WHAT’S IN THE BOX
In addition to the SDS, the box contains the following items:
POWER SUPPLY (INTERNATIONAL UNITS):
PART #: COMPONENT DESCRIPTION:
520-080-R Power cube, 100-240VAC, with international adapters
500-163 Serial Cable
CD
Power Cord Restraint
DOCUMENTATION:
CD-ROM containing User Guide and Quick Start Guide.
DOCUMENTATION UPDATE
For the latest revision of this product document, please check our online
documentation at www.lantronix.com/support/documentation.
The SDS products allow serial devices to securely connect to and communicate
over an Ethernet network.
This Quick Start explains how to connect, configure, and troubleshoot your unit
using a network connection and our DeviceInstaller software. For more detailed
information or alternative configuration methods, refer to the User Guide on
the CD.

CONNECT
Complete the following steps in order. Refer to the numbers in the figure below.
1. Connect a serial device to your unit.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port.
3. Supply power to your unit using the power supply that was
included in the packaging.
Note: The required input voltage is 9-30 VDC (center +) or 9-24 VAC
(1.5W maximum power required).
4. Supply power to the serial device.

IP ADDRESSING
Your unit must have a unique IP address on your network. Two ways to assign an
IP are described below.
DHCP
Many networks use an automatic method of assigning an IP address called DHCP.
If you are unsure whether your network uses DHCP, check with your systems
administrator.
The SDS looks for a DHCP server when it first powers up.The SDS has acquired
an IP address if the red LED stops flashing and the green Status LED is on
continuously. You can use the DeviceInstaller software to search the network for
the IP your unit has been assigned by the DHCP server and add it to the list of
Lantronix devices on the network.
If the SDS does not acquire an IP, or you do not use DHCP, you must assign a fixed
IP address.
FIXED IP ADDRESS
In most installations, a fixed IP address is desirable.The systems administrator
generally provides the IP address.
The IP address must be within a valid range, unique to your network, and in the same
subnet as your PC.You will need the following information before you set up the unit
as described in Assign IP Address.
IP Address:
___ ___ ___ ___
Subnet Mask: ___ ___ ___ ___
Gateway: ___ ___ ___ ___

ASSIGN IP ADDRESS AND CONFIGURE
1. Click the Start button on the Task Bar and select Programs > Lantronix >
DeviceInstaller > DeviceInstaller. The DeviceInstaller window displays.
2. Note the device IP address.
3. Access Web Manager by entering the device IP address in the address
bar of a browser. The device's factory default username is left blank and
factory default password is the last 8 characters of the Device ID (for
devices manufactured after January 1, 2020) or is left blank (for all older
devices).
4. Assign an IP address in the network settings and perform other
configuration.
Figure 1. DeviceInstaller Window
Note: For details about configuration settings, see the SDS User Guide.

LEDS/TROUBLESHOOT
SDS1101 contains the following LEDs:
• Power
• 10/100 Mb Link
• 10/100 Activity
• Diagnostics
• Status Channel 1
Simultaneously lit red and green LEDs means something is wrong. If the red
LED is lit or blinking, count the number of times the green LED blinks between
its pauses.The following table explains the LED functions.
