  1. XPORT data writing procedure
  2. Forcing IP address in hardware way

In order to insert data into Xport device, you have to:

  1. Prepare connection cable with proper length and proper version. Draw your attention please that the cable for direct connection and for connection via switch or hub are different. The charts for both cables are available in document: User's Manual in appendix.
  2. Insert the KKO cart directly into MD110 magazine (without PCB extension module).
  3. Switch on network cable and press "reset" button.
  4. Note: Everytime after plugging in this cable, you must press reset button on the edge of the card!
  5. Switch off possible another Xport devices in your subnet.
  6. Install and run kClient application.
  7. Now, input any user level in kClient software.
  8. Now, enter into Settings option->bookmark Communication.
  9. Firstly, the XPORT device should be initialized (button: Xport initialize). Device will be searched and proper default values will be saved :
    - bouds 57600

NOTE! If autodetection procedure faults you will able to install DeviceInstaller software from manufacturer side - Lantronix Company (www.lantronix.com). This is software tool used for address autodetection and insertion all settings for the Xport device.


Forcing IP address in hardware way

Other mean to establish required IP address is to run special hardware procedure with jumpers. There are some addresses in different classes the can be set on the KKO card. Provide please following procedure :

IP address acording jumpers Z3,Z4 and Z5 :

Jumper Z2 Jumper Z3 Jumper Z4 Jumper Z5 IP address
closed closed open open 0.0.0.0 (DHCP)
closed open closed open 192.168.0.50
closed open open closed 192.168.1.50
