Configuring the ETHERNET Port
You must configure the ETHERNET Port so that it can communicate on a
network with your serial device. For example, you must set the way the unit
will respond to serial and network traffic, how it will handle serial packets,
and when to start or close a connection. You can configure your unit locally
or remotely using the following procedures:
Use the XPort™ Installer to configure the unit. Some features are only
available through the XPort™ Installer menus
Use a standard Web browser to access the unit’s internal Web pages and
configure the unit over the network (see section 5.4.4)
This is the easiest and preferred method
