Standard configuration for serial port communication is: 9600, 8, N, 1 i.e. Bits per second (Baud Rate): 9600 Data Bits: 8 Parity: None Stop Bits: 1 Flow Control: None This getting started document explains how to connect via the serial port. https://www.lantronix.com/wp-content/uploads/pdf/XPort-AR_QS.pdf The device also has DHCP enabled, so you could just plug into your LAN. You can run the command arp -a before plugging in it and then after. You should see the new mac & ip addr entry in your computer's arp table. Here's an example of an arp table entry on my computer: gateway (10.0.0.1) at 00:00:ca:11:22:33 [ether] on enp2s0 The first 6 characters of any mac addr are reserved for the OUI, Organizationally Unique Identifier. In my example arp table entry, 00:00:ca is for Arris. Lantronix's OUI is: 00:80:A3 HTH, Mike _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
