2. Introduction
This chapter summarizes the Micro125 embedded device server’s features and the basic
information needed to get started.
Capabilities
The Micro125 device server has the following capabilities:
 Connects devices through a TCP data channel or through a Telnet connection to computers
or to another device server. The Micro125 also supports UDP datagrams.
 Contains a web [HTTP] server allowing presentation of custom content and easy
configuration through a browser.
Applications
The Micro125 device server connects serial devices such as those listed below to Ethernet
networks using the IP protocol family.
 ATM machines
 CNC controllers
 Data collection devices
 Environmental sensors
 Universal Power Supply (UPS) management units
 Telecommunications equipment
 Data display devices
 Security alarms and access control devices
 Handheld instruments
 Modems
 Time/attendance clocks and terminals
The Micro125 device server uses the Internet Protocol (IP) for network communications. It uses
the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to assure that no data is lost or duplicated, and that
everything sent to the connection arrives correctly at the target.
Supported protocols include:
 ARP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, Telnet, TFTP, AutoIP, DHCP, HTTP, and SNMP for network
communications and management.
 TCP, UDP, and Telnet for connections to the serial port.
 TFTP for firmware and web page updates.
 IP for addressing, routing, and data block handling over the network.
 User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for typical datagram applications in which devices interact
with other devices without maintaining a point-to-point connection.

2: Introduction
Configuration Methods
For the unit to operate correctly on a network, it must have a unique IP address on the network.
There are three basic methods for logging into the device server to assign an IP address and
configure the unit:
DeviceInstaller: Assign an IP address and view the current Micro125 configuration using a
Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network. (See Using the DeviceInstaller
Utility.)
Web-Manager: Through a web interface, configure the Micro125 and its settings using the
Micro125’s Web-Manager. (See Configuration Using Web Manager
Serial & Telnet Ports: There are two approaches to accessing Serial Mode. Make a Telnet
connection to the network port (9999) or connect a terminal (or a PC running a terminal emulation
program) to the unit’s serial port. (See Configuration via Telnet or Serial Port (Setup Mode).)
Addresses and Port Numbers
Hardware Address
The hardware address is also referred to as the Ethernet address or the MAC address.
Note: Make note of the MAC address. It is needed to locate the Micro125 using the
DeviceInstaller utility.
IP Address
Every device connected to an IP network must have a unique IP address. This address is used to
reference the specific unit. The Micro125 is automatically assigned an IP address on DHCP-
enabled networks, as it is DHCP-enabled by default.
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, see
Table 8-5. Reserved Port Numbers.

3. Getting Started
This chapter covers the steps required to get an embedded device physically connected.
Physically Connecting the Unit

The following diagram shows a properly installed Micro125. Other devices connect in a similar
manner.
Figure 3-1. Evaluation Board Connected to Serial Device and Network
Connect a computer or serial device to your unit.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 Ethernet port.
Supply power to your unit using the power supply that was included in the packaging.
Note: The required input voltage for the Micro125 is 5VDC (+/-5% at ~200 mA). Other devices
may require a different voltage.
Supply power to the serial device.

3: Getting Started
Required Information
Hardware Address
You need to know the unit’s hardware address (also known as the MAC address), which is on the
product label. It is in the format:
Hardware Address: 00 – 20 - 4a - _____ - _____ - _____
Or
Hardware Address : 00 – 80 - A3 - _____ - _____ - _____
IP Address
Your device server must have a unique IP address on your network. The systems administrator
generally provides the IP address and corresponding subnet mask and gateway. The IP address
must be within a valid range, unique to your network, and in the same subnet as your PC.
IP Address: _______ - _______ - _______ - _______
Subnet Mask: _______ - _______ - _______ - _______
Gateway: _______ - _______ - _______ - _______
You have several options for assigning an IP address to your unit. We recommend that you
manually assign the IP address over the network using the DeviceInstaller utility software, which
is described in Using the DeviceInstaller Utility.

4. Using the DeviceInstaller Utility
This chapter covers the steps for getting the Micro125 device server online and viewing its
current configuration.
Note: The Lantronix® DeviceInstaller application is a free utility program provided by

Lantronix that discovers, configures, upgrades, and manages Lantronix Device Servers.
It can be downloaded from the Lantronix website at
www.lantronix.com/support/downloads.
For instructions on using the DeviceInstaller application to configure the IP address and
related settings or for more advanced features, see the DeviceInstaller Online Help.

