Configuration Methods
After installation, the xPico Wi-Fi embedded device server requires configuration. For the unit to
operate correctly on a network, it must have a unique IP address on the network. These methods
may be used for logging into the xPico Wi-Fi and assigning IP addresses and other configurable
settings:
Web Manager: View and configure settings easily through a web browser using the Lantronix
Web Manager. See “Configuration Using Web Manager” on page 14.
XML: The xPico Wi-Fi supports XML import and XML export through a terminal emulator
software such as Tera Term. See “XML Import and XML Export” on page 36.

3: Configuration Using Web Manager
PRELIMINARY DRAFT
PRELIMINARY DRAFT
This chapter describes how to configure the xPico Wi-Fi embedded device server using Web
Manager, the Lantronix browser-based configuration tool. The unit’s configuration is stored in
nonvolatile memory and is retained without power. All changes take effect immediately, unless
otherwise noted. It contains the following sections:
Accessing Web Manager
Web Manager Components
