Chapter 7: Configuration Using Telnet or Serial

Port (Setup Mode)

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 Lantronix

Technical Support (

).

The unit’s configuration is stored in nonvolatile memory and is retained without power.

This chapter tells you how to access Setup Mode and the general procedure for using it.
To complete the configuration, continue with
