| |
|
| This mode is used in order to directly transfer data from the Mode-S Beast over the network to Planeplotter.

| For Xport use, it is quite essential to use the binary format, so DIP#3 must be ON.

| ==Setting up for TCP mode / COM port over Ethernet==
| |
| | |
| Newer versions of Planeplotter provide a direct TCP interface to the Xport, so data is not just streamed over the network but instead transmitted without loss and only if a device is connected.
| |
| | |
| ===Xport TCP Settings Example===

| |
| [[File:Xport-tcp-settings2.png|640px|Xport TCP Settings (2)]]<p>
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| You can also interface the TCP to the [http://www.lantronix.com/device-networking/utilities-tools/com-port-redirector.html Lantronix Com Port Redirector], which installs a COM port for the application side.

| ===Additional Hints===
| |
| | |
| * '''Factory reset without serial:'''<br>Telnet to port 9999. Then you get a simple console menue, much like the BIOS setup of your PC. Simply do a factory reset, save and exit, and after a moment you will have it back on factory defaults.
| |
| * '''Firmware upgrade of the Lantronix Xport:'''<br>There is a [http://ltxfaq.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1597 FAQ of Lantronix], but ensure that the hardware revision of the Lantronix matches to that.