6. Configuration via Telnet or Serial Port (Setup
Mode)
You must configure the unit so that it can communicate on a network with your serial device. As
an alternative to using a web browser, as described in the previous chapter, you can use the
following procedures remotely or locally:
 Use a Telnet connection to configure the unit over the network.

 Use a terminal or terminal emulation program to access the serial port locally.
The series of prompts at which you enter configuration settings is called Setup Mode.
Note: Detailed information about other setup methods is available from your Lantronix Sales
Associate.
The unit’s configuration is stored in nonvolatile memory and is retained without power. You can
change the configuration at any time. The unit performs a reset after the configuration has been
changed and stored.
This chapter tells you how to access Setup Mode and the general procedure for using it. To
complete the configuration, continue with Chapters 7 Setup Mode: Server Configuration, 8 Setup
Mode: Channel Configuration, and 9 Setup Mode: Advanced Settings.
Note: The menus in the configuration chapters show a typical device. Your device may have
different configuration options.
Accessing Setup Mode
Telnet Connection
To configure the unit over the network, establish a Telnet connection to port 9999.
Note: You can also use the DeviceInstaller application to access Telnet. Select the device from
the main window list, and click the Telnet Configuration tab. Skip steps 1 and 2.
To establish a Telnet connection:
1. From the Windows Start menu, click Run and type the following command, where x.x.x.x is
the IP address, and 9999 is the unit’s fixed network configuration port number:
Windows: telnet x.x.x.x 9999
UNIX: telnet x.x.x.x:9999
2. Click OK. The following information displays.

To configure the unit through a serial connection:
1. Connect a console terminal or PC running a terminal emulation program to your unit's serial
port.
2. Set the terminal emulator serial port settings to 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow
control.
Note: The Micro125 always uses these serial port settings on boot-up.
3. Reset the Micro125 unit by cycling the unit's power (turning the power off and back on).
Immediately upon resetting the device, enter three lowercase x characters (xxx).
Note: The easiest way to enter Setup Mode is to hold down the x key at the terminal (or
emulation) while resetting the unit. You must do this within three seconds of resetting the
Micro125.
At this point, the screen display is the same as when you use a Telnet connection. To continue,
go to step 4, above under the section, Telnet Connection.
Exiting Setup Mode

To exit setup mode, utilize one of the following two options:
 To save all changes and reboot the device, select option 9 Save and exit from the Change
Setup menu. All values are stored in nonvolatile memory.
 To exit the configuration mode without saving any changes or rebooting, select option 8 Exit
without save from the Change Setup menu.

7. Setup Mode: Server Configuration
This chapter explains how to configure the network settings.
Note: Current values appear in parentheses.
Server Configuration (Option 0)

The unit’s basic network parameters display when you select Server configuration (option 0).
The IP Address, Set Gateway IP Address, and Netmask fields display the current values.
IP Address : (172) .(019) .(203) .(007)

Set Gateway IP Address (Y) ?
Gateway IP addr (172) .(019) .(000) .(001)
Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Part (0=default) (16)
Set DNS Server IP addr (N) ?
Change Telnet/Web Manager password (N) ?
IP Address
If DHCP is not used to assign IP addresses, enter the IP address manually. The IP address must
be set to a unique value in the network. Enter each octet and press Enter between each section.
The current value displays in parentheses.
IP Address : (172) .(019) .(203) .(007)
If DHCP is used, the third octet of the IP address sets the BootP/DHCP/AutoIP options. The
following table shows the bits you can manually configure to force the Micro125 to disable AutoIP,
DHCP, or BootP. To disable an option, set the appropriate bit.
Table 7-1. BootP/DHCP/AutoIP options
Options Bit
AutoIP 0
DHCP 1
BootP 2
For example, if the third octet is 0.0.5.0, the AutoIP and BootP options are disabled; only DHCP is
enabled. (The value 5 results from adding the binary equivalents of 0 and 2.) This is the most
common setting when using DHCP.

7: Setup Mode: Server Configuration
Set Gateway IP Address

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. The default is N (No), meaning the
gateway address has not been set. To set the gateway address, type Y and enter the address.
Set Gateway IP Address (Y) ?

