When idle, minimal network traffic gets generated. Traffic bursts exceeding 10 Mpbs can occur if
images change rapidly on the host server and image quality gets set to the maximum. Lantronix
recommends using Fast Ethernet connections and a switched network environment because In a
LAN, traffic affects the responsiveness of the Remote Console window.
Spider Power
The Spider consumes under 4 watts of power that it draws from the attached computer. It requires
all cables to be plugged in to receive sufficient power.
Plug in both USB cables or a USB and a PS/2 cable. Pwr1 and Pwr2 LEDs indicate that power is
available. Pwr1 indicates that power is available only on the first USB port. Pwr2 indicates that
power is available on the second USB port or the PS/2 port. When both LEDs are lit, the Spider is
powered and can boot.
The Spider can also get power from an external DC power supply. DC power supplies are
available from Lantronix (part number 520-085-R). The DC power supply acts as a backup,
because the Spider loses power when the attached computer goes down.
Use the power-on reset to reboot the Spider or reboot from the user interface, from the serial port,
or by clicking the reset switch through the pinhole on the back of the body.
