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 be used, 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 consists of the 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 the communication status both the sender and the receiver
from linked status to neutral status.
Establishment phase
Neutral status Linked status Transfer phase
Termination phase
13/74
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 response [NAK], the sender waits for at least 10 seconds before attempting to send
another [ENQ] signal.

(2) When both the sender and receiver send [ENQ] signals, the host computer must yield control
authority to the IPU.
 The IPU sends [ENQ] again after 1 second.
 The host computer must wait for 20 seconds before sending [ENQ] again.

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 “5.3
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 (with
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.

The sequence number starts with 1 and indicates the sequence position in which the record appeared in
the message. The number is reset to 1 when a higher-level record appears in the message.
2) 12.1.3 Starting Range ID No.

Rack No.: Assigned to the rack. STAT table, reagent table are described as below.
Normal sample: Consists of 6-digit alpha-numeric (The rack number will be
fixed 6-digit number by aligning to the right and padding zero’s to the most
significant digits if the number is less than 6-digit.)
STAT sample: Describes with STATΔΔ (Δ indicates a space character.)
Reagent table: Describes with REAG00
LAS sample: Describes with LXXXXX.. (X indicates a numeric character. The
rack number will be fixed 6-digit number by aligning to the right and padding
zeros to the most significant digits if the number is less than 6 digits.
(*) If the rack barcode is duplicated, together with a reading error, the IPU is to conduct
automatic numbering as follows:
“R” + “Time 2 digits” + “Serial number 2 digits” + “*”
Tube Position : The sample rack position number within a rack, with consisting of 2-digit
number.
Normal sample: 01 - 10
STAT sample: 01- 05
Reagent table: ΔΔ (Δ indicates a space character.)
LAS sample: Fixed to 01.
Sample ID number: Consists of 15-digit of alpha-numeric. Depends on the direction for use, the
hyphen “-“(2DH) can be inserted between characters. “-“is included in
15-digit number. The zero suppression function is not performed. If the
number is less than 15-digit, it is aligned to the right and spaces (020H) are
padded to the most significant digit. If the sample barcode can not be read,
the sample ID number beginning with "□□ERR0000000001" or
"ERR000000000001” is sequentially assigned to the sample number. (The
symbol “□□” indicates a space character.) The sample number beginning with
“QC” is reserved to use for the QC analysis.
Note: In the System Settings screen, Sample No. in Barcode Reading Error is
selectable from 13-digit ("□□ERR0000000001") or 15-digit ("ERR000000000001")
to output. (The symbol “□□” indicates a space character.)
Sample ID No. attribute: M Sample ID No. is manually entered through the touch panel or the IPU
keyboard.
A Analyzer automatically assigned number. This number is assigned by the
automatic-increment function, and is used to set the sample number
that begins with "ERR", which is used when the ID Read error occurred.
B Barcode reader read number. This is used when the sample ID number is
read by the ID barcode reader.
26/74
3) 12.1.5 Universal test ID
Test code: Suffixing 0 to the “Host ID” in the “Basic” in the "Assay Group Setting" makes the
test code. See the Table 23(Appendix B.1).
Test name: The test name is the “Abbreviation” in the “Basic” in the “Assay Group Setting". It is
consisted of up to 8 characters. See the Table 23(Appendix B.1).
Note：
The measurement of platelet aggregation does not correspond to orders from the host
computer. In case reagents of the measurement of platelet aggregation (ADP, collagen,
epinephrine, arachidonic acid, and ristocetin) are set, parameter codes of the
measurement of platelet aggregation are transmitted. Avoid ordering the measurement of
platelet aggregation from the host computer.
4) 12.1.7 Beginning request result date and time

The date format is fixed to "YYYYMMDDHHMMSS".
Here, YYYY indicates the year, MM the month, DD the day, HH the hour in the 24-hour system (00-23),
MM the minute (0-59), SS the second (0-59).
5) 12.1.13 Requested information status code

