Troubleshooting Capabilities
The EDS-MD medical device servers offer a comprehensive diagnostic toolset that lets you
troubleshoot problems quickly and easily. Available from the CLI or Web Manager, the diagnostic
tools let you:
View critical hardware, memory, buffer pool, IP socket information and routing table
Perform ping and traceroute operations
Conduct forward or reverse DNS lookup operations
View all processes currently running on the EDS-MD 4, EDS-MD 8 and EDS-MD 16 device
server including CPU utilization
View system log messages
Configuration Methods
After installation, the EDS-MD unit requires configuration. For the unit to operate correctly on a
network, it must have a unique IP address on the network. There are four basic methods for
logging into the EDS-MD 4/8/16 device server and assigning IP addresses and other configurable
settings:
Web Manager
: View and configure all settings easily through a web browser using the
Lantronix Web Manager. (See
Configuration Using Web Manager on page 33
.)
DeviceInstaller
: Configure the IP address and related settings and view current settings on
the EDS-MD 4/8/16 device server using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to
a network. You will need the latest version of the Lantronix® DeviceInstaller™ utility. (See
Accessing the PremierWave XC HSPA+ Device Using DeviceInstaller on page 30
.)
Command Mode:
There are a few methods for accessing Command Mode (CLI): making a
Telnet connection, or connecting a PC or other host running a terminal emulation program to
the unit’s port. (See the
EDS-MD Medical Device Server Command Reference
for instructions
and available commands.)
XML:
The EDS-MD 4/8/16 device server supports XML-based configuration and setup
records that make device configuration transparent to users and administrators. XML is easily
editable with a standard text or XML editor. (See the
EDS-MD Medical Device Server
Command Reference
for instructions and commands).
Addresses and Port Numbers
Hardware Address
The hardware address is also referred to as the Ethernet address, physical address, or MAC
address. The first three bytes of the Ethernet address are fixed and identify the unit as a Lantronix
product. The fourth, fifth, and sixth bytes are unique numbers assigned to each unit. Sample
hardware address:
00-20-4A-14-1B-18
00:20:4A:14:1B:18
