IP Address
Your NetPort must have a unique IP address on your network.
The system administrator generally provides the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway or they will
opt for it to be allocated by the DHCP Server dynamically each time it is powered up – consequently it
can change.
The IP address must be within a valid range, unique to your network, and in the same subnet as your
PC, check with your IT administrator for appropriate addresses.
IP Address: _______________________________________
Gateway _______________________________________
Hardware Address
You may need to know the unit's hardware address (also known as a MAC address). On later
NetPorts this is printed on the white label which is fixed to the underside of the unit. Earlier NetPorts
did not have this label so you may need to use Device Installer to detect this MAC address and write
it down if required.
The format is: 00-20-4a-XX-XX-XX, where XXs are unique numbers assigned to the product.
Assigning IP Addresses
The unit's IP address is set to 0.0.0.0 at the factory which established it in DHCP Client mode and will
attempt to obtain an IP address, Subnet & Gateway from a DHCP Sever.
You have several options for manually assigning an IP to your unit. We recommend that you connect
the NetPort to the network and assign the IP address using DeviceInstaller, which is on the NetPort
CDROM.
4.1 Install DeviceInstaller
1. Install DeviceInstaller from the CD-ROM. If the CD does not launch automatically browse the ‘Device
Installer’ folder and run the setup.EXE file
2. Respond to the installation wizard prompts. You may be prompted to install .NET frameworks
to bring your Windows installation up to date to be able to run DeviceInstaller. These are
provided on the CDROM but your PC may choose to (or already done so) download from
Microsoft.
Note: For more information about DeviceInstaller, see the DeviceInstaller help menus.
By selecting the relevant NetPort you are then able to change the configuration via 2 methods, choose
whichever suits you:
Telnet (ASCII menus over the network)
Web Config (via any web browser)
Note: It is also possible to configure NetPort via the RS232 port using an application such as
HyperTerminal. See section: 4.4.4 Via Serial Port (master config port)
4.3 Assign IP Manually
There are 2 ways to achieve this depending on whether or not you have successfully detected
NetPort using Device Installer.
4. Enter the IP address. The Subnet mask displays automatically based on the IP
address; if desired, you may change it. On a local network, you can leave the
Default Gateway blank (all zeros). Click Next.
5. Click the Assign button and wait several seconds until a confirmation message
displays. Click Finish.
1) Click on Assign IP
5) Click the Assign button and wait several seconds until a confirmation
message displays. Click Finish.
6) You should see NetPort shown similar to this:
4.4.2
Open a browser on a computer on a compatible Subnet as the NetPort.
Enter the IP Address of the NetPort into the browser and press ENTER.
Within 5 seconds a Java-based applet will upload into the browser and look like this:
Change the relevant settings for your needs. Here are some of the most commonly used
parameters:
Subnet mask:
Defines the range of IP Addresses that this device has access to and vice versa. In a typical
Class C Private Network using the range 192.168.0.x the subnet will be 255.255.255.0 (or 8
bit). Leave as 0.0.0.0 for DHCP allocated.
Gateway:
If the NetPort is expected to establish connection outside of the Firewall/Gateway that belongs
to the LAN you will need to tell it which Gateway to use. Leave as 0.0.0.0 for DHCP allocated.
High Performance
ONLY enable if you need the NetPort to run at RS232 speeds of 460kbps & 920kbps.
Telnet Password
Only update this field if you wish to apply a password to Telnet sessions to the device (all
ports)
Flow Control
Select CTS/RTS for automatic hardware flow control of buffered data (factory default) Note:
CTS/RTS are not manually controllable over the LAN.
Select Xon/Xoff for software flow control of buffered data
Select None for simple 3 wire UART connection where flow control is not necessary
Local Port
This is the TCP/IP Port that NetPort uses for the data in & out of the RS232 port. In most
cases set this to 10001 for a standard connection. (older units may be factory set to 10001)
Incoming Connection
Select Connect with DTR if you want an incoming connection only to be permitted when DTR
is asserted by your RS232 equipment.
Select Unconditional to accept all incoming connections
Startup
Select the appropriate option if you want an outgoing connection to be established under
certain criteria. In most cases you will need to enter a Remote Host & Remote Port in the
field below to tell NetPort what to connect to.
Modem Mode allows you to dial an IP address manually from NetPort’s RS232 port via an
interface that mimics a basic modem AT command line. For example:
Type: ATDT 192.168.0.1, 10001
Reply is either: CONNECT (and you are in transparent mode)
Or NO CARRIER (and you remain in command line mode)
ATH or +++ to exit transparent mode.
