8: Setup Mode: Channel Configuration

 

Active Startup Mode

 

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If present, the port number must follow the IP address, must be

 

 

 

 

 

presented as a decimal number in the range 1-65535, and must

 

 

 

 

 

be preceded by a forward slash (ASCII 0x2F). The slash

 

 

 

 

 

separates the IP address and the port number. If you omit the

 

 

 

 

 

port number from a command string, the internally stored remote

 

 

 

 

 

port number starts a connection.

 

 

 

 

 

If a partial IP address is presented in a command string, it is

 

 

 

 

 

interpreted to be the least significant bytes of the IP address and

 

 

 

 

 

uses the internally stored remote IP address to provide the most

 

 

 

 

 

significant bytes of the IP address. If the IP address entered is

 

 

 

 

 

0.0.0.0/0, the device server enters Monitor Mode.

 

 

 

 

 

For example, if the remote IP address already configured in the

 

 

 

 

 

unit is 129.1.2.3, then an example command string would be

 

 

 

 

 

C3/7. (This would connect to 129.1.2.3 and port 7.) You may

 

 

 

 

 

also use a different ending for the connection string. For

 

 

 

 

 

example, C50.1/23 would connect you to 129.1.50.1 and port 23.

 

 

 

 

 

If an IP address does not follow the first command string

 

 

 

 

 

character (which is "C"), the subsequent character string is

 

 

 

 

 

interpreted as the host name and domain to be used in DNS

 

 

 

 

 

lookup. This character string can include a destination port

 

 

 

 

 

number as well. The port number can be preceded by either a

 

 

 

 

 

forward slash (/) or a colon ( : ).

Command String

 

 

 

Result if remote IP is 129.1.2.3 and remote port is 1234

 

 

C121.2.4.5/1

 

 

 

Complete override; connection is started with host 121.2.4.5,

 

 

 

 

 

port 1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

C5

 

 

 

Connects to 129.1.2.5, port 1234

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

C28.10/12

 

 

 

Connects to 129.1.28.10, port 12

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

C0.0.0.0/0

 

 

 

Enters Monitor Mode

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cwww.lantronix.com/80

 

 

 

Tries to connect to the Lantronix web server if the

 

 

 

 

 

 

<hostname:domain> (www.lantronix.com) is configured in the

 

 

 

 

 

 

DNS server database.

 

 

Autostart (Automatic

 

 

 

If you enable Autostart, the unit automatically connects to the

 

 

Connection)

 

 

 

remote IP address & remote port specified when the firmware

 

 

 

 

 

 

starts.

 

 

Hostlist

 

 

 

If you enable this option, the device server scrolls through the

 

 

 

 

 

 

hostlist until it connects to a device listed in the hostlist table.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once it connects, the unit stops trying to connect to any others.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If this connection fails, the unit continues to scroll through the

 

 

 

 

 

 

table until it is able to connect to another IP in the hostlist.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hostlist supports a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 12 entries.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each entry contains the IP address and the port number.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The hostlist is disabled for Manual and Modem Modes. The unit

 

 

 

 

 

 

does not accept a data connection from a remote device when

 

 

 

 

 

 

the hostlist option is enabled.
