5: Using DeviceInstaller
This chapter covers the steps for locating a device and viewing its properties and details. The
Lantronix DeviceInstaller application 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.html

DeviceInstaller application to configure the IP address, related settings or for more advanced
features, see the DeviceInstaller Online Help.

169.254.255.254 if no BOOTP or DHCP server is found.
