the LAN, which is unique in the LAN. Therefore, it
cannot be duplicated with other devices in the same LAN. The IP address of the module can be obtained
by static IP and DHCP.
（1） Static IP: The static IP needs to be set manually by the user. In the process of setting, pay attention
to writing the IP, subnet mask and gateway at the same time. The static IP is suitable for the scenario
where the IP and device need to be counted and corresponding one by one.
Advantages: access to devices that cannot be assigned IP addresses can be searched through the
full-segment broadcast mode, which is convenient for unified management;
Disadvantages: Different intranet segments in different LANs lead to the failure of normal TCP/UDP
communication.
（2） Dynamic DHCP: DHCP is mainly used to dynamically obtain IP address, gateway address, DNS
server address and other information from the gateway host, thus eliminating the tedious steps of
setting IP address. It is applicable to scenarios where there is no requirement for IP and no
requirement for one-to-one correspondence between IP and modules.
Advantages: The access router and other devices with DHCP server can communicate directly,
reducing the trouble of setting IP address gateway and subnet mask.
Disadvantages: If the module is connected to a network without a DHCP server, for example, if it is
directly connected to 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,
indicate the number of subnets, and determine whether the module is in the subnet.
The subnet mask must be set. Our commonly used Class C subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the
network number is the first 24 digits, the host number is the last 8 digits, the number of subnets is 255,
and the module IP is within the range of 255, then the module IP is considered to be in the subnet.
Gateway refers to the network number of the network where the module's current IP address is
located. If the router and other devices are accessed when connecting to the external network, the

Copyright ©2012–2023，Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. NA111/NA111-A User Manual

gateway is the router.

4.1.2.Domain name resolution (DNS)

Domain name resolution converts the domain name into an IP address recognized by the network
through the domain name resolution (DNS) server. The domain name resolution (DNS) server address of
the serial port server supports user customization. It can achieve domain name resolution through the
customized domain name resolution server in case of domain name server exception. The device will
report the resolution request to the customized domain name resolution (DNS) server during domain
name resolution, and return the device connection parameters (generally IP address) after the resolution
is completed.
In DHCP mode, the domain name resolution (DNS) server address is automatically obtained
(synchronous router domain name resolution address) and cannot be modified.
In the static IP mode, the default address of the domain name resolution (DNS) server is
114.114.114.114.

4.1.3.Intranet access port

The default intranet access port is 80.

[Note] If the port number is modified, the port number should be added in the address input column.
For example, to modify the web page access port to 8080, you need to enter 192.168.3.7:8080 in the
address column to connect to the web page configuration.

4.2. Network operation mode

4.2.1.TCP server mode

TCP Server is a TCP server. In the TCP Server mode, the device listens to the local port, accepts the
connection request of the client and establishes a connection for data communication, which is usually
used for communication with TCP clients in the LAN.
When the Modbus gateway function is turned off, the device will send the data received by the serial
port to all the client devices that have established a connection with the device. At most, it can connect 6
clients. After the Modbus gateway function is enabled, the non-Modbus data will be cleared and will not be
forwarded.
Take NA111-M as an example, use the host computer for operation and configuration to establish a
connection.

Copyright ©2012–2023，Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. NA111/NA111-A User Manual

4.2.2.TCP client mode

TCP Client is the TCP client. When the device works, it will actively send 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 IP address/domain name and target port of the target
accurately.
Take NA111-M as an example, use the host computer for operation and configuration to establish a
connection.

4.2.3.UDP server mode

UDP Server means that the device does not verify the data source IP address when communicating
with UDP protocol. After receiving a UDP packet, it saves the source IP address and source port of the
packet and sets it as the target IP address and port. Therefore, the data sent by the device only sends the
data packet to the source IP address and port of the last time the device received the data.

Copyright ©2012–2023，Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. NA111/NA111-A User Manual

This mode is usually used in scenarios where multiple network devices communicate with this device,
and the frequency is high, and TCP Server cannot meet the conditions.
Using UDP Server requires remote UDP devices to send data first, otherwise 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.
Take NA111-M as an example, use the host computer for operation and configuration to establish a
connection.

