5: Configuration via Telnet or Serial Port
(Setup Mode)
You must configure the unit so that it can communicate on a network with your serial
device. 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 your
Lantronix Sales Associate.
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.

using it. To complete the configuration, continue with