Gateway IP addr (172) .(019) .(000) .(001)
Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Part

A netmask defines the number of bits taken from the IP address that are assigned for the host
part.
Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Part (0=default) (16)
Note: Class A: 24 bits; Class B: 16 bits; Class C: 8 bits
The unit prompts for the number of host bits to be entered, then calculates the netmask, which
appears in standard decimal-dot notation (for example, 255.255.255.0) when the saved
parameters display.
Table 7-2. Standard IP Network Netmasks
Network Class Host Bits Netmask
A 24 255.0.0.0
B 16 255.255.0.0
C 8 255.255.255.0
Set DNS Server IP Address

The DNS server allows the name of a remote machine to be resolved automatically. The default
is N (No), indicating the DNS server address has not been set. To set the DNS server address,
type Y. At the prompt, enter the DNS server address. 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.
Set DNS Server IP addr (N) ?

7: Setup Mode: Server Configuration
Change Telnet/Web-Manager Password

Setting the Telnet/Web-Manager password prevents unauthorized access to the setup menu
through a Telnet connection to port 9999 or through web pages.
Please protect your device from unauthorized access and follow the instructions below:
 Always select Y to enable Telnet/Web Manager password
 Enable the enhanced password setting and create a strong 16-character password. For
details, see Security Settings (Option 6) on page 55.
Note: We do not recommend that you only use the 4-character basic password as it does
not offer sufficient security. Using no password is very dangerous.
Change Telnet/Web Manager password (N) ?
DHCP Name
If a DHCP server has automatically assigned the IP address and network settings, you can
discover the unit by using the DeviceInstaller network search feature.
There are three methods for assigning DHCP names to the unit.
Default DHCP Name: If you do not change the DHCP name, and you are using an IP of 0.0.0.0,
then the DHCP name defaults to CXXXXXX (XXXXXX is the last 6 digits of the MAC address
shown on the label on the bottom/side of the unit). For example, if the MAC address is 00-20-4A-
12-34-56, then the default DHCP name is C123456.
Custom DHCP Name: You can create your own DHCP name. If you are using an IP address of
0.0.0.0, then the last option in Server configuration is Change DHCP device name. This option
allows you to change the DHCP name to an alphanumeric name (LTX in our example).
Change DHCP device name (not set) ? (N) Y

Enter new DHCP device name : LTX
Numeric DHCP Name: You can change the DHCP name by specifying the last octet of the IP
address. When you use this method, the DHCP name is LTXYY where YY is what you chose for
the last octet of the IP address. If the IP address you specify is 0.0.0.12, then the DHCP name is
LTX12. This method only works with 2 digit numbers (01-99).
Enable DHCP FQDN Option

A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is the complete domain name for your device in network.
The FQDN consists of two parts, the hostname and the domain name. For example, an FQDN for
your device might be myxport.lantronix.com. The hostname is myxport, and the host is located
within the domain lantronix.com. The option to enable DHCP FQDN becomes available if DHCP
is enabled.
Enable DHCP FQDN option : (N) ?

Connection) remote IP address & remote port specified when the firmware
starts.
Hostlist If you enable this option, the device server scrolls through the
hostlist until it connects to a device listed in the hostlist table.
Once it connects, the unit stops trying to connect to any others.
If this connection fails, the unit continues to scroll through the
table until it is able to connect to another IP in the hostlist.
Hostlist supports a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 12 entries.
Each entry contains the IP address and the port number.
The hostlist is disabled for Manual and Modem Modes. The unit
does not accept a data connection from a remote device when
the hostlist option is enabled.

