I don't know what is is. None of my devices on
the wild (more than 2K
devices built) has this problem. Can you illustrate a situation where it
certainly happens?
Right out of the manual for my WIZ105, section 4.2: "At the default
status, the serial configuration is disabled." If you're bringing the
device up cold, *or* the settings got whacked and serial configuration
is off, you *can't* configure it over serial; you *must* use the Ethernet
configuration tool.
Now, once this is done, it works fine, assuming the internal settings
don't get munged. I did this once by mistake when I was flubbing a
config string, so you can definitely screw it up in addition to any kind
of random scrambling event.
They may have changed this in later versions of the chip, so if they
fixed this, great. The ones I've dealt with all have this issue.
Is this a crippling limitation? No. It's just a limitation that the
Lantronix boxes don't have. If this isn't a limitation for your application,
or you can program around it, then it should be okay. But I like the
Lantronix better.
