Configuration Methods
After installation, the PremierWave XN unit 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 intelligent gateway and assigning IP addresses and other
configurable settings:
Web Manager
: View and configure all settings easily through a web browser using the
Configuration Using Web Manager on page 33
DeviceInstaller
: Configure the IP address and related settings and view current settings on
the PremierWave XN intelligent 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. (See
Accessing the PremierWave XN Device Using DeviceInstaller on page 31
Command Mode:
There are a few methods for accessing Command Mode (CLI): making a
Telnet connection, or connecting a PC or other host running a terminal emulation program to
the unit’s port. (See the
PremierWave XN Intelligent Gateway Command Reference
for
instructions and available commands.)

The PremierWave XN intelligent gateway supports XML-based configuration and setup
records that make device configuration transparent to users and administrators. XML is easily
editable with a standard text or XML editor. (See the
PremierWave XN Intelligent Gateway