network connection to a hostlist entry that it has successfully ARPed. The range is 1-15, with
the default set to 3.
5. For Retrytimeout, enter the number of seconds the unit should wait before failing an
attempted connection. The time is stored as units of milliseconds in the range of 10-65535.
The default is 250.
d) Datagram Type
Datagram Type Description
Directed UDP When selecting this option, you are prompted for the Datagram type. Enter 01
for directed or broadcast UDP. Datagrams of type 01 can be sent as a
broadcast by enabling the Send as Broadcast option. The default is not to
broadcast. When the UDP option is in effect, the unit never attempts to initiate
a TCP connection because it uses UDP datagrams to send and receive data.
e) Modem Mode
In Modem (Emulation) Mode, the unit presents a modem interface to the attached serial device. It
accepts AT-style modem commands and handles the modem signals correctly.
Normally, there is a modem connected to a local PC and a modem connected to a remote

machine. A user must dial from the local PC to the remote machine, accumulating phone charges
for each connection. Modem Mode allows you to replace modems with Micro125 units, and to use
an Ethernet connection instead of a phone call. By not having to change communications
applications, you avoid potentially expensive phone calls.
To select Modem Mode, set the Connect Mode to C6 (no echo), D6 (echo with full verbose), D7
(echo with numeric response), CF (modem responses only, numeric response), or CE (modem
responses only, full verbose).
Note: If the unit is in Modem Mode, and the serial port is idle, the unit can still accept network
TCP connections to the serial port if Connect Mode is set to C6 (no echo), D6 (echo with full
verbose), D7 (echo with numeric response, CF (modem responses only, numeric response), or
CE (modem responses only, full verbose).
Table 8-8. Modem Modes
Modem Mode Description
Without Echo In Modem Mode, echo refers to the echo of all of the characters
entered in command mode; it does not mean to echo data that is
transferred. Quiet Mode (without echo) refers to the modem not
sending an answer to the commands received (or displaying what was
typed).

Data Echo & Modem Full Verbose: The unit echoes modem commands and responds to a
Response command with a message string shown in the table below.
Numeric Response: The unit echoes modem commands and
responds to a command with a numeric response.
Modem Responses Full Verbose: The unit does not echo modem commands and
Only responds to a command with a message string shown in the table
below.
Numeric Response: The unit does not echo modem commands and
responds to a command with a numeric response.
Table 8-9. Modem Mode Messages

device.
Numeric Response
0 OK
1 Connected
2 Ring
3 No Carrier
4 Error
Received commands must begin with the two-character sequence AT and be terminated with a
carriage return character.
The unit ignores any character sequence received not starting with AT, and only recognizes and
processes single AT-style commands. The unit treats compound AT commands as unrecognized
commands.
If the Full Verbose option is in effect, the unit responds to an unrecognized command string that
is otherwise formatted correctly (begins with AT and ends with carriage return) with the "OK"
message and takes no further action.
If the Numeric Response option is in effect, the unit responds to an unrecognized command
string that is otherwise formatted correctly with the "OK" message and takes no further action.
When an active connection is in effect, the unit transfers data and does not process commands
received from the serial interface.
When a connection is terminated or lost, the unit reverts to command mode.
When an active connection is in effect, the unit terminates the connection if it receives the
following sequence from the attached serial device:
 No serial data is received for one second.

 The character sequence +++ is received, with no more than one second between each two
characters.

 No serial data is received for one second after the last + character. At this time, the unit
responds affirmatively per the selected echo/response mode.
 The character string ATH is received, terminated with a carriage return. The unit responds
affirmatively according to the selected echo/response mode and drops the network
connection. The serial interface reverts to accepting command strings.
If this sequence is not followed, the unit remains in data transfer mode.

Show IP addr after 'RING' (Y) ?
Disable or enable the Micro125's ability to show the IP address after RING in Modem Mode. The
default is Y (Yes), to show the IP address.
Auto Increment Source Port

Y (Yes) auto increment the source port. The Micro125 increments the port number used with
each new connection.
Remote IP Address
This is the destination IP address used with an outgoing connection.
Remote IP Address : (000) .(000) .(000) .(000)
Note: This option does not display when Hostlist is enabled from the ConnectMode prompt (see
Connect Mode on page 44 for more information).
Remote Port
You must set the remote TCP port number for the unit to make outgoing connections. This
parameter defines the port number on the target host to which a connection is attempted.
Remote Port (0) ?
To connect an ASCII terminal to a host using the unit for login purposes, use the remote port
number 23 (Internet standard port number for Telnet services).
Note: This option does not display when Hostlist is enabled from the ConnectMode prompt (see
Connect Mode on page 44 for more information).
DisConnMode
This setting determines the conditions under which the unit will cause a network connection to
terminate.

