2: Introduction
Troubleshooting Capabilities
The XPort Pro Lx6 offers a comprehensive diagnostic toolset that lets you troubleshoot problems
quickly and easily. Available from the CLI or Web Manager, the diagnostic tools let you:
View memory and IP socket information
Perform ping and traceroute operations
Conduct forward or reverse DNS lookup operations
View all processes currently running on the XPort Pro Lx6, including CPU utilization
View system log messages
Configuration Methods
After installation, the XPort Pro Lx6 requires configuration. For the unit to operate correctly on a
network, it must have a unique IP address on the network. There are four basic methods for
logging into the XPort Pro Lx6 and assigning IP addresses and other configurable settings:
Web Manager: View and configure all settings easily through a web browser using the
Lantronix Web Manager. (See “Configuration Using Web Manager” on page 18.)
DeviceInstaller: Configure the IP address and related settings and view current settings on
the XPort Pro Lx6 using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network. You
will need the latest version of Lantronix® DeviceInstaller™ utility. (See “Using DeviceInstaller”
on page 16.)
Command Mode: There are a few methods for accessing Command Mode (CLI): making a
Telnet connection or via the serial port (when configured accordingly). (See the XPort Pro Lx6
Embedded Device Server Command Reference Guide for instructions and available
commands.)
XPort® Pro Lx6 Embedded Device Server User Guide 13
XML: The XPort Pro Lx6 supports XML-based configuration and setup records that make
Note: The hardware address on the
label is the address for the Ethernet
(eth0) interface. For example, if the
product label hardware address is 00-80A3-14-1B-18, then the Ethernet address
is 00-80-A3-14-1B-18.
device configuration transparent to users and administrators. XML is easily editable with a
standard text or XML editor. (See the XPort Pro Lx6 Embedded Device Server Command
Reference Guide for instructions and commands.)
Addresses and Port Numbers
Hardware Address
The hardware address is also referred to as the Ethernet address, physical address, or MAC
address. Sample hardware address:
00-80-A3-14-1B-18
00:80:A3:14:1B:18
IP Address
Every device connected to an IP network must have a unique IPv4 or IPv6 address. This address
references the specific unit.
2: Introduction
Port Numbers
Every TCP connection and every UDP datagram is defined by a destination and source IP
address, and a destination and source port number. For example, a Telnet server commonly uses
TCP port number 23.
The following is a list of the default server port numbers running on the XPort Pro Lx6:
TCP Port 23: Telnet Server (Command Mode configuration)
TCP Port 80: HTTP (Web Manager configuration)
TCP Port 21: FTP
TCP/UDP Port 10001: Tunnel 1 (see note below)
Note: Additional TCP/UDP ports and tunnels will be available, depending on the product
type. The default numbering of each additional TCP/UDP port and corresponding tunnel
will increase sequentially (i.e., TCP/UDP Port 1000X: Tunnel X).
Product Information Label
The product information label on the unit contains the
following information about the specific unit:
Bar code
Product Revision
Part Number
Hardware Address (MAC Address)
Manufacturing Date Code

3: Using DeviceInstaller
This chapter covers the steps for locating a XPort Pro Lx6 unit and viewing its properties and
device details. DeviceInstaller application is a free utility program provided by Lantronix that
discovers, configures, upgrades and manages Lantronix device servers.
Notes:
For instructions on using DeviceInstaller to configure the IP address and related
settings or for more advanced features, see the DeviceInstaller Online Help.
Auto IP generates a random IP address in the range of 169.254.0.1 to
169.254.255.254, with a netmask of 255.255.0.0, if no BOOTP or DHCP server is
found. These addresses are not routable.
Accessing XPort Pro Lx6 Using DeviceInstaller
Note: Make note of the MAC address. It may be needed to perform various functions in
DeviceInstaller.
To use the DeviceInstaller utility, first install the latest version from the downloads page on the
Lantronix web site www.lantronix.com/downloads
1. Run the executable to start the installation process and respond to the installation wizard
prompts. (If prompted to select an installation type, select Typical.)
.
2. Click Start -> All Programs -> Lantronix -> DeviceInstaller 4.3 -> DeviceInstaller.
3. When DeviceInstaller starts, it will perform a network device search. To perform another
search, click Search.
4. Expand the XPort folder by clicking the + symbol next to the folder icon. The list of available
Lantronix XPort Pro Lx6 devices appears.
5. Select the XPort Pro Lx6 unit by expanding its entry and clicking on its IP address to view its
configuration.
6. On the right page, click the Device Details tab. The current XPort Pro Lx6 configuration
appears. This is only a subset of the full configuration; the full configuration may be accessed
via Web Manager, CLI or XML.

