This quick start guide shows how to set up and configure the Lantronix XPort Universal Demo Board via network or serial connection.
The Quick Start guide walks you through the initial connection of the XPort Universal Demo Board, either through an Ethernet network or a serial port. It includes a list of the kit contents, required hardware, and the steps to power up the board.
After the hardware is connected, the guide explains how to install Lantronix DeviceInstaller, assign an IP address (DHCP, AutoIP, or static), and use the Web Manager or command‑line interface for configuration. It also provides serial‑port settings and instructions for accessing the device via a terminal program.
| Part Number | 900-559 Revision B |
|---|---|
| Default IP assignment | DHCP or AutoIP (169.254.xxx.xxx) |
| Serial port settings | 9600 8N1 (9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit) |
Use DeviceInstaller, select “Assign a specific IP address,” and enter the desired address; the subnet mask is filled in automatically.
Use the serial method: connect a null‑modem cable between the PC and the board, then access the CLI with the specified serial settings.
Lantronix DeviceInstaller (version 4.3.0.8 or higher) is used to set IP parameters and launch the Web Manager.
