Lantronix 900-588 manual Configuration via Telnet or Serial Port Setup Mode, Accessing Setup Mode

6.Configuration via Telnet or Serial Port (Setup Mode)

You must configure the unit so that it can communicate on a network with your serial device. As an alternative to using a web browser, as described in the previous chapter, you can use the following procedures remotely or locally:

Use a Telnet connection to configure the unit over the network.

Use a terminal or terminal emulation program to access the serial port locally. The series of prompts at which you enter configuration settings is called Setup Mode.

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.

This chapter tells you how to access Setup Mode and the general procedure for using it. To complete the configuration, continue with Chapters 7 Setup Mode: Server Configuration, 8 Setup Mode: Channel Configuration, and 9 Setup Mode: Advanced Settings.

Note: The menus in the configuration chapters show a typical device. Your device may have different configuration options.

Accessing Setup Mode

Telnet Connection

To configure the unit over the network, establish a Telnet connection to port 9999.

Note: You can also use DeviceInstaller to access Telnet. Select the device from the main window list, and click the Telnet Configuration tab. Skip steps 1 and 2.