Web Manager Components
Navigating Web Manager
Accessing Web Manager
Note: You can also access the Web Manager by selecting the Web Configuration tab on
the DeviceInstaller application window.
To access Web Manager, perform the following steps:
1. Open a standard web browser. Lantronix supports the latest versions of Internet Explorer,
Mozilla Firefox, Safari or Chrome web browsers.
2. Enter the IP address or hostname of the XPort Pro Lx6 in the address bar. The IP address
may have been assigned manually using DeviceInstaller (see the XPort Pro Lx6 Embedded
Device Server Quick Start Guide) or automatically by DHCP.
3. Enter your username and password. The factory-default username is “admin” and “PASS” is
the default password. The Device Status web page displays configurations including network
settings, line settings, tunneling settings, and product information.

Web Manager pages have these sections:
The menu bar always appears at the left side of the page, regardless of the page shown. The
menu bar lists the names of the pages available in the Web Manager. To bring up a page, click it in
the menu bar.
The main area of the page has these additional sections:
Links near the top of many pages, such as the one in the example above, enable you to link to
additional subpages. On some pages, you must also select the item you are configuring, such
as a tunnel.
In the middle of many pages, you can select or enter new configuration settings. Some pages
show status or statistics in this area rather than allow you to enter settings.
At the bottom of most pages, the current configuration is displayed. In some cases, you can
reset or clear a setting.
The information or help area shows information or instructions associated with the page.
A Logout link is available at the upper right corner of every page. In Chrome or Safari, it is
necessary to close out of the browser to completely logout. If necessary, reopen the browser
to log back in.
The footer appears at the very bottom of the page. It contains copyright information and a link
to the Lantronix home page.
Navigating Web Manager
The Web Manager provides an intuitive point-and-click interface. A menu bar on the left side of
each page provides links you can click to navigate from one page to another. Some pages are
read-only, while others let you change configuration settings.
Note: There may be times when you must reboot the XPort Pro Lx6 for the new
configuration settings to take effect. The chapters that follow indicate when a change
requires a reboot. Anytime you reboot the unit, this operation will take some time to
complete. Please wait a minimum of 25-30 seconds after rebooting the unit before
attempting to make any subsequent connections.

5: Network Settings
The Network Settings show the status of the Ethernet interface/link and let you configure the
settings on the device. Interface settings are related to the configuration of the IP and related
protocols. Link settings are related to the physical link connection, which carries the IP traffic.
Notes:
Some settings require a reboot to take effect. These settings are noted below.
Wait a minimum of 25-30 seconds after rebooting the unit before attempting to make
any subsequent connections.
The blue text in the XML command strings of this chapter are to be replaced with a
user-specified name.

Note: This setting will be used if Static IP is active (both DHCP and BOOTP are
Disabled). Changing this value requires you to reboot the device. When DHCP or
BOOTP is enabled, the XPort Pro Lx6 tries to obtain an IPv4 address from a DHCP
or BOOTP server. If it cannot, the XPort Pro Lx6 generates and uses an Auto IP
address in the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx, with a network mask of 255.255.0.0.
Note: This setting will be used if Static IP is active (both DHCP and BOOTP are
Disabled).
