IP ADDRESSING
Your unit must have a unique IP address on your network. Two ways to assign
an IP address 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 UDS2100 looks for a DHCP server when it first powers up.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. (See Add the Unit to the Manage List.)
If the UDS2100 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’ll need the following information before you set up
the unit as described in Assign IP Address.
IP Address: ___ ___ ___ ___
Subnet Mask: ___ ___ ___ ___
Gateway: ___ ___ ___ ___
The UDS2100 allows 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 UDS2100 User Guide on the CD.

LED TROUBLESHOOTING
The following LEDs are on the top of the UDS2100:
 Power / Diagnostic (Blue)
 RX Serial 1 Activity LED (Green)
 TX Serial 1 Activity LED (Yellow)
 RX Serial 2 Activity LED (Green)
 TX Serial 2 Activity LED (Yellow)
The following LEDs are on the RJ45 Ethernet connector:
 Ethernet Link LED on the left (Bi-color, 10Mbps = Yellow,
100 Mbps = Green)
 Ethernet Activities LED on the right (Bi-color, Half Duplex = Yellow,
Full Duplex = Green)
LEDS MEANING
Power/Diagnostic (Blue) Steady On = Power OK
Blinking 2x = No DHCP response
Blinking 2x = Setup Menu active
RX Serial 1 Activity LED (Green) Off = No data activity
Blinking = Data being received by UDS2100 on channel 1
TX Serial 1 Activity LED (Yellow) Off = No data activity
Blinking = Data being transmitted from UDS2100 on channel 1
RX Serial 2 Activity LED (Green) Off = No data activity
Blinking = Data being received by UDS2100 on channel 2
TX Serial 2 Activity LED (Yellow) Off = No data activity
Blinking = Data being transmitted from UDS2100 on channel 2
Ethernet Link LED Off = No Ethernet link established
on the left (Bi-color) Solid Yellow = 10Mbps Ethernet link established
Solid Green = 100 Mbps Ethernet Link established
Ethernet Activity LED Off = No data activity
on the right (Bi-color) Blinking Yellow = Half Duplex data activity
Blinking Green = Full Duplex data activity
