User Manual

II. SETUP AND CONFIGURATION:

A. IP Settings and Configuration

1. Factory Default: Acquires IP address automatically via DHCP

2. Determine assigned IP address by one of the following methods: a. Access router table b. Download and run ESP RP-IP Discover Utility available on the Downloads tab here:

http://www.espei.com/products/remote-portal

c. Download and install Lantronix DeviceInstaller:

http://www.lantronix.com/device-networking/utilities-tools/device-installer.html

B. LAN Operation and Configuration

1. Using a web browser with JavaScript enabled, navigate to http://IPAddress/config where the IPAddress is the IP Address of the RP-IP.

a. When prompted for a User Name and Password, leave both fields blank and press

Log In.

b. Important: For any changes to be applied, press the OK button at the bottom of the

section, then press Apply Settings in the left hand menu, and finally wait for the RP-IP to reboot with new settings in place.

c. Home Page: View firmware and configuration information currently in use.

User Manual

2. Network Settings: View and change IP Configuration.

a. Select Obtain IP address automatically to automatically receive an IP address

(1) BOOTP: Select Enable to permit the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) server to

assign the IP address from a pool of addresses automatically. Enable is the default.

(2) DHCP: Select Enable to permit the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

to assign a leased IP address to the RP-IP automatically. Enable is the default.

(3) AutoIP: Select Enable to permit the RP-IP to generate an IP in the 169.254.x.x

address range with a Class B subnet. Enable is the default.

(4) DHCP Host Name: Enter the desired host name for the RP-IP.

User Manual

b. Select Use the following IP configuration to manually specify the IP address.

(1) IP Address: If DHCP is not used to assign IP addresses, enter it manually in

decimal-dot notation. The IP address must be set to a unique value in the network.

(2) Subnet Mask: A subnet mask defines the number of bits taken from the IP

address that are assigned for the host part.

(3) Default Gateway: The gateway address, or router, allows communication to other

LAN segments. The gateway address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same LAN segment as the unit. The gateway address must be within the local network.

(4) DNS Server: The DNS server allows the name of a remote machine to be

resolved automatically. Enter the IP address of the DNS server. 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.

c. SNMP

(1) Select Enable or Disable to enable or disable the SNMP protocol.

(2) SNMP Manager: Specify the IP address of the SNMP manager.

(3) The SNMP MIB may be downloaded on the Downloads tab on this page:

http://www.espei.com/products/remote-portal

d. Ethernet Configuration

(1) Auto Negotiate: With this option, the Ethernet port auto-negotiates the speed and

duplex with the hardware endpoint to which it is connected. This is the default.

(2) Speed: The speed of data transmission. The default is 100 Mbps. This option is

only available when Auto Negotiate is not enabled.

(3) Duplex: The direction of data transmission. The default is Full. This option is only

available when Auto Negotiate is not enabled.

User Manual

3. Server: View and change the embedded Server settings.

a. PCS Communication

(1) Mode: Select enVision (EV) or NextGen (XG) operational mode. (2) TCP Server Port: Specify the port for serial data.

b. Server Configuration

(1) Enhanced Password: Selecting this option enables advanced password

creation, allowing you to create passwords up to 16 bytes in length. Disabling this option disables advanced password creation, allowing you to create basic passwords up to 4 bytes in length.

(2) Telnet/Web Manager Password: Enter the password required for Telnet

configuration and Web Manager access.

User Manual

c. Advanced

(1) ARP Cache Timeout: When the unit communicates with another device on the

network, it adds an entry into its ARP table. ARP Cache timeout defines the number of seconds (1-600) before it refreshes this table.

(2) TCP Keepalive: TCP Keepalive time defines how many seconds the unit waits

during an inactive connection before checking its status. If the unit does not receive a response, it drops that connection. Enter a value between 0 and 60 seconds. 0 disables keepalive. The default setting is 45.

(3) Monitor Mode @ Bootup: Select Disable to disable entry into the monitor mode

using the 'yyy' or 'xx1' key sequence at startup. This field prevents the unit from entering monitor mode by interpreting the stream of characters that are received

during the device server's initialization at startup. (4) CPU Performance Mode: Do not adjust. Default is Regular. (5) HTTP Server Port: This option allows the configuration of the web server port

number. The valid range is 1-65535. The default port is 80. (6) Config Server Port: Not applicable. (7) MTU Size: The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is the largest physical packet

size a network can transmit for TCP and UDP. Enter between 512 and 1400

bytes. The default is 1400 bytes. (8) TCP Re-transmission timeout: The desired TCP re-transmission timeout value. If

the ACK is not received for a packet sent from the RP-IP device, then the unit will

retransmit the data. The valid range is 500-4000 msec. The default is 500 msec.

4. Apply Settings: Applies the currently specified settings.

5. Apply Defaults: Reset the unit to factory defaults. Will not modify IP settings.

C. WAN Configuration

1. To access the RP-IP Java applet from outside of the local network, the following 2 ports must be forwarded through the firewall to the internal IP address of the RP-IP:

a. HTTP Server Port (Default 80) b. TCP Server Port (Default 10001)

2. To access the RP-IP mobile page from outside of the local network, the following port must

be forwarded through the firewall to the internal IP address of the RP-IP:

a. HTTP Server Port (Default 80)
