Lantronix 900-332 manual Configuration via Serial Mode or Telnet Port, Accessing Setup Mode

5: Configuration via Serial Mode or Telnet Port

Configure the unit so that it can communicate on a network with your serial device. As an alternative to DeviceInstaller and Web-Manager, the WiPort unit is configurable using a terminal program to access the serial port locally. Using this terminal program to respond to prompts is referred to as the Setup Mode. A Telnet connection may also be used to configure the unit over the network.

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. Not all devices display information in the same manner.
