The Lantronix G520 series (G52x) gateway must be
configured before it can be used as the fail-over gateway.
The default admin user password must be changed to a new
password, and the DHCP server must be disabled. Please see
G520 User Guide for more information on how to change the
password.
NOTE: For full information on G520 series gateway setup, see the G520 Quick Start Guide.

3. CONNECT TO LANTRONIX SLC 8000 ADVANCED CONSOLE MANAGER / SLB BRANCH OFFICE MANAGER
The G520 series failover feature requires that both Ethernet ports be configured with a static IP address. Using the included Cat
5 Ethernet cable, connect the G520 series gateway to the Ethernet2 (Eth2) connection of your SLC 8000 or SLB console unit. To
complete your G520 series gateway set up, you may need to upgrade your SLC or SLB firmware to the appropriate version. (Minimum
firmware version: SLC 8000: 8.8.0.0; SLB: 7.6.0.0)
Log into your Lantronix SLB or SLC 8000 console web
manager. From the Network tab, change the Eth2 settings
to “Specify” and enter the IP address and Subnet Mask
shown below. It is also a best practice to “Specify” a
static IP address on the Eth1 interface for proper fail-over
functionality. NOTE: When Eth2 is used as the Fail-over Port,
Eth2 must be in the same subnet as the selected Fail-over
Device, Lantronix G52x Series Fail-over Gateway IP Address,
i.e. 192.168.1.20/24.
Under Fail-Over Settings, set IP address to Ping to a
remote host accessible only over Ethernet1 on your
network. When this IP address is unreachable, the SLC
or SLB will fail-over to the Gateway connected to the
Eth2 port.
Click Apply to accept changes. The SLC/SLB will make
the setting changes and your G520 series gateway will
reboot. This process typically takes from 2-5 minutes.
Fail-over is now enabled to your G520 series gateway.
