XPress DR+ User Guide 30
5: Configuration Using Web-Manager
You must configure the unit so that 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 at any time. The unit performs a reset after you change
and store the configuration.
In this chapter, we describe how to configure the XPress DR+ using Web-Manager,
Lantronix’s browser-based configuration tool. (For information on using Setup Mode, our
command line configuration interface, see 6: Configuration Using Telnet or Serial Port
(Setup Mode).
Notes:
The examples in this section show a typical device. Your device may have
different configuration options.
For the latest firmware, release notes, and user documentation, go to the
Lantronix web site (www.lantronix.com
