2: Introduction  
The UDS2100 is a 2-port device server that provides a quick, simple, and cost-  
effective way to bring the advantages of data accessibility and remote management  
to devices not currently connected to a network.  
Applications  
The UDS family of Device Servers allows serial devices, such as those listed below,  
to connect and communicate over Ethernet networks using the IP protocol family  
(TCP for connection-oriented stream applications and UDP for datagram  
applications).  
Security alarms  
Access control devices  
Fire control panels  
Time/attendance clocks and terminals  
ATM machines  
Data collection devices  
RFID readers  
Universal Power Supply (UPS) management units  
Telecommunications equipment  
Data display devices  
Virtually any asynchronous RS-232, RS422, or RS485 device  
Application Examples  
Using a method called serial tunneling, the UDS encapsulates serial data into  
packets and transports them over Ethernet. Using two UDS units, connected by a  
network, virtual serial connections can extend across a facility or around the world.

2: Introduction  
Figure 2-1. Serial Tunneling Example  
The Com Port Redirector software included on the product CD simplifies the  
integration process by extending the functionality of COM-port-based Windows™  
applications. Virtual COM ports, mapped to remote device servers on the network,  
can replace direct serial connections.

2: Introduction  
Protocol Support  
The UDS uses the Internet Protocol (IP) for network communications and the  
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to assure that no data is lost or duplicated and  
that everything sent to the connection arrives correctly at the target.  
Supported protocols include:  
ARP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, Telnet, TFTP, AutoIP, DHCP, HTTP, and SNMP for  
network communications.  
TCP, UDP, and Telnet for connections to the serial port.  
TFTP for firmware updates.  
IP for addressing, routing, and data block handling over the network.  
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for typical datagram applications in which  
devices interact with other devices without a point-to-point connection.  
Additional Features  
Modem Emulation: In modem emulation mode, the UDS can replace dial-up  
modems. The unit accepts modem AT commands on the serial port and then  
establishes a network connection to the end device. This arrangement leverages  
network connections and bandwidth to eliminate dedicated modems and phone lines.  
Built-in Web Server: The UDS includes a built-in web server for configuring the unit  
and displaying operating and troubleshooting information on the attached links to  
online support.  
Configuration Methods  
After installation, the UDS requires configuration. For the unit to operate correctly on  
a network, it must have a unique IP address on the network. There are three basic  
methods for logging into the UDS and assigning IP addresses and other configurable  
settings:  
DeviceInstaller: Configure the IP address and other network settings on the UDS  
using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network.  
Web Manager: Through a web browser, configure the UDS settings using the  
Lantronix Web Manager. (See 4: Configuration Using Web Manager.)  
Serial and Telnet Ports: Use Setup Mode, a command line interface. There are two  
approaches to accessing Setup Mode: making a 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. (See 5: Configuration via Telnet or Serial Port (Setup Mode).)

Required Information  
Before configuring the UDS, have the following information available:  
Hardware Address  
Take note of the unit’s hardware address (also known as the Ethernet or MAC  
address). It is on the product label, in the format: 00-20-4a-XX-XX-XX, where the XXs  
are unique numbers assigned to the product  
Hardware Address: 00-20-4a-_____-_____-_____  
IP Address  
The UDS must have a unique IP address on your network. This address references  
the specific unit. By default, the unit is DHCP-enabled and automatically assigned an  
IP address on DHCP-enabled networks. If you are assigning a static IP address, the  
systems administrator generally provides the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.  
Note: The factory default IP address is 0.0.0.0 to enable DHCP, BOOTP,  
and AutoIP. When the units boots, it sends a DHCP broadcast to try and get  
an IP address. If it receives no reply from a DHCP server, the UDS tries  
BOOTP. If the UDS does not receive a response from BOOTP, it reverts to  
an AutoIP address.  
IP Address:  
_______ _______ _______ _______  
Subnet Mask: _______ _______ _______ _______  
Gateway:  
_______ _______ _______ _______  
You have several options for assigning an IP address and related network settings to  
your unit. This chapter provides information about using the DeviceInstaller (graphical  
user interface) and serial port login (command line interface) methods.  
Note: For information about other methods of assigning the IP address, such  
as DHCP, AutoIP, ARP, and Telnet, see B: Alternative Ways to Assign an IP

