2: Description and Specifications

Web-Based Configuration and Troubleshooting

Built upon popular Internet-based standards, the XPort AR enables users to
configure, manage, and troubleshoot efficiently through a simplified browser-based
interface that can be accessed anytime from anywhere. All configuration and
troubleshooting options are launched from a well-organized, multi-page interface.
Users can access all functionality via a Web browser, allowing them flexibility and
remote access. As a result, users can enjoy the advantages of decreased downtime
(based on the troubleshooting tools) and the ability to implement configuration
changes easily (based on the configuration tools).

Command-Line Interface (CLI)

Making the edge-to-enterprise vision a reality, the XPort AR 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.

SNMP Management

The XPort AR 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 AR.

XML-Based Architecture and Device Control

XML is a fundamental building block for the future growth of M2M networks. The
XPort AR supports XML-based configuration setup records that makes device
configuration transparent to users and administrators. The XML is easily editable with
a standard text or XML editor.

Rich Site Summary (RSS)

The XPort AR supports Rich Site Summary (RSS), a rapidly emerging technology for
streaming and managing on-line content. RSS feeds all the configuration changes
that occur on the device. The feed is then read (polled) by an RSS aggregator. 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

Without the need to disable any features or functionality, the Evolution OS™ provides
the XPort AR the highest level of 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 being transmitted across public networks,
users can maintain their existing investment in serial technology, while taking
advantage of the highest data-protection levels possible.
