4: Using Setup Mode for Configuration

You must configure the unit so that it can communicate on a network with your serial

device. You can configure it using a web browser, as described in 3:Getting Started,

or using the following procedures locally or remotely:

 Use a Telnet connection to configure the unit over the network.

 Use a terminal or terminal emulation program to access the serial port

locally.

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.

Note: The menus in this section show a typical device. Your device may

have different configuration options.

Accessing Setup Mode

Using a Telnet Connection

To configure the unit over the network, establish a Telnet connection to port 9999.

Note: You can also use DeviceInstaller to access Telnet. Select the device

from the main window list, and click the Telnet icon

. If you use the

Telnet icon on the DeviceInstaller toolbar, skip steps 1 and 2.

1. From the Windows Start menu, click Run and type the following command,

where x.x.x.x is the IP address, and 9999 is the unit’s fixed network configuration

port number:

telnet x.x.x.x 9999

Note: Be sure to include a space between the IP address and 9999.

2. Click OK. The following information displays.
