2: Introduction

The UDS10 and UDS100 are single-port device servers that provide 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.

The main difference between the two models is that the UDS100 provides both half and full duplex 10/100 Ethernet data transfer, whereas the UDS10 provides only half duplex 10Base-T Ethernet. The technical specifications of the two products differ slightly as well. Unless otherwise noted, we refer to both products as the UDS.

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.

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.

Introduction

UDS10/UDS100 User Guide

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 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, leveraging 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.

(See DeviceInstaller on page 16.)

Web Manager: Through a web interface configures the UDS settings using the Lantronix Web Manager. (See 4: Configuring the UDS Using Web Manager.)

Serial and Telnet Ports: 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: Configuring the UDS Using Telnet or the Serial Port.)

UDS10/UDS100 User Guide

Getting Started

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 (see Product Information Label on page13).

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 device 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 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 A: Alternative Ways to Assign an IP Address.
