2: Introduction  
Additional Features  
Modem Emulation  
In modem emulation mode, the EDS can replace dial-up modems. The unit accepts modem AT  
commands on the serial port, and then establishes a network connection to the end device,  
leveraging network connections and bandwidth to eliminate dedicated modems and phone lines.  
Web-Based Configuration and Troubleshooting  
Built upon Internet-based standards, the EDS 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 EDS 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 EDS can act as a ManageLinx DSC and provide direct access to your equipment  
behind a firewall.  
SNMP Management  
The EDS 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 EDS.  
XML-Based Architecture and Device Control  
XML is a fundamental building block for the future growth of M2M networks. The EDS 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 EDS 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 EDS 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.

2: Introduction  
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)  
Encrypt data to protect it from prying eyes and nefarious individuals  
Provide the ability to run popular M2M protocols over a secure SSH or SSL connection  
In addition to keeping data safe and accessible, the EDS has robust defenses to hostile Internet  
attacks such as denial of service (DoS), which can be used to take down the network. Moreover,  
the EDS cannot be used to bring down other devices on the network.  
You can use the EDS with the Lantronix Secure Com Port Redirector (SCPR) to encrypt COM  
port-based communications between PCs and virtually any electronic device. SCPR is a Windows  
application that creates a secure communications path over a network between the computer and  
serial-based devices that are traditionally controlled via a COM port. With SCPR installed at each  
computer, computers that were formerly “hard-wired” by serial cabling for security purposes or to  
accommodate applications that only understood serial data can instead communicate over an  
Ethernet network or the Internet.  
Terminal Server/Device Management  
Remote offices can have routers, PBXs, servers and other networking equipment that require  
remote management from the corporate facility. The EDS easily attaches to the serial ports on a  
server, Private Branch Exchange (PBX), or other networking equipment to deliver central, remote  
monitoring and management capability.  
Troubleshooting Capabilities  
The EDS offers a comprehensive diagnostic toolset that lets you troubleshoot problems quickly  
and easily. Available from the Web Manager, CLI, and XML interfaces, the diagnostic tools let you:  
View critical hardware, memory, MIB-II, buffer pool, and IP socket information.  
Perform ping and traceroute operations.  
Conduct forward or backup DNS lookup operations.  
View all processes currently running on the EDS, including CPU utilization and total stack  
space available.  
Configuration Methods  
After installation, the EDS requires configuration. For the unit to operate correctly on a network, it  
must have a unique IP address on the network. There are four basic methods for logging into the  
EDS and assigning IP addresses and other configurable settings:  
DeviceInstaller: Configure the IP address and related settings and view current settings on the  
using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network. See Using DeviceInstaller

2: Introduction  
Web Manager: Through a web browser, configure the EDS settings using the Lantronix Web  
Command Mode: There are two methods for accessing Command Mode (CLI): making a Telnet  
connection or connecting a terminal (or a PC running a terminal emulation program) to the unit’s  
serial port. (See the EDS Command Reference Guide for instructions and available commands.)  
XML: The EDS supports XML-based configuration and setup records that make device  
configuration transparent to users and administrators. XML is easily editable with a standard text  
or XML editor. (See the EDS Command Reference Guide for instructions and commands.)  
Addresses and Port Numbers  
Hardware Address  
The hardware address is also referred to as the Ethernet address or MAC address. The first three  
bytes of the Ethernet address are fixed and read 00-20-4A, identifying the unit as a Lantronix  
product. The fourth, fifth, and sixth bytes are unique numbers assigned to each unit.  
Figure 2-4 Sample Hardware Address  
00-20-4A-14-01-18  
or  
00:20:4A:14:01:18  
IP Address  
Every device connected to an IP network must have a unique IP address. This address references  
the specific unit.  
Port Numbers  
Every TCP connection and every UDP datagram is defined by a destination and source IP  
address, and a destination and source port number. For example, a Telnet server commonly uses  
port number 23.  
The following is a list of the default server port numbers running on the EDS:  
TCP Port 22: SSH Server (Command Mode configuration)  
TCP Port 23: Telnet Server (Command Mode configuration)  
TCP Port 80: HTTP (Web Manager configuration)  
TCP Port 443: HTTPS (Web Manager configuration)  
UDP Port 161: SNMP  
TCP Port 21: FTP  
UDP Port 69: TFTP  
UDP Port 514: Syslog  
TCP Port 515: LPD  
UDP Port 30718: LDP (Lantronix Discovery Protocol) port

