I have taken in some Lantronix ETS16P terminal server devices, and I am trying to determine if they are in good working order. My understanding is that they are out of service working, but I cannot get them to respond. I highly suspect user error.
I downloaded the documentation, and I have tried 2 different ways to configure: the Lantronix EZWebCon software and using a console cable (the type I use with Cisco routers) and HyperTerminal. Using the former, it does not show up in the "devices" window after it searches the network (then again, nothing is showing up there). Using Hyperterminal, it doesn't respond to the Return key.
The lights on the front show power, a steady link light, and occasional blink of the network light. I have a straight through network cable from my router into the rj45 ethernet connection on the back of the ETS. I know the cable to be good, and the router is giving out IPs.
Does anyone here have experience with these things?
thank you,
jm