Remote IP Address
In cases when you want NetPort to initiate the connection, specify the IP Address of the target
device here. Note: if you are attaching to a device behind a firewall, you may need to add an
entry into the routing table to reach the remote device.
Remote Port
Specify the remote TCP/IP port of the device you wish NetPort to connect to. This port
number does not have to be the same as that set inside NetPort, thus allowing connections to
equipment other than NetPort’s.
Flush Mode
Controls whether you want to flush the contents of any buffers upon a new connection or
preserve them.
Packing Algorithm
Can be used to avoid fragmentation of your data should packetisation cause data corruption.
Telnet Mode
Allows you to Telnet into the RS232 port of NetPort if enabled. Switch off if not used as it will
filter certain bytes from your data.
Port Password
If enabled requires the Telnet Password to be entered before a connection is authorised.
In any event, you must specify Port 9999 as the destination port to be able to
enter the configuration menus. Telnetting to port 10001 will result in you
connecting to the RS232 port of NetPort and not the config menus.
Once Telnet has established a link:
You will need to press ENTER within 3 seconds or NetPort will time out and close
the session.
Once the session has begun NetPort will scroll through all of its config in an
ASCII format and then offer an ASCII menu.
See Appendix A – Setup Mode Parameters for a full breakdown of the options
and hexadecimal masks.
In Summary:
To change IP address, Gateway, Subnet and DHCP name (where applicable)
use Menu 0
To change the serial settings (baud rate handshaking etc) use Menu 1
To change the Local Port, Remote IP address & Remote Port use Menu 1
To enable or disable telnet, HTTP, SNMP, TFTP & passwords use Menu 6
To restore factory default settings (except IP address/subnet/Gateway) use
Menu 7
Tip: Press ENTER to move through the menu fields without changing them.
Top-tip: Ensure you save any changes made in the above by selecting Menu 9
The RS232 port is always enabled and is therefore the master config port. To
access the config menus you will need to establish a serial session using a PC or
Terminal.
1. For a PC, connect as follows:
3. Once the Application is running, power up the NetPort and hold down the ‘x’
key on the PC until you receive the following prompt:
Note: If the CAPS lock is enabled on your keyboard NetPort will not respond.
Turn off CAPS Lock, turn off power to NetPort and repeat the above.
4. You will need to press ENTER within 3 seconds or NetPort will time out and
close the session.
5. Once the session has begun NetPort will scroll through all of its config in an
ASCII format and then offer an ASCII menu.
See Appendix A – Setup Mode Parameters for a full breakdown of the options
and hexadecimal masks.
In Summary:
To change IP address, Gateway, Subnet and DHCP name (where applicable)
use Menu 0
To change the serial settings (baud rate handshaking etc) use Menu 1
To change the Local Port, Remote IP address & Remote Port use Menu 1
To enable or disable telnet, HTTP, SNMP, TFTP & passwords use Menu 6
To restore factory default settings (except IP address/subnet/Gateway) use
Menu 7
Tip: Press ENTER to move through the menu fields without changing them.
Top-tip: Ensure you save changes made in the above by selecting Menu 9
5 Sending/Receiving data
The NetPort should now be enumerated on your LAN and can receive/send data according to
its standard serial settings:
If your RS232 equipment can communicate in this data format then all you need to do now is
open an application on a networked PC to send/receive.
1. Use Com Port Redirector to assign a Virtual Com Port to the NetPort, you can then
use your existing application software to communicate via COMx over the Ethernet
without any TCP/IP knowledge. (where x is the Com Port number you have
configured in Redirector)
a) Install Com Port Redirector on the PC that the Virtual Com Port is required
using the NetPort CDROM.
See the AMC-AN-LAN07 Com Port Redirector Apps Note Iss01.pdf on the CDROM
for more help.
Redirector config Notes: When configuring the TCPPort, enter a value of 10001,
ensure Raw Mode is enabled in Port Settings.
Note: At the time of going to press, NetPort is factory set to Local Port = 14001 and
will need changing by the user to 10001. See section: 4.4 Changing NetPort’s Serial
Parameters to connect to your Equipment
2. Use HyperTerminal-32bit (included in Windows Xp & Windows 2000) in Winsock
mode to connect over the Ethernet to the NetPort.
