6: Configuration via Serial Mode or Telnet Port
Configure the unit so that it can communicate on a network with your serial device.
As an alternative to Web Manager, the WiPort unit is configurable using a terminal
program to access the serial port locally. Using this terminal program to respond to
prompts is referred to as the
Setup Mode
.
A Telnet connection may also be used to
configure the unit over the network.
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.
Note:
The menus in this section show a typical device. Not all devices
display information in the same manner.
