Chapter 7: Configuration Using Telnet or Serial
Port (Setup Mode)
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 Lantronix
Technical Support (
http://www.lantronix.com/support
).
The unit’s configuration is stored in nonvolatile memory and is retained without power.
This chapter tells you how to access Setup Mode and the general procedure for using it.
To complete the configuration, continue with
Chapter 8: Setup Mode: Server
Configuration
,
Chapter 9: Setup Mode: Channel Configuration
, and
Chapter 10: Setup
Mode: Advanced Settings
.
Notes:
The menus in the configuration chapters show a typical device. Your device may
have different configuration options.

must first configure the network and WLAN settings using a serial connection. See
