Quick Setup
This chapter helps get the IP network port up and running quickly, so you can administer the SLB
branch office manager using your network.
Recommendations
To set up the network connections quickly, we suggest you do one of the following:
Use the front panel LCD display and keypads.
Complete the
SSH to the command line interface and follow the Quick Setup script on the command line
interface.
Connect to the console port and follow the Quick Setup script on the command line interface.
Note:
The first time you power up the SLB unit, Eth1 tries to obtain its IP address via
DHCP. If you have connected Eth1 to the network, and Eth1 is able to acquire an IP
address, you can view this IP address on the LCD or by running the Lantronix®
DeviceInstaller™ utility. If Eth1 cannot acquire an IP address, you cannot use Telnet,
SSH, or the web interface to run Quick Setup.
IP Address
Your SLB unit must have a unique IP address on your network. The system administrator
generally provides the IP address and corresponding subnet mask and gateway. The IP address
must be within a valid range, unique to your network, and in the same subnet as your PC if you are
using the DeviceInstaller utility.
The following table lists the options for assigning an IP address to your SLB branch office
manager.

Table 4-1 Methods of Assigning an IP Address
Description
A DHCP server automatically assigns the IP address and network settings.
The SLB unit is DHCP-enabled by default.
With the Eth1 network port connected to the network, and the SLB device
powered up, Eth1 acquires an IP address, viewable on the LCD.
At this point, you can use SSH or Telnet to connect to the SLB branch office
manager, or use the web interface.
Similar to DHCP but for smaller networks.
The Lantronix DeviceInstaller utility is a Windows-based GUI application that
provides an easy way to install and configure specific Lantronix device server
products. You may utilize DeviceInstaller to assign an IP and other network
specific addresses.
You manually assign the IP address and other basic network, console, and
date/time settings. If desired, you can restore the factory defaults.