4.2.4.UDP client mode

UDP Client is a connectionless transport protocol that provides simple and unreliable
transaction-oriented information transmission services. There is no connection establishment and
disconnection. You only need to configure the destination IP and destination port to send data to each
other. Usually used in data transmission scenarios where there is no requirement for packet loss rate, the
data packet is 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 device.
In this mode, the target address is set to 255.255.255.255, and the transmitted data will be broadcast
in the whole network segment, but the receiving and transmitting equipment needs to ensure the port
consistency, and the equipment can also receive the broadcast data.
Take NA111-M as an example, use the host computer for operation and configuration to establish a
connection.

4.2.5.HTTP client mode

This mode can realize the HTTP packet grouping function, and provides two modes: GET and POST.
The customer can configure parameters such as URL, Header, and send packets by the device (serial
port server) to realize the fast communication between the serial port device and the HTTP server. The
HTTP client mode is recommended to use the random port and open a short connection to save the
HTTP server resources.

1. GET

serial port parameters of the serial port connecting device can ensure the normal operation of the
communication.
Stop bit: range 1 and 2 can be set.

4.4. Advanced parameters

4.4.1.Disconnection and reconnection function

In the client mode, after the device is disconnected from the network, it tries 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 network from being unable to recover after

Copyright ©2012–2023，Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. NA111/NA111-A User Manual

the device is disconnected.

Disconnection and reconnection time: the time interval between each attempt of the device to
reestablish the network.
Reconnect times: the number of times the device attempts to reestablish the network. The cumulative
number of requests reaches the preset value. If the connection is not successful, the device will
automatically restart.
The actual time to restart is the period of disconnection and reconnection times. It is recommended to
use the factory default parameters if there is no special requirement.

4.4.2.Timeout restart function

The timeout restart function (default: 300 seconds) is supported. This function is mainly used to
ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment. If data transmission and reception are not
performed within the set timeout restart time, the equipment will restart to avoid the impact of abnormal
conditions on communication.
When the timeout restart function is turned on, the timeout restart time setting parameter range is
(60-65535) seconds.

4.4.3.Short connection function

In the client mode, the network short connection is supported (the function is turned off by default).
TCP short connection is mainly used to save server resource costs, and is generally used in multi-point
(multi-client) to one-point (server) scenarios.
The TCP short connection function is applied in the TCP Client mode. After the short connection
function is enabled, the device will only request to connect with the server when sending information. After
the connection is successful, the serial port does not receive data or the network port does not receive
data within the set time, and the device will automatically disconnect.
When the short connection function is turned on, the short connection time setting parameter range is
(2-255) seconds.

4.4.4.Connection emptying cache 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 cache area. The serial port receive cache is 1024 bytes, and the data
received earlier will be overwritten by more than 1024 bytes. After the network connection is successful,

Copyright ©2012–2023，Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. NA111/NA111-A User Manual

you can choose 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.
Disable: After the connection is established, the network will receive the data cached by the serial
port.

4.4.5.Heartbeat packet function

In the client mode, users can choose to send heartbeat packets and customize the heartbeat packet
time. The heartbeat packet can be selected from two modes: network heartbeat packet and serial
heartbeat packet. It supports sending in hexadecimal and ASCII code. This heartbeat packet is not MQTT
heartbeat. It needs to be turned off in MQTT client mode. MQTT heartbeat only needs to be configured in
"MQTT mode". It is recommended not to configure the heartbeat packet cycle time less than 60s. For
example, 120s is recommended in Alibaba Cloud manual.
Heartbeat packet sending mode:
（1） The default is to turn off heartbeat packet mode.
（2） Serial heartbeat packet ->The device sends heartbeat content to the serial bus according to
the set heartbeat interval.
（3） Network interface heartbeat packet ->The device sends heartbeat content to the network
interface bus according to the set heartbeat time interval.
Custom heartbeat packet content (up to 40 bytes (ASCII) data, 20 bytes (HEX) data).
Customize the heartbeat packet sending interval. If the setting value is greater than zero, the
heartbeat packet function will be turned on. When it is turned on, the range can be set: (1-65536) seconds,
and when it is turned off, it is 0.

