If the xxx are correct the MAC address menu is displayed.
AFTER POWER-UP, NO CHARACTERS MUST BE TRANSMITTED ON
THE SERIAL LINK DURING A MINIMUM DELAY OF 5 SECONDS TO
ENSURE PROPER BOOT OPERATION OF THE MODEM.
See chapter SETUP for the description of the configuration menus.
Accessing modem set-up by telnet port
The telnet set-up mode can only be entered if a minimal LAN configuration
has been previously introduced by serial port setup to meet the
characteristics of the LAN and WIFI access point from where the modem is
accessed. This minimal configuration includes the WLAN name, the
encryption mode and the associated key for the Wireless parameters and the
IP address of the modem on LAN with manual IP attribution (when NO DHCP
server on the LAN), the subnet mask and the gateway if any required for the
Ethernet parameters.
The only case in which the first setup phase can be bypassed is when the
modem is powered up for the first time, the Access point on which it is
connected has no WEP key configured and a DHCP server is found on the
LAN. Only in this special case, the modem can be accessed with an access
point by WIFI, TCP-IP and Telnet protocols without any initial configuration.
When a modem is configured in DHCP mode, its IP address can be
determined by the “LANTRONIX device installer” utility. It browses the LAN
searching for WIFI modem and displays the MAC address and IP address of
each modem found. The association is realized with the MAC address which
can be found on the rear of the modem box.
The modem setup can then be reached using a telnet terminal to connect on
the port 9999 of the modem. Under a Windows station, the following line can
be entered from a DOS command windows:
telnet 192.168.0.1 9999
(where 192.168.0.1 must be replaced by the IP address of your modem)
See chapter SETUP for the description of the configuration menus.
Lost of connection during telnet set-up phase
In case of LAN disconnection (LAN cable disconnected during set-up phase),
the TCP connection is disconnected on the PC. The internal set-up of the
modem is no more accessible through the network while its internal TCP
