Configuration Methods
After installation, the XPort Pro Lx6 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 XPort Pro Lx6 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” on page 18.)
DeviceInstaller: Configure the IP address and related settings and view current settings on
the XPort Pro Lx6 using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network. You
will need the latest version of Lantronix® DeviceInstaller™ utility. (See “Using DeviceInstaller”
on page 16.)
Command Mode: There are a few methods for accessing Command Mode (CLI): making a
Telnet connection or via the serial port (when configured accordingly). (See the XPort Pro Lx6
Embedded Device Server Command Reference Guide for instructions and available
commands.)