5: Configuration via Telnet or Serial Port  
(Setup Mode)  
You must configure the unit so it can communicate on a network with your serial  
device. As an alternative to using a web browser, as described in the previous  
chapter, you can use the following procedures remotely or locally:  
Use a Telnet connection to configure the unit over the network.  
Use a terminal or terminal emulation program to access the serial port locally.  
The series of prompts at which you enter configuration settings is called Setup  
Mode.  
Note: Detailed information about other setup methods is available from your  
Lantronix Sales Associate.  
The unit’s configuration is stored in nonvolatile memory and is retained without  
power. You can change the configuration at any time. The unit performs a reset after  
the configuration has been changed and stored.  
This chapter tells you how to access Setup Mode and the general procedure for  
using it. To complete the configuration, continue with 6: Setup Mode: Server  
Note: The menus in the configuration chapters show a typical device. Your  
device may have different configuration options.

unit's serial port. The default serial port settings are 9600 baud, 8 bits, no  
parity, 1-stop bit, no-flow control.  
Note: The UDS always uses the above serial settings at bootup.  
2. Reset the UDS2100 unit by cycling the unit's power (turning the power off and  
back on). Immediately upon resetting the device, enter three lowercase x  
characters (xxx).  
Note: The easiest way to enter Setup Mode is to hold down the x key at  
the terminal (or emulation) while resetting the unit. You must do this  
within three seconds of resetting the UDS2100.  
At this point, the screen display is the same as when you use a Telnet connection. To

IP Address  
If DHCP is not used to assign IP addresses, enter the IP address manually. The IP  
address must be set to a unique value in the network. Enter each octet and press  
Enter between each section. The current value displays in parentheses.  
If DHCP is used, the third octet of the IP address sets the BootP/DHCP/AutoIP  
options. The following table shows the bits you can manually configure to force the  
UDS2100 to disable AutoIP, DHCP, or BootP. To disable an option, set the  
appropriate bit.

segment as the unit. The gateway address must be within the local network. The  
default setting is N (No), meaning the gateway address has not been set. To set the  
gateway address, type Y and enter the address.  
Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Part  
A netmask defines the number of bits taken from the IP address that are assigned for  
the host part.  
Note: Class A: 24 bits; Class B: 16 bits; Class C: 8 bits  
The unit prompts for the number of host bits to be entered, then calculates the  
netmask, which appears in standard decimal-dot notation (for example,  
255.255.255.0) when the saved parameters display. The default setting is 0.

Set DNS Server IP Address  
The DNS server allows the name of a remote machine to be resolved automatically.  
The default is N (No), indicating the DNS server address has not been set. To set the  
DNS server address, type Y. At the prompt, enter the DNS server address. If the  
device is DHCP enabled, the DHCP server provides the DNS server IP address,  
which will override this configured value.  
Note: This setting is applicable only in Manual Connection mode.  
Change Telnet Configuration Password  
Setting the Telnet configuration password prevents unauthorized access to the setup  
menu through a Telnet connection to port 9999 or through web pages. The password  
must have 4 characters. The default setting is N (No).  
An enhanced password setting (for Telnet access only) of 16 characters is available  
Note: You do not need a password to access the Setup Mode window by a  
serial connection.

