4: Using Setup Mode for Configuration
You must configure the unit so that it can communicate on a network with your serial
device. You can configure it using a web browser, as described in 3:Getting Started,
or using the following procedures locally or remotely:
Use a Telnet connection to configure the unit over the network.
Use a terminal or terminal emulation program to access the serial port
locally.
Note: Detailed information about other setup methods is available from your
Lantronix Sales Associate.
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
the configuration has been changed and stored.
Note: The menus in this section show a typical device. Your device may
have different configuration options.

Telnet icon on the DeviceInstaller toolbar, skip steps 1 and 2.
