2.1. Basic Functions

2.1.1. Static IP/DHCP

There are two ways for module to get IP address: Static IP and DHCP.

Static IP: Default setting of module is Static IP and default IP is 192.168.0.7. When user configures module in Static
IP mode, user need set IP, subnet mask and gateway and must pay attention to the relation among IP, subnet mask
and gateway.

DHCP: Module in DHCP mode can dynamically get IP, Gateway, and DNS server address from Gateway Host. When
user connects 410s directly to PC, module can’t be set in DHCP mode. Because common computer does not have
the ability to assign IP addresses.

 USR-TCP232-410s User Manual Technical Support: h.usriot.com

2.1.2. Reset to default settings

Hardware: Power off the 410s and press Reload button, then power on the 410s and keep pressing Reload button
over 5 seconds can reset to default settings.

Software: User can also reset to default settings through setup software for 410s.

AT command: User can send AT+RELD to reset to default settings.

2.2. Socket functions

410s supports dual sockets mode. Socket A supports TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP Server, UDP Client and HTTP
Client. Socket B supports TCP Client and UDP Client.

2.2.1. TCP Client

Figure 6 TCP Client

TCP Client provides Client connections for TCP network services. TCP Client device will connect to server to
realize data transmission between the serial port device and server. According to the TCP protocol, TCP Client has
connection/disconnection status differences to ensure reliable data transmission.

TCP Client mode supports Keep-Alive function: After establishing connection, 410s will send Keep-Alive package
in every 15 second to check TCP connection and 410s will disconnect and reconnect to server if any connection
exception occurs. TCP Client mode also supports baud rate synchronization, USR Cloud and Modbus gateway.

410s works in TCP Client mode needs connect to TCP Server and needs set the parameter: Remote IP/Port. 410s
works in TCP Client won’t accept other connection request except target server and will access server with
random local port if configuring local port to 0.

2.2.2. TCP Server

Jinan USR IOT Technology Limited 7 www.usriot.com

 USR-TCP232-410s User Manual Technical Support: h.usriot.com

Figure 7 TCP Server

410s works in TCP Server mode will listen network connections and build network connections, commonly be
used for communication with TCP clients on a LAN. According to the TCP protocol, TCP Server has
connection/disconnection status differences to ensure reliable data transmission.

410s works in TCP Server mode will listen local port which user set and build connection after receiving
connection request. Serial data will be sent to all TCP Client devices connected to 410s in TCP Server mode
simultaneously.

410s works in TCP Server mode supports 8 client connections at most. 410s also supports Keep-Alive function,
baud rate synchronization and Modbus gateway.

2.2.3. UDP Client

Figure 8 UDP Client

UDP transport protocol provides simple and unreliable communication services. No connection connected
/disconnected. User only needs to configure Remote IP/Port then can realize data transmission.

Jinan USR IOT Technology Limited 8 www.usriot.com

 USR-TCP232-410s User Manual Technical Support: h.usriot.com
In UDP Client mode, 410s will only communicate with Remote IP/Port. If data don’t from Remote IP/Port, it won’t
be received by 410s.

In UDP Client mode, if user configure Remote IP to 255.255.255.255, 410s can achieve UDP broadcast to all
network segment and receive broadcast data. User can also configure Remote IP to xxx.xxx.xxx.255 to realize UDP
broadcast in same network segment.

2.2.4. UDP Server

Figure 9 UDP Server

In UDP Server mode, 410s will change Remote IP every time after receiving UDP data from a new IP/Port and will
send data to latest communication IP/Port.

2.2.5. HTTP Client

In HTTP Client mode, 410s can achieve data transmission between serial port device and HTTP server. User just
needs to configure 410s in HTTP Client and configure the HTTP header, URL and some other related parameters,
then can achieve data transmission between serial port device and HTTP server and don’t need care about the
HTTP format of data.

2.3.2. VCOM Application

Figure 14 VCOM application

User can download VCOM software from:
https://www.usriot.com/support/downloads/usr-vcom-virtual-serial-software.html.

Through this software user can set up connection between 410s and virtual serial to solve the problem that
traditional equipment PC software used in serial port communication way.

2.3.3. Flow Control

410s supports hardware flow control way ( RTS/CTS, only take effect in RS232 mode ) and software flow control
way Xon/Xoff.

2.3.4. Serial package methods

For network speed is faster than serial. Module will put serial data in buffer before sending it to network. The data
will be sent to network side as data package. There are 2 ways to end the package and send package to network
side - Time Trigger Mode and Length Trigger Mode.

⚫ 410s serial package time: Default is 4 bytes sending time, range from 0 to 255.
⚫ 410s serial package length: Default is 1460 bytes, range from 0 to 1460.

2.3.5. Baud rate synchronization

When module works with USR devices or software, serial parameters will change dynamically according to
network protocol. User can modify serial parameters by sending data conformed to specific protocol via network.
It is temporary, after restarting DTU, the parameters will back to original parameters.

2.4. Features

2.4.1. Identity packet function

Figure 15 Identity Packet application diagram

Identity packet is used for identifying the device when 410s works as TCP client/UDP client. There are two
methods to send identity packet.
⚫ Identity packet will be sent after connection is established.
⚫ Identity packet will be added on the front of every data package.

Identity packet can be MAC address or user editable identity packet. User editable identity packet should less than
40 bytes.

2.4.2. Heartbeat packet function

Heartbeat packet: 410s will output heartbeat packet to serial side or network side periodic. User can configure
the heartbeat packet data and sending interval. Serial heartbeat packet can be used for polling Modbus data.
Network heartbeat packet can be used for showing connection status and keeping the connection (only take effect
in TCP/UDP Client mode).

2.4.3. Non-persistent connection

410s support non-persistent connection function in TCP Client mode. When 410s adopts this function, 410s will
connect to server and send data after receiving data from serial port side and will disconnect to server after
sending all the data to server and no data from serial port side over 3s.

2.4.4. Modbus gateway

Modbus gateway includes: Modbus RTU transparent transmission, Modbus ASCII transparent transmission,
Modbus RTU<=>Modbus TCP protocol conversion, Modbus polling and serial port query.

Modbus RTU<=>Modbus TCP: Set 410s in TCP Server or TCP Client mode, then user can set 410s with Modbus
