    1515
    1616==== Initialization ====
    17 Upon startup the CM3 will fist contact broadcast over the network to discover the IP address that should belong to it. Assuming that the MAC address is already in DHCP, an IP address will be assigned to it, and from there the custom CM3 software takes over. Much of the configuration of the device is done through the XML configuration method. [[BR]]

    1919The following are configured through XML:
     
    2222 * Telnet ports
    2323
    24 After XML configuration is completed the CM3 will populate the network information back into variables set up in software. This is because a lot of the network information is only available through the XML configuration file and so to recollect it each time you need it takes a long time. The CM3 then sets up the HTTP commands, which allow some basic functions of the CM3 to be executed over XML, and the custom command line interface for the CM3, as described in table 2.

    2626==== UDP ====
    2727UDP was the standard method off communicating commands between the CMC and the CM, however it has not been removed as a method of control. All commands from the CMC now go over XML. 
    2828
     29==== XML ====
     30XML pages have been loaded onto lantronix device and return either success or failure wheh commands are entered through an http address.
     31
     32==== XML ====
     33A custom command line interface (CLI) level has been added to the factory default CLI levels specific to the CM operations.
     34 
    2935==== Flashing Firmware ====
    3036There are two primary methods to reflash a CM3, over the network and also through the serial port. This section will describe how to load new firmware onto the device using both methods. The latest 'known good image' can always be found on the [http://www.orbit-lab.org/browser/CM3/trunk/images SVN Repository]
