Configure the unit so that it can communicate on a network with your serial device.
As an alternative to DeviceInstaller and Web-Manager, the WiPort unit is configurable
using a terminal program to access the serial port locally. Using this terminal
program to respond to prompts is referred to as the
Setup Mode
.
A Telnet
connection may also be used to configure the unit over the network.
The unit’s configuration is stored in nonvolatile 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.
Note:
The menus in this section show a typical device. Not all devices
display information in the same manner.
