Configuration

Introduction

When using IPX or LAT, it is possible to power up the MSS and have it work properly with no additional conÞguration required. TCP/IP users must give the unit an IP address.

NOTE: For more information about methods used to configure an IP address, see IP Address Configuration in.

Lantronix has provided EZWebCon software to help users install and conÞgure the MSS. It is also possible to conÞgure the MSS settings by logging into it over a network via Telnet or Rlogin. See the Getting Started chapter for more information.

Additionally, the MSS can be conÞgured to download a conÞguration Þle containing boot commands from a NetWare or TCP/IP host at boot time. See the Change Startup command in the MSS Reference Manual on the CD-ROM for more information.
