If the network is not DHCP-enabled or a static IP address is preferred, there are several 
options for assigning an IP to your unit. We recommend that you connect the WiPort to 
the network and assign the IP address using DeviceInstaller software, which is available 
for download from the Lantronix website. For information on other methods, see the 

WiPort User Guide

Connecting the WiPort – Wireless Method 

To get started, establish a wireless connection between a desktop or laptop with a 
wireless card to the WiPort Evaluation Board.  This permits the configuration of the 
WiPort to work on your network. 

Note:

 To connect using the WiPort NR, refer t

. 

 

1.  Verify the wireless card is inserted correctly in the PC or laptop.  Ensure 

the wireless card’s drivers and utilities are installed.  Change and save 
the client manager to the following settings: 

 

Channel 11 

 

Disable encryption 

 

Disable authentication 

 

Ad-Hoc network 

 

Network name set to: LTRX_IBSS 

 

Open association (if option is available) 

 

DHCP-enabled 

 

 

 

 

2.  Select the appropriate power plug adaptor for your geographical location.  

Insert it into the slot on the Universal Power Supply; then plug the power 
supply into an outlet.