Tunnel Settings  
Note: The number of lines and tunnels available for viewing and configuration differ  
between Lantronix DeviceLinx products. For example, an XPort Pro and EDS1100  
support only one line while other device networking products (such as EDS2100,  
EDS4100, XPort AR, EDS8/16PS and EDS8/16/32PR) provide additional lines and  
tunnels.  
Tunneling allows serial devices to communicate over a network, without “being aware” of the  
devices which establish the network connection between them. Tunneling parameters are  
configured using the Web Manager or Command Mode Tunnel Menu. See Configuration Using  
Web Manager (on page 43) or the EDS Command Reference for the full list of commands.  
The EDS supports two tunneling connections simultaneously per serial port. One of these  
connections is Connect Mode; the other connection is Accept Mode. The connections on one  
serial port are separate from those on another serial port.  
Connect Mode: the EDS actively makes a connection. The receiving node on the network  
must listen for the Connect Mode’s connection. Connect Mode is disabled by default.  
Accept Mode: the EDS listens for a connection. A node on the network initiates the  
connection. Accept Mode is enabled by default.  
Disconnect Mode: this mode defines how an open connection stops the forwarding of data.  
The specific parameters to stop the connection are configurable. Once the EDS Disconnect  
Mode observes the defined event occur, it will disconnect both Accept Mode and Connect  
Mode connections on that port.  
When any character comes in through the serial port, it gets copied to both the Connect Mode  
connection and the Accept Mode connection (if both are active).  
View statistics and configure a specific tunnel by using the Tunnel web page. When you select  
Tunnel from the Main Menu, tunnels available for your product will display. Select a specific tunnel  
to configure.  
The following sub-menus listed may be used to configure a specific tunnel:

6. Repeat above steps as desired, according to additional tunnel(s) available on your product.  
Tunnel – Packing Mode  
Packing Mode takes data from the serial port, packs it together, and sends it over the network.  
Packing can be configured based on threshold (size in bytes, timeout (milliseconds), or a single  
character.  
Size is set by modifying the threshold field. When the number of bytes reaches the threshold, a  
packet is sent immediately.  
The timeout field is used to force a packet to be sent after a maximum time. The packet is sent  
even if the threshold value is not reached.  
When Send Character is configured, a single printable character or control character read on the  
Serial Line forces the packet to be sent immediately. There is an optional trailing character  
parameter which can be specified. It can be a single printable character or a control character.  
To configure the Packing Mode for a specific tunnel:  
1. Select Tunnel on the menu bar, if you are not already in the Tunnel web page.  
2. Select a tunnel number at the top of the page.

Tunnel – Accept Mode  
Controls how a specific tunnel number behaves when a connection attempt originates from the  
network. In Accept Mode, the EDS waits for a connection from the network. The configurable local  
port is the port the remote device connects to for this connection. There is no remote port or  
address. The default local port is 10001 for serial port 1 and increases sequentially for each  
additional serial port, if supported.  
Accept Mode supports the following protocols:  
SSH (the EDS is the server in Accept Mode). When using this protocol, the SSH server  
host keys and at least one SSH authorized user must be configured.  
SSL  
TCP  
AES encryption over TCP  
Telnet (The EDS supports IAC codes. It drops the IAC codes when Telnetting and does  
not forward them to the serial port).  
Accept Mode has the following states:  
Disabled (never a connection)  
Enabled (always listening for a connection)  
Active if it receives any character from the serial port  
Active if it receives a specific (configurable) character from the serial port (same start  
character as Connect Mode’s start character)

