After installation, the PremierWave 2050 gateway 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 2050 gateway and assigning IP addresses and other
configurable settings:
Web Manager:
View and configure all settings easily through a web browser using the
Chapter 4: Configuration Using Web Manager

DeviceInstaller:
Configure the IP address and related settings and view current settings on
the PremierWave 2050 gateway using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a
network. You will need the latest version of the Lantronix® DeviceInstaller™ utility.