(6) When Modem Control In transitions from a high state to a low state, the network connection to or from the
serial port drops.
Flush Mode (Buffer Flushing)

Using this parameter, you can control line handling and network buffers with connection startup
and disconnect.
FlushMode (00) ?
You can also select between two different packing algorithms.

Alternate Packing Algorithm (Pack Control)
Enable 1

Pack Control
The packing algorithms define how and when packets are sent to the network. The standard
algorithm is optimized for applications in which the unit is used in a local environment, allowing for
very small delays for single characters, while keeping the packet count low. The alternate packing
algorithm minimizes the packet count on the network and is especially useful in applications in a
routed Wide Area Network (WAN). Adjusting parameters in this mode can economize the network
data stream.
Pack control settings are enabled in Flush Mode. Set this value to 00 if you do not need specific
functions.

Two 1 0
Send Characters
2-Byte Send Character Sequence 1
Send Immediately After Send chars 1
Packing Interval
Packing Interval defines how long the unit should wait before sending accumulated characters.
This wait period is between successive network segments containing data. For alternate packing,
the default interval is 12 ms.
Trailing Characters
In some applications, CRC, Checksum, or other trailing characters follow the end-of-sequence
character; this option helps to adapt frame transmission to the frame boundary.

Send Characters
 If 2-Byte Send Character Sequence is enabled, the unit interprets the sendchars as a 2-
byte sequence; if this option is not enabled, the unit interprets them independently.
 If Send Immediately After Characters is not set, any characters already in the serial buffer
are included in the transmission after a "transmit" condition is found. If this option is set, the
unit sends immediately after recognizing the transmit condition (sendchar or timeout).
Note: A transmission might occur if status information needs to be exchanged or an

acknowledgment needs to be sent.
DisConnTime (Inactivity Timeout)

Use this parameter to set an inactivity timeout. The unit drops the the TCP connection to port
10001/10002* if there is no activity on the serial line before the set time expires. Enter time in the
format mm:ss, where m is the number of minutes and s is the number of seconds.
Note*: The default port number for Port 1 is 10001 and 10002 for Port 2. However, port
numbers may be set to a different value.
To disable the inactivity timeout, enter 00:00. Range is 0 (disabled) to 5999 seconds (99 minutes,
59 seconds). Default is 0.
Send Characters
Enter up to two characters in hexadecimal representation in sendchar.
SendChar 1 (00) ?
SendChar 2 (00) ?
If the unit receives a character on the serial line that matches one of these characters, it sends
the character immediately, along with any awaiting characters, to the TCP connection. This action
minimizes the response time for specific protocol characters on the serial line (for example, ETX,
EOT). Setting the first sendchar to 00 disables the recognition of the characters. Alternatively, the
unit can interpret two characters as a sequence (see Pack Control on page 52).
Telnet Terminal Type

This parameter displays only if you enabled the terminal type option in Disconnect Mode. With
this option enabled, you can use the terminal name for the Telnet terminal type. Enter only one
name.
With terminal type option enabled, the unit also reacts to the EOR (end of record) and binary
options, useful for applications like terminal emulation to IBM hosts.
Channel (Port) Password

This parameter appears only if the channel (port) password option is enabled in Disconnect
Mode. With this option enabled, you can set a password on the serial port.

TCP Keepalive Time in Seconds

This option allows you to change how many seconds the unit waits during a silent connection
before attempting to see if the currently connected network device is still on the network. If the
unit gets no response, it drops that connection.
TCP Keepalive : 45s
ARP Cache Timeout in Seconds

Whenever the unit communicates with another device on the network, it adds an entry into its
ARP table. The ARP Cache timeout option allows you to define how many seconds (1-600) the
unit will wait before timing out this table.

9: Setup Mode: Advanced Settings
ARP cache timeout: 600s
Monitor Mode at Bootup

This option allows you to disable all entries into Monitor Mode during startup, except for the ‘xxx’
sequence. This prevents entry using yyy, zzz, xx1, and yy1 key sequences (only during the
bootup sequence). The default for Monitor Mode at bootup is N (No). (See 11: Monitor Mode.)

Enable Encryption
Rijndael is the block cipher algorithm chosen by the National Institute of Science and Technology
(NIST) as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to be used by the US government. The
Micro125 supports 128-, 192-, and 256-bit encryption key lengths.
Note: Configuring encryption should be done through a local connection to the serial port of the
Micro125, or via a secured network connection. Initial configuration information, including the
encryption key, is sent in clear text over the network.