Tunnel – Connect Mode  
Connect Mode defines how the device makes an outgoing connection through a specific tunnel.  
When enabled, Connect Mode is always on and attempting a network connection if the connection  
mode condition warrants it. For Connect Mode to function, it must:  
Be enabled  
Have a remote host configured  
Have a remote port configured  
Enter the remote host address as an IP address or DNS name. The EDS device will make a  
connection only if it can resolve the address. For DNS names, the EDS will re-evaluate the  
address after being established for 4 hours. If re-evaluation results in a different address, it will  
close the connection.  
Connect Mode supports the following protocols:  
TCP  
AES encryption over TCP and UDP  
When setting AES encryption, both the encrypt key and the decrypt key must be specified.  
The encrypt key is used for data sent out. The decrypt key is used for receiving data. Both of  
the keys may be set to the same value.  
SSH  
To configure SSH, the SSH client username must be configured. In Connect Mode, the EDS is  
the SSH client. Ensure the EDS SSH client username is configured on the remote SSH server  
before using it with the EDS.  
SSL  
UDP  
Is only available in Connect Mode because it is a connectionless protocol. For Connect Mode  
using UDP, the EDS accepts packets from any device on the network. It will send packets to  
the last device that sent it packets.  
Telnet  
Note: The Local Port in Connect Mode is independent of the port configured in Accept  
Mode.  
There are six different connect modes:  
Note: While in the “Any Character” or “Start  
Character” connection modes, the EDS  
waits and retries the connection if the  
connection cannot be made. Once it makes  
a connection and then disconnects, it will  
not reconnect until it sees another character  
or the start character again (depending on  
the configured setting).  
Disable  
No connection is attempted.  
Always  
A connection is always attempted.  
Any Character  
A connection is attempted if it detects any  
character from the serial port.

Note: See Connecting Multiple Hosts on page 70 for more information.  
Reconnect Timer  
Enter the reconnect time in milliseconds. The device attempts to reconnect after  
this amount of time after failing a connection or exiting an existing connection.  
This behavior depends upon the Disconnect Mode.  
Note:  
When you configure Tunnel - Connect Mode, you can specify a number  
of milliseconds to attempt to reconnect after a dropped connection has  
occurred. The default is 1500 milliseconds.  
The Reconnect Timer only applies if a Disconnect Mode is configured.  
With a Disconnect Mode set, the device server maintains a connection  
until the disconnect mode condition is met (at which time the device server  
closes the connection). If the tunnel is dropped due to conditions beyond  
the device server, the device server attempts to re-establish a failed  
connection when the specified reconnect interval reaches its limit.  
Any network-side disconnect is considered an error and a reconnect is  
attempted without regard to the Connect Mode settings. Simultaneous  
Connect Mode connections require some Disconnect Mode  
configurations or the connections will never terminate. See Tunnel –  
Disconnect Mode on page 71 for more information about the parameters.  
If Disconnect Mode is disabled and the network connection is dropped,  
then the re-establishment of a tunnel connection is governed by the  
configured Connect Mode settings.

Tunnel – Modem Emulation  
A tunnel in Connect Mode can be initiated using modem commands incoming from the Serial Line.  
This page enables you to configure the modem emulation settings when you select Modem  
Emulation as the Tunnel Connect Mode type.  
The Modem Emulation 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. All of these commands behave like a modem. For commands that are valid  
but not applicable to the EDS, an “OK” message is sent (but the command is silently ignored).  
The EDS attempts to make a Command Mode connection as per the IP/DNS/port numbers  
defined in Connect Mode. It is possible to override the remote address, as well as the remote port  
number.  
The following table lists and describes the available commands.

