FCC and IC RFI Statements

Federal Communications Commission and Industry Canada Radio Frequency Interference Statements

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy, and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accor-

dance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio communication. It has been tested and found

to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules,

which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference when the equipment is operated in a

commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user

at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be necessary to correct the interference.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to

operate the equipment.

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference

Regulation of Industry Canada.

Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques

de la classe A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par Industrie Canada.

WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD—DO NOT DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT WHILE THE CIRCUIT IS LIVE OR UNLESS THE

AREA IS KNOWN TO BE FREE OF IGNITABLE CONCENTRATIONS.

SUITABLE FOR USE IN CLASS I, DIVISION 2, GROUPS A, B, C AND D HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS, OR NONHAZARDOUS

LOCATIONS ONLY.

WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD—SUBSTITUTION OF ANY COMPONENT MAY IMPAIR SUITABILITY FOR CLASS I,

Chapter 1: Specifications

1.4 TCP/UDP Ports

Table 1-1. TCP/UDP ports.

Port Description Comments

80/tcp Always open for the Web server.

This port is used for configuration of the device using a web browser.

This port is always open no matter how you configure the device.

If you want to use this method to configure the device from outside of a firewall, then a firewall must

allow incoming connections to this port.

If you want to use this method to configure the device from the outside of a NAT, the NAT must be con-

figured to forward to this port.

771/tcp This port is open when any serial

port is configured for VCOM

mode.

This port is used for communications with the VCOM device driver installed on the computer. This port

is open only if you configure any serial port for VCOM mode.

If you want to use VCOM from outside of a firewall, then you must allow incoming connections on this

port.

If you want to use VCOM from outside of a NAT, then you must forward to this port.

7000/tcp Always open for serial server con-

figuration over TCP.

This port is used for configuration and firmware upgrade of the device using the serial

server manager. This port is always open no matter how you configure the device.

If you want to configure the serial server from outside of a firewall using the serial server manager, then

the firewall must be configured to allow incoming connections on 7000/tcp and allow packets addressed

to 7000/udp to be received.

NOTE: Configuring over 7000/udp is not supported.

60000/tcp This port is open when serial port

1 is configured for paired-mode

server.

These ports are used to transfer handshake line state and break state in paired mode configuration. These

ports are open only if you configure the port for paired-mode server. Note that serial port 1 uses 60000/

tcp, serial port 2 uses 60001/tcp, serial port 3 uses 60002/tcp, and serial port 4 uses 60003/tcp. If a port is

not configured for paired-mode server, then the corresponding port is not open.

If you want to connect to a paired-mode server from outside of a firewall, then you must allow incoming

connections on these ports.

If you want to connect to a paired-mode server from outside of a NAT, then you must forward to these

ports.

60001/tcp

This port is open when serial port

2 is configured for paired-mode

server. Applies to LES422A and

LES424A only.

As above

60002/tcp This port is open when serial port

3 is configured for paired-mode

server. Applies to LES424A only. As above

60003/tcp This port is open when serial port

4 is configured for paired-mode

server. Applies to LES424A only. As above

68/udp This port is open when the

network mode is DHCP.

This port is used if you configure the device for DHCP mode (as opposed to Static IP). It is used to com-

municate with the DHCP server.

This should only be used inside of a firewall or NAT.

7000/udp Always open for serial server con-

figuration over UDP.

These ports are used for configuration and firmware upgrade of the device using the serial server manag-

er. These ports are always open no matter how you configure the device.

If you want to configure the serial server from outside of a firewall using the serial server manager, then

the firewall must be configured to allow incoming connections on 7000/tcp and allow packets addressed

to 7000/udp to be received

8899/udp Always open for serial server

discovery.

This port is used for discovering serial servers. This port is always open no matter how you configure the

device.

NOTE: The device discovery only works on a local subnet. The port may not need to be configured

in a firewall or NAT.

Other User-specified ports.

Other TCP and UDP ports may be open, depending on what you specified for the device

configuration. THESE ARE THE PORTS SPECIFIED IN THE CONFIGURATION FILE.

If you want to use these other ports from outside of a firewall, then you must allow these ports.

If you want to use these other ports from outside of a NAT, then you must forward to these ports.
