Configuring Ethernet Settings - Biomark IS1001 Operation User's Manual

Configuring Ethernet Settings

Note: The optional Remote Communication Board is required to make an Ethernet connection.
This section describes how to properly configure the IS1001 reader's Ethernet module (XPort
module) so you can establish a remote Ethernet connection to the IS1001 reader. The module
has been pre-configured by Biomark prior to shipping so IS1001 reader is ready to be connected
to a LAN upon installation. Changes may be necessary, however, if a firmware upgrade becomes
available for the Lantronix XPort module or if your local network requires changes to the
configuration.
To perform these changes, an extended configuration utility is available from Lantronix called the
Lantronix DeviceInstaller. This free Windows-based application will scan your network for
Lantronix devices (the IS1001 reader uses Lantronix XPort Ethernet module) and will display the
devices it finds. For example:
This utility is available for download at:
http://www.lantronix.com/device-networking/utilities-tools/device-installer.html
The utility will allow you to:
•
Load the appropriate firmware.
•
Assign IP & other network specific addresses.
•
Load custom web pages.
•
Enable web-based configuration of the device server.
•
Ping or query the attached device(s) over the network.
•
Allow Telnet communication with the device(s).
•
View specific device data files.
Note: For additional information see the Lantronix XPort User Guide, available at:
