 2.3 Installation

Check RS232 UPS connection ,check ethernet connection if connections are OKAY
Connect the power cord of the RS-NET adapter to mains power (The power of the adapter must be
supplied from UPS output otherwise during line failure the power of the RS-NET adapter shutdown)

2.4 RS-NET Configuration using Device Installer

Run device installer software. (Start-Programs-Lantronix Device Installer)

This utility program finds all network connected RS-NET adaptor devices.
If it fails please change your network settings (IP address and subnet mask) as static IP to the following values
İt is only for adjustment purpose after you adjust adaptor you can return to your old network settings.

X-Port factory settings:

IP: 10.0.0.xxx
Subnet Mask: 255.0.0.0
Gateway : 0.0.0.0

If the RS-NET adaptor device is showned on the list double click on it and device details will be showned at the
window. Select the related MD-NET device and click on *Assign IP* button for adjusting the adaptor to your
network settings.

 At “Assign IP” window select *Static IP* option from configuration window and click on *NEXT* button.

NOTE : The new IP address is different from 10.0.0.xxx or subnet mask is different from 255.0.0.0 value the
adaptor connection may be lost in this case please re adjust your PC network settings to these network values.

 After adjust RS-NET IP addresses the new assigned IP address will be showned at device installer program
window.

For detailed configuration we must connect to adaptor as WEB page to do this from device installer program click