Inquiry type：
N: Real time inquiry of the first analysis
C: Real time inquiry of re-analysis
* Either N or C is selectable only when the“Inquire re-analysis”setting in the “System Settings” is
ON.
Notes:
・Requested information record for the C(Inquiry of re-analysis) is transmitted only when
it satisfies the following conditions ;
・The measurement mode is “Standard”mode
・The “Target” of “Automatic Output” in the System Settings is “All Data”
・The analysis is not QC analysis nor Calib.curve analysis
・The instrument is in measurable mode.
・The analysis is not multi dilution analysis(MDA).
・The analysis result data including the parameters for “Re-analysis” in the assay group
settings has been already output.
・Select 9600bps or more of Baud Rate with“Ethernet connection”or“Serial connection”,

because the communication data volume increases when the “Inquire
re-analysis”setting in the“System Settings” is ON.
Notes：
・Set up auto re-analysis, auto re-dilution and reflex in the assay group settings of
CS-2500 in the same conditions with the re-analysis logic of Host Computer, if the
“Inquire re-analysis” is selected (because aspiration volume increases with the
re-analysis).
・Please be noted that the analysis settings are different from those with no inquiry of
re-analysis in the following conditions ;
Same parameters with the parameters used for the first analysis are selected as the
reflex test parameters.
Re-analysis is not performed when the CS-2500 condition is used (that does not inquire
re-analysis). If the analysis is performed by the order of Host Computer, the error
“Insufficient Sample”might occur.

calculated from measurement result of PPP and PRP.
Sample ID number: Consists of 15-digit alpha-numeric. Depends on the direction for use, the
hyphen “-“(2DH) can be inserted between characters. “-“is included in
15-digit number. The zero suppression function is not performed. If the
number is less than 15-digit, it is aligned to the right and spaces (020H) are
padded to the most significant digit. If the sample barcode can not be read,
the sample ID number beginning with "□□ERR0000000001" or
"ERR000000000001” is assigned sequentially to the sample number. (The
symbol “□□” indicates a space character.) The sample number beginning with
“QC” is reserved to use for the QC analysis.
Note: In the System Settings screen, Sample No. in Barcode Reading Error is
selectable from 13-digit ("□□ERR0000000001") or 15-digit
("ERR000000000001") to output. (The symbol “□□” indicates a space character.)
Note: For QC orders, "QCXXXXXXXYYYYYY" is automatically generated as a

sample number.
The selected control name is displayed in XXXXXXX by seven alphameric
characters aligned to the right. If the control name exceeds seven characters,
only the first seven will be displayed. If it is less than seven characters, the
text is aligned to the right and displayed by space padding.
The selected control lot number is displayed in YYYYYY by six alphameric

4) 9.4.5 Universal Test ID

When an order is sent from the host computer to the IPU, set the Universal Test ID which is sent in the
“Universal Test ID” in the section “4.3.3.3 Details the Request Information Record”. If there are no
parameters, it can be skipped.
Note：
The measurement of platelet aggregation does not correspond to orders from the host
computer. The IPU does not measure the platelet aggregation orders even though
parameter codes of platelet aggregation are set. For this reason, maximum aggregation
rate and evaluation parameters are not calculated.
Caution:
When IPU sends an order inquiry to the host computer and then order information is not
registered in the Test Order Record from the host computer, an error dialog box can be
displayed indicating “There is no order in Host Computer (error code:21009)” by enabling
the setting of “A warning message is output in case there is no parameter to be analyzed.”
in “System Settings”-“Operational Settings”-“Order Inquiry” and inserting “000” in the
parameter code in Test Order Record from the host computer.
Test code: Suffixing 0 to the “Host ID” in the “Basic” in the “Assay Group Setup” makes
the test code. See the Table 23(Appendix B.1).
Dilution ratio: Specifies the dilution ratio used in analysis with percent. If it is not specified, follows the
instrument setting. The dilution ratio can be specified with including 2-digit of decimal
number.
The dilution ratio in the CS-2500 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-2500 is ordered, the “Default Dilution
Ratio” in the “Basic” in the “Assay Group Setup” is used for analysis.
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.
31/74
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
be set with the combination of “D”, “R” and “F”. If there are no settings, follows the
instrument settings
D: No redilution
R: No re-analysis
F: No reflex test
Replication: Sets the number of times the test is performed. “1” or “2” can be set.
Other than above value: Sample is measured according to instrument setting.
In the case of QC sample, it is not possible to specify the replication from Host Computer.
Specified replication from Host Computer is not reflected to QC sample.
*Replication can be set only when “System Settings”-"Specify Replication" setting is ON.
Note:
When the“Inquire re-analysis”setting in the “System settings”is ON and the test
order record is for inquiry of re-analysis, it is impossible to specify replication.
(Measurement is performed according to the replication set at the assay group
settings of CS-2500.)

