View all processes currently running on the PremierWave XN, including CPU utilization.
View system log messages.
Configuration Methods
After installation, the PremierWave XN 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 XN 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 27.)
DeviceInstaller: Configure the IP address and related settings and view current settings on
the PremierWave XN using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network.
You will need the latest version of DeviceInstaller. (See “Using DeviceInstaller” on page 25.)
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 XN Command Reference Guide for
instructions and available commands.)
XML: The PremierWave XN 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 XN Command Reference Guide for
instructions and commands.)
