2: Introduction Web-Based Configuration and Troubleshooting Built upon popular Internet-based standards, the EDS 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.
Moreover, the EDS can not be used to bring down other devices on the network. The EDS can be used with Lantronix’s Secure Com Port Redirector (SCPR) to encrypt COM port-based communications between PCs and virtually any electronic device.
Applications EDS device servers deliver simple, reliable, and cost-effective network connectivity for all your serial devices and address the growing need to connect individual devices to the network over industry-standard Ethernet connections.

3: Installation: EDS4100 This chapter describes how to install the EDS4100 device server. Package Contents Your EDS4100 package includes the following items: One EDS4100 device server One RJ45-to-DB9Fnull modem cable One product CD that includes this User Guide, the Command Reference, and the Quick Start guide.
Identifying Hardware Components Figure 3-1 shows the hardware components on the front of the EDS4100. Figure 3-2 shows the hardware components on the back of the EDS4100. The bottom of the EDS4100 (not shown) has a product information label. This label contains the following information: Bar code Serial number...
Serial Ports The front of the EDS4100 has four male DB9 serial ports. These ports allow you to connect up to four standard serial devices: All four serial ports support RS-232 devices. See Figure 3-3 for pin assignments. Serial ports 1 and 3 also support RS-422 and RS-485 serial devices. Figure 3-4 for pin assignments.
Ethernet Port The back panel of the EDS4100 provides an RJ45 Ethernet port. This port can connect to an Ethernet (10 Mbps) or Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) network. The Speed LED on the back of the EDS4100 shows the connection of the attached Ethernet network. The EDS4100 can be configured to operate at a fixed Ethernet speed and duplex mode (half- or full-duplex) or auto-negotiate the connection to the Ethernet network.
Reset Button The reset button is on the back of the EDS4100, to the left of the power connector. Pressing this button reboots the EDS4100 and terminates all data activity occurring on the serial and Ethernet ports. Physically Installing the EDS4100 Finding a Suitable Location Place the EDS4100 on a flat horizontal or vertical surface.
Terminal block connector: Attach the power source to the terminal block connector on the back of the EDS4100. The terminal block connector supports a power range of 42 VDC to 56 VDC. The EDS4100 powers up automatically. After power-up, the self-test begins and Evolution OS™...
EDS8/16/32PR package. To connect the EDS8/16/32PR serial port to a DCE device, you need a straight-through (modem) cable.

6: Configuration Using the Web Manager This chapter describes how to configure the EDS using the Web Manager, Lantronix’s browser-based configuration tool. The unit’s configuration is stored in nonvolatile memory and retained without power. All changes take effect immediately, unless otherwise noted.
6: Configuration Using the Web Manager Note: The factory-default user name is admin and the factory-default password is PASS. After you log in to the Web Manager, we recommend you use the FTP page to change the default FTP password (see page 72), the HTTP Authentication Page to change the HTTP authentication password (see page 79), and the Command Line Interface Configuration Page to change the CLI password (see page 115).
Navigating Through the Web Manager The Web Manager provides an intuitive point-and-click interface. A menu bar at the left side of each page provides links you can click to navigate from one page to another. Some pages are read-only, while others let you change configuration settings. Note: There may be times when you must reboot the EDS for the new configuration settings to take effect.

C: Networking and Security This chapter describes the following networking and security concepts as they relate to the EDS: SSL ⎯ described below. SSH ⎯ see page Serial tunneling ⎯ see page This chapter concludes with a description of modem emulation (page 147). Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is an open-standard security protocol that provides privacy through encryption, server authentication, and message integrity.
How SSL Works SSL uses cryptography to deliver authentication and privacy to message transmission over the Internet. SSL permits the communication of client/server applications without eavesdropping and message tampering. SSL runs on layers between application protocols (HTTP, SMTP, etc.) and the TCP transport protocol.
Certificate provides the receiver with a way to encode a reply. Digital Certificates come in 40-bit and 128-bit versions. There are two principal ways that a Digital Certificate can be obtained. It can be bought from a certificate vendor or a user can "self-sign" his or her own certificate. With the latter method, a user can use various tools, both open source and proprietary, to sign his or her own Digital Certificate, saving the time and expense of going through a certificate vendor.
C: Networking and Security Tunneling Tunneling provides a way to create a connection between two serial devices across an untrusted network so the devices can share data. The sharing of information is achieved through a direct connection (or “serial tunnel”) between the two devices that encapsulates, authenticates, and encrypts the serial data into TCP packets and sends them across the Ethernet network.
Tunneling and the EDS Each EDS serial port supports two concurrent tunneling connections, Connect mode and Accept mode. These connections operate independently of the other EDS serial ports. In Connect mode, the EDS actively makes a connection. The receiving node on the network must listen for the Connect mode’s connection.
Connect Mode has six variations: Disabled (no connection) Enabled (always makes a connection) Active if it sees any character from the serial port (makes a connection upon receiving any character) Active if it sees a specific (configurable) character from the serial port Modem emulation (controlled by modem commands) Modem control asserted (makes a connection when the modem central signal on the serial line becomes active)
To clear out data from the serial buffers upon disconnecting, configure the EDS to flush serial data (see Packing Mode Packing mode takes data from the serial port, groups it together, and sends it out to nodes on the network. The groupings may be configured by size or by time intervals. The following settings are configurable for Packing mode: Enable or disable Packing mode Packing mode timeout.
Command Mode The Modem Emulation’s Command mode supports the standard AT command set. For a list of available commands from the serial or telnet login, enter AT?. Use ATDT, ATD, and ATDP to establish a connection: ATDT<Address Info> ATDP<Address Info> ATEn ATS0 = n ATQn...

(Since the remote port was not specified in the ATDT command, the remote port defined under Connect mode is used.) Entering ATDT 28.150 causes the EDS to assume the first two octets in the IP address and connects to the remote IP address 192.168.28.150, port 10001. Entering ATDT 150 causes the EDS to assume the first three octets and connects to the remote IP address 192.168.16.150, port 10001.
