TCPIP Setup Guidelines
It is recommended that you set up the console with a
Static IP address
that you obtain from your IT
department. You will need the following pieces of information to setup the network connection on your TLS2P
console:
1.
MAC
address of the XPort device, this can be found right on the device itself inside the console 00-
20-4A-___-___-___
2.
Host IP
address which will be a static IP address assigned to the TLS2P console at this location
___.___.___.___
3.
Subnet Mask
for your network. The subnet mask can be one of the following choices:
255.255.255.254 255.255.255.252 255.255.255.248 255.255.255.240 255.255.255.224
255.255.255.192 255.255.255.128 255.255.255.0
255.255.254.0 255.255.252.0
255.255.248.0 255.255.240.0 255.255.224.0 255.255.192.0 255.255.128.0
255.255.0.0 255.254.0.0 255.252.0.0 255.248.0.0 255.240.0.0
255.224.0.0 255.192.0.0 255.128.0.0 255.0.0.0 254.0.0.0
252.0.0.0 248.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 192.0.0.0
128.0.0.0
4.
Gateway IP
address for the network on which the console is installed on ___.___.___.___
5.
Host Port
which will be assigned for TLS2P console at this location _____________, which has to
fall within the following table:
a.
Anything in the range from 1 to 65,35
•
Except 1 to 1,024 – reserved
•
Except 9999 – reserved
•
Except 14,000 to 14,009 – reserved
•
Except 30,704 – reserved
•
Except 30,178 – reserved
•
The use of the reserved ports can cause the console to stop functioning
.
•
Host Port should be set from 10001 to 10010 in order for the Web Interface to work
6.
Remote IP
address which is the address that the console will connect to if it is setup to Auto-dial
using the TCP/IP option on the console ___.___.___.___
7.
Remote Port
which is the port number on the remote PC that the console will be connecting to when
it is setup to Auto-dial using the TCP/IP option
8.
Email address
which will be the email recipient that will get the emails form the TLS2 console
when it is setup to Auto-dial using the Email option
_________@________.com
9.
From
which will be a unique identification of this specific console _________________
10.
Mail Server IP Address
which is the IP address of the SMTP server that the recipients email
resides on ___.___.___.___
If you choose to put the device in DHCP mode you will still need to know numbers 1, 5,6,7,8,9,and 10 from
your IT department. You will have to set the
Host IP
address to 0.0.0.0,
Subnet Mask
to 255.255.255.0, and
Gateway
to 0.0.0.0.
In DHCP mode the console will default to the following DHCP name:
•
Cxxxxxx where xxxxxx is the last 6 digits of the MAC address shown on the XPort deice inside
the console. If the MAC address is 00-20-4A-A3-85-BF then the DHCP name for that console
will be CA385BF and you can find out the IP address by pinging the DHCP name from the C:\
prompt.
Example: C:\Ping CA385BF
When the DHCP server assigns the IP address and network settings to the TLS2P console, you can discover the
unit by using the Lantronix DeviceInstaller tool which can be downloaded from the
www.lantronix.com
website.