6: Setup Mode: Server Configuration  
DHCP Name  
If a DHCP server has automatically assigned the IP address and network settings,  
you can discover the unit by using the DeviceInstaller network search feature or  
Monitor Mode (see 10: Monitor Mode).  
Note: When you enter Monitor Mode from the serial port with network  
connection enabled and issue the NC (Network Communication) command,  
you see the unit’s IP configuration.  
There are three methods for assigning DHCP names to the unit.  
Default DHCP Name: If you do not change the DHCP name, and you are  
using an IP of 0.0.0.0, then the DHCP name defaults to XX.XX.XX.XX  
(XXXXXX is the last 6 digits of the MAC address shown on the label on the  
bottom/side of the unit). For example, if the MAC address is 00-20-4A-12-34-  
56, then the default DHCP name is C123456.  
Custom DHCP Name: You can create your own DHCP name. If you are using  
an IP address of 0.0.0.0, then the last option in Server configuration is Change  
DHCP device name. This option allows you to change the DHCP name to an  
alphanumeric name (LTX in our example).  
Numeric DHCP Name: You can change the DHCP name by specifying the last  
octet of the IP address. When you use this method, the DHCP name is LTXYY  
where YY is what you chose for the last octet of the IP address. If the IP  
address you specify is 0.0.0.12, then the DHCP name is LTX12. This method  
only works with 2 digit numbers (01-99).

Warning: We recommend that you not use the reserved port numbers  
for this setting as incorrect operation may result.  
Use Port 0 for the outgoing local port to change with each connection. The port range  
is 50,000-59,999. Each subsequent connection increments the number by 1 (it wraps  
back around to 50,000).  
Only use this automatic port increment feature to initiate a connection using TCP. Set  
the port to a non-zero value when the unit is in a passive mode or when using UDP  
instead of TCP.  
Connect Mode  
Connect Mode defines how the unit makes a connection, and how it reacts to  
incoming connections over the network.  
Enter Connect Mode options in hexadecimal notation. The default setting is C0.  
Note: All bit positions in the table that are blank represent “don’t care” bits for  
that particular option, which can be set to either a 0 or 1 value.

b) Response  
Character Response  
A single character is transmitted to the serial port when there is a  
change in connection state:  
C = connected, D = disconnected, N = host unreachable.  
This option is overridden when the Active Start Modem Mode or  
Active Start Host List is in effect. Default setting is Nothing  
(quiet).  
This option is overridden when the Active Start Modem Mode or  
Active Start Host List is in effect. Default setting is Nothing

c) Active Startup  
No Active Startup  
Does not attempt to initiate a connection under any  
circumstance. Default setting.  
With Any Character  
Attempts to connect when any character is received from the  
serial port.  
With active Modem  
Control In  
Attempts to connect when the Modem Control In input changes  
from not asserted to asserted.  
With a Specific Start  
Character  
Attempts to connect when it receives a specific start character  
from the serial port. The default start character is carriage return.  
Manual Connection  
Attempts to connect when directed by a command string  
received from the serial port. The first character of the command  
string must be a C (ASCII 0x43), and the last character must be  
either a carriage return (ASCII 0x0D) or a line feed (0x0A). No  
blanks or space characters may be in the command string.  
Between the first and last command string characters must be a  
full or partial destination IP address and may be a destination  
port number.  
The IP address must be in standard decimal-dot notation and  
may be a partial address, representing the least significant 1, 2,  
or 3 bytes of the remote IP address. The period is required  
between each pair of IP address numbers.  
If present, the port number must follow the IP address, must be  
presented as a decimal number in the range 1-65535, and must  
be preceded by a forward slash (ASCII 0x2F). The slash  
separates the IP address and the port number. If you omit the  
port number from a command string, the internally stored remote  
port number starts a connection.  
If a partial IP address is presented in a command string, it is  
interpreted to be the least significant bytes of the IP address and  
uses the internally stored remote IP address to provide the most  
significant bytes of the IP address. If the IP address entered is  
0.0.0.0/0, the device server enters Monitor Mode.  
For example, if the remote IP address already configured in the  
unit is 129.1.2.3, then an example command string would be  
C3/7. (This would connect to 129.1.2.3 and port 7.) You may  
also use a different ending for the connection string. For  
example, C50.1/23 would connect you to 129.1.50.1 and port 23.

