Configuration Methods
After installation, the PremierWave EN requires configuration. For the unit to operate correctly on
a network, it must have a unique IP address on the network. There are four basic methods for
logging into the PremierWave EN and assigning IP addresses and other configurable settings:
Web Manager
: View and configure all settings easily through a web browser using the
Lantronix Web Manager. (
See “Configuration Using Web Manager” on page 20.
)
DeviceInstaller
: Configure the IP address and related settings and view current settings on
the PremierWave EN using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network.
You will need the latest version of DeviceInstaller
.
(
See “Using DeviceInstaller” on page 18.
)
Command Mode:
There are two methods for accessing Command Mode (CLI): making a
Telnet or SSH connection, or connecting a PC or other host running a terminal emulation
program to the unit’s USB port. (See the
PremierWave EN Command Reference Guide
for
instructions and available commands.)
XML:
The PremierWave EN supports XML-based configuration and setup records that make
device configuration transparent to users and administrators. XML is easily editable with a
standard text or XML editor. (See the
PremierWave EN Command Reference Guide
for
instructions and commands.)
Addresses and Port Numbers
Hardware Address
The hardware address is also referred to as the Ethernet address, physical address, or MAC
address. Sample hardware address:
00-80-A3-14-1B-18
00:80:A3:14:1B:18
IP Address
Every device connected to an IP network must have a unique IP address. This address references
the specific unit.
Port Numbers
Every TCP connection and every UDP datagram is defined by a destination and source IP
address, and a destination and source port number. For example, a Telnet server commonly uses
TCP port number 23.
The following is a list of the default server port numbers running on the PremierWave EN:
TCP Port 22: SSH Server (Command Mode configuration)
TCP Port 23: Telnet Server (Command Mode configuration)
TCP Port 80: HTTP (Web Manager configuration)
TCP Port 21: FTP
UDP Port 30718: LDP (Lantronix Discovery Protocol) port
TCP/UDP Port 10001: Tunnel 1 (see note below)
