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.
