Introduction
WiBox2100E User Guide 14
DeviceInstaller: This utility provides a GUI interface for assigning the IP address,
viewing the current configuration, and updating firmware. To use DeviceInstaller for
communication to a WiBox over a wireless network, the WLAN network settings must
be configured first. No such configuration is required for using DeviceInstaller over an
Ethernet network.
Addresses and Port Numbers
Hardware Address
The hardware address is also referred to as the Ethernet address or the MAC
address. The first three bytes of the Ethernet address are fixed and read 00-20-4A,
identifying the unit as a Lantronix product. The fourth, fifth, and sixth bytes are unique
numbers assigned to each unit.
Example: 00-20-4A-14-01-18
IP Address
Every device connected to an IP network must have a unique IP address. This
address references the specific unit. DHCP is enabled by default, and the WiBox
automatically accepts an IP address once the wireless settings are configured for the
wireless network.
WLAN Settings
Before the WiBox can communicate on an 802.11b/g wireless network, the WLAN
settings must match the wireless network. By default, the WiBox is set to Ad Hoc
network mode and its wireless network name (SSID) is LTRX_IBSS.
Port Numbers
Every TCP connection and every UDP datagram is defined by a destination IP
address and a port number. For example, a Telnet application commonly uses port
number 23. A port number is similar to an extension on a phone system.
The unit's serial channel (port) can be associated with a specific TCP/UDP port
number. Port number 9999 is reserved for access to the unit's Setup (configuration)
Mode window. Ports 0-1024 are reserved as well. (For more information on reserved
port numbers, refer to Port Number on page 52.)
