Overview
Typically, you will use either NPort Administrator or the web console to configure the NPort
5600-8-DT. These are not the only options for configuration. For basic onsite configuration, you
can use the LCM console built into the device server, without requiring a connection to the
network or a laptop. You may also connect to the serial console over the serial console port, or to
the Telnet console over one of the Ethernet ports.
LCM Console