Note: At the time of going to press, NetPort is factory set to Local Port = 14001 and
will need changing by the user to 10001. See section: 4.4 Changing NetPort’s Serial
Parameters to connect to your Equipment
Enter the IP Address of your NetPort and 10001 for the port number:
If HyperTerminal does not successfully connect, check that you have entered
the IP address and Port number correctly. Additionally, check that the
NetPort settings match the baud rate and port number you have entered in
HyperTerminal.
5.2 If you have an application already which can talk to a TCP/IP
Socket
You need to configure your Application to use Socket (Port) number 10001 and ensure this is
the same inside NetPort.
Note: At the time of going to press, NetPort is factory set to Local Port = 14001 and will need
changing by the user to 10001. See section: 4.4 Changing NetPort’s Serial Parameters to
connect to your Equipment
6 Appendix A – Setup Mode Parameters
The following is the raw breakdown of the Setup Mode Parameters that
apply to NetPort.
You can enter Setup Mode using the following procedures locally or remotely:
Use a Telnet connection to configure the unit over the network.
Use a terminal/emulation program to access the serial port locally.
The unit’s configuration is stored in nonvolatile memory and is retained without power. You
can change the configuration at any time. The unit performs a reset after the configuration has
been changed and stored.
Note: The menus in this section show a typical device. Your device may have different
configuration options.
Note: You can also use DeviceInstaller to access Telnet. Select the device from the main
window list, and click the Telnet icon. If you use the Telnet icon on the DeviceInstaller
toolbar, skip steps 1 and 2.
1. From the Windows Start menu, click Run and type the following command, where
x.x.x.x is the IP address, and 9999 is the unit’s fixed network configuration port
number:
MAC Address
3. To enter the Setup Mode, press Enter within 5 seconds. The configuration settings
display, followed by the setup menu options.
Setup Menu Options
4. Select an option on the menu by entering the number of the option in the Your
choice? field and pressing Enter.
5. To enter a value for a parameter, type the value and press Enter, or to confirm a
current value, just press Enter.
6. When you are finished, save the new configurations (option 9). The unit reboots.
2. To enter Setup Mode, reset the unit by cycling the unit's power (power off and back on).
The self-test will begin. You have one second to enter three lowercase x characters
(xxx).
Note: The easiest way to enter Setup Mode is to hold down the x key at the terminal (or
emulation) while resetting the unit.
3. At this point, the screen display is the same as when you use a Telnet connection
The following figure shows all of the configuration parameters. The remainder of this Appendix
describes each parameter in detail.
6.2 Server Configuration (Network Configuration)
The unit’s basic network parameters display when you select Server configuration (option
0). The IP Address, Set Gateway IP Address, and Netmask fields display the current
values.
6.2.1 IP Address
The IP address must be set to a unique value in your network.
Set Gateway IP Address
The gateway address, or router, allows communication to other LAN segments. The gateway
address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same LAN segment as the
unit. The gateway address must be within the local network. The default is N (No), meaning
the gateway address has not been set. To set the gateway address, type Y and enter the
address.
Note: You don’t need a password to access the Setup Mode window via a serial connection.
DHCP Name
If a DHCP server has automatically assigned the IP address and network settings, you can
discover the unit by using the DeviceInstaller network search feature. There are three
methods for assigning DHCP names to the unit.
Default DHCP Name: If you do not change the DHCP name, and you are using an IP
of 0.0.0.0, then the DHCP name defaults to CXXXXXX (XXXXXX is the last 6 digits of
the MAC address shown on the label on the bottom/side of the unit). For example, if
the MAC address is 00-20-4A-12-34-56, then the default DHCP name is C123456.
Custom DHCP Name: You can create your own DHCP name. If you are using an IP
address of 0.0.0.0, then the last option in Server configuration is:
Change DHCP device name. This option allows you to change the DHCP name to
an alphanumeric name (LTX in our example).
Numeric DHCP Name: You can change the DHCP name by specifying the last octet
of the IP address. When you use this method, the DHCP name is LTXYY where YY is
what you chose for the last octet of the IP address. If the IP address you specify is
0.0.0.12, then the DHCP name is LTX12. This method only works with 2 digit
numbers (0-99).
6.3.1 Baudrate
The unit and attached serial device, such as a modem, must agree on a speed or baud rate to
use for the serial connection. Valid baud rates are 300, 600, 1200, 2400,
4800, 9600 (default), 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, and 230400 bits per second. In standard
Clock Mode. The unit also supports high-performance baud rates of 460800, and 921600 bits
per second (see Expert Settings to configure High Performance Mode to attain these speeds).
