 Device Details Summary
DeviceInstaller is a free utility program provided by Lantronix that discovers, configures, upgrades,
and manages Lantronix Device Servers. It can be downloaded from the Lantronix website at
www.lantronix.com/support/downloads . For instructions on using DeviceInstaller to configure the
IP address and related settings or for more advanced features, see the DeviceInstaller online
Help.
Note: AutoIP generates a random IP address in the range of 169.254.0.1 to
169.254.255.254 if no BOOTP or DHCP server is found.
