AutoIP does not replace DHCP. The unit continues to look for a DHCP server on the network. If it finds a DHCP
server, the unit switches to the DHCP server-provided address and reboots.
NOTE
If a DHCP server is found, but it denies the request for an IP address, the unit does not attach to
the network, but waits and retries.
AutoIP can be disabled by setting the unit’s IP address to 0.0.1.0. This setting enables DHCP but disables AutoIP.
5-1.3.6 BOOTP: Similar to DHCP, but for smaller networks. Automatically assigns the IP address for a specific
duration of time.
5-1.3.7 Device Server Setup: The Channel Configuration section of the Setup Mode is used to define how the serial
port responds to network and serial communications when operating as a device server. See the Xport Users Guide
Chapter 7 (Setup Mode: Channel Configuration) section for more details on each of these entries. Some of the
important settings in this section are:
Baudrate: This is the baudrate used by the Xport to communicate to the 8210A when in device server
mode. This setting must match the rate used by the 8210A, and is typically 9600.
I/F (Interface) Mode: The Interface (I/F) Mode is a bit-coded byte entered in hexadecimal notation.
This setting controls the serial port settings of the device server, such as number of bits, parity, stop
bits, etc. The default value for this parameter is 4C, which specifies RS-232C, 8-bit, No Parity, 1 stop
bit.
Flow: Flow control sets the local handshaking method for stopping serial input/output. The default
setting for this parameter is 00 (no flow control)
Port Number: The setting represents the source port number in TCP connections. It is the number
that is used to establish a connection via the network interface. The default setting for this parameter is
10001. This number may have to be changed to match the user’s software. Certain ports are reserved
and should not be used. Refer to the section in the Xport Users Guide for a detailed list.
Compatibility note: units previously mfg’d using the Lantronix MSS-LITE were set to communicate via
port 3001
Connect Mode: Connect Mode defines how the unit makes a connection, and how it reacts to
incoming connections over the network. Enter Connect Mode options in hexadecimal notation. The
default setting is C0, which sets the following options:
Incoming Connection - Always Accept
Response - Nothing (quiet)
Active Startup - No active startup
5-1.3.8 Example Setup Using The Serial Port:
a. Set the rear-panel MODE SELECT switch to CONSOLE position.
b. Open a terminal emulator. Set the PC serial port for 9600N81, no flow control. Serial port cable connections
to a PC will require the use of a null-modem cable (DTE to DTE device).
c. To access the Xport SETUP mode, you must enter three lowercase 'x' characters within one second after
powering on the unit. The easiest way to enter Setup mode is to hold down the 'x' key, and power up the unit.
d. Response should be::
MAC address 00204AC530DB
Software version V6.6.0.2 (080926) XPTEXE
Press Enter for Setup Mode
