Lantronix 4100, 2100 Installing the UBox Software

3: Installing the UBox

UBox User Guide 13

Both the UBox 2100 and UBox 4100 have the same three NETWORK status

indicators. The UBox 4100 has three (one green and two red) “SYSTEM indicators,

while the UBox 2100 has four (one green, two amber and one red). For both models,

the green has the same meaning. The UBox 2100’s two amber are equivalent to the

UBox 4100’s two red. The additional red indicator on the UBox 2100 indicates errors.

Troubleshooting

 You may see red lights on the UBox 4100 or amber lights on the UBox 2100

at this point in the installation. This is normal until you install the UBox

software on at least one computer.

 If you do not see the USB lights turn on or do not have a blinking green

SYSTEM light, please proceed to Troubleshooting: Status Lights on page 49.

The UBox hardware installation is now complete. Please proceed to the UBox

software installation instructions.
