Manual Connection:
When you use manual connection, you are not required to enter the entire
IP address if the IP is already configured as the remote IP address in the unit. For example, if the
remote IP address already configured in the unit is 129.1.2.3, then an example command string
would be C3/7. (This would connect to 129.1.2.3 and port 7.) You may also use a different ending
for the connection string. For example, C50.1/23 would connect you to 129.1.50.1 and port 23.

Cwww.lantronix.com/80 Tries to connect to the Lantronix web server if the
<hostname:domain> (
) is configured in the DNS server
database.
Autostart (Automatic Connection):
If you enable
Autostart
, the unit automatically connects to
the remote IP address and remote port specified when the firmware starts.
Hostlist:
If you enable this option, the device server scrolls through the hostlist until it connects
to a device listed in the hostlist table. Once it connects, the unit stops trying to connect to any
others. If this connection fails, the unit continues to scroll through the table until it is able to
connect to another IP in the hostlist.
Hostlist supports a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 12 entries. Each entry contains the IP
address and the port number.
The hostlist is disabled for Manual and Modem Modes. The unit does not accept a data
connection from a remote device when the hostlist option is enabled.
Datagram Type:
When selecting this option, you will be prompted for the Datagram type. Enter
01
for directed or broadcast UDP.