4.4.6.Registration package function

In the client mode, users can choose to send the registration package, customize the time of the
registration package, and customize the content of the registration package (up to 40 bytes (ASCII) data,
20 bytes (HEX) data).
The registration package supports the following modes:
（1） Send MAC address when the network establishes a connection with the device
（2） Send the data of the custom registration package when the network establishes a connection
with the device

Copyright ©2012–2023，Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. NA111/NA111-A User Manual

（3） After the connection between the network and the device is established, each packet of data
sent by the device to the network is preceded by a MAC address
（4） After the connection between the network and the device is established, each packet of data
sent by the device to the network is preceded by the user-defined registration packet data

4.5. Modbus gateway

4.5.1.Simple protocol conversion mode

On: the Modbus RTU protocol and Modbus TCP protocol are converted to each other, and
non-Modbus data (RTU/TCP) is discarded without conversion.
Off: Modbus data is verified without protocol conversion, and non-Modbus data (RTU/TCP) is
discarded.

Simple protocol conversion can work in any mode (TCP client, TCP server, UDP client, UDP server,
MQTT client, HTTP client). No matter what mode it works in, there can only be one Modbus master
station.

4.5.2.Multi-host mode

The multi-host mode can handle up to 6 Modbus TCP hosts. When multiple Modbus hosts access the
Modbus gateway at the same time, the bus occupation scheduling will be carried out (RS-485 bus can
only process one request at a time, while the multi-host mode will sort and process according to the TCP
request sequence, and other links will wait), so as to solve the bus conflict problem (currently only
supports 6-host connection), and only supports working in the TCP server mode, The slave can only be
on the serial port, otherwise it cannot work normally.
It is recommended to configure it as "simple protocol conversion" when there is no multi-channel
host.

4.5.3.Storage gateway

The storage gateway not only arbitrates the bus data, but also stores the repeated read instructions.
When different hosts request the same data, the gateway does not need to query the register status of
RTU device many times, but directly returns the cached data in the storage area, which greatly improves
the multi-host request processing capability of the gateway, and also reduces the time consumed by the
entire request process. Users can customize the instruction polling interval and instruction storage time of
the storage area 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 on the network side.
characteristic:
（1） The gateway has a 5K cache for storing instructions and returned results (taking reading 10
holding registers as an example, 189 instructions and returned results can be stored);
（2） RTU response timeout automatically clears the cache to ensure the real-time and authenticity
of data;
（3） The polling interval can be customized, 0-65535ms;

Copyright ©2012–2023，Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.

Chengdu Ebyte Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. NA111/NA111-A User Manual

（4） The gateway will poll the RTU device according to the instruction storage time 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 and release the cache;
（5） The first command and control command (05, 06, 0F, 10 function code) will directly access
RTU equipment;
（6） Only 01, 02, 03 and 04 Modbus function code query results can be stored;

4.5.4.Configurable gateway

The gateway automatically polls the RTU device register according to the preconfigured MODBUS
instruction (only supports the configuration of MODBUS read instruction), and the instruction in the
non-storage table will directly operate the RTU device. The frequently read instructions can be stored in
the gateway in advance to shorten the response time (query the configured instructions). Because of the
above characteristics, the serial port side of the configurable gateway can only connect to the Modbus
slave station.

[Note]:
Do not use multiple upper computers in the same LAN environment. The industrial control computer
with multiple network cards should be temporarily disabled without using network cards, otherwise the
upper computer will be abnormal (the same device will display multiple times, and the device cannot be
found)
The upper computer shields the wireless network card, so the upper computer must be connected to
the network cable. The wireless network card can be configured through the web page.

4.6.5.Random native port

TCP client, UDP client, HTTP client and MQTT client can configure the local port to 0 (use random
local port). The server mode cannot use random port, otherwise the client cannot establish a connection
correctly.
Using random port connection can quickly re-establish the connection when the device accidentally
disconnects the server, to prevent the server from refusing the connection due to four incomplete waves.
It is recommended to use random port in client mode.
The device will automatically enable random ports when configuring TCP client, HTTP client and
MQTT client modes.
