Configuration Using Web Manager
You must configure the unit so 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 any time. The unit resets after configuration is changed and stored.
In this chapter, we describe how to configure the XPress device server using Web Manager,
Lantronix’s browser-based configuration tool. (For information on using Setup Mode, our
command line configuration interface, see
Accessing the Setup Mode Window
Note:
The examples in this section show a typical device. Your device may have different
configuration options.
Web Manager Page
Note:
The XPress DR-IAP may not have a web page or may use a different format web page.
You can start a web browser for configuration by opening your JAVA-enabled web browser and
entering the IP address or by clicking the Web Configuration button on the Device Management
window. There is initially no Web Manager password for your XPress device server as first
received from Lantronix. We recommend that you always use the enhanced password setting
and create a strong 16 character password. Using no password is very dangerous. See
Device Status Home Page
You will reach the Device Status page upon logging into Web Manager. Clicking the
Home icon at the top of the Navigation bar will also bring you to the Device Status page.
