Configuring Via An Ssh/Telnet Session Or Serial Port Using The Cli; Configuring From The Xml Interface - Lantronix I/O 2100 User Manual

5: Getting Started
Configuring via an SSH/Telnet Session or Serial Port Using the
CLI
The IntelliBox provides a command-line interface (CLI) designed to enable the
configuration and systems management functions that can also be performed through the
Web Manager and XML interfaces. To configure the IntelliBox using the CLI, you must
either start an SSH or Telnet session or use a terminal or a computer attached to one of
the IntelliBox serial ports.
The difference between the SSH/Telnet and serial interfaces is the physical connection
paths to the IntelliBox. With an SSH/Telnet session, you can configure the unit without
having to be in the same location as the IntelliBox. The serial-interface method, however,
requires a terminal or computer to be attached to an available IntelliBox serial port. This
means the terminal or computer must be in the same location as the IntelliBox.
For more information, refer to the IntelliBox-I/O 2100 Command Reference, which is
available on the Lantronix web site (www.lantronix.com).

Configuring from the XML Interface

The IntelliBox also provides an XML interface that can be used to perform configuration
and systems-management functions. This configuration method lets you automate the
configuration process using XML configuration files. This method is particularly
convenient if you have multiple IntelliBox device servers that will use the same
configuration settings, because you can define a configuration profile that can be
imported by, and shared among, your other IntelliBox device servers.
