    1.0 Introduction The Model 458-3SL (3-Slot Chassis) is a compact, versatile unit that accepts 1, 2 or 3 line modules and controls from 1 - 24 channels. It is ideal for testing DSL modems and other bandwidth-compliant telecom devices in a high-volume production environment. While it can be used as a stand-alone unit, the built-in Control Module interfaces with a PC via RS-232, IEEE-488, or Ethernet.

    5.0 Enabling RS-232/Ethernet Controls Overview RS-232 commands may be sent over an Ethernet connection to control the Model 458-3SL. This is made possible by a Lantronix XPort transceiver installed in the unit. A one-time set up must be performed to assign an IP address to the transceiver and configure a virtual COM port. This is all done using a remote PC.
  • Page 20 In addition, note the MAC address of the XPort which is located on the back of the 458-3SL. This address allows the assignment software to locate the XPort. In some cases, firewall protection on the PC may interfere with the installation or assignment process.
