Description
===========
    This utility provides users a single application, with a graphical 
    interface and utilizing Microsoft's .NET Framework, to access various
    configuration functions for Lantronix networking products. This makes it
    easy to perform initial setup, IP address assignment, firmware upgrades,
    and configuration changes.

Requirements
============
    The following items are required to run DeviceInstaller:

    1.  Windows 2000/2003 Server/XP/Vista.
    2.  Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0.
    3.  Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.1, or later.
    4.  30MB free hard drive space.
    
    Windows XP & Vista:

    The "Internet Connection Firewall" must be disabled, or else 
    UDP Port 30718 must be available.  Otherwise, you will not be 
    able to detect or communicate with any devices on the network.
    To configure, go to the Control Panel, go to Network Settings, 
    select the corresponding network adapter, choose Properties, and
    go to the Advanced tab.

Installation
============
    The DeviceInstaller is distributed in a single image as a self-extracting
    executable. It is included on the CD packaged with the device server.
    This utility can also be downloaded from the Lantronix website.

    1.	The application installation directory defaults to
        C:\Program Files\Lantronix\DeviceInstaller4.2, unless another folder is 
        selected during the installation process. 
    2.  A shortcut to this application is created on the Start/Programs menu. 

    NOTE: The Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 must be installed.  This comes
    installed on Windows Vista. If for some reason you received this setup
    utility without the .NET Framework, you can download it at the following URL:
