    WB2100EGB-01 (WiBox board only) WB2100EG0-01 (No power supply) Note: In this User Guide, we generally refer to the WiBox2100E as the WiBox. Applications The WiBox device server connects serial devices such as those listed below to wireless and Ethernet networks using the IP protocol family.

  • Page 11: Application Examples

    A PC connected to an AP via an Ethernet connection and a PC with a wireless connection to the AP LAN access the WiBox as though they are connected to it directly. The combination of the WiBox, a PC, and Lantronix’s Redirector software allows the PC to communicate directly to the WiBox’s serial devices, providing wireless serial tunneling.

  • Page 12: Ad Hoc Network

    In the example above, the WiBox communicates with another device server via the AP. The UDS device server, in this example, is connected via an Ethernet connection to the AP. In this way, the WiBox and the device server communicate directly and can transfer information between their serial devices. WiBox2100E User Guide...

  • Page 13: Ad Hoc Wibox Connection

    Serial & Telnet Ports: There are two approaches to accessing Setup Mode. Make a Telnet connection to the network port (9999) or connect a terminal (or a PC running a terminal emulation program) to the unit’s serial port. (See 5: Telnet or Serial Port (Setup Mode) Configuration.) WiBox2100E User Guide...

  • Page 14: Addresses And Port Numbers

    The hardware address is also referred to as the Ethernet address or the 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.
