1: Introduction The Lantronix MSS family of Device Servers allows you to network-enable a variety of serial devices that were not originally designed to be networked: personal computers, terminals, modems, industrial machinery, and more. Certain MSS models offer fiber optic Ethernet, PC card support for 802.11, modem, and ATA Flash cards, and multiple serial ports, ensuring a product for almost any networking need. This manual provides the complete command set for all products in the MSS family.

Introduction Command Line Editing Please read this section carefully so you can understand the conventions used in the command descriptions. ◆ Commands are listed in alphabetical order. ◆ Some commands do not apply to all members of the MSS family, and are so noted. ◆ Commands and keywords appear in BOLD face. ◆ User-entered parameters appear in italics. You must replace the italicized word.

2: Command Reference This chapter describes all commands that can be used with the MSS. The commands are listed in alphabetical order, excluding the Ports and Server parameters, which apply only to the MSS4. For example, Change Server Bootgateway is considered the same command as Change Bootgateway and is alphabetized according to the latter. Commands that configure the MSS serial ports will not affect a dedicated console port unless explicitly stated in the individual command description.

B: Environment Strings B.1 Usage An environment string is a sequence of key letters, sometimes prefixed by a plus (+) or minus (-). Environment strings can be used with Change Dedicated, Change Preferred, Hostlist, LAT, and Telnet to configure connections. The keys are added after the hostname (if one is given) and a colon. Key letters are not case-sensitive, and no white space is allowed in the environment string.

B: Show 802.11 Errors B.1 Introduction When you enter the Show 80211 command without any other parameters, the resulting screen includes a field for errors. The “Errors:” field displays two eight-digit numbers, separated by a comma. These numbers are a 64-bit wide bitfield of error bits, each one indicating whether or not the given error has occurred at least once. For example, suppose you're using an MSS-Via with a ZoomAir card in Infrastructure mode.
