Overview
The UC-7400-LX Plus series of RISC-based communication platforms are ideal for embedded
applications. Features include 8 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, a
PCMCIA interface for wireless LAN communication, and CompactFlash and USB ports for mass
storage disk expansion.
The UC-7400-LX Plus uses an Intel XScale IXP425 533 Mhz RISC CPU. Unlike the X86 CPU,
which uses a CISC design, the IXP425’s RISC design architecture and modern semiconductor
technology provide the UC-7400-LX Plus with a powerful computing engine and communication
functions, but without generating a lot of heat. The built-in 32 MB NOR Flash ROM and 128 MB
SDRAM give you enough memory to put your application software directly on UC-7400-LX Plus.
In addition, since the dual-LAN ports are built right into the IXP425 CPU, the UC-7400-LX Plus
is an ideal communication platform for network security applications. If your application requires
placing the UC-7400-LX Plus in a location that is not near an Ethernet LAN connection, you can
use the UC-7400-LX Plus’s PCMCIA port to attach a wireless LAN card.
The pre-installed Linux operating system provides an open software operating system for your
software program development. Software written for desktop PCs can be easily ported to the
UC-7400-LX Plus platform with a GNU cross compiler, without needing to modify the source
code. All of the necessary device drivers, such as a PCMCIAwireless LAN module and keypad,
LCM, and buzzer control, are also included with the UC-7400-LX Plus. The operating system,
device drivers, and the software you develop for your own application, can all be stored in the
UC-7400-LX Plus’s Flash memory.
Software Architecture
The Linux operating system that is pre-installed in the UC-7400-LX Plus follows the standard
Linux architecture, making it easy to port programs that follow the POSIX standard to the
UC-7400-LX Plus. Porting is done with the GNU Tool Chain provided by Moxa. In addition to the
Standard POSIXAPI, device drivers for the buzzer and CompactFlash mass storage, UART, digital
input, digital output, and wireless LAN PCMCIA card are also included in the UC-7400-LX Plus
Linux system.

UC-7400-LX Plus User’s Manual Introduction
1-3
The UC-7400-LX Plus’s built-in Flash ROM is partitioned into Boot Loader, Linux Kernel, Root
File System, and User Root File System partitions.
In order to prevent user applications from crashing the Root File System, the UC-7400-LX Plus
uses a specially designed Root File System with protected configuration for emergency use. This
Root File System comes with serial and Ethernet communication capability for users to load the
Factory Default Image file. The user directory saves the user’s settings and applications.
To improve system reliability, the UC-7400-LX Plus has a built-in mechanism that prevents the
system from crashing. When the Linux kernel boots up, the kernel will mount the root file system
for read only, and then enable services and daemons. During this time, the kernel will start
searching for system configuration parameters via rc or inittab.
Normally, the kernel uses the Root File System to boot up the system. Since the Root File System
is protected and cannot be changed by the user, this provides a “safe” zone.
For more information about the memory map and programming, refer to Chapter 5,
“Programmer’s Guide.”
Journaling Flash File System (JFFS2)
The User Root File System in the flash memory is formatted with the Journaling Flash File
System (JFFS2). The formatting process places a compressed file system in the flash memory,
transparent to the user.
The Journaling Flash File System (JFFS2), which was developed byAxis Communications in
Sweden, puts a file system directly on the flash, instead of emulating a block device. It is designed
for use on flash-ROM chips and recognizes the special write requirements of a flash-ROM chip.
JFFS2 implements wear-leveling to extend the life of the flash disk, and stores the flash directory
structure in the RAM. A log-structured file system is maintained at all times. The system is always
consistent, even if it encounters crashes or improper power-downs, and does not require fsck (file
system check) on boot-up.
JFFS2 is the newest version of JFFS. It provides improved wear-leveling and garbage-collection
performance, improved RAM footprint and response to system-memory pressure, improved
concurrency and support for suspending flash erases; marking of bad sectors with continued use of
the remaining good sectors (which enhances the write-life of the devices), native data compression
inside the file system design, and support for hard links.
The key features of JFFS2 are:
Targets the Flash ROM directly
Robustness
Consistency across power failures
No integrity scan (fsck) is required at boot time after normal or abnormal shutdown
Explicit wear leveling
Transparent compression
Although JFFS2 is a journaling file system, this does not preclude the loss of data. The file system
will remain in a consistent state across power failures and will always be mountable. However, if
the board is powered down during a write then the incomplete write will be rolled back on the next
boot, but writes that have already been completed will not be affected.
Additional information about JFFS2 is available at:

Powering on the UC-7400-LX Plus
Connect the SG wire to the Shielded Contact located in the upper left corner of the UC-7400-LX
Plus, and then power on the computer by connecting it to the power adaptor. It takes about 30 to
60 seconds for the system to boot up. Once the system is ready, the Ready LED will light up, and
the model name of the computer will appear on the LCM display.
NOTE After connecting the UC-7400 LX Plus to the power supply, it will take about 30 to 60 seconds for
the operating system to boot up. The green Ready LED will not turn on until the operating system
is ready.
Connecting the UC-7400-LX Plus to a PC
There are two ways to connect the UC-7400-LX Plus to a PC: (1) Through the serial console port,
and (2) via Telnet over the network.
Serial Console
The serial console port gives users a convenient way of connecting to the UC-7400-LX Plus
console utility. This method is particularly useful when using the computer for the first time. The
signal is transmitted over a direct serial connection, so that you do not need to know any of the IP
addresses in order to connect to the serial console utility.
Use the serial console port settings shown below.

