5.2. Data Link Layer (Transmission Protocol)
The data link layer transfers data between systems using a character-based protocol in accordance with
ASTM E 1381-02 “6. Data Link layer”.
This section briefly describes communication control procedures. For details, refer to ASTM E1381-02.
When the TCP/IP connection is intended to use, the TCP connection is established in prior to the
communication. To establish the TCP connection, the host computer acts as a server and the IPU acts
as a client. The IPU establishes a connection by requesting a connection for the IP address and the port
number that are provided by the host computer.

5.2.1. Communication status

The data link layer is consisted of following two states.
 Neutral Status
 Linked status

Transition to each status is accomplished through the following three phases.

(1) Establishment phase

Establishes communication line, and determines the direction of data transfer. In this way, the
sender and the receiver are identified, and the change is made from neutral status to linked status.

(2) Transfer phase

The sender transmits messages to the receiver until all messages are transferred.

(3) Termination phase

Releases the communication line. Changes both the sender and the receiver from linked status to
neutral status.

Establishment phase

Neutral status Linked status Transfer phase

11 / 53
5.2.2. Establishment phase
(1) The sender (IPU) sends an [ENQ] signal to the receiver (host computer). To respond to the sender,
the receiver performs the following action.
 Returns an [ACK] signal when the communication is enabled.
 Returns a [NAK] when the communication is disabled.

If the receiver responded [NAK], the sender waits for at least 10 seconds before attempting to send
another [ENQ] signal.

5.2.3. Transfer phase
During the transfer phase, the sender sends messages to the receiver. The transfer phase continues
until all messages have been sent.

(1) Messages are sent in each record with multiple frames. Each frame contains a maximum of 64,000
characters (including frame overhead) in the ASTM E1381-02 mode. If the record is longer than
63,993 characters, it is divided into two or more frames. The maximum number of characters in each
record is set to 240 characters in the ASTM E1381-95 mode.

(2) Multiple records cannot be included in a single frame.

(3) If the record contains the maximum number of characters or less, a frame with the following
structure will be transferred.

[STX] [F#] [Text] [ETX] [CHK1] [CHK2] [CR] [LF]

If the record is longer than the maximum number of characters, it is divided into two or more frames.
The intermediate frame text termination code is [ETB], and the final frame text termination code is
[ETX], as shown below.

[STX] [F#] [Text] [ETB] [CHK1] [CHK2] [CR] [LF]

[STX] [F#] [Text] [ETB] [CHK1] [CHK2] [CR] [LF]
……
[STX] [F#] [Text] [ETX] [CHK1] [CHK2] [CR] [LF]

Symbol Explanation
[STX] Start of a frame
[F#] Frame number
One of the numbers 0 to 7 is used, beginning with 1 and repeating
2,3,4,5,6,7,0.
In case of retransmission, the same frame number is sent.
[Text] ASTM E1394-97 records are used. (See the subsequent section “4.3
Presentation Layer”.)
For this reason, the codes below will not be used.
0x00-0x06,0x08,0x0A,0x0E-0x1F,0x7F,0xFF
[ETB] Control code indicating end of text (for intermediate frame)
[ETX] Control code indicating end of text (for the final frame)
[CHK1] [CHK2] Expressed by characters “0” - “9” and “A” - “F”.
Characters beginning from the character following [STX] and until
[ETB] or [ETX] (including [ETB] or [ETX]) are added in binary. The
2-digit numbers, which represent the least significant 8 bits in
hexadecimal code, are converted to ASCII characters “0” - “9” and “A” -
“F”. The most significant digit is stored in CHK1 and the least
significant digit in CHK2.
[CR] [LF] Control code indicating end of frame

(4) If the receiver has successfully received the frame, and is prepared to receive the next frame, the
receiver responds with [ACK]. After the sender receives [ACK], the sender advances the frame
number and either sends a new frame or transition to the termination phase.

(5) If the receiver fails to receive the frame and is prepared to receive the same frame again, the receiver
responds with [NAK]. After the sender receives [NAK], the sender sends the most recent frame again,
using the same frame number. If a total of 6 attempts to send the frame failed, the sender
transitions to the termination phase and must end sending of the message.

(6) The IPU processes the response of [EOT] from the Host computer as [ACK]. (Response of [EOT] from
the receiver is usually a request to suspend a transmission to the sender. However, the IPU does not
support this function.)

