b. Determine assigned IP address by one of the following methods:
iAccess router table
ii Download and run ESP RP-IP Discover Utility available on the Downloads tab here:
http://espsurgex.com/product/remote-portal/
iii Download and install Lantronix DeviceInstaller:
http://www.lantronix.com/device-networking/utilities-tools/device-installer.html
2. LAN Operation and Configuration

b. Network Settings: View and change IP Configuration.
i. Select Obtain IP address automatically to automatically receive an IP address
1) BOOTP: Select Enable to permit the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) server to assign the IP
address from a pool of addresses automatically. Enable is the default.
2) DHCP: Select Enable to permit the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
to assign a leased IP address to the RP-IP automatically. Enable is the default.
3) AutoIP: Select Enable to permit the RP-IP to generate an IP in the 169.254.x.x address range
with a Class B subnet. Enable is the default.
4) DHCP Host Name: Enter the desired host name for the RP-IP.

ii. Select Use the following IP configuration to manually specify the IP address.
1) IP Address: If DHCP is not used to assign IP addresses, enter it manually in decimal-dot
notation. The IP address must be set to a unique value in the network.
2) Subnet Mask: A subnet mask defines the number of bits taken from the IP
address that are assigned for the host part.
3) Default Gateway: The gateway address, or router, allows communication to other LAN
segments. The gateway address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same
LAN segment as the unit. The gateway address must be within the local network.
4) DNS Server: The DNS server allows the name of a remote machine to be resolved
automatically. Enter the IP address of the DNS server. If the device is DHCP enabled, the
DHCP server provides the DNS server IP address, which will override this configured value.
Note: This setting is applicable only in Manual Connection mode.
iii. SNMP
1) Select Enable or Disable to enable or disable the SNMP protocol.
2) SNMP Manager: Specify the IP address of the SNMP manager.
3) The SNMP MIB may be downloaded on the Downloads tab on this page:
http://espsurgex.com/product/remote-portal/
iv. Ethernet Configuration
1) Auto Negotiate: With this option, the Ethernet port auto-negotiates the speed and duplex with
the hardware endpoint to which it is connected. This is the default.
2) Speed: The speed of data transmission. The default is 100 Mbps. This option is only available
when Auto Negotiate is not enabled.
3) Duplex: The direction of data transmission. The default is Full. This option is only available
when Auto Negotiate is not enabled.

c. Server: View and change the embedded Server settings.
i. PCS Communication
1) Mode: Select enVision (EV) or NextGen (XG) operational mode.
2) TCP Server Port: Specify the local port for serial data.
3) TCP Remote Port: Specify the Remote Host port for serial data.
4) Auto Transmit: Enable/Disable the Auto Transmit feature. When enabled, enVision or NextGen
will automatically transmit data to the IP address specified in Remote Host. Contact
ESP/SurgeX for more details.
5) Active Connect: Specify how the RP should initiate an active connection to a Remote Host. None:
do not actively connect; With Auto Transmit: connect when auto transmit data segment received
from EV or XG; Auto Start: connect after booting up.

6) Remote Host: Specify the IP Address of the Remote Host.
ii. Server Configuration
1) Enhanced Password: Selecting this option enables advanced password creation, allowing you
to create passwords up to 16 bytes in length. Disabling this option disables advanced
password creation, allowing you to create basic passwords up to 4 bytes in length.
2) Telnet/Web Manager Password: Enter the password required for Telnet configuration
and Web Manager access.
iii. Advanced
1) ARP Cache Timeout: When the unit communicates with another device on the network, it
adds an entry into its ARP table. ARP Cache timeout defines the number of seconds (1-
600) before it refreshes this table.
2) TCP Keepalive: TCP Keepalive time defines how many seconds the unit waits during an
inactive connection before checking its status. If the unit does not receive a response, it
drops that connection. Enter a value between 0 and 60 seconds. 0 disables keepalive. The
default setting is 45.
3) Monitor Mode @ Bootup: Select Disable to disable entry into the monitor mode using the 'yyy'
or 'xx1' key sequence at startup. This field prevents the unit from entering monitor mode by
interpreting the stream of characters that are received during the device server's initialization
at startup.
4) CPU Performance Mode: Do not adjust. Default is Regular.
5) HTTP Server Port: This option allows the configuration of the web server port number. The
valid range is 1-65535. The default port is 80.
6) Config Server Port: Not applicable.
7) MTU Size: The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is the largest physical packet size a network
can transmit for TCP and UDP. Enter between 512 and 1400 bytes. The default is 1400 bytes.
8) TCP Re-transmission timeout: The desired TCP re-transmission timeout value. If the ACK is not
received for a packet sent from the RP-IP device, then the unit will retransmit the data. The
valid range is 500-4000 msec. The default is 500 msec.
d. Apply Settings: Applies the currently specified settings.
e. Apply Defaults: Reset the unit to factory defaults. Will not modify IP settings.
