1: Introduction
The Lantronix MSS family of Device Servers allows you to network-enable a variety of
serial devices that were not originally designed to be networked: personal computers,
terminals, modems, industrial machinery, and more. This capability brings the advantages
of remote management and data accessibility to thousands of serial devices.
The MSS4 offers a solution for almost every networking need. All MSS4 models provide
four serial ports, which are capable of RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 communications, and
a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port. In addition, certain models of the MSS4 include a
100BASE-FX fiber link Ethernet port and two PC card slots. The slots can be used for
802.11 wireless Ethernet, flash storage, and modem cards.
Note:
For a current list of supported PC card technologies, please check the
Lantronix Web site, www.lantronix.com.
Parts of this manual assume knowledge of the IEEE 802.11 Standard governing wireless
networking. If you are not familiar with wireless networking concepts and implementation,
please refer to the Standard or the documentation that came with your wireless PC card.
Throughout this manual, the MSS4 may be referred to as the
MSS
or as the
Server
.
1.1 Model Overview
There are four MSS4 models, designated as -D, -S, -DFP, and -SFP. The models are
differentiated by whether or not they have a DB9 serial connector, screw terminal blocks,
PC card slots, and fiber link Ethernet.
