What to do if there is an IP address conflict on Lantronix Network Card?
- E
  Edward WilsonAug 14, 2025
  If you suspect an IP address conflict, power off the device server. Then, use the following commands in your computer's DOS prompt: 'ARP -D X.X.X.X' (replace X.X.X.X with the device server's IP address) and 'PING X.X.X.X' (again, using the device server's IP address). If you get a response from the ping command, it means there's a duplicate IP address on your network. If you don't get a response, use the serial port to verify that Telnet is not disabled.

Why is Lantronix Ethernet not working: wrong serial settings?
- M
  Maria WatsonAug 21, 2025
  If your Lantronix Network Card isn't working, it's likely due to incorrect serial settings. Ensure the serial settings for both the serial device and the device server match. The default settings for the device server are: RS-232, 9600 baud, 8 character bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