(1) 2 stop bits are implemented by the software. This might influence performance.
The following table demonstrates how to build some common Interface Mode settings:
Flow
Flow control sets the local handshaking method for stopping serial input/output. Use the
following table to select flow control options:
Flow Control Options
Port Number
The setting represents the source port number in TCP connections. It is the number that
identifies the channel for remote initiating connections. The default setting for Port 1 is 10001.
The range is 1-65535, except for the following reserved port numbers:
Warning: We recommend that you not use the reserved port numbers for this setting as
incorrect operation may result.
The port number functions as the TCP/UDP source port number for outgoing packets.
Packets sent to the unit with this port number are received to this channel.
The port number selected is the Incoming TCP/UDP port and Outgoing TCP/UDP source port.
Use Port 0 when you want the outgoing source port to change with each connection. If the
port number is 0, a random value of at least 50000 is used to actively establish a connection.
Each subsequent connection increments the number by 1. When the port number reaches
59999, it wraps around to 50000.
Only use the automatic port increment feature to initiate a connection using TCP. Set the port
to a non-zero value when the unit is in a passive mode or when you are using UDP instead of
TCP.
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.
Connect Mode Options
Incoming Connection
Response
Datagram Type
Modem Mode
In Modem (Emulation) Mode, the unit presents a modem interface to the attached serial
device. It accepts AT-style modem commands, and handles the modem signals correctly.
To select Modem Mode, set the Connect Mode to C6 (no echo), D6 (echo with full verbose),
or D7 (echo with 1-character response).
Note: If the unit is in Modem Mode, and the serial port is idle, the unit can still accept network
TCP connections to the serial port if Connect Mode is set to C6 (no echo), D6 (echo with full
verbose), or D7 (echo with 1-character response).
Note: The unit recognizes these AT commands as single commands such as ATE0 or ATV1;
it does not recognize compound commands such as ATE0V.
Remote IP Address
This is the destination IP address used with an outgoing connection.
Remote Port
You must set the remote TCP port number for the unit to make outgoing connections. This
parameter defines the port number on the target host to which a connection is attempted.
Note: To connect an ASCII terminal to a host using the unit for login purposes, use the
remote port number 23 (Internet standard port number for Telnet services).
DisConnMode
This setting determines the conditions under which the unit will cause a network connection to
terminate.
Note: In DisConnMode (Disconnect Mode), DTR drop either drops the connection or is
ignored.
Function 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Pack Control
Two firmware-selectable packing algorithms define how and when packets are sent to the
network. The standard algorithm is optimized for applications in which the unit is used in a
local environment, allowing for very small delays for single characters, while keeping the
packet count low. The alternate packing algorithm minimizes the packet count on the network
and is especially useful in applications in a routed Wide Area Network (WAN). Adjusting
parameters in this mode can economize the network data stream.
Pack control settings are enabled in Flush Mode. Set this value to 00 if you do not need
specific functions.
Packing Interval: Packing Interval defines how long the unit should wait before sending
accumulated characters. This wait period is between successive network segments containing
data. For alternate packing, the default interval is 12 ms.
Trailing Characters: In some applications, CRC, Checksum, or other trailing characters
follow the end-of-sequence character; this option helps to adapt frame transmission to the
frame boundary.
Send Characters: If 2-Byte Send Character Sequence is enabled, the unit interprets the
sendchars as a 2-byte sequence; if this option is not enabled, the unit interprets them
independently. If Send Immediately After Characters is not set, any characters already in the
serial buffer are included in the transmission after a "transmit" condition is found. If this option
is set, the unit sends immediately after recognizing the transmit condition (sendchar or
timeout).
Send Characters
You can enter up to two characters in hexadecimal representation in sendchar. If the unit
receives a character on the serial line that matches one of these characters, it sends the
character immediately, along with any awaiting characters, to the TCP connection. This action
minimizes the response time for specific protocol characters on the serial line (for example,
ETX, EOT). Setting the first sendchar to 00 disables the recognition of the characters.
Alternatively, the unit can interpret two characters as a sequence (see Pack Control above).
Telnet Terminal Type
This parameter displays only if you enabled the terminal type option in Disconnect Mode. If
this option is enabled, you can use the terminal name for the Telnet terminal type. Enter only
one name.
