3.6 Configuration Using Web Manager

Please see the Device Installer user manual for details on using the Web Manager. This section presents
some basic setup parameters necessary to get the unit operational.
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 in the NET232 using Web-Manager, a browser-
based configuration tool. (For information on using Setup Mode, our command line configuration interface,
see Configuration Using Telnet or Serial Port on page 3-15.
Note: The examples in this section show a typical device. Your device may have different configuration options.

Note: Make note of the hardware (MAC) address on the product label. You will need it to locate the XPort using
DeviceInstaller.
Follow the instructions on the product CD to install and run DeviceInstaller.
1. Click Start/Programs/Lantronix/DeviceInstaller/DeviceInstaller. If the PC has more than one network
adapter, a message displays requesting the selection of a network adapter. Select an adapter and click OK.
2. Click the Search icon. The list of installed device servers displays.
3. Double-click one of the items in the list. The window will expand to display three tabs.
4. Click the Web Configuration tab.
5. To view the XPort's Web-Manager in the current DeviceInstaller window, click the Go button. To open
the Web-Manager in a web browser, click the External Browser button. The Web-Manager displays.
Note: Alternatively, to open Web-Manager, open your web browser and enter the IP address of the XPort. (With
firmware 1.8 or earlier, your browser must be JAVA-enabled to use Web-Manager. With firmware 6.1.0.0 and later, your
web browser does not need to be JAVA-enabled.)