7: Setup Mode: Channel Configuration  
If an IP address does not follow the first command string  
character (which is "C"), the subsequent character string is  
interpreted as the host name and domain to be used in DNS  
lookup. This character string can include a destination port  
number as well. The port number can be preceded by either a  
forward slash (/) or a colon ( : ).

Autostart (Automatic  
Connection)  
If you enable Autostart, the unit automatically connects to the  
remote IP address and remote port specified when the firmware  
starts.  
Hostlist  
If you enable this option, the device server scrolls through the  
hostlist until it connects to a device listed in the hostlist table.  
Once it connects, the unit stops trying to connect to any others. If  
this connection fails, the unit continues to scroll through the table  
until it is able to connect to another IP in the hostlist. Hostlist  
supports a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 12 entries. Each  
entry contains the IP address and the port number.  
The hostlist is disabled for Manual and Modem Modes. The unit  
does not accept a data connection from a remote device when  
the hostlist option is enabled.

1. Enter a Connect Mode of 0x20 (2X), where X is 1-5. 1=start with any character,  
2=with active Modem Control In, 3=with carriage return, 4=manual connection,  
5=autostart. The menu shows you a list of current entries already defined in the  
product.  
2. To delete, modify, or add an entry, select Yes. If you enter an IP address of  
0.0.0.0, that entry and all others after it are deleted.  
3. After completing the hostlist, repeat the previous step if necessary to edit the  
hostlist again.  
4. For Retrycounter, enter the number of times the Lantronix unit should try to  
make a good network connection to a hostlist entry that it has successfully  
ARPed. The range is 1-15, with the default set to 3.  
5. For Retrytimeout, enter the number of seconds the unit should wait before  
failing an attempted connection. The time is stored as units of milliseconds in the  
range of 10-65535. The default setting is 250.  
d) Datagram Type  
Directed UDP  
When selecting this option, you are prompted for the Datagram type.  
Enter 01 for directed or broadcast UDP. Datagrams of type 01 can be  
sent as a broadcast by enabling the Send as Broadcast option. The  
default is not to broadcast.

7: Setup Mode: Channel Configuration  
When the UDP option is in effect, the unit never attempts to initiate a  
TCP connection because it uses UDP datagrams to send and receive  
data.  
e) Modem Mode  
In Modem (Emulation) Mode, the unit presents a modem interface to the attached  
serial device. It accepts AT-style modem commands and handles the modem signals  
correctly.  
Normally, there is a modem connected to a local PC and a modem connected to a  
remote machine. A user must dial from the local PC to the remote machine,  
accumulating phone charges for each connection. Modem Mode allows you to  
replace modems with UDS2100s, and to use an Ethernet connection instead of a  
phone call. By not having to change communications applications, you avoid  
potentially expensive phone calls.  
To select Modem Mode, set the Connect Mode to C6 (no echo), D6 (echo with full  
verbose), D7 (echo with numeric response), CF (modem responses only, numeric  
response), or CE (modem responses only, full verbose).  
Note: If the unit is in Modem Mode, and the serial port is idle, the unit can  
still accept network TCP connections to the serial port if Connect Mode is set  
to C6 (no echo), D6 (echo with full verbose), D7 (echo with numeric  
response, CF (modem responses only, numeric response), or CE (modem  
responses only, full verbose).  
Without Echo  
In Modem Mode, echo refers to the echo of all of the characters  
entered in command mode; it does not mean to echo data that is  
transferred. Quiet Mode (without echo) refers to the modem not  
sending an answer to the commands received (or displaying what  
was typed).  
Data Echo & Modem

