Appendix B - Lantronix WiPort NR Device Manager

The acquisition unit uses an embedded Lantronix Wi-Port module to provide

the low-latency network interface. The device can normally be accessed using
a web-interface as described in section 3.2 on page 7.

If this is not possible configuration of the interface can be carried out using
the Lantronix' DeviceInstaller utility for Microsoft Windows, using a DHCP
server or the via the serial port. You will need a PC with a network interface

installed or an RS232 connector.

Note: Refer to Appendix E on page 31 for information on connector

pinouts.

1.

Download and install the DeviceInstaller utility from the Lantronix Web
site at

www.lantronix.com

.

DeviceInstaller requires the Microsoft .NET framework to be installed. If

you do not have this already, it can be downloaded from:

www.microsoft.com

.

Note that DeviceInstaller will not work through routers or across the
Internet. All the devices need to be on the same network segment as the

PC.

2.

Find out the MAC address of the network interface. This should be

printed on a label on the case.

3.

Connect the 6-pin Ethernet port to the the PC's network interface either

using a crossover Ethernet cable or through a network hub. Note that
using a hub, you can connect several CD24s to the same PC and

configure them all at the same time.

4.

Use the power cable to connect the 4-pin power connector to a fused 10 –

28 V power source. A 12V DC power supply is recommended.

5.

Run DeviceInstaller.

DeviceInstaller's main window has two panels, a tree on the left (with
Lantronix Devices at the top) and a table on the right.

6.

The program will automatically look for Lantronix devices on all of your
computer's network interfaces. If necessary, you can narrow the

selection by clicking on an entry in the tree on the left. If the program
does not list the device, press F5 or use Device > Search from the menu

system.