To configure AES encryption on the Micro125:
Enable Encryption (N) Y

Key length in bits (0): 128
Change Keys (N) Y
Enter Keys: **-**-**-**-**-**-**-**-**-**-**-**-**-**-**-**-
1. When prompted to enable encryption, select Y.
2. When prompted, enter the encryption key length. The Micro125 supports 128-, 192-, and
256-bit encryption key lengths.
3. When prompted to change keys, select Y.
4. At the Enter Keys prompt, enter your encryption key. The encryption keys are entered in
hexadecimal. The hexadecimal values are echoed as asterisks to prevent onlookers from
seeing the key. Hexadecimal values are 0-9 and A-F.
 For a 128-bit key length, enter 32 hexadecimal characters.
 For a 192-bit key length, enter 48 hexadecimal characters.
 For a 256-bit key length, enter 64 hexadecimal characters
5. Continue pressing Enter until you return to the Change Setup menu.
6. From the Change Setup menu, select option 9 to save and exit.
Encryption only applies to the port selected for data tunneling (default 10001), regardless of
whether you are using TCP or UDP.
Generally, one of these situations applies:
 Encrypted Micro125-to-Micro125 communication. Be sure to configure both Micro125 devices

with the same encryption key.
 Third-party application to Micro125-encrypted communication: Micro125 uses standard AES
encryption protocols. To communicate successfully, products and applications on the peer
side must use the same protocols and the same encryption key as the Micro125.
 Lantronix Secure Com Port Redirector provides an encrypted connection from Windows-
based applications to the Micro125. Information about SCPR is available on our web site,
www.lantronix.com/device-networking/utilities-tools/scpr. A 30-day trial version of SCPR is
available.
Note: Developers can license the Lantronix Encryption Library Suite.

See www.lantronix.com/device-networking/utilities-tools.
Enable Enhanced Password

The Enhanced Password setting allows you to set a password of up to 16 characters for

10. Firmware Upgrades
Obtaining Firmware
You can obtain the most up-to-date firmware and release notes for the unit from the Lantronix
web site (www.lantronix.com/support/downloads) or by using anonymous FTP
(ftp.lantronix.com/pub).
Reloading Firmware
There are several ways to update the unit's internal operational code (*.ROM): using the
DeviceInstaller utility (the preferred way), using TFTP, or using the serial port. You can also
update the unit's internal Web interface (*.COB) using TFTP or the DeviceInstaller application.
Here are typical names for those files. Check the Lantronix web site for the latest versions and
release notes.
Table 10-1. Firmware Files

ROM File COB
m125e_61100.rom m125_webm_2007.cob
Please refer to the DeviceInstaller online Help for information about reloading firmware using the
DeviceInstaller application. The other methods are discussed below.
Using TFTP: Graphical User Interface

To download new firmware from a computer:
1. Use a TFTP client to put a binary file to the unit (*.ROM to upgrade the unit's internal
operational code and *.COB to upgrade its internal web interface).
Note: TFTP requires the .rom (binary) version of the unit's internal operational code.
2. In the TFTP server field, enter the IP address of the unit being upgraded.
3. Select Upload operation and Binary format.
4. Enter the full path of the firmware file in the Local file name field.
5. In the Remote file name field, enter the current internal operational code or WEB1 to WEB6
for the internal web interface.

10: Firmware Upgrades
Figure 10-1. TFTP Window
6. Click the Upload Now button to transfer the file to the unit. The unit performs a power reset
after the firmware has been loaded and stored.
Using TFTP: Command Line Interface

To download new firmware from a computer:
7. Enter the following from a TFTP command line interface:

tftp –i <ip address> put <local filename> <destination file name>
The following examples demonstrate the TFTP command sequence to download the .rom file and
the .cob file:
tftp –i 192.168.1.111 put m125e_61100.rom 5M

tftp –i 192.168.1.111 put m125_webm_2007.cob WEB1
Recovering the Firmware Using the Serial Port and the

DeviceInstaller Application
If for some reason the firmware is damaged, you can recover the firmware file by using the
DeviceInstaller utility to download the *.ROM file over the serial port.
To recover firmware:
1. Start DeviceInstaller. If your PC has more than one network adapter, a message displays.
Select an adapter and click OK.
2. From the Tools menu, select Advanced/Recover Firmware. The Serial Port Firmware
Upgrade window displays.
3. For Port on PC, enter the COM port on the PC that is connected to the serial port of the
Lantronix unit.
Note: Make sure the Micro125 on which you are recovering firmware is connected to this
selected port on your PC.
4. For Device Model, be sure the appropriate Micro125 device is selected.
5. For Firmware File, click the Browse button and go to the location where the firmware file
resides.