Received commands must begin with the two-character sequence AT and be  
terminated with a carriage return character.  
The unit ignores any character sequence received not starting with AT, and only  
recognizes and processes single AT-style commands. The unit treats compound AT  
commands as unrecognized commands.  
If the Full Verbose option is in effect, the unit responds to an unrecognized  
command string that is otherwise formatted correctly (begins with AT and ends with  
carriage return) with the "OK" message and takes no further action.  
If the Numeric Response option is in effect, the unit responds to an unrecognized  
command string that is otherwise formatted correctly with a "0" message and takes  
no further action.  
When an active connection is in effect, the unit transfers data and does not process  
commands received from the serial interface.  
When a connection is terminated or lost, the unit reverts to command mode.  
When an active connection is in effect, the unit terminates the connection if it  
receives the following sequence from the attached serial device:  
No serial data is received for one second.  
The character sequence +++ is received, with no more than one second  
between each two characters.  
No serial data is received for one second after the last + character. At this time,  
the unit responds affirmatively per the selected echo/response mode.  
The character string ATH is received terminated with a carriage return. The  
unit responds affirmatively according to the selected echo/response mode and  
drops the network connection. The serial interface reverts to accepting  
command strings.  
If this sequence is not followed, the unit remains in data transfer mode.

Note: This option does not display when Hostlist is enabled from the  
ConnectMode prompt (see Connect Mode on page 44 for more information).  
Remote Port  
You must set the remote TCP port number for the unit to make outgoing connections.  
This parameter defines the port number on the target host to which a connection is  
attempted.  
To connect an ASCII terminal to a host using the unit for login purposes, use the  
remote port number 23 (Internet standard port number for Telnet services).  
Note: This option does not display when Hostlist is enabled from the  
ConnectMode prompt (see Connect Mode on page 44 for more information).  
DisConnMode  
This setting determines the conditions under which the unit will cause a network  
connection to terminate. The default setting is 00.

Pack Control  
The packing algorithms define how and when packets are sent to the network. The  
standard algorithm is optimized for applications in which the unit is used in a local

packet count low. The alternate packing algorithm minimizes the packet count on the  
network and is especially useful in applications in a routed Wide Area Network  
(WAN). Adjusting parameters in this mode can economize the network data stream.  
Pack control settings are enabled in Flush Mode. Set this value to 00 if you do not  
need specific functions.  
Note: All bit positions in the table that are blank represent “don’t care” bits for

Packing Interval  
Packing Interval defines how long the unit should wait before sending accumulated  
characters. This wait period is between successive network segments containing  
data. For alternate packing, the default interval is 12 ms.  
Trailing Characters  
In some applications, CRC, Checksum, or other trailing characters follow the end-of-  
sequence character; this option helps to adapt frame transmission to the frame  
boundary. The default setting is 00 (none).  
Send Characters  
If 2-Byte Send Character Sequence is enabled, the unit interprets the  
sendchars as a 2-byte sequence; if this option is not enabled, the unit  
interprets them independently. The default setting is 0 (disabled).  
If Send Immediately After Characters is not set, any characters already in  
the serial buffer are included in the transmission after a "transmit" condition is  
found. If this option is set, the unit sends immediately after recognizing the  
transmit condition (sendchar or timeout). The default setting is 0.

7: Setup Mode: Channel Configuration  
Note: A transmission might occur if status information needs to be  
exchanged or an acknowledgment needs to be sent.  
DisConnTime (Inactivity Timeout)  
Use this parameter to set an inactivity timeout. The unit drops the connection if there  
is no activity on the serial line before the set time expires. Enter time in the format  
mm:ss, where m is the number of minutes and s is the number of seconds.  
To disable the inactivity timeout, enter 00:00. Range is 0 (disabled) to 5999 seconds  
(99 minutes, 59 seconds). Default setting is 0.  
Send Characters  
Enter up to two characters in hexadecimal representation in sendchar.  
If the unit receives a character on the serial line that matches one of these  
characters, it sends the character immediately, along with any awaiting characters, to  
the TCP connection. This action minimizes the response time for specific protocol  
characters on the serial line (for example, ETX, EOT). Setting the first sendchar to 00  
disables the recognition of the characters. Alternatively, the unit can interpret two  
characters as a sequence (see Pack Control on page 53). The default setting is 00.  
Telnet Terminal Type  
This parameter displays only if you enabled the terminal type option in Disconnect  
Mode. With this option enabled, you can use the terminal name for the Telnet  
terminal type. Enter only one name.  
With terminal type option enabled, the unit also reacts to the EOR (end of record) and  
binary options, useful for applications like terminal emulation to IBM hosts.  
Channel (Port) Password  
This parameter appears only if the channel (port) password option is enabled in  
Disconnect Mode. With this option enabled, you can set a password on the serial  
port. There is no default password.