Command (continued)  
ATS0=n  
Description  
Accept incoming connection.  
N value of 0—Disable  
N value of 1—Connect automatically  
N value of 2+—Connect with ATA command.  
ATA  
A/  
Answer incoming connection (if ATS0 is 2 or greater).  
Repeat last valid command.  
For commands that can take address information (ATD, ATDT, ATDP), the destination address  
can be specified by entering the IP Address, or entering the IP Address and port number. For  
example, <ipaddress>:<port>. The port number cannot be entered on its own.  
For ATDT and ATDP commands less than 255 characters, the EDS replaces the last segment of  
the IP address with the configured Connect Mode remote station address. It is possible to use the  
last two segments also, if they are under 255 characters. For example, if the address is  
100.255.15.5, entering “ATDT 16.6” results in 100.255.16.6.  
When using ATDT and ATDP, enter 0.0.0.0 to switch to the Command Line Interface (CLI). Once  
the CLI is exited by using the CLI exit command, the EDS reverts to modem emulation mode. By  
default, the +++ characters are not passed through the connection. Turn on this capability using  
the modem echo pluses command.  
To configure modem emulation for a specific tunnel:  
1. Select Tunnel on the menu bar, if you are not already in the Tunnel web page.  
2. Select a tunnel number at the top of the page.  
3. Select Modem Emulation. The Modem Emulation page for the specific tunnel appears.

The EDS device supports Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSH is a network  
protocol for securely accessing a remote device. SSH provides a secure, encrypted  
communication channel between two hosts over a network. It provides authentication and  
message integrity services.  
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol that manages data transmission security over the  
Internet. It uses digital certificates for authentication and cryptography against eavesdropping and  
tampering. It provides encryption and message integrity services. SSL is widely used for secure  
communication to a web server. SSL uses certificates and private keys.  
Note: The EDS supports SSLv3 and its successors, TLS1.0 and TLS1.1. An incoming  
SSlv2 connection attempt is answered with an SSlv3 response. If the initiator also  
supports SSLv3, SSLv3 handles the rest of the connection.

SSH Settings  
SSH is a network protocol for securely accessing a remote device over an encrypted channel. This  
protocol manages the security of internet data transmission between two hosts over a network by  
providing encryption, authentication, and message integrity services.  
Two instances require configuration: when the EDS is the SSH server and when it is an SSH  
client. The SSH server is used by the CLI (Command Mode) and for tunneling in Accept Mode.  
The SSH client is for tunneling in Connect Mode.  
To configure the EDS as an SSH server, there are two requirements:  
Defined Host Keys: both private and public keys are required. These keys are used for the  
Diffie-Hellman key exchange (used for the underlying encryption protocol).  
Defined Users: these users are permitted to connect to the EDS SSH server.  
This page has four links at the top for viewing and changing SSH server host keys, SSH server  
authorized keys, SSH client known hosts, and SSH client users.

SSH Server Host Keys  
SSH Host Keys can be obtained in a few different ways:  
Uploading keys via PUTTY or other tools which generate RFC4716 format keys.  
Creating keys through the EDS.  
The steps for creating or uploading keys is described below.  
To upload SSH server host keys generated from PuTTY:  
1. Create the keys with puttygen.exe. The keys are in PuTTY format.  
2. Use puttygen.exe again to convert the private key to Open SSH format as follows:  
a. Import the private key using "Conversions…Import key."  
b. Create a new file using "Conversions…Export OpenSSH key."  
3. Use ssh-keygen to convert the public key to OpenSSH format.  
ssh-keygen -i -f putty_file > openssh_file  
4. Select SSH on the menu bar and SSH Server: Host Keys at the top of the page. The SSH

