Lantronix LX6 Addresses and Port Numbers, Product Information Label, Hardware Address, IP Address

2: Introduction

XML: The XPort Pro Lx6 supports XML-based configuration and setup records that make device configuration transparent to users and administrators. XML is easily editable with a standard text or XML editor. (See the XPort Pro Lx6 Embedded Device Server Command Reference Guide for instructions and commands.)

Addresses and Port Numbers

Hardware Address

The hardware address is also referred to as the Ethernet address, physical address, or MAC address. Sample hardware address:

00-80-A3-14-1B-18

00:80:A3:14:1B:18

IP Address

Every device connected to an IP network must have a unique IPv4 or IPv6 address. This address references the specific unit.

Port Numbers

Every TCP connection and every UDP datagram is defined by a destination and source IP address, and a destination and source port number. For example, a Telnet server commonly uses TCP port number 23.

The following is a list of the default server port numbers running on the XPort Pro Lx6:

TCP Port 23: Telnet Server (Command Mode configuration)

TCP Port 80: HTTP (Web Manager configuration)

TCP Port 21: FTP

TCP/UDP Port 10001: Tunnel 1 (see note below)

Note: Additional TCP/UDP ports and tunnels will be available, depending on the product type. The default numbering of each additional TCP/UDP port and corresponding tunnel will increase sequentially (i.e., TCP/UDP Port 1000X: Tunnel X).

Product Information Label

The product information label on the unit contains the following information about the specific unit:

Bar code

Product Revision

Part Number

Hardware Address (MAC Address)

Manufacturing Date Code

Note: The hardware address on the label is the address for the Ethernet (eth0) interface. For example, if the product label hardware address is 00-80- A3-14-1B-18, then the Ethernet address is 00-80-A3-14-1B-18.
