  • Page 12 Chapter 1: Using This Guide Purpose and Audience This manual describes the Lantronix® XPress™ DR+ and XPress™ DR+W device servers. These device servers are members of the XPress family that work with Industrial Automation Protocols. The XPress DR+ W has wireless as well as wired capability.
  • Page 13 Help DeviceInstaller Online Help Provides information on using DeviceInstaller® to locate Lantronix devices on the network and configure IP addresses. "Live" tutorials on the Lantronix Explain and demonstrate assigning an IP address Web Site and setting up the unit and the Redirector.
  • Page 14 Information specific to the wireless version of the XPress DR+ unit is in Chapter 4: XPress DR+W. Note: In this User Guide we sometimes refer to the XPress DR+W as "the wireless unit" or the "wireless device server." Product Description The Lantronix XPress DR+ Industrial Device Server is a robust, feature-rich, and cost effective way to network-enable equipment in an industrial automation environment.
  • Page 15 XPress DR+. Figure 2-1. XPress DR+ (Front) Note: For a diagram and description of XPress DR+W, see Front Panel Description on page The XPress DR+ supports RS-232 through RJ45 connectors. It also supports RS-422/485 by means of screw terminals (Serial Port 2 only).
  • Page 16 For information about using any of the industrial communication protocols, see the specific protocol guides on the software CD or the Lantronix web site. Protocol firmware files are also on the CD. Note: Please check the Lantronix web site for newer versions that may become available.
  • Page 17 Standard Tunnel Protocol. XPress DR+ Application Examples Note: For XPress DR+W application examples, see Chapter 4: XPress DR+W. Using a method called serial tunneling, the XPress DR+ encapsulates serial data into packets and transports them over Ethernet. Using two XPress DR+ units, connected by a network, you can extend virtual serial connections across a facility or around the world.
  • Page 18 The hardware address is also referred to as the Ethernet address or MAC address. The first three bytes of the Ethernet address are fixed and read 00-20-4A, identifying the unit as a Lantronix product. The fourth, fifth, and sixth bytes are unique numbers assigned to each unit.
  • Page 19 Telnet connection to the network port (9999) or connecting a terminal (or a PC running a terminal emulation program) to the unit’s serial port. To use DeviceInstaller for communication to an XPress DR+W over a wireless network, the WLAN network settings must be configured first.
  • Page 20 The following diagram shows the basic connectivity of an XPress DR+ to the network and a serial device. The Lantronix-supplied P/N: 500-103 serial cable can be used on the RJ45 RS232 serial ports to connect the XPress DR+ to a PC or to a serial device that has a DB9M RS232 DTE interface.

  • Page 25 Chapter 3: Installation and Hardware Ethernet Interface The XPress DR+ includes a two-port unmanaged Ethernet switch with a future option to migrate to a managed solution. The internal IEEE 802.3-compliant Ethernet switch is non-blocking, using a 1K MAC address lookup table with store-and-forward architecture. The XPress DR+ supports auto-negotiation for 10Base-T or 100Base-TX in full and half-duplex modes, as well as automatic MDI/MDIX crossover, allowing use of both straight-through and crossed Ethernet cables.
  • Page 26 Chapter 3: Installation and Hardware Multi-Drop Ethernet Connections Although there are two Ethernet ports, the XPress DR+ only has one MAC address and IP address. Either port can be used as the primary connection with the other used to inter-connect other Ethernet devices or cascade from one XPress DR+ to another. Figure 3-7.
