Web-Based Configuration and Troubleshooting
Built upon Internet-based standards, the XPort Pro enables you to configure, manage, and
troubleshoot through a browser-based interface accessible anytime from anywhere. All
configuration and troubleshooting options are launched from a web interface. You can access all
functions via a Web browser, for remote access. As a result, you decrease downtime (using the
troubleshooting tools) and implement configuration changes (using the configuration tools).
Command-Line Interface (CLI)
Making the edge-to-enterprise vision a reality, the XPort Pro with the Evolution OS™ uses
industry-standard tools for configuration, communication, and control. For example, the Evolution
OS™ uses a Command Line Interface (CLI) whose syntax is very similar to that used by data
center equipment such as routers and hubs.
VIP Access
Virtual IP Access is the Lantronix technology that solves the access-through-firewall problem. With
VIP Access, the XPort Pro can act as a ManageLinx DSC and provide direct access to your
equipment behind a firewall.
SNMP Management
The XPort Pro supports full SNMP management, making it ideal for applications where device
management and monitoring are critical. These features allow networks with SNMP capabilities to
correctly diagnose and monitor XPort Pro.
XML-Based Architecture and Device Control
XML is a fundamental building block for the future growth of M2M networks. The XPort Pro
supports XML-based configuration setup records that make device configuration transparent to
users and administrators. The XML is easily editable with a standard text or XML editor.
Really Simple Syndication (RSS)
The XPort Pro supports Really Simple Syndication (RSS) for streaming and managing on-line
content. RSS feeds all the configuration changes that occur on the device. An RSS aggregator
then reads (polls) the feed. More powerful than simple email alerts, RSS uses XML as an
underlying Web page transport and adds intelligence to the networked device, while not taxing
already overloaded email systems.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Evolution OS™ provides the XPort Pro the highest level of networking security possible. This 'data
center grade' protection ensures that each device on the M2M network carries the same level of
security as traditional IT networking equipment in the corporate data center.
By protecting the privacy of serial data transmitted across public networks, users can maintain
their existing investment in serial technology, while taking advantage of the highest data-protection
levels possible.
SSH and SSL are able to do the following:
Verify the data received came from the proper source
Validate that the data transferred from the source over the network has not changed when it
arrives at its destination (shared secret and hashing)
