NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL Series Other Configuration Interfaces
Overview
Typically, you will use either NPort Administrator or the web console to configure the NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL.
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 (port 1 for DTL models), or to the Telnet console over one of the
Ethernet ports.
LCM Console (applies to DT models only)
The LCM console refers to the LCD control panel on the top panel of the NPort 5600-8-DT. The LCM console can
be used to view and modify basic settings, such as IP address. The MENU button activates the main menu. It
is also used to cancel a selection and return to a previous menu. The UP and DOWN buttons navigate between
available options. The SEL button selects an option or enters a submenu.
