5.4.3

Configuring the ETHERNET Port

You must configure the ETHERNET Port 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. You can configure your unit locally

or remotely using the following procedures:

Use the XPort™ Installer to configure the unit. Some features are only

available through the XPort™ Installer menus
Use a standard Web browser to access the unit’s internal Web pages and

configure the unit over the network (see section 5.4.4)

This is the easiest and preferred method