SSL Settings  
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol for managing the security of data transmission over the  
Internet. It provides encryption, authentication, and message integrity services. SSL is widely used  
for secure communication to a web server.  
Certificate/Private key combinations can be obtained from an external Certificate Authority (CA)  
and downloaded into the unit. Self-signed certificates with associated private key can be  
generated by the device server itself.  
For more information regarding Certificates and how to obtain them, see SSL Certificates and  
SSL uses digital certificates for authentication and cryptography against eavesdropping and  
tampering. Sometimes only the server is authenticated, sometimes both server and client. The  
EDS can be server and/or client, depending on the application. Public key encryption systems  
exchange information and keys and set up the encrypted tunnel.  
Efficient symmetric encryption methods encrypt the data going through the tunnel after it is  
established. Hashing provides tamper detection.  
Applications that can make use of SSL are Tunneling, Secure Web Server, and WLAN interface.  
The EDS supports SSlv3 and its successors, TLS1.0 and TLS1.1.  
Note: An incoming SSlv2 connection attempt is answered with an SSlv3 response. If the  
initiator also supports SSLv3, SSLv3 handles the rest of the connection.  
SSL Cipher Suites  
The SSL standard defines only certain combinations of certificate type, key exchange method,  
symmetric encryption, and hash method. Such a combination is called a cipher suite. Supported  
cipher suites include the following:  
Table 12-13 Supported Cipher Suites  
Certificate

SSL Certificates  
The goal of a certificate is to authenticate its sender. It is analogous to a paper document that  
contains personal identification information and is signed by an authority, for example a notary or  
government agency.  
The principles of Security Certificate required that in order to sign other certificates, the authority  
uses a private key. The published authority certificate contains the matching public key that allows  
another to verify the signature but not recreate it.  
The authority’s certificate can be signed by itself, resulting in a self-signed or trusted-root  
certificate, or by another (higher) authority, resulting in an intermediate authority certificate. You  
can build up a chain of intermediate authority certificates, and the last certification will always be a  
trusted-root certificate.  
An authority that signs another certificates is also called a Certificate Authority (CA). The last in  
line is then the root-CA. VeriSign is a famous example of such a root-CA. Its certificate is often  
built into web browsers to allow verifying the identity of website servers, which need to have  
certificates signed by VeriSign or another public CA. Since obtaining a certificate signed by a CA  
that is managed by another company can be expensive, it is possible to have your own CA. Tools  
exist to generate self-signed CA certificates or to sign other certificates.  
A certificate request is a certificate that has not been signed and only contains the identifying  
information. Signing it makes it a certificate. A certificate is also used to sign any message  
transmitted to the peer to identify the originator and prevent tampering while transported.  
When using HTTPS, SSL Tunneling in Accept mode, and/or EAP-TLS, the EDS needs a personal  
certificate with a matching private key to identify itself and sign its messages. When using SSL  
Tunneling in Connect mode and/or EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS or PEAP, the EDS needs the authority  
certificate that can authenticate users with which it wishes to communicate.  
SSL RSA or DSA  
As mentioned above, the certificates contain a public key. Different key exchange methods require  
different public keys and thus different styles of certificate. The EDS supports key exchange  
methods that require a RSA-style certificate and key exchange methods that require a DSA-style  
certificate. If only one of these certificates is stored in the EDS, only those key exchange methods  
that can work with that style certificate are enabled. RSA is sufficient in most cases.  
SSL Certificates and Private Keys  
You can obtain a certificate by completing a certificate request and sending it to a certificate  
authority that will create a certificate/key combo, usually for a fee. Or generate your own. A few  
utilities exist to generate self-signed certificates or sign certificate requests. The EDS also has the  
ability to generate its own self-signed certificate/key combo.  
You can use XML to export the certificate in PEMformat, but you cannot export the key. Hence the  
internal certificate generator can only be used for certificates that are to identify that particular  
EDS.  
Certificates and private keys can be stored in several file formats. Best known are PKCS12, DER  
and PEM. Certificate and key can be inthe same file or in separate files. The key can be encrypted  
with a password or not. The EDS currently only accepts separate PEM files. The key needs to be  
unencrypted.

