Lantronix XPort User Manual

Configuring the Unit
Hostlist: If you enable this option, the Lantronix unit 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 host list will be disabled for Manual Mode and for Modem Mode. The unit will not accept
a data connection from a remote device when the host list option is enabled.

Figure 4-5 - Hostlist Option
To use the Hostlist option, follow these steps:
1. To enable the hostlist, enter a Connect Mode of 0x20 (2X). The menu shows you a list of
current entries already defined in the product.
2. To delete, modify, or add an entry, select Yes. If you enter an IP address of 0.0.0.0, that
entry and all others after it are deleted.
3. After completing the hostlist, repeat the previous step if necessary to edit the hostlist
again.
4. For Retrycounter, enter the number of times the Lantronix unit should try to make a good
network connection to a hostlist entry that it has successfully ARPed. The range is 1-15,
with the default set to 3.
5. For Retrytimeout, enter the number of seconds the unit should wait before failing an
attempted connection. The time is stored as units of milliseconds in the range of 1-
65535. The default value is 250.