setting is 45.  
ARP Cache timeout in seconds  
Whenever the unit communicates with another device on the network, it adds an  
entry into its ARP table. The ARP Cache timeout option allows you to define how  
many seconds (1-600) the unit will wait before timing out this table. The default  
setting is 600.

9: Firmware Upgrades  
Obtaining Firmware  
You can obtain the most up-to-date firmware and release notes for the unit from the  
Lantronix web site (www.lantronix.com) or by using anonymous FTP  
Reloading Firmware  
There are several ways to update the unit's internal operational code (*.ROM): using  
DeviceInstaller (the preferred way), using TFTP, or using the serial port. You can also  
update the unit's internal Web interface (*.COB) using TFTP or DeviceInstaller.  
Here are typical names for those files. Check the Lantronix web site for the latest  
versions and release notes.  
Table 9-1. Firmware Files

COB  
UDS2100_6102.rom  
UDS2100_webm_1403.cob  
Please refer to the DeviceInstaller online Help for information about reloading  
firmware using DeviceInstaller. The other methods are discussed below.  
Using TFTP: Graphical User Interface  
To download new firmware from a computer:  
1. Use a TFTP client to send a binary file to the unit (*.ROM to upgrade the unit's  
internal operational code and *.COB to upgrade its internal Web interface).  
Note: TFTP requires the .ROM (binary) version of the unit's internal  
operational code.  
2. In the TFTP server field, enter the IP address of the unit being upgraded.  
3. Select Upload operation and Binary format.  
4. Enter the full path of the firmware file in the Local file name field.  
5. In the Remote file name field, enter the current internal operational code (U4) or  
WEB1 to WEB19 for the internal Web interface.  
6. Click the Upload Now button to transfer the file to the unit.

A 0> prompt indicates that you have successfully entered Monitor Mode.  
Monitor Mode Commands  
The following commands are available in Monitor Mode. Many commands have an IP  
address as an optional parameter (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). If you enter the IP address, the  
command is applied to another unit with that IP address. If you do not enter the IP  
address, the command is executed locally.  
Note: All commands must be in capital letters. Responses to some of the  
commands are in Intel Hex format.

B: Alternative Ways to Assign an IP Address  
Earlier chapters describe how to assign a static IP address using DeviceInstaller,  
Web Manager, and Setup Mode (through a Telnet or serial connection). This section  
covers other methods for assigning an IP address over the network.  
DHCP  
The unit ships with a default IP address of 0.0.0.0, which automatically enables  
DHCP. If a DHCP server exists on the network, it provides the unit with an  
IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask when the unit boots up.  
You can use the DeviceInstaller software to search the network for the DHCP-  
assigned IP address and add it to the list of devices retrieved.  
Note: This DHCP address does not appear in the unit’s Setup Mode or in  
Web Manager. You can determine your unit’s DHCP-assigned IP address in  
Monitor Mode. When you enter Monitor Mode from the serial port with  
network connection enabled and issue the NC (Network Communication)  
command, you see the unit’s IP configuration.  
AutoIP  
The unit ships with a default IP address of 0.0.0.0, which automatically enables  
Auto IP within the unit. AutoIP is an alternative to DHCP that allows hosts to obtain  
an IP address automatically in smaller networks that may not have a DHCP server. A  
range of IP addresses (from 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.1) has been explicitly  
reserved for AutoIP-enabled devices. Do not use this range of Auto IP addresses  
over the Internet.  
If your unit cannot find a DHCP server, and you have not manually assigned an  
IP address to it, the unit automatically selects an address from the AutoIP  
reserved range. Then, your unit sends out a (ARP) request to other nodes on  
the same network to see whether the selected address is being used.  
If the selected address is not in use, then the unit uses it for local subnet  
communication.  
If another device is using the selected IP address, the unit selects another  
address from the AutoIP range and reboots. After reboot, the unit sends out  
another ARP request to see if the selected address is in use, and so on.  
AutoIP does not replace DHCP. The unit continues to look for a DHCP server on the  
network. If it finds a DHCP server, the unit switches to the DHCP server-provided  
address and reboots.  
Note: If a DHCP server is found, but it denies the request for an IP address,  
the unit does not attach to the network, but waits and retries.  
AutoIP can be disabled by setting the unit’s IP address to 0.0.1.0. This setting  
enables DHCP but disables AutoIP.

