5: Configuration Using Web Manager
You must configure the unit 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.
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 you change and store the
configuration.
In this chapter, we describe how to configure the XPress DR+ using Web Manager, a Lantronix
browser-based configuration tool. Web Manager refers to our web-based configuration manager
for the device server product. (For information on using Setup Mode, our command line