Password: root

UC-7400-LX Plus User’s Manual Getting Started
2-3
Telnet Console
If you know at least one of the two IP addresses and netmasks, then you can use Telnet to connect
to the UC-7400-LX Plus’s console utility. The default IP address and Netmask for each port are
given below:
Default IP Address Netmask
LAN 1 192.168.3.127 255.255.255.0
LAN 2 192.168.4.127 255.255.255.0
Use a cross-over Ethernet cable to connect directly from your PC to the UC-7400-LX Plus. You
should first modify your PC’s IP address and netmask so that your PC is on the same subnet as one
of the UC-7400-LX Plus LAN ports. For example, if you connect to LAN 1, you can set your PC’s
IP address to 192.168.3.126 and netmask to 255.255.255.0. If you connect to the LAN 2, you can
set your PC’s IP address to 192.168.4.126 and netmask to 255.255.255.0.
To connect to your local LAN with a hub or switch, use a straight-through Ethernet cable. The
default IP addresses and netmasks are shown above. To log in, type the Login name and password
as requested. The default values are both root:
Login: root
Password: root
You can proceed with configuring network settings of the target computer when you reach the bash
command shell. Configuration instructions are given in the next section.
ATTENTION
Serial Console Reminder
Remember to choose VT100 as the terminal type. Use the cable CBL-RJ45F9-150, which comes
with the UC-7400-LX Plus, to connect to the serial console port.
Telnet Reminder
When connecting to the UC-7400-LX Plus over a LAN, you must configure your PC’s Ethernet
IP address to be on the same subnet as the UC-7400-LX Plus that you wish to contact. If you do
not get connected on the first try, re-check the serial and IP settings, and then unplug and re-plug
the UC-7400-LX Plus power cord.

SSH Console
UC-7400-LX Plus supports an SSH console to provide users with better security options.
Windows Users
Click on the link http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html to download
PuTTY (free software) to set up an SSH console for the UC-7400-LX Plus in a Windows
environment. The following figure shows a simple example of the configuration that is required.
Linux Users
From a Linux machine, use the “ssh” command to access the UC-7400-LX Plus Console utility
through an SSH connection.
#ssh 192.168.3.127
Select yes to complete the connection.
[root@bee_notebook root]# ssh 192.168.3.127
The authenticity of host ‘192.168.3.127 (192.168.3.127)’ can’t be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 8b:ee:ff:84:41:25:fc:cd:2a:f2:92:8f:cb:1f:6b:2f.
Are you sure you want to continue connection (yes/no)? yes_
NOTE SSH provides better security compared to Telnet for accessing the UC-7400-LX Plus Console
utility over the network.

UC-7400-LX Plus User’s Manual Getting Started
2-5
Configuring the Ethernet Interface
The network settings of the UC-7400-LX Plus can be modified from the serial Console, or online
over the network.
Modifying Network Settings with the Serial Console
In this section, we use the serial console to configure the network settings of the target computer.
1. Follow the instructions given in a previous section to access the Console Utility of the target
computer via the serial Console port, and then type #cd /etc/network to change directories.
root@Moxa:# cd /etc/network/
root@Moxa:/etc/network/#
2. Type #vi interfaces to edit the network configuration file with vi editor. You can configure
the Ethernet ports of the UC-7400-LX Plus for static or dynamic (DHCP) IP addresses.
Static IP addresses:
As shown below, 2 network addresses need to be modified: address, network, netmask, and
broadcast. The default IP addresses are 192.168.3.127 for LAN1 and 192.168.4.127 for
LAN2, with default netmask of 255.255.255.0.
# We always want the loopback interface.
auto eth0 eth1 lo
iface lo inet loopback
# embedded ethernet LAN1
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.3.127
network 192.168.3.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.3.255
# embedded ethernet LAN2
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.4.127
network 192.168.4.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.4.255
Dynamic IP addresses:
By default, the UC-7400-LX Plus is configured for “static” IP addresses. To configure one or
both LAN ports to request an IP address dynamically, replace static with dhcp and then delete
the address, network, netmask, and broadcast lines.
Default Setting for LAN1 Dynamic Setting using DHCP
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.3.127
network: 192.168.3.0

iface eth0 inet dhcp

UC-7400-LX Plus User’s Manual Getting Started
2-6
Auto eth0 eth1 lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth1 inet dhcp
3. After the boot settings of the LAN interface have been modified, issue the following
command to activate the LAN settings immediately:
#/etc/init.d/networking restart
NOTE After changing the IP settings, use the networking restart command to activate the new IP
address. However, the LCM display will still show the old IP address. To update the LCM display,
you will need to reboot the UC-7400-LX Plus.
Modifying Network Settings over the Network
IP settings can be activated over the network, but the new settings will not be saved to the flash
ROM without modifying the file /etc/network/interfaces.
For example, type the command #ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 to change the IP address of LAN1 to
192.168.1.1.
root@Moxa:# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1
root@Moxa:/etc/network/#
Using IPv6 Command Utilities
Moxa provides several command utilities for IPv6, starting with firmware version v1.6. Here are
some examples to demonstrate how to use these commands.