A. TCP/IP communication
A.1 Software
1) Data link/ Network/ Transport layer
The IP address of the IPU for the CS-2500 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-2500. 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-2500 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.

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

999: There is no analysis parameter for 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 the host computer sends the parameter code “000” to IPU, IPU
displays an error dialog box when the setting of [System Settings]-[Operational Settings]-[Order
Inquiry]-[A warning message is output in case there is no parameter to be analyzed.] is turned ON. In
case the setting is OFF, IPU do not display the error dialog box.
63/74
“X” is replaced with a one-digit host ID defined in the Assay Parameter Definition in when transmitting
analysis results.
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 .

・The test code of formula other than platelet aggregation is fixed by “1” to the third digit of the code. On the other
hand, “1” to “7” as unique number is given to the third digit of test code for platelet aggregation. The followings are
examples for test code of platelet aggregation: 671 to 677, 681 to 685, 701 to 707, 711 to 715, and 721 to 725. Refer
to Table 24 for details.
*A result record of absorbance (mOD) (parameter code: 531 to 582) for PPP and PRP in the measurement of
platelet aggregation is data obtained in calculation process of the maximum aggregation rate. Therefore, a host
output is not carried out in the software version after Ver.01-70.

re-analysis” for the inquiry of re-analysis order.
(*3) Restricted transmission: No other transmission can interrupt during the period.
(*4) No Inquiry：If the “Fbg” is not targeted for re-analysis, the inquiry of re-analysis order is not performed.
(*5) Final analysis results：When the “Output each Assay Group result” setting of the “System Settings” is
ON and the “Output the final result” setting is OFF, the final analysis results are not transmitted.

E. Platelet aggregation
“Analysis result (Maximum aggregation rate)”, “Evaluation parameter”, and “Aggregation curve”
are output as analysis result of the measurement of platelet aggregation. The setting of the IPU
determines whether or not to output the “Evaluation parameter” and the “Aggregation curve”.

F. Comment Record
There are two types of information to be transmitted as comment record, “Calibration curve information”
and “Reagent lot information”. The following chart describes transmission order when each of the
comment records is transmitted. The comment record can be transmitted when “Output calibration curve
and reagent lot information” setting in “System Settings” is ON. In the case of platelet aggregation result
or formula result, the comment record is not transmitted.
IPU HOST
If a calibration curve is used for calculation of data value of analysis result: (*1)
Result Record: Analysis result
Comment record: Calibration curve information
If a calibration curve is not used for calculation of data value of analysis result:

:
Comment record: reagent lot information (*2)
(*1) When a calibration curve is used for calculation of data value of analysis result, a record as comment
record for calibration curve information is transmitted following the result record of the analysis
result. The calibration curve information is transmitted when calibration type is “Normal calibration
curve” or “INR calibration curve” and the aalysis status of the result is other than “On Hold”.
(*2) After transmitting the result record of the analysis result, a record as comment record for reagent lot
information is transmitted. The reagent lot information is transmitted by assay groups. Thus, when
an assay group contains multiple assay parameters, a record as comment record for reagent lot
information is transmitted following the result record of the last assay parameter.
