One of the products that I occasionally work with is the Xport Direct from Lantronix. One of the shortcomings is that the DNS server on LAN routers will not return the DHCP Device Name when a DNS request is made. This is not very convenient when you require your customer to set aside an IP before the installation. This means that you can’t simply create a Client Socket and connect using only the Host Name and Port Number. This also means that for one to write software to communicate with the device you have to give the Xport Direct a fixed IP address and connect using the IP and Port Number.
