Appendix C – Network Interface Notes
The LinkHub-E Ethernet interface is implemented with a standard Lantronix XPort. More
information and the Lantronix Device Installer may be downloaded from iButtonLink at
http://www.ibuttonlink.com/manuals.aspx
or from Lantronix at
http://www.lantronix.com
.
The LinkHub-E’s only differences from the Lantronix XPort factory defaults are:
1.
Channel 1 is set to baud rate 115200
This is required to match the serial port of the LinkHub-E’s microprocessor
No Parity, 1 Stop bit are also required, but are Lantronix factory defaults.
2.
The Disconnect Mode is set to 40 hex
This enables Telnet Mode (or Telnet Com Port Cntrl), which disables local
character echoing unless the telnet client program asks for it.
3.
IP Address is set to Autoconfigure, and the LinkHub-E will obtain an IP
address from a DHCP server if one is available on the network, or use AutoIP
to generate an address in the range of 169.254.x.x with a class B subnet mask.
XPort configuration can be done with the Lantronix Device Installer, which includes web
and telnet configuration options. It can also be done with a standard web browser
connection to port 80, or a telnet connection to port 9999.
To use web configuration
highlight the LinkHub-E’s XPort in Device Installer and select the
Web Configuration tab, or with a standard web browser connect to the LinkHub-E’s IP
address on port 80. The username and password are blank by default, so click the OK
button in the authentication popup window.
In Channel 1 Serial Settings select the 115200 Baud Rate and click OK.
In Channel 1 Connection under Common Options select Telnet Mode (or Telnet Com Port
Cntrl) Enable and click OK.
