Search the internet for
Lantronix DeviceInstaller
to find the latest version. Download and install the
program, then run it. Windows may prompt you for firewall settings: be sure to allow it access to your
local network. It uses port 30718 (0x77FE) to discover Lantronix devices and port 9999 for telnet
access. On start up, it will search for all known Lantronix devices. If it finds more than one XPort
device, you may need to use the MAC address to determine which is the correct MCM-MBT.
Once you have found the correct meter, you can double-click it to access more details. It may com-
plain it could not access configuration details; this is common and does not indicate a problem. You
may be able to click the
Configuration Records
tab to read the configuration. See
3.8.5 Advanced Configuration
The XPort supports telnet access for advanced configuration. There are multiple telnet client options:
there is telnet built into the Lantronix DeviceInstaller utility, Windows includes telnet although it may
need to be enabled (see
), and you may use any other telnet client.
The XPort includes a unique default password for telnet access. The factory default password will be
the UL Listing serial number from the label installed in the enclosure. For
below, the pass-
word would be “B 84728808” with a space between the B and the number.
Figure 12: UL Listed Label
If you are using the DeviceInstaller, click on the
Telnet Configuration
tab, then click
Connect
to con-
nect. If you are using a different telnet client, connect using port 9999. The example below assumes
the MCM’s IP address is 192.168.1.100.
C:\> telnet 192.168.1.100 9999
If you do not know the IP address of the MCM, you will need to determine it by checking your DHCP
server or using the Lantronix DeviceInstaller.
As soon as you are connected, the XPort will prompt you to enter the password. You must type it
correctly on the first try (backspace does not work). As soon as you type the last character, it will show
“
Press Enter for Setup Mode
”; press
Enter
to continue. If you make a mistake typing the pass-
word, you will need to disconnect and reconnect to try again.
Now, the XPort telnet interface will display the current configuration. See the figure below for an
example.
