Configuration Methods
After installation, the PremierWave XC 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 XC 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 29.)
DeviceInstaller: Configure the IP address and related settings and view current settings on the
PremierWave XC using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network. (See
Using DeviceInstaller- See Page 26.)
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 XC Command Reference Guide for instructions and
available commands.)
XML: The PremierWave XC 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 XC Command Reference Guide for
instructions and commands.)
Addresses and Port Numbers
Hardware Address
The hardware address is also referred to as the Ethernet address or MAC address. The first three
bytes of the Ethernet address are fixed and read 00-20-4A, identifying the unit as a Lantronix
product. The fourth, fifth, and sixth bytes are unique numbers assigned to each unit.
Sample Hardware Address:
 00-20-4A-14-01-18
 00:20:4A:14:01:18
IP Address
Every device connected to an IP network must have a unique IP address. This address
references the specific unit.
Port Numbers
Every TCP connection and every UDP datagram is defined by a destination and source IP
address, and a destination and source port number. For example, a Telnet server commonly uses
TCP port number 23.
The following is a list of the default server port numbers running on the PremierWave XC:
 TCP Port 22: SSH Server (Command Mode configuration)
 TCP Port 23: Telnet Server (Command Mode configuration)
 TCP Port 80: HTTP (Web Manager configuration)
 UDP Port 161: SNMP