B: Alternative Ways to Assign an IP Address  
BOOTP  
Similar to DHCP, but for smaller networks. Automatically assigns the IP address for a  
specific duration of time.  
ARP and Telnet  
If the unit has no IP address, you can use Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)  
method from UNIX and Windows-based systems to assign a temporary IP address.  
To assign a temporary IP address:  
1. On a UNIX or Windows-based host, create an entry in the host's ARP table  
using the intended IP address and the hardware address of the unit (on the  
product label on the bottom of the unit).  
arp -s 191.12.3.77 00:20:4a:xx:xx:xx (Unix)  
arp -s 191.12.3.77 00-20-4a-xx-xx-xx (Windows)  
Note: For the ARP command to work on Windows 95, the ARP table  
on the PC must have at least one IP address defined other than its  
own.  
2. If you are using Windows 95, type ARP -A at the DOS command prompt to  
verify that there is at least one entry in the ARP table. If the local machine is  
the only entry, ping another IP address on your network to build a new entry  
in the ARP table; the IP address must be a host other than the machine on  
which you are working. Once there is at least one additional entry in the ARP  
table, use the following command to ARP an IP address to the unit:  
arp -s 191.12.3.77 00-20-4a-xx-xx-xx  
3. Open a Telnet connection to port 1. The connection fails quickly, but the unit  
temporarily changes its IP address to the one designated in this step.  
telnet 191.12.3.77 1  
4. Open a Telnet connection to port 9999, and press Enter within five seconds  
to go into Setup Mode. If you wait longer than five seconds, the unit reboots.  
telnet 191.12.3.77 9999  
Note: The IP address you just set is temporary and reverts to the default  
value when the unit’s power is reset, unless you configure the unit with a  
static IP address and store the changes permanently.

C: Binary to Hexadecimal Conversions  
Many of the unit’s configuration procedures require assembling a series of options  
(represented as bits) into a complete command (represented as a byte). Convert the  
resulting binary value to a hexadecimal representation.  
Converting Binary to Hexadecimal  
Following are two simple ways to convert binary numbers to hexadecimals.  
Conversion Table  
Hexadecimal digits have values ranging from 0 to F, which are represented as 0-9, A  
(for 10), B (for 11), etc. To convert a binary value (for example, 0100 1100) to a  
hexadecimal representation, the upper and lower four bits are treated separately,  
resulting in a two-digit hexadecimal number (in this case, 4C). Use the following table  
to convert values from binary to hexadecimal.

C: Binary to Hexadecimal Conversions  
Scientific Calculator  
Another simple way to convert binary to hexadecimals is to use a scientific calculator,  
such as the one available on Windows’ operating systems. For example:  
1. On the Windows’ Start menu, click ProgramsAccessoriesCalculator.  
2. On the View menu, select Scientific. The scientific calculator displays.  
3. Select Bin (Binary), and type the number to convert.  
4. Click Hex. The hexadecimal value displays.
