The WiSpan is an industrial 802.11 b/g wireless-to-Ethernet bridge allowing
10/100 Ethernet-enabled devices to seamlessly connect and communicate over
802.11 b/g wireless networks. By bridging 10/100 Ethernet to 802.11 b/g, wireless
mobility can be added to Ethernet devices.
The WiSpan Ethernet bridge connects or bridges Ethernet devices to wireless networks
using the IP protocol.
Note: The Ethernet interface can only bridge a single wired device.
Typical applications of the WiSpan include:
î‚‹ Cash registers
î‚‹ POS terminals
î‚‹ Vending machines
î‚‹ Industrial equipment
î‚‹ Security panels
Protocol Support
The WiSpan Ethernet bridge uses the TCP/IP protocol stack for network
communications. Other supported protocols include:
î‚‹ ARP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, Telnet, TFTP, AutoIP, HTTP, and SNMP for network
communications and management.
î‚‹ TCP, UDP, and Telnet for connections to the setup port.
î‚‹ TFTP for firmware and web page updates.
î‚‹ IP for addressing, routing, and data block handling over the network.
î‚‹ User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for typical datagram applications in which devices
that support UDP interact with other devices without maintaining a point-to-point
connection.
Configuration Methods
For the unit to operate correctly on a network, it must have:
î‚‹ An IP address
î‚‹ Appropriate settings for network communications to an access point
(Infrastructure Mode) or for peer-to-peer connection (Ad Hoc Mode).
Methods for logging into the WiSpan to set configurable parameters include:
2: Introduction
WiSpan User Guide 9
Serial & Telnet Ports: There are two approaches to accessing Setup 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 setup (serial) port.
DeviceInstaller: This utility provides a GUI interface for locating the WiSpan on the
network, assigning an IP address, viewing the current configuration, and updating
firmware.

This chapter describes how to install and configure the WiSpan unit to get it up and
running. You must configure the WLAN settings for the WiSpan to communicate on a
wireless network.
Note: You only need to configure the WiSpan's IP address and other network settings if
you want to discover and configure your WiSpan device from the wired network; these
settings only apply to communication on the Ethernet interface.
Installing the WiSpan for Configuration
There are two methods for installing the WiSpan so that you can configure it:
Using the Setup Port
To connect to and initially configure the WiSpan using the setup port:
1. Connect one end of the supplied DB9F – DB9F null modem serial cable to the
WiSpan’s setup port.
2. Connect the other end of the DB9 serial cable to a terminal or a PC’s serial COM
port.
3. Continue with Using Setup Mode for Server and WLAN Configuration, below.
Figure 4-1. WiSpan Connected for Configuration via the Serial Port
4: Quick Start
WiSpan User Guide 14
Using the Ethernet Port
To connect to and initially configure the WiSpan using the Ethernet port:
1. If a device is connected to the WiSpan's Ethernet port, disconnect it and connect a
PC for configuring the WiSpan.
2. Set up the PC's Ethernet port for AutoIP or assign a static IP address in the AutoIP
range (169.254.x.x).
3. Use a utility such as DeviceInstaller to locate the WiSpan’s MAC address and IP
address. This utility must use the Lantronix access protocol to query the WiSpan.
(See 5: Using DeviceInstaller.)
4. Use the WiSpan’s Web-Manager (see 6: Web-Manager Configuration) or Telnet to
port 9999 to configure the WiSpan.
Note: Telneting to the WiSpan accesses Setup Mode. The procedure for
using Setup Mode from the Ethernet port is the same as for using the setup
port, described below, starting with step 3.)
5. Disconnect the PC and reconnect the original device to the WiSpan's Ethernet port.
Using Setup Mode for Server and WLAN Configuration
To use Setup Mode for configuration:
1. With a connection to the setup port, open a terminal emulation application (e.g.
HyperTerminal) on the PC. The default serial settings are 9600 baud, 8 bits, no
parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control (9600, 8, N, 1).
2. Enter Setup Mode by simultaneously connecting the power supply and holding down
the x key. Upon connection, information similar to the following displays:

in parentheses.
IP Address : ( 0) ( 0) ( 0) ( 0) _
Set the 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), indicating the gateway address has not been set. To set the
gateway address, type Y. At the prompt, enter the gateway address.
Set the Netmask: 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) (0)
_
The unit prompts for the number of host bits to be entered, then calculates the netmask,
which displays in standard decimal-dot notation when the saved parameters display (for
example, 255.255.255.0).

Network name (SSID) (LTRX_IBSS) ? _
Ad Hoc Network Creation Channel: When Ad Hoc mode is selected, and the WiSpan
cannot find the specified network, it creates one with that network name by transmitting a
beacon on the selected channel.
Channel (11) ?
You can only select channels allowed in the country for which the WiSpan is designated.
The country displays in the list of current settings when you first access Setup Mode.
Security Suite: The WiSpan features WEP, WPA, and 802.11i-PSK/WPA2-Personal to
secure all wireless communication. WPA and 802.11i-PSK/WPA2-Personal are not
available when the topography is Adhoc. The 802.11i-PSK/WPA2-Personal mode is
compliant with the Robust Secure Network specified by the IEEE standard 802.11i. It
enables the AES-based strong CCMP encryption.
WEP: Authentication 0=open/none, 1=shared (0) ? _

ASCII table. The WiSpan passphrase is hashed using the
Neesus Datacom algorithm (for WEP64) or MD5 (for
WEP128).
4: Quick Start
WiSpan User Guide 17
The passphrase input is safer because it is up to 63 chars
long. ASCII input is a maximum of 5 (WEP64) or 13
(WEP128) characters long and limits the number of key

Note: Lantronix recommends using a passphrase of 20
characters or more for maximum security.
Encryption Set the type to the minimum required security level. The “+”
sign indicates that the group (broadcast) encryption method
is different from the pairwise (unicast) encryption. For
example, for CCMP+TKIP, CCMP is the pairwise encryption
and TKIP is the group encryption.
Fixed or Automatic Data Rate
WiSpan enables you to control of the transmission rate. Select 0 to set a fixed data rate
or select 1 to set an automatic data rate. The default is 1 (auto fallback).
TX Data rate: 0=fixed, 1=auto fallback <1> ?
Transmission Data Rate
If the TX Data rate (above) is fixed, the selected data rate is the WiSpan’s fixed
transmission rate. If the TX Data rate is auto fallback, the selected data rate is the
WiSpan’s maximum data rate. Lower data rates allow for larger distances. They may also
be required when communicating with older devices. The default is 11 Mbps.
TX Data rate 0=1, 1=2, 2=5.5, 3=11
4=18, 5=24, 6=36, 7=54 Mbps (0) ? _
Enable Power Management
Select Y (Yes) to enable the software to turn off the radio when expecting not to receive
or transmit soon. This feature reduces the power consumption by up to 170 mA. Enabling
power management increases the response time, because the radio needs to start up
again. The radio synchronizes and checks for incoming messages (every 100 ms).
Note: This option is not available when the topology is AdHoc.
Enable power management (N) ?
Next Steps
1. Upon completing the IP and WLAN settings, select menu option 9 Save and exit.
