nectors automatically detect the available data transfer speeds and the
pin assignment (autosensing).

Use only standard TP cables of category CAT 5 or better with a maxi-
mum length of 100 m to ensure the best possible transfer of data.
Cross-over cables can be used thanks to the auto-sensing function.

Configuration options
There are two different methods of configuring the device:
K
By means of a graphical user interface or via a browser (WEBconfig). This
option is only available if you have network access to the device's IP
address from your computer. The computers require an operating system
that supports TCP/IP, e.g. Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista™,
Windows XP, Linux, BSD Unix, Apple Mac OS and also access to the LAN
via the TCP/IP protocol.
K
Text-orientated configuration via a console (Command Line Interface –
CLI): This method of configuration, which requires a program such as SSH,
Telnet, Hyperterminal, or similar, can be conducted over a network con-
nection or with a direct connection via serial interface (RS-232).
When working with Windows, you can use the LANtools to detect and monitor
the LANCOM switch.
K
LANconfig is the Windows configuration program for all LANCOM
devices. LANconfig searches for all LANCOM devices in your network. You
can use this to start the Web-based configuration of a LANCOM switch.
