Power

The Spider is low enough in power consumption (under 4watts) to draw its power from
the attached computer. However, it requires all cables to be plugged in to receive
sufficient power. Plug in both USB cables, or USB plus PS/2 cables. The Pwr1 LED
indicates that power is available on the first USB port. The Pwr2 LED indicates that
power is available the second USB port, or the PS/2 ports. The Spider will not start up
until both Pwr1 and Pwr2 LEDs are on. It then begins to blink the SysOK LED, which will
continue to blink while the boot process continues. The Spider is Linux-based, and takes
about a minute to boot. When the SysOK LED is on steady, the Spider is up and ready to
communicate.
The Spider can also derive power from an external DC supply. DC supplies are available
from Lantronix under order number 520-085-R. The DC supply is most useful as a back-
up, as the Spider will otherwise lose power if the attached computer does.
In addition to power-on reset, the Spider can also be rebooted from the user interface,
from the serial port, or by clicking the reset switch through the pinhole on the back of the
body.