5.2.4. Termination phase

During the termination phase, the status returns to neutral.
The sender sends the [EOT] to inform the receiver that the message transmission has been completed.
When the sender sends [EOT], the sender transitions to neutral status. When the receiver receives
[EOT], the receiver transitions to neutral status.

5.2.5. Time out

The timer is used to detect a failure to coordinate between the sender and the receiver. The timer is
used as a mean of the recovery for communication line and communication destination device failure.

(1) During the establishment phase, the timer is set when the sender sends [ENQ]. The time out results
if a response of [ACK], [NAK] or [ENQ] is not received within 15 seconds. After time out, the sender
transitions to the termination phase.

(2) During transfer phase, the 15-second timer is set when the sender sends the final character of a
frame. Time out results if no response is received within 15 seconds. After time out, the sender
transitions to the termination phase.
The receiver sets a 30-second timer when first entering the transfer phase or when responding
(either [ACK] or [NAK]) to a frame. Time out results if the receiver does not receive a frame or [EOT]
from the sender within 30 seconds. After time out, the receiver discards the latest incomplete
message and transitions to the termination phase.

5.3. Presentation Layer

5.3.1. Messages, Record and Field

5.3.1.1.Messages
In the presentation layer, all data is transmitted using messages. Messages are composed of record
arrays that start with message header record (H) and end with message termination record (L).

5.3.1.2.Records
A record is a series of text, beginning with an ASCII alphabet characters referred to as the identifier,
and ending with [CR].
[CR] is not output at the end of the record if the setting of “Add a [CR] at the end of a record“ in [System
Settings]-[Host Computer]-[Detailed setting] is turned OFF. When IPU receives the record, it needs
[CR] at the end of the record regardless of this setting.

instrument setting. The dilution ratio can be specified with including 2-digit of decimal
number.
The dilution ratio in the CS-2000i/CS-2100i which differs from the ordered dilution ratio
by less than 0.01 percent is used for analysis.
Note: If the MDA is set in the “Default Dilution Ratio” in the “Basic” in the “Assay Group
Setup”, the MDA analysis is performed in disregard of the dilution ratio from the host
computer.
* If the unregistered dilution ratio in the CS-2000i/CS-2100i is ordered, the “Default
Dilution Ratio” in the “Basic” in the “Assay Group Setup” is used for analysis.

29 / 53
 Warning:
The setting of the dilution ratio may have a critical impact on analysis results.
Set the standard setting of the dilution ratio to 100 percent. If other than 100
percent is set to the dilution ratio, make sure that it is the correct value. The
instrument will accept a dilution ratio of 0%.

Note:
The redilution, re-analysis and reflex test are performed according to the
instrument setting even if the analysis is specified at the dilution ratio different
from the instrument setting. If the redilution, re-analysis and reflex test are not
performed, specify the option from the host computer.
Option: Sets the performance of the redilution, re-analysis and reflex test. More than 1 option can

000: There is no analysis parameter for the inquired sample.

999: There is no information on the inquired sample.
If there is no information for the inquired sample, host computer sends either the parameter code “999”.
or “000” Once IPU receives “999” from the host computer, IPU displays “There is no order in Host
Computer” (error code: 21009). Once IPU receives “000” sample is skipped without generating an error
code.
Then, the analysis of the sample is skipped. The rest of the analysis operation continues, and sample
inquiry re-starts from the next sample

“X” is replaced with a one-digit host ID defined in the Assay Parameter Definition in when transmitting
analysis results.

44 / 53
In the case of order inquiry, order information texts and the analysis data format of formula, “X” is
replaced with 0.
New analysis parameters may be added in the future. Please prepare a receive program that ignores the
data when receiving the codes other than the codes shown in the parameter code list .

Appendix. A TCP/IP communication

A.1 Software
1) Data link/ Network/ Transport layer
The IP address of the IPU for the CS-2000i/CS-2100i is fixed. The default value is 192.168.37.252. When
this value is to be changed, please contact a Sysmex technical representative.
The IP address for the host computer can be set using the setting screen in the IPU of
CS-2000i/CS-2100i. This IP address may be selected other than “192.168.37.*” that is used to
communicate with the IPU of the analyzer.
The TCP port number of the IPU of CS-2000i/CS-2100i for host communication is 5000. This value may
be changed in the IPU setting screen.

2) Session layer
To establish the TCP connection, the host computer acts as a server and the IPU acts as a client. The
IPU checks the communication on start-up. If the communication fails, the attempt to communicate is
performed at intervals. If the server is aborted after communication is established, reconnection is not
performed.
