What to do if getting no response when trying to enter setup mode on Lantronix XPort Server using serial port?
If you get no response when trying to enter the setup mode on the Lantronix device server using the serial port, double-check the serial settings, ensuring they are correct. Confirm that Caps Lock is not enabled.
Why does 'Press Enter to go into Setup Mode' message appear, but nothing happens on Lantronix Server?
If the "Press Enter to go into Setup Mode" message displays when you Telnet to port 9999, but nothing happens when you press Enter, or your connection is closed, it's likely you didn't press Enter quickly enough. You have only 5 seconds to press Enter before the connection is closed. Telnet to port 9999 again, but press Enter as soon as you see the message.
What to do if Telnet window does not respond when assigning an IP address to Lantronix Server?
If the Telnet window doesn't respond when assigning an IP address to the Lantronix device server via port 1, you may have entered the Ethernet address incorrectly with the ARP command. Verify that the Ethernet address entered with the ARP command is correct, using only numbers 0-9 and letters A-F, separated by dashes in Windows/Unix or colons in some Unix versions.
Why can I ping Lantronix XPort but not Telnet to port 9999?
This issue may arise due to a few reasons: there might be an IP address conflict on your network, you might not be Telneting to port 9999, or the Telnet configuration port (9999) could be disabled within the server security settings. To troubleshoot, turn off the server, then use the DOS prompt on your computer to issue these commands: 'ARP -D X.X.X.X' (where X.X.X.X is the server's IP address) and 'PING X.X.X.X' (again, X.X.X.X is the server's IP address). If you receive a response, a duplicate IP address exists on the network. If you don't get a response, use the serial port to check if Telnet is disabled.
What to do if the 'No Connection With The Device Server' message displays when connecting to the Web Manager within the Lantronix Server?
If you see a "No Connection With The Device Server" message when connecting to the Web Manager, your computer may not be able to connect to port 30718 (77FEh) on the device server. Ensure that port 30718 (77FEh) is not blocked by any router on your network and that port 77FEh is not disabled within the Security settings of the device server.
What to do if Lantronix XPort does not communicate with serial device?
If your Lantronix device server isn't communicating with the attached serial device, the most likely reason is incorrect serial settings. The serial settings for both the serial device and the device server must match. The default serial settings for the device server are RS-232, 9600 baud, 8 character bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
Why can I ping, but not Telnet to Lantronix XPort Server on port 9999?
If you can ping the Lantronix device server but cannot Telnet to it on port 9999, there may be an IP address conflict on your network, or you might not be Telneting to port 9999. Another possibility is that the Telnet configuration port (9999) is disabled within the device server security settings. To resolve this: 1. Turn off the device server. 2. At the DOS prompt of your computer, issue the following commands: * `ARP -D X.X.X.X` (where X.X.X.X is the IP of the device server). * `PING X.X.X.X` (where X.X.X.X is the IP of the device server). 3. If you get a response to the PING command, there is a duplicate IP address on the network. If you do not get a response, use the serial port to verify that Telnet is not disabled.
What to do if DeviceInstaller shows 'No response from device' on Lantronix Server?
If you receive a 'No response from device! Verify the IP, Hardware Address and Network Class. Please try again.' message when assigning an IP address with DeviceInstaller, double-check the hardware address, IP address, and subnet mask you've specified. Ensure the IP address is valid for your subnet. Note that you cannot assign an IP address to a device server through a router.
What to do if no LEDs are lit on Lantronix XPort?
If no LEDs are lit, it suggests that the unit or its power supply is damaged. Try changing the power supply.
What to do if nothing happens when I press Enter after the message 'Press Enter to go into Setup Mode' on Lantronix XPort Server?
If nothing happens when you press Enter after seeing the message "Press Enter to go into Setup Mode," it means you didn't press Enter quickly enough. You only have 5 seconds to press Enter before the connection is closed. Telnet to port 9999 again, but this time, press Enter as soon as you see the message.