SSL Utilities  
Several utilities exist to convert between the formats.  
OpenSSL  
Open source set of SSL related command line utilities. It can act as server or client. It can  
generate or sign certificate requests. It can convert all kinds of formats. Executables are available  
for Linux and Windows. To generate a self-signed RSA certificate/key combo use the following  
commands in the order shown:  
openssl req –x509 –nodes –days 365 –newkey rsa:1024 –keyout  
mp_key.pem –out mp_cert.pem  
www.openssl.org or www.madboa.com/geek/openssl for more information.  
Steel Belted RADIUS  
Commercial RADIUS server by Juniper Networks that provides a GUI administration interface. It  
also provides a certificate request and self-signed certificate generator. The self-signed certificate  
has extension .sbrpvk and is in the PKCS12 format. OpenSSL can convert this into a PEM format  
certificate and key by using the following commands in the order shown:  
openssl pkcs12 -in sbr_certkey.sbrpvk -nodes -out sbr_certkey.pem  
The sbr_certkey.pem file contains both certificate and key. If loading the SBR certificate into EDS  
as an authority, you will need to edit it.  
1. Open the file in any plain text editor.  
2. Delete all info before the following: “----- BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----“  
3. Delete all info after the following: “----- END CERTIFICATE-----“  
4. Save as sbr_cert.pem. SBR accepts trusted-root certificates in the DER format.  
5. Again, OpenSSL can convert any format into DER by using the following commands in the  
order shown:  
openssl x509 -inform pem -in mp_cert.pem -outform der -out  
mp_cert.der  
Note: With SBR, when the identity information includes special characters such as  
dashes and periods, SBR changes the format it uses to store these strings and becomes  
incompatible with the current EDS release. We will add support for this and other formats  
in future releases. Free RADIUS—Linux open-source RADIUS server. It is versatile, but  
complicated to configure.

32PR and EDS8/16PS.  
Modbus ASCII/RTU based serial slave devices can be connected via the ethernet through an  
existing Modbus TCP/IP network. Any device having access to a given Modbus implementation  
will be able to perform full range of operations that the implementation supports. Modbus/TCP  
use a reserved TCP port of 502 and include a single byte function code (1=255) preceded by a 6  
byte header:  
Table 13-1 6 Byte Header of Modbus Application Protocol  
Transaction ID (2 bytes)  
Protocol ID (2 bytes)  
Length (2 bytes)  
Identification of request/response transaction - copied by slave  
0 - Modbus protocol  
Number of following bytes includes the unit identifier  
Identification of remove slave  
Address (1 byte)  
Serial Transmission Mode  
Evolution products can be set up to communicate on standard Modbus networks using either RTU  
or ASCII. Users select the desired mode and serial port communication parameters (baud rate,  
parity mode, etc) during the line configuration.

Description  
TCP Settings  
Send RSTs  
Click Enabled to send RSTs or Disabled to stop sending RSTs. TCP contains six  
control bits, with one or more defined in each packet. RST is one of the control  
bits. The RST bit is responsible for telling the receiving TCP stack to end a  
connection immediately.  
Note: Setting the RSTs may pose a security risk.  
Ack Limit  
Send Data  
Enter a number to limit how many packets get received before an ACKgets forced.  
If there is a large amount of data to acknowledge, an ACK gets forced. If the  
sender TCP implementation waits for an ACK before sending more data even  
though the window is open, setting the Ack Limit to 1 packet improves  
performance by forcing immediate acknowledgements.  
The Send Data selection governs when data may be sent into the network. The  
Standard implementation waits for an ACK before sending a packet less than the  
maximum length. Select Expedited to send data whenever the window allows it.

