Configuration Methods
After installation, the PremierWave XC 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 XC 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.)
DeviceInstaller: Configure the IP address and related settings and view current settings on the
PremierWave XC using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network. (See
Using DeviceInstaller.)
Command Mode: There are two methods for accessing Command Mode (CLI): making a Telnet
or SSH connection, or connecting a terminal (or a PC running a terminal emulation program) to
the unit’s serial port. (See the PremierWave XC Command Reference Guide for instructions and
available commands.)
XML: The PremierWave XC 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 XC Command Reference Guide for
instructions and commands.)
