Serial connecon to a Lanme
without a Display - LANTIME V5 Firmware
Serial connecon setup
The gure shows a LANTIME M100 connected with
power, network, GPS antenna and a serial connecon
between a LANTIME and a computer.
1 USB to Serial Adapter
If you do not use a NULL-MODEM cable you have to connect
a signal changer (TxD - RxD) 2 and a gender changer 3 if
the used adapter cable is equipped with an male connector

In the LANTIME NTP server without a display one has to start
a serial connecon between a PC and the LANTIME in order
to check or assign a Lanme IP address. The serial connecon
can be set up with a NULL-MODEM cable or via an USB to
Serial Adapter.
1. Open an SSH client on your PC (e.g. PuTTy.exe). Type in
the serial port of the PC and the connecon values for
speed and framing, for our example 38400 Baud / 8N1 as
shown in Fig. 1. Conrm with Open buon.

2. LOGIN with a Username and a Password-
Default values root / meserver.
3. Type in setup to enter the Lanme Conguraon window.
4. Choose Ethernet menu (in the lower le corner) and
conrm with „Enter“ to enter the Ethernet Conguraon
window. Secondly, choose Ethernet 0 to proceed to the
Ethernet Conguraon Line 0 as shown in Fig. 2.

IP address is congured .
5. Note down the IP address and Netmask as assigned from
a DHCP.
6. Close this window and exit the SSH client.
7. Connect the LANTIME with your network and start
the WEB interface in your browser via the congured
IP-Address.

In the LANTIME Firmware LTOS6 the CLI Interface is no longer
supported. Therefore start a serial connecon between a PC
and the LANTIME via NULL-MODEM cable or via an USB to
Serial Adapter.
1. Open a SSH client on your PC (e.g. PuTTy.exe). Type in
the serial port of the PC and the connecon values for
speed and framing, for our example 38400 Baud / 8N1 as
shown in Fig. 1. Conrm with Open buon.

2. LOGIN with Username and Password -
Default values root / meserver:
3. Open the network conguraon le in editor -
„nano /etc/mbg/net.cfg“.
Press „Enter“ to conrm.
4. Scroll with the arrow keys to the line with
„[VIRTUAL INTERFACE 0]“.
If the DHCP service is enabled, you can see the IP address
given from your DHCP server. With this IP you can esta-
blish a connecon via the web interface. At this point you
can stop the procedure.
5. Congure the IP-Address:
IPV4-ADDRESS=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
and Subnetmask:
IPV4-NETMASK=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
6. Deacvate DHCP: DHCP-CLIENT=OFF
1 USB to Serial Adapter
If you do not use a NULL-MODEM cable you have to connect
a signal changer (TxD - RxD) 2 and a gender changer 3 if
the used adapter cable is equipped with an male connector
Serial connecon setup
The gure shows a LANTIME
CPU without LC-Display. For
inial conguraon you have
to connect the CPU via serial
terminal to nd out or setup
the IP address.
7. Close the le - press CTRL + x and save the changes -
press y to conrm. Press Enter.
8. Save the new conguraon regularly with „savecong“.
9. Apply the new conguraon with the command
„reboot“ (restart the system).
10. Connect the LANTIME with your network and start
the WEB interface in your browser via the congured
IP-Address.
