If you do not use a router or do not wish to route packets from the CD24, enter at this prompt. If your network uses a router, enter at the “Set Gateway IP Address” prompt: you will be prompted to enter details of your network's default router. If you wish to use DHCP, enter for each of these values if not, enter the desired static IP address. You will next be prompted for the IP address, as four separate values. You may be prompted for the network mode: in this case, select for wired only. To configure the network (Ethernet) interface, select option from the top-level menu. Enter F7 at this prompt and then key “Enter” at the remaining prompts. Next, select option from the top-level menu and, if necessary, enter the chosen baud rate at the first prompt key “Enter” at the next prompts, retaining the default settings, until prompted for FlushMode. To be sure of the correct configuration, first select option from the top-level menu to restore factory default settings.
(The same baud rate must then be configured in the digitiser or digital instrument, typically by using the BAUD command from the digitiser's command line: see the relevant manual for more details.) If a non-standard baud rate is desired, it should also be configured at this point.
The factory defaults for the serial settings for channel two do not provide the most efficient Ethernet utilisation and should be changed: the FlushMode should be set to F7. Serial channel two is connected internally to the DATA IN port and is used for all data transmission when the unit is connected via a network. No changes to settings will take effect unless option is taken afterwards. After all the settings for any given section are configured, the user is returned to the top-level menu, as shown above. The current value is always offered as a default and this can always be selected by pressing the Enter key.
Throughout the configuration interface, the user is prompted for a series of configuration settings in turn. It is normally advisable to reset the unit to its factory defaults by selecting option from this menu. Press “Enter” and the Lantronix module will display a set-up menu, as shown below (details may vary): After a delay, t he MAC address will be displayed. Hold down the key in the emulator and, while keeping it held down, turn on the power supply to the Serial Server / 72-hour UPS. Start the emulator and configure it as in the preceding section.
With the power supply turned off, connect the cable between the Serial Server / 72-hour UPS and the power supply, then connect the auxiliary port to the PC running the terminal emulator using a standard serial cable. The terminal emulator should be configured for: 5.1 Getting started 5.1.1 Emulator settings A terminal emulator, such as Scream or PuTTY (for Windows) or minicom (for Linux) is required. If, for any reason, this is not convenient, the unit can also be configured using a menu system accessed via the auxialiary serial port. It is normally simple to configure your Serial Server / 72-hour UPS using DeviceInstaller and the web interface. Previous Next 1. Preliminary Notes 2. Introduction 3.
