Chapter 5. Appendices

5.1 Appendix A - Configuration

The Lantronix WiPort NR networking module has a serial-accessible configuration system which can be used to configure them. For full details, refer to: http://www.lantronix.com/pdf/WiPort-NR_UG.pdf

5.1.1 Accessing the configuration menu via the serial Interface

Access to the configuration menu over the serial interface can be obtained using any serial terminal emulator (see Appendix B on page 11). If used in conjunction with a Güralp EAM, Güralp Affinity or Güralp DM24SxEAM, the built-in minicom emulator can be used for this purpose.

The procedure for connecting to the device is:

5.1.2 Configuring the serial ports

Once you have access to the networking module's configuration menu, you can configure it with its proper settings.

During the configuration process, you are prompted, in turn, for every value in the current section. If you are unsure at any point, pressing the Enter key will retain the current value. Please note that many values need to be entered using special codes. These are all documented in the relevant Lantronix manuals.

From the main menu:

5.1.3 Configuring the Ethernet port

To configure the Ethernet port

5.2 Appendix B - Using terminal emulators

There are a number of terminal emulator programs that you can use to access the serial ports of the system and networking interfaces. Three of these are detailed below.

5.2.1 Hyperterminal, as provided with Windows XP.

5.2.2 Using Hyperterminal with Windows Vista or Windows 7.

HyperTerminal is not provided with the Windows Vista or Windows 7 operating systems but the necessary files can be copied from the i386 directory of the Windows XP CD if you have one available. The two files you will need are:

hypertrm.dll

hypertrm.exe.

If you do not have a Windows XP disc the files can be downloaded from: www.mediafire.com

To use Hyperterminal with Windows Vista or Windows 7:

5.2.3 Using PuTTY.

PuTTY is a free terminal package for windows which is useful if HyperTerminal is not available. It can be downloaded from www.chiark.greenend.org.uk. The easiest package to use is the 'windows installer'. Install PuTTY by following the on-screen instructions.

5.2.4 Using minicom

The minicom terminal emulator is installed by default in many Linux distributions and is included in the Platinum firmware of Güralp EAMs, Affinity units or DM24SxEAMs.

Minicom is window-based. To pop up a window with the function you want, hold the key while typing (from now on, we will use + to denote this), and then a key to select the function (a-z or A-Z). By pressing + first and then , a help screen comes up with a short summary of all commands.

For every menu the following keys can be used:

Key

Action

or

UP

or

DOWN

or

LEFT

or

RIGHT

CHOOSE

CANCEL

The screen is divided into two portions: the upper 24 lines are the terminal-emulator screen. In this window, ANSI or VT100 escape sequences are interpreted. If there is a line left at the bottom, a status line is placed there. If this is not possible the status line will be showed every time you press +. On terminals that have a special status line, it will be used if the termcap information is complete and the -k flag has been given. Possible commands are listed next, in alphabetical order.

Key

Action

+

Pressing + a second time will just send a + to the remote system. If you have changed your "escape character" to something other than +, this works analogously for that character.

Toggle 'Add Linefeed' on/off. If it is on, a linefeed is added before every carriage return displayed on the screen.

Gives you a scroll back buffer. You can scroll up with , down with , a page up with , a page down with and, if you have them, the and keys can also be used. You can search for text in the buffer with (case-sensitive) or + (case-insensitive). will find the next occurrence of the string. will enter citation mode. A text cursor appears and you specify the start line by hitting key. Then scroll back mode will finish and the contents with prefix '>' will be sent.

Clears the screen.

Toggle local echo on and off.

A break signal is sent.

Toggle the type of escape sequence that the cursor keys send between normal and applications mode. (See also the comment about the status line below).

Jump to a shell. On return, the whole screen will be redrawn.

Clears the screen, runs kermit and redraws the screen upon return.

Turn Capture file on off. If turned on, all output sent to the screen will be captured in the file too.

Configure minicom. Puts you in the configuration menu.

Communication Parameters. Allows you to change the bps rate, parity and number of bits.

Exit minicom without resetting the modem. If macros changed and were not saved, you will have a chance to do so.

Receive files. Choose from various protocols (external). If you have the filename selection window and the prompt for download directory enabled, you'll get a selection window for choosing the directory for downloading. Otherwise the download directory defined in the Filenames and paths menu will be used.

Send files. Choose the protocol like you do with the receive command. If you don't have the file-name selection window enabled (in the File transfer protocols menu), you'll just have to write the file-name(s) in a dialog window. If you have the selection window enabled, a window will pop up showing the file-names in your upload directory. You can tag and un-tag file-names by pressing , and move the cursor up and down with / or /. The selected file-names are shown highlighted. Directory names are shown [within brackets] and you can move up or down in the directory tree by pressing twice. Finally, send the files by pressing or quit by pressing .

Choose Terminal emulation: Ansi(colour) or vt100. You can also change the backspace key here, turn the status line on or off, and define delay (in milliseconds) after each newline if you need that.

Toggle line-wrap on/off.

Exit minicom, reset modem. If macros changed and were not saved, you will have a chance to do so.

Paste a file. Reads a file and sends its contents just as if it would be typed in.

Pop up the help screen.

5.3 Appendix C - Lantronix WiPort NR Device Manager

The internal WiPort NR device can be accessed using a web-interface. For full details, refer to: http://www.lantronix.com/pdf/WiPort-NR_UG.pdf

If this is not possible, configuration of the interface can be carried out using the Lantronix' DeviceInstaller utility for Microsoft Windows, using a DHCP server or the via the serial port. You will need a PC with a network interface installed or an RS232 connector.

Note: Refer to Appendix D on page 22 for information on connector pin-outs.
