Page 30: Incoming Logins
Incoming Logins Incoming Telnet logins are enabled by default. This behavior can be changed with the Change Server Incoming command and one of the following parameters: Telnet Enables Telnet logins None Disables Telnet logins For security reasons, you may wish to disable incoming logins. If it is undesirable to disable incoming logins, the MSS can be configured to require a login password for incoming connections with the Change Server Incoming Password command. -
Page 31: Serial Port Logins
Once you have connected to the MSS, you will see the Lantronix Web Manager interface. Use the left-hand menu to navigate to subpages where you can configure important settings as well as view statistics and other device server information. Figure 3-13.

Page 33: Outbound Connections
Outbound Connections When logged into the MSS, users can make basic outgoing connections using the methods described in this section. See the MSS Reference Manual on the CD-ROM for more information about incoming and outgoing connections. Note: Outgoing connections cannot be made via the same method as the incoming connection was made. -
Page 34: 4: Configuration
Overview Certain parameters must be configured before the MSS can function on the network. Although many users will prefer to use the EZWebCon graphical user interface, this chapter explains how to configure the MSS via the command line interface. Note: Instructions for using EZWebCon are included on the distribution CD-ROM. -
Page 35: Factory Defaults
Factory Defaults You should only restore factory default settings if you want to remove all custom configuration from the MSS, including password settings. To restore factory settings to the MSS: From the Local> prompt, enter the Initialize Factory command. From the Boot> prompt, enter the Flush NVR command. Press and hold the reset button down while cycling power to the unit. - Page 36 The MSS can be told which hosts are the gateways for the local network. If no gateway is specified, the MSS will listen to network broadcasts from gateways to decide which hosts are acting as gateways. The command below tells the MSS which host is the preferred gateway.
-
Page 37: Snmp
IP Security IP security allows the system administrator to restrict incoming and outgoing TCP/IP sessions and access to the serial port. Connections are allowed or denied based upon the source IP address (for incoming connections) or the destination IP address (for outgoing connections). -
Page 38: Ipx (Netware) Configuration
The MSS will respond to queries for unknown MIBs with a not in MIB error to the requesting host. SNMP Trap Support The MSS will generate limited forms of three of the SNMP traps. Traps are sent to a host when certain events occur on the MSS. - Page 39 The MSS can be restricted to a single frame format, in which case it will not do internal routing. Two commands control this behavior: Change NetWare Routing and Change NetWare Encapsulation. Change NetWare Routing enables or disables the use of the internal network number.
-
Page 40: Lat Configuration
LAT Configuration Note: The following section on LAT configuration applies to the MSS100 only. Three LAT parameters can be configured for the MSS: the device server’s identification string, its service group list, and its internal circuit timer. Server Identification The MSS has a default name that it uses when announcing itself to the LAT network (mss_xxxxxx where xxxxxx represents the last six characters of its hardware address). -
Page 41: Rs-485 Configuration
The maximum RS-485 network cabling length (without repeaters) is 4,000 feet. Lantronix recommends the use of shielded twisted-pair cabling. Note: A large number and variety of protocols run over RS-485. However, the MSS does not convert or interpret serial data. -
Page 42: Four-Wire Mode
line is available to receive again. At most baud rate settings, the timing delay is typically one character length with a maximum of 1.5 character lengths. Note: For 600 baud and 4800 baud operation, the timing delay is doubled. Figure 4-22: Enabling Two-Wire RS-485 Mode for MSS4 Local>... -
Page 43: Txdrive
MSS User Guide 4: Configuration TXDrive The MSS-VIA can be configured to always drive the TX (transmit) signal, or tri-state (transmit, receive, or ignore) when not actively transmitting. The Change RS485 TXDrive command takes one of two parameters. The Always parameter sets the MSS for continuous TXDrive, both high and low. -
Page 44: Serial Port Configuration
MSS User Guide 4: Configuration Figure 4-31: RS-422 Connection The MSS drives handshaking signals (CTS, RTS, DTR, DSR, and CD) at RS-232 level, and listens for those signals at RS-232 level. Serial Port Configuration The serial ports are set at the factory for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, one stop bit, and no parity. -
Page 45: Serial Data
Autostart can also be triggered by a specific input character. There is no default Autostart character; you will have to configure one. For example, when using Mode you may want to use A so that Autostart will happen as soon as an AT modem command is entered. -
Page 46: Baud Rate
The examples in Figure 4-40and Figure 4-41 can be visualized as: x x x xxx xx (data) x x xx xxxxxxxx xx xxx Z xx xxxx |-------------------------------------------------------| The complete syntax of the Change Port [Portlist] Datasend command is described in the MSS Reference Manual. -
Page 47: Flow Control
Applications that use Ctrl-Q and Ctrl-S will conflict with XON/XOFF flow control, in which case RTS/CTS is recommended. To switch between flow control methods, use the Change Port Flow Control command followed by the preferred method. If you do not wish to use flow control at all, specify None. - Page 48 Modem Control If a connection has ended, the MSS should be able to log out the port and prepare to accept a new connection. Similarly, if no connection is open, the MSS should know to ignore spurious characters from the port and only accept valid connection attempts. The MSS can do both of these when modem control is enabled.
-
Page 49: Logouts
Figure 4-57: Enabling DSRLogout for MSS100 Local>> CHANGE DSRLOGOUT ENABLED DTRWait Note: DTRWait is not available in RS-485 mode. Spurious characters from the modem may be interpreted as a user login, which could cause the port to be unavailable for connections. To avoid this behavior, the MSS uses the Data Transmit Ready (DTR) output line to signal the serial device that a connection is possible or acceptable. -
Page 50: Preferred Host
Preferred Host A default host for a port can be defined using the Change Port Preferred command. The MSS attempts to use the preferred host for connections when no service name is specified in a connection command. Figure 4-63: Defining a Preferred Service for MSS-VIA and MSS4 Local>>... -
Page 51: Enabling 802.11 Networking
Access Point, a device that relays communications between one or more wireless devices and possibly other devices on a network. APs are usually connected to a physical network. Note: If using an AP and WEP is not enabled, set the AP to accept Open System Authentication. -

Page 53: Network Mode
Network Mode There are two types of 802.11 networks: Ad-Hoc and infrastructure. In an Ad-Hoc network, devices communicate directly with one another on a peer-to-peer basis. In an infrastructure network (the default), several devices communicate with one or more APs, and the APs may or may not be connected to a physical Ethernet network. -
Page 54: Formatting An Ata Flash Card
Certain kinds of ATA flash memory and disk storage cards can also be used in the PC card slots. Before you insert any kind of card into the MSS, please check the Lantronix web site to make sure that your card is supported and read this section carefully. - Page 55 MSS User Guide 4: Configuration A properly installed modem card will be treated like an additional MSS serial port. If only one card is installed, it will always appear as Port 5. The Show Port and Logout Port commands will respond appropriately to the modem card ports. The modem ports will always have modem control enabled and should respond to a standard Hayes-style AT command set.

Page 57: Interactive Connections
TCP/IP Socket Connections Note: TCP/IP socket connections applies to MSS-VIA only. The MSS supports TCP/IP socket connections to ports 2001 and 3001. Note: Starting with firmware v3.6/8, the MSS-VIA supports socket connections to port 2002 and 3002 also (to reach the DB9 serial port). Opening a TCP session to a 300n port will form a raw TCP/IP connection to the serial port. -
