XPort® Device Server User Guide 20
4. Configuration Using Web Manager
You must configure the unit so that it can communicate on a network with your serial device.
For example, you must set the way the unit will respond to serial and network traffic, how it
will handle serial packets, and when to start or close a connection.
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 you change and
store the configuration.
In this chapter, we describe how to configure the XPort device server using Web Manager,
Lantronix’s browser-based configuration tool. (For information on using Setup Mode, our
command line configuration interface, see Chapter 5: Configuration via Telnet or Serial Port
(Setup Mode).
Note: The examples in this section show a typical device. Your device may have different
configuration options.
