TCP/IP Interface Module Installation
Installation of the TCP/IP Interface module consists of:
1. Verifying the module’s configuration (Complete the checklist in Appendix A at this time),
2. Installing the module in the TLS-300 console (page 4) or the TLS-350 console (page 6),
3. Performing setup of the module in the TLS (page 8), and
4. Setting up the module’s IP Address/Configuration using either Telnet (page 15) or a browser (page 23).
Verifying TCP/IP Interface Module Configuration
Key components of the TCP/IP Interface module are shown in Figure 1.
IMPORTANT! Write down the ethernet address from the label on the back of the TCP/IP
board. You will need to enter this number for the TCP/IP board’s hardware address in the
module’s IP Address/Configuration procedure later in this manual (also record the rev of the
board as it may also be needed).

TLS-300/PROPLUS CONSOLES
1. Open the left door of the console (see Figure 2). Verify that the battery backup switch is in the On position,
then turn Off power to the console.
2. Remove knockout blank from left bottom of console. Slide in the configured TCP/IP Interface Module until the
motherboard connector is snugly seated and the left edge of the module’s bracket is in the notch cutout in the
left side of the console. Attach securing screw from kit (see Figure 3). Leave the console door open.

9. Write down the ethernet address from the label on the LTRX XPort module (in this example, 00-20-4A-82-54-CD). You
will need this address for the TCP/IP module setup.
10. Also record the rev number (in this example A11). It may be needed for the TCP/IP module setup.

2. Installing the TCP/IP module in slots 1 - 3 (Preferred Location)
The TCP/IP module can be installed in any empty slot of the Comm bay card cage, but the module’s default
settings require that it be installed in slots 1 - 3.
If your console has a snap connector which secures the cover plate in the card cage, pull it out and lift out the
cover plate. If your console has “knockout” cover plates, open the printer door and insert a flat blade screw
driver in the slot provided in the front of the cover plate you are removing and twist it to break the front set of
metal securing tabs (ref item 2 in Figure 5). Once the front tabs are broken, carefully move the loosened end
of the plate up and down until the rear set of securing tabs break. Remove and discard the cover plate. Slide
the module into the open slot until the motherboard connector is snugly seated. Do not apply excessive force
when installing the module. With your thumb, push in the black retaining fastener on the end plate until it
snaps into the hole in the card cage.
3. Installing the TCP/IP module in slot 4 (Alternate Location)
If slots 1 - 3 are in use, or if you want to free up slots 1 - 3 for other modules, the TCP/IP module can be in-
stalled in slot 4. To use slot 4, you must move jumpers J2 and J3 on the module onto the 2 top pins, and con-
nect the cable from the kit (P/N 330020-425) to connector J1 on the TCP/IP module and to connector J6 on
the console’s ECPU board (see Figure 6).
If the TCP/IP module is installed in slot 4, the displayed slot number (X) will be 5.
4. Verify that the RJ-45 plug in the module’s bracket is accessible through the slot opening in the bottom of the
console.

5. When you are finished, make sure any unused slots in the Comm cage have a blank end plate installed. Leave
the console door open.
TLS Console Setup of the TCP/IP Interface Module
1. Close and secure the console front door. Restore power to the console.
2. You will need to know what version software is installed in the console to properly setup the TCP/IP module.
Press the front panel MODE key to access Diag Mode. Press FUNCTION key to access System Diagnostic:
Press the STEP key to view the software revision level:
Where YY equals the console’s installed software. For example, if the version is 123.02, the software version
is 23.

4. In Communications Setup, press STEP until you see Port Settings, then press ENTER to display the
message::
If necessary, press the TANK/SENSOR key until you see the message above, where X = the slot number in
which you installed the TCP/IP Interface Module, and Type = S-SAT.
For TLS-350/ProMax consoles only - if the TCP/IP module was installed in slot 4 of the
Comm Bay card cage, the displayed slot number (X) will be 5.
5. Depending on displayed board type (S-SAT) and the console’s installed software revision level, select the
Comm board setup parameters shown in Table 1 or Table 2 as applicable.
Connect a PC or Laptop to the TCP/IP Interface Module
There are two ways you can connect a PC to the module:
• Over a network (LAN, WAN), or
• Directly (requires a crossover cable)

CONNECTING TO THE TCP/IP INTERFACE MODULE OVER A NETWORK
1. Connect the desktop or laptop to the TCP/IP Interface Module as shown in Figure 7. Insert the RJ-45 plug of
the network CAT 5 cable into the RJ-45 connector in the end plate of the TCP/IP module.
2. Locate the 2 LEDs on the top edge of the RJ-45 connector on the module’s end plate (see Figure 8).
3. Depending on network connection speed, the left or right LED on the top edge of the RJ-45 connector should
remain ‘On’ when a proper connection is made (ref. Table 3).

1. Connect the laptop to the TCP/IP Interface Module as shown in Figure 9. Insert the RJ-45 plug of the ethernet
crossover cable into the RJ-45 connector in the end plate of the TCP/IP Interface Module.
Important! you must use an ethernet crossover cable.
2. Locate the 2 LEDs on the top edge of the RJ-45 connector on the module’s end plate (see Figure 8 on
page 10).
3. Depending on the network card installed in the laptop, the left or right LEDs on the top edge of the RJ-45
connector should remain ‘On’ when a proper connection is made as shown in Table 3.
4. Before entering the TCP/IP Interface Module’s IP Address enter a static IP Address in your connected laptop.
IP Address setup procedures for both Windows 7 and 10 are discussed in this section.
Setting Your PC’s IP Address for Direct Connect (Windows 7 and 10)

that is one digit off from the customer supplied IP Address that will be assigned to the console’s TCP/IP
Interface Module.
For example, if the IP Address for the TCP/IP module is 10.2.1.51, enter 10.2.1.50 for the laptop’s IP
Address. For the subnet mask, use 255.255.255.0, as shown in Figure 15. Leave the Default Gateway blank.

TCP/IP Module IP Address/Configuration Using Telnet
Overview
Telnet and ARP are utilities available in Windows operating systems and are used in the TCP/IP addressing
procedure:
Telnet - Telnet is a terminal emulation program for TCP/IP networks such as the Internet. The Telnet program runs
on your computer and connects your PC to a server on the network. You can then enter commands through the
Telnet program and they will be executed as if you were entering them directly on the server console. This enables
you to control the server and communicate with other servers on the network.
ARP - ARP is a TCP/IP protocol used to convert an IP address into a physical address (called a DLC address),
such as an Ethernet address. A host wishing to obtain a physical address broadcasts an ARP request onto the
TCP/IP network. The host on the network that has the IP address in the request then replies with its physical
hardware address. ARP will only work when the console and PC share the same subnet.
Port Number - This setting represents the source port number in TCP connections. It is the number that identifies
the channel for remotely initiating connections. The range of permissable port numbers is 1 - 65535, except for the
following reserved port numbers:
Do not use any of the reserved port numbers on any version of the TCP/IP board.
In addition to the IP address configuration instructions provided in this manual, it may also
be possible to use the Lantronix device installer found in the Lantronix website
(www.lantronix.com) to configure your TCP/IP module’s IP address.
