2. Introduction
This chapter summarizes the XPort device server’s features and the basic information
needed to get started.
Capabilities
The XPort device server has the following capabilities:
Connects devices through a TCP data channel or through a Telnet connection to
computers or to another device server. The XPort module also supports UDP datagrams.
Contains a web [HTTP] server allowing presentation of custom content and easy
configuration through a browser.
Has three programmable I/O pins used to monitor or control attached devices.
Applications
The XPort device server connects serial devices such as those listed below to Ethernet
networks using the IP protocol family.
ATM machines
CNC controllers
Data collection devices
Environmental sensors
Universal Power Supply (UPS) management units
Telecommunications equipment
Data display devices
Security alarms and access control devices
Handheld instruments
Modems
Time/attendance clocks and terminals

2: Introduction
XPort® Device Server User Guide 13
Protocol Support
The XPort device server uses the Internet Protocol (IP) for network communications. It uses
the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to assure that no data is lost or duplicated, and that
everything sent to the connection arrives correctly at the target.
Supported protocols include:
ARP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, Telnet, TFTP, AutoIP, DHCP, HTTP, and SNMP for network
communications and management.
TCP, UDP, and Telnet for connections to the serial port.
TFTP for firmware and web page updates.
IP for addressing, routing, and data block handling over the network.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for typical datagram applications in which devices interact
with other devices without maintaining a point-to-point connection.
SMTP for email transmission.
Configuration Methods
For the unit to operate correctly on a network, it must have a unique IP address on the
network. There are three basic methods for logging into the device server to assign an IP
address and configure the unit:
DeviceInstaller: Assign an IP address and view the current XPort module configuration
using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network. See 3Using
DeviceInstaller.
Web Manager: Through a web interface, configure the XPort and its settings using the XPort
module’s Web Manager. See 4Configuration Using Web Manager
Serial & Telnet Ports: There are two approaches to accessing Serial Mode. Make a Telnet
connection to the network port (9999) or connect a terminal (or a PC running a terminal
emulation program) to the unit’s serial port. See Chapter Chapter 5: Configuration via Telnet
or Serial Port (Setup Mode).
Addresses and Port Numbers
Hardware Address
You need to know the unit’s hardware address (also known as a MAC address). It is on the
product label, in one of the following formats depending on the model of your XPort unit:
Hardware Address for XPort-05: 00-80-A3-____-____-____
Hardware Address for XPort-03 and XPort-04: 00-20-4A-____-____-____
Note: Make note of the MAC address. It is needed to locate the XPort module using
DeviceInstaller.

2: Introduction
XPort® Device Server User Guide 14
IP Address
Every device connected to an IP network must have a unique IP address. This address is
used to reference the specific unit. The XPort is automatically assigned an IP address on
DHCP-enabled networks, as it is DHCP-enabled by default.
Port Numbers
Every TCP connection and every UDP datagram is defined by a destination IP address and a
port number. For example, a Telnet application commonly uses port number 23. A port
number is similar to an extension on a phone system.
The unit's serial channel (port) can be associated with a specific TCP/UDP port number. Port
number 9999 is reserved for access to the unit's Setup (configuration) Mode window. Ports 0-
1024 are reserved as well. For more information on reserved port numbers, see to Table 7-5.
Reserved Port Numbers on page 50.
Product Information Label
The product information label on the unit contains the following information about the specific
unit:
Part Number
Revision
Manufacturing Date Code
Country of Origin Manufacturing Location ID
MAC Address/Serial Number Barcode
MAC Address/Serial Number*

3. Using DeviceInstaller
This chapter covers the steps for getting the XPort device server online and viewing its
current configuration.
Note: DeviceInstaller is a free utility program provided by Lantronix that discovers,
configures, upgrades, and manages Lantronix Device Servers. It can be downloaded
from the Lantronix website at www.lantronix.com/support/downloads.
For instructions on using DeviceInstaller to configure the IP address and related
settings or for more advanced features, see the DeviceInstaller Online Help.
Installing DeviceInstaller
To install DeviceInstaller:
1. Download the latest version of DeviceInstaller from http://www.lantronix.com/downloads.
2. Run the executable to start the installation process.
3. Respond to the installation wizard prompts. (If prompted to select an installation type,
select Typical).
Assigning an IP Address
The unit’s IP address must be configured before it can work correctly on a network. You have
several options for assigning an IP to your unit. We recommend that you manually assign the
IP address over the network using DeviceInstaller.
Note: To use a serial connection instead of an Ethernet connection to configure the device,
see 5Configuration via Telnet or Serial Port (Setup Mode) on page 42.
The unit’s IP address is normally set to 0.0.0.0 at the factory. The hardware address is on the
product label. The unit is DHCP enabled as the default.
To assign an IP address manually:
1. Click Start

All Programs

Lantronix

DeviceInstaller 4.3

DeviceInstaller. If your
PC has more than one network adapter, a message displays. Select an adapter and click
OK.
Note: If the unit already has an IP address (e.g., DHCP has assigned an IP address), click
the Search icon and select the unit from the list of Lantronix device servers on the local
network.
2. Click the Assign IP icon.

3: Using DeviceInstaller
XPort® Device Server User Guide 17
3. If prompted, enter the hardware address (on the product label) and click Next.
4. Select Assign a specific IP address and click Next.
5. Enter the IP address. The Subnet mask displays automatically based on the IP address;
if desired, you may change it. On a local network, you can leave the Default gateway
blank (all zeros). Click Next.
6. Click the Assign button and wait several seconds until a confirmation message displays.
Click Finish.
7. Select the device from the main window list and select Ping from the Tools menu. The
Ping Device dialog box shows the IP address of the selected unit.
8. From the Tools menu, click the Ping button. The results display in the Status window.
Click the Clear Status button to clear the window so you can ping the device again.
Note: If you do not receive “Reply” messages, make sure the unit is properly attached to the
network and that the IP address assigned is valid for the particular network segment you are
working with. If you are not sure, check with your systems administrator.
9. Click the Close button to close the dialog box and return to the main window.
Accessing the XPort Module Using DeviceInstaller
1. Click Start

All Programs

4. Configuration Using Web Manager
You must configure the unit so that it can communicate on a network with your serial device.
For example, you must set the way the unit will respond to serial and network traffic, how it
will handle serial packets, and when to start or close a connection.
The unit’s configuration is stored in nonvolatile memory and is retained without power. You
can change the configuration at any time. The unit performs a reset after you change and
store the configuration.
In this chapter, we describe how to configure the XPort device server using Web Manager,
Lantronix’s browser-based configuration tool. (For information on using Setup Mode, our
command line configuration interface, see Chapter 5: Configuration via Telnet or Serial Port
(Setup Mode).
Note: The examples in this section show a typical device. Your device may have different
configuration options.
