Software Configuration

In this chapter, we explain how to operate a DA-681-LX computer directly or from a PC near you. There are
three ways to connect to the DA-681-LX computer: through VGA monitor, by using Telnet over the network, or
by using an SSH console from a Windows or Linux machine. This chapter describes basic Linux operating
system configurations. The advanced network management and configuration will be described in the next
chapter “Managing Communications.”

The following topics are covered in this chapter:
