  • Page 4: Introduction

    In the default condition, the network is configured as a DHCP client – dynamically obtaining an IP address. In order to configure the networking parameters, free tools from Lantronix are utilized. The steps for configuring the Strobecom II 4140 or OSPOC are outlined as follows and discussed in more detail in subsequent sections.

  • Page 5: Network Discovery

    Connect a Strobecom II 4140 or OSPOC to either your local network or directly to a computer. Start the Device Installer program. Before starting a search, it is recommended that the user verify that the proper network adapter is selected for the search process. This is done by selecting Tools->Options from the menu.

  • Page 6: Connecting Directly To A Computer

    Begin a search process by selecting the search button. The active search process will be shown via a progress bar at the bottom right of the program. When the Lantronix device on the Strobecom II 4140 or OSPOC is discovered, it should show in the window. An example of the Device Installer search result is shown in the following figure.

  • Page 7: Network Configuration

    Network Configuration Device Installer provides a simple process for assigning a static IP address to the StrobeCom II 4140 or OSPOC. Select the device to configure by clicking on it from the view in Device Installer (it will be highlighted). Click on the ‘Assign IP’ link in the window. The software will then guide the user in the process of assigning a static IP address to the device.

  • Page 8: Connecting To The Strobecom Ii 4140 Or Ospoc Using Ospsoft

    Connecting to the Strobecom II 4140 or OSPOC Using OSPsoft When connecting to the Strobecom II 4140 or OSPOC using OSPsoft, the network configuration must be known. In particular, the IP address is needed. For communications via OSPsoft on the network, the port to use is 10001.

  • Page 9: Troubleshooting

    3 Troubleshooting When troubleshooting connection issues with a Lantronix device or the 4140 and OSPOC devices, it is recommended that the device is physically accessible. Attempting to troubleshoot a remotely located device has reduced potential. The table below provides some basic troubleshooting support. Symptom Description Resolution...

  • Page 10: Recovering An Unknown Device

    Recovering an Unknown Device Recovering a Lantronix device with an unknown configuration cannot reliably be done via Device Installer. However, tools and methods are available that will help discover sufficient information to reach this device and configure it properly. A packet sniffer program such as Wireshark must be installed on the PC or laptop to perform this procedure.

  • Page 11: Examples Of Assigning A Static Ip Address To A Lantronix Module

    4 Examples of Assigning a Static IP Address to a Lantronix Module Preferred Methods of Assigning Static IP Addresses to Lantronix Devices There are two preferred methods for assigning a static IP address to a Lantronix device. These are preferred since they allow the device to be fully reachable once the new configuration has been applied. Both involve a DHCP server process that is configured to the final network configuration.

  • Page 12: Configuring The Static Ip Address From A Direct Connection To A Pc

    Configuring the Static IP Address from a Direct Connection to a PC When connecting directly to a PC or laptop, if the network adapter is configured to obtain an IP address automatically, as shown below, then a default Lantronix device should be discoverable. The reason is that both devices are waiting for an IP address.
  • Page 13 From a search process within Device Installer, the network adapter screen (Tools->Options) should look like the following figure. In this case, the Lantronix device should be both discoverable and reachable since both are on the same subnet (i.e. 169.254.x.x). Figure 6: Network Adapter IP Address for PC Set to Automatically Obtain One Getting Started Page 13...
  • Page 14 Since the Lantronix device is reachable, the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway may be configured via Device Installer. An example is shown below for a random configuration. Figure 7: Example Random Lantronix Network Configuration Select next to assign the network configuration to the Lantronix device. A warning will pop-up stating the desired address is not on the same subnet as the PC.
  • Page 15 To discover the Lantronix device, Device Installer must be connected to a network adapter configured to the same subnet. An example of this process is shown. The network adapter is first configured to the same subnet of the Lantronix device (or a superset of this), as shown in the following figure. Figure 8: Configuring the Network Adapter to the Example Lantronix Subnet Select the newly configured network adapter from the Tools->Options menu in Device Installer.
