Lantronix MSS manual What’s New, Command Syntax

Page 7

1: Introduction

The Lantronix MSS family of Device Servers allows you to network-enable a variety of serial devices that were not originally designed to be networked: personal computers, terminals, modems, industrial machinery, and more. Certain MSS models offer fiber optic Ethernet, PC card support for 802.11, modem, and ATA Flash cards, and multiple serial ports, ensuring a product for almost any networking need.

This manual provides the complete command set for all products in the MSS family. These commands can be entered at the command line to configure the MSS to best meet your needs. While most basic MSS features can be configured using EZWebCon or ThinWeb Manager, the command line interface allows you to customize some of the more advanced features.

This chapter provides a brief introduction to the command line environment for the MSS.

What’s New on page 1-1describes what’s changed since the last revision of this manual.

Command Syntax on page 1-1provides the conventions used in the command diagrams and descriptions.

Command Line Editing on page 1-2lists the keys that should be used for line editing.

Help on page 1-3offers information on various types of context-sensitive help.

Note: Parts of this manual assume knowledge of the IEEE 802.11 Standard governing wireless networking. If you do not understand wireless networking concepts and implementation, please refer to the Standard or the documentation that came with your wireless networking PC Card.

Throughout this manual, the term MSS refers to the MSS family in general. If a particular feature or command applies only to certain models, it will be noted as such.

1.1 What’s New

Most commands now include either a Port or Server parameter. These parameters are only necessary if you are configuring an MSS4, which is the first member of the MSS family to have multiple configurable serial ports. The Port parameter allows you to configure port-specific options; the Server parameter applies to settings that affect the entire MSS.

The Disk commands provide a wide-range of disk management options for the MSS4, MSS100, MSSLiteX, and the MSS-VIA. Options for managing the internal flash disk and formatting ATA Flash cards are included under this command tree.

1.2 Command Syntax

Command line entry is both simple and powerful. Users can enter up to 132 characters on a command line, or abbreviate commands to a sequence of the smallest unique keywords (sometimes single characters). Commands are executed when the Return key is pressed or when the command line exceeds 132 characters.
