2: Introduction

Configuration Methods

After installation, the PremierWave XN requires configuration. For the unit to operate correctly on
a network, it must have a unique IP address on the network. There are four basic methods for
logging into the PremierWave XN and assigning IP addresses and other configurable settings:

 Web Manager: View and configure all settings easily through a web browser using the

Lantronix Web Manager. (See “Configuration Using Web Manager” on page 27.)

 DeviceInstaller: Configure the IP address and related settings and view current settings on

the PremierWave XN using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network.
You will need the latest version of DeviceInstaller. (See “Using DeviceInstaller” on page 25.)

 Command Mode: There are two methods for accessing Command Mode (CLI): making a

Telnet or SSH connection, or connecting a terminal (or a PC running a terminal emulation
program) to the unit’s serial port. (See the PremierWave XN Command Reference Guide for
instructions and available commands.)

 XML: The PremierWave XN supports XML-based configuration and setup records tha t ma ke

device configuration transparent to users and administrators. XML is easily editable with a
standard text or XML editor. (See the PremierWave XN Command Reference Guide for
instructions and commands.)

Addresses and Port Numbers

Hardware Address

The hardware address is also referred to as the Ethernet address, physical address, or MAC
address. Sample hardware address:

 00-80-A3-14-1B-18

 00:80:A3:14:1B:18

PremierWave XN User Guide 15

2: Introduction

Note: The hardware address on the

label is also the product serial number.
The hardware address on the label is the
address for the Ethernet (eth0) interface.
The WLAN (wlan0) interface uses the
Ethernet address "+1". For example, if
the product label hardware address is 00­80-A3-14-1B-18, then the Ethernet
address is 00-80-A3-14-1B-18 and the
WLAN address is 00-80-A3-14-1B-19.

Notes:

 For Table 3-10 above, a “long” blink is 0.7 seconds of light followed by 0.3 seconds of

no light. A “short” blink is a light that is on for only 0.2 seconds and followed by 0.2
seconds of no light.

 The diagnostic blink patterns reflect the highest priority fault condition. Also, the

Diagnostic LED will give an initial, identifying blink pattern to indicate the type of
diagnostic information it will display. All power and other non-network related
diagnostic patterns begin with one long blink. All wired LAN related diagnostics
patterns begin with two long blinks. All WLAN related diagnostics patterns begin with
three long blinks.
