Web GUI

2

When you first log in to the DSM’s Web GUI, you see a graphical layout of all DSCs and their status, as well as the devices they connect to. Note the options on the left to sort by geographical location as well as any number of filters such as client name.


Lantronix Conduit

This report shows which DSCs are currently connected to the DSM and which TCP ports they are using.


Configuration

4

After clicking on Configure and then the branch office DSC, I could configure network, device and system information. This is where most of the configuration takes place. Note that after clicking Save Profile, one must click Cancel to return to the main page of the GUI.

Configuring Ports

Once on the configuration page, clicking Configure Ports allows you to set TCP ports over which the DSM and DSC should try to tunnel.


DSC Installation

6

A DSC installs quickly and easily. Simply plug it in and insert the USB key with the bootstrap configuration on it, wait for the lights to flash, and when all three lights turn green a connection has been established to the DSM.


The DSM

7

Essentially the brains of the operation, the DSM provides a Web GUI for configuration and monitoring of DSCs and serves as a proxy through which all remote traffic is tunneled.
