Once you've assigned an IP to the boxes, log in to their web configuration by inputting their IP addresses in a web browser. Their web configuration pages are also accessible in the Device Installer by clicking on the devices and clicking on the Web Configuration tab on the right. Each device has its own web configuration page:

 

UDS2100 (2-Port) - You don't need to change any settings. Web browser login: NONE

EDS4100 (4-Port) - You don't need to change any settings. Web browser login: admin/PASS



  • Open the Secure Com Port Redirector folder
 and run 
  • Run setup_cpr_x86x64cd_4.3.0.3 to install the 2nd program. This allows port assignment to the Lantronix boxes. 

  • CPR Manager should now be installed.  
    (IMPORTANT NOTE: Inaccessible ports will be automatically detected on the left side under the Com Ports section)

    • In the TCP Port field, type the corresponding TCP Port (See screenshot)

      The first TCP port on these Lantronix boxes will always be 10001; in succession, the next would be 10002, 10003, 10004, etc. This is determined

Example: If a Customer Display Unit is attached to physical port 1 of the Lantronix box and Com 7 is associated with physical port 1, enter Com 7 in the Customer Display Unit's settings under Peripherals.

  • Linked devices can now communicate with the server.

Image Modified

  • When setting up a Lantronix and CPR for use with a VX805 credit card terminal there are two additional drivers that need to be installed on the Order Entry server in order for the VX805 to be able to communicate with the server and CPR manager. 
  • These drivers are normally associated with NetEPay but they MUST be installed even if the site is not using EMV (NetEPay is only needed when site is using EMV)
  • The drivers can be downloaded from the Datacap Systems page: http://www.datacapepay.com/epay50/2946/
  • Make sure you are getting the correct drivers and that they are the most recent version
  • Once the drivers have been installed the Order Entry server will need to be rebooted and the payment device reinitialized from the iPad once everything is back up.
