Configuration
You must configure the unit so that it can communicate on a network with your serial device. As
an alternative to using a web browser, as described in the previous chapter, you can use the
following procedures
remotely or locally:
Use a Telnet connection to configure the unit over the network.
Use a terminal or terminal emulation program to access the serial port locally.
The series of prompts at which you enter configuration settings is called
Setup Mode
.
Note:
Detailed information about other setup methods is available from your Lantronix
Sales Associate.
The unit’s configuration is stored in nonvolatile memory and is retained without power. You can
change the configuration at any time. The unit performs a reset after the configuration has been
changed and stored.
This chapter tells you how to access Setup Mode and the general procedure for using it. To
complete the configuration, continue with
6: Setup Mode: Server Configuration
and
7: Setup
Mode: Channel Configuration.
Note:
The menus in the configuration chapters show a typical device. Your device may
have different configuration options.
