2. Getting Started

This section describes all the procedures for configuring your unit. For a short version, see

the Quick Start Guide. Go to the Lantronix web site for the latest firmware and release notes.

UDS-10 comes with Standard Tunnel Protocol and the UDS-10-IAP comes with the IAP

Standard Tunnel Protocol. Both versions are similar but cannot be interchanged. Standard

Tunneling is a serial communications protocol used by most Lantronix Device Servers. It can

be configured to Ethernet-enable most serial devices such as barcode scanners, weigh scales,

operator panels, data access devices, alpha numeric displays, and thousands of intelligent

serial devices. For UDS-10-IAP users, see Industrial Automation Protocols on page 1-5

Loading industrial protocols to a UDS-10-IAP, such as IAP Modbus Bridge, may remove the

web pages and change the configure dialogs. See the user manuals on individual protocols for

protocol specific settings and configuration dialogs. Protocol manuals are found on the

software CD. This section describes the setup and configuration dialogs for the Standard

Tunnel Protocol.

Note: The following information is based on the condition that a UDS-10 is loaded with

Standard Tunnel Protocol. The UDS-10-IAP with IAP Standard Tunnel Protocol may have

different options available.

2.1 Addresses and Port Number

2.1.1 Ethernet (MAC) Address

The Ethernet address is also referred to as the hardware address or the MAC address. The

first three bytes of the Ethernet Address are fixed and read 00-20-4A, identifying the unit as a

Lantronix product. The fourth, fifth, and sixth bytes are unique numbers assigned to each

unit. 00-20-4A-21-18-17 or 00:20:4A:21:18:17

2.1.2 Internet Protocol (IP) Address

Every device connected to an IP network must have a unique IP address. This address is used

to reference the specific unit.