10: Firmware Upgrades
6. Click OK to download the file.
7. When prompted, reset the device. Status messages and a progress bar at the bottom of the
screen show the progress of the file transfer. When the file transfer completes, the message
“Successful, Click OK to Close” appears.
8. Click the OK button to complete this procedure.
Note: For more information, see Recovering Firmware in the DeviceInstaller online Help.

11. Monitor Mode
Monitor Mode is a command-line interface used for diagnostic purposes.
There are two ways to enter Monitor Mode: locally using the serial port or remotely using the
network.
Entering Monitor Mode Using the Serial Port

To enter Monitor Mode locally:
1. Follow the same steps used for setting the serial configuration parameters
(see Serial Port on page 37).
2. Instead of typing three x keys, however:
3. Type zzz (or xx1) to enter Monitor Mode with network connections.
4. Type yyy (or yy1) to enter Monitor Mode without network connections.
A 0> prompt indicates that you have successfully entered Monitor Mode.
Entering Monitor Mode Using the Network Port

To enter Monitor Mode using a Telnet connection:
5. Establish a Telnet session to the configuration port (9999). The following message appears:
MAC address 12D4AE4A20AA
Software version V6.11.0.0 (150522) M125
Press Enter for Setup Mode
6. Type M (upper case).
A 0> prompt indicates that you have successfully entered Monitor Mode.
Monitor Mode Commands

The following commands are available in Monitor Mode. Many commands have an IP address as
an optional parameter (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). If you enter the IP address, the command is applied to
another unit with that IP address. If you do not enter the IP address, the command is executed
locally.
Note: All commands must be in capital letters. Responses to some of the commands are in Intel
Hex format.

12. Troubleshooting
This chapter discusses how you can diagnose and fix errors quickly without having to contact a
dealer or Lantronix. It helps to connect a terminal to the serial port while diagnosing an error to
view summary messages that may display. When troubleshooting, always ensure that the
physical connections (power cable, network cable, and serial cable) are secure.
Note: Some unexplained errors might be caused by duplicate IP addresses on the network. Make
sure that your unit's IP address is unique.
When troubleshooting the following problems, make sure that the Micro125 is powered up.
Confirm that you are using a good network connection.

B: Binary to Hexadecimal Conversions
Many of the unit’s configuration procedures require assembling a series of options (represented
as bits) into a complete command (represented as a byte). Convert the resulting binary value to a
hexadecimal representation.
Converting Binary to Hexadecimal

Following are two simple ways to convert binary numbers to hexadecimals.
Conversion Table
Hexadecimal digits have values ranging from 0 to F, which are represented as 0-9, A (for 10), B
(for 11), etc. To convert a binary value (for example, 0100 1100) to a hexadecimal representation,
the upper and lower four bits are treated separately, resulting in a two-digit hexadecimal number
(in this case, 4C). Use the following table to convert values from binary to hexadecimal.
Decimal Binary Hex

0 0000 0
1 0001 1
2 0010 2
3 0011 3
4 0100 4
5 0101 5
6 0110 6
7 0111 7
8 1000 8
9 1001 9
10 1010 A
11 1011 B
12 1100 C
13 1101 D
14 1110 E
15 1111 F

B: Binary to Hexadecimal Conversions
Scientific Calculator
Another simple way to convert binary to hexadecimals is to use a scientific calculator, such as the
one available on Windows operating systems. For example:
1. On the Windows Start menu, click ProgramsAccessoriesCalculator.
2. On the View menu, select Scientific. The scientific calculator displays.
3. Select Bin (Binary), and type the number to convert.
4. Click Hex. The hexadecimal value displays.
