5.6.3 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 5.6.4)
This is the easiest and preferred method
Make sure that the Java™ 2 Runtime Environment (Standard Edition Version
1.4.1) software is installed on your PC. If not, download it from: http://java.sun.com
The unit’s configuration is stored in non-volatile memory and is retained
without power. You can change the configuration at any time. The unit
performs a reset after the configuration has been changed and stored.
5.6.4 Using the Web Manager Page
To configure the Ethernet port via a Web browser, first click one of the
devices listed in the window, and then click the Web icon. The Web-Manager
window now displays in your browser.