If the terminal type option is enabled, the unit also reacts to the EOR (end of record) and
binary options, which can be used for applications like terminal emulation to IBM hosts.
Note: You can change these settings via Telnet or serial connections only, not on the Web-
Manager. To configure e-mail settings via DeviceInstaller, see the help files in
DeviceInstaller\Help.
The unit can send an e-mail to multiple recipients when a specific trigger event occurs. There
are three separate triggers, based on any combination of the configurable pins (GPIO) when
selected as user I/O functions. You can also use a two byte serial string to initiate a trigger.
E-mail Settings
E-mail Setup
E-mail setup requires you to set up the e-mail server location as follows:
Trigger Setup
A trigger event can occur when the unit receives two bytes of a specified sequence on the
serial port, or because of a specified combination of conditions on the configurable pins.
If the serial sequence is set to 00,00, the trigger is disabled. At the Serial Sequence prompt,
enter the ASCII Hex value. Example: A two byte sequence of 12 would be 0x31, 0x32.
If the configurable pins are all set to X (Don’t Care), then they are disabled. If both the serial
sequence and the configurable pins are disabled, the trigger is disabled.
Note: You can set the configurable pins to A = Active, I = Inactive, or X = Don’t Care. Active
can be set to Active Low or Active High. To change the configurable pins’ settings, you must
use DeviceInstaller or see Applications Note AMC-ANLAN012 on the CDROM for a web
browser method.
Each trigger is independent of the others. Each condition within an individual trigger must be
met before the unit will send the e-mail.
Note: If baud rates of 460Kbps or 920Kbps are set and the high performance mode disabled,
the operation of the serial channel would be out of the specified error tolerance thereby
leading to inconsistent speed settings on the two ends of the serial channel.
Monitor Mode at Bootup
This option allows you to disable all entries into Monitor Mode during startup, except for the
‘xxx’ sequence. This prevents entry via ‘yyy’, ‘zzz’, ‘xx1’, and ‘yy1’ key sequences (only during
the bootup sequence). The default for Monitor Mode at Bootup is enabled. See Appendix B -
Using Monitor Mode for more info on Monitor Mode
Caution: Disabling both Telnet Setup and Port 77FE will prevent users from accessing all
setup menus from the network. Disabling Port 77FE also disables the Web & Device Installer
from configuring the device.
Security Settings
Disable SNMP
This setting allows you to disable the SNMP protocol on the unit for security reasons.
This setting defaults to the N (No) option. The Y (Yes) option disables access to Setup Mode
by Telnet (port 9999). It only allows access locally via the web pages and the serial port of the
unit.
Note: The Y (Yes) option disables many of the GUI tools for configuring the unit, including the
embedded Web-Manager tool.
Enable Encryption
This option displays only if you purchased the encrypted versions of NetPort (LAN03 or
LAN04)). You can enable or disable (default) Rijndael encryption. Rijndael is the block cipher
algorithm recently chosen by the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) as the
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to be used by the US government.
To enable encryption, select the key length (128, 192 or 256 bits) and enter the encryption
key in hexadecimals (32, 48, or 64, respectively). The hexadecimals are echoed as asterisks
to prevent onlookers from seeing the key.
Encryption only applies to the port selected for tunneling (default 10001), regardless of
whether you are using TCP or UDP.
Generally, one of two situations applies.
Encrypted NetPort-to-NetPort communication (and in the future, NetPort
communication to other Lantronix device servers) is supported without extra effort.
Note: Configuring encryption should be done through a local connection to the serial port of
the NetPort, or via a secured network connection. Initial configuration information including the
encryption key is sent in clear text over the network.
There are two ways to enter Monitor Mode: locally via the serial port or remotely via the
network.
2. To enter Monitor Mode, reset the unit by cycling the unit's power (power off and back
on). The self-test will begin. You have one second to enter:
three lowercase z characters (zzz) for Monitor Mode with network connections
or
three lowercase y characters (yyy) for Monitor Mode without network connections
Note: The easiest way to enter Setup Mode is to hold down the appropriate key at the
terminal (or emulation) while resetting the unit.
A 0> prompt indicates that you have successfully entered Monitor Mode.
Note: You can also use DeviceInstaller to access Telnet. Select the device from the main
window list, and click the Telnet icon. If you use the Telnet icon on the DeviceInstaller
toolbar, skip steps 1 and 2.
