View all processes currently running on the PremierWave XN, including CPU utilization.

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.)