XML Settings  
EDS allows for the configuration of devices by using XML configuration records (XCRs). You can  
export an existing configuration for use on other EDS devices or import a saved configuration file.  
On the XML: Export Configuration web page, you can export the current system configuration in  
XML format. The generated XML file canbe imported later to restore a configuration. It can also be  
modified and imported to update the configuration on this EDS unit or another. The XML data can  
be exported to the browser window or to a file on the file system.  
By default, all groups are selected except those pertaining to the network configuration. This is so  
that if you later import the entire XML configuration, it will not break your network connectivity. You  
may select or clear the checkbox for any group.  
In the XML: Import System Configuration Page you can import a system configuration from an  
XML file. The XML data can be imported from a file on the file system or uploaded using HTTP.  
The groups to import can be specified by toggling the respective group item or entering a filter  
string. When toggling a group item, all instances of that group will be imported. The filter string can  
be used to import specific instances of a group. The text format of this string is:  
<g>:<i>;<g>:<i>;...  
For example, if you only wanted to import the line 1 setting from an XCR, use a filter string of  
line:1.  
Each group name <g> is followed by a colon and the instance value <i>. Each <g> :<i> value is  
separated with a semicolon. If a group has no instance, specify the group name <g> only.  
The number of lines available for importing and exporting differ between Lantronix DeviceLinx  
products. The screenshots in this chapter represent one line, as available, for example, on an  
XPort Pro and EDS1100. However, other device networking products (such as EDS2100,  
EDS4100, XPort AR, EDS8/16PS and EDS8/16/32PR) support additional lines.

16: VIP Settings  
VIP (Virtual IP) takes advantage of the Lantronix ManageLinx technology that solves the access-  
through-firewall problem. ManageLinx utilizes existing network infrastructure to create a virtual  
device network (VDN). The VDN provides direct access to only authorized equipment, behind  
firewalls, from anywhere via the net.  
ManageLinx is a secure and totally transparent remote access solution. The VDN technology  
enables you to create dedicated TCP/IP connections between any two devices, using easily  
deployed hardware appliances. There is no client software to install. No changes are required to  
network software or applications at either end of the connection.  
The VDN hardware consists of a publicly accessible Device Services Manager (DSM) and  
individual Device Services Controller (DSC) appliances in multiple locations. Together, these two  
components enable you to set up and manage individual Virtual IP (VIP) addresses and routes.  
The EDS, with VIP enabled, takes the place of a DSC and provides direct access to your  
equipment.  
The EDS supports both Accept and Connect Mode tunneling through VIPs. Configuring an EDS to  
use VIP Access involves:  
Once the EDS is configured and enabled to use VIPs, it will immediately attempt to establish a  
conduit with the ManageLinx DSM. Once the conduit is up, tunneling via VIP Access is ready to  
go. This chapter also contains the following VIP sections:  
Obtaining a Bootstrap File  
The ManageLinx XML bootstrap file is an XML file that contains the information required to contact  
and authenticate to a DSM. This file must be generated and sent to you by the DSM administrator.  
See the ManageLinx documentation for more details.  
Importing the Bootstrap File  
To configure an EDS to use VIP Access, import the bootstrap file as you would any XML  
Configuration Record (XCR). For instructions on importing XCRs see Advanced Settings (on page  
134).  
EDS User Guide  
147  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
             
16: VIP Settings  
Enabling VIP  
Once the bootstrap file has been imported, VIP Access can be enabled and a conduit with the  
DSM will be established. The VIP Statistics shows the current state of the conduit. When  
configured correctly, a conduit with the DSM will be maintained at all times.  
Configuring Tunnels to Use VIP  
Configuring Connect Mode tunnels to use VIP is a simple matter of configuring a tunnel as is  
normally done, but also enabling VIP in the Tunnel Host settings, and using a VIP Name for the  
address.  
VIP Accept Mode tunnels do not require special configuration. If VIP access is enabled (in the VIP  
configuration page), then VIP Accept Mode requests from a ManageLinx device will be accepted.

17: Branding the EDS  
This chapter describes how to brand your EDS by using Web Manager and Command Line  
Interface (CLI). It contains the following sections on customization:  
Web Manager Customization  
Customize the Web Manager’s appearance by modifying index.html and style.css. The style  
(fonts, colors, and spacing) of the Web Manager is controlled with style.css and the text and  
graphics are controlled with index.html.  
The Web Manager files are hidden and are incorporated directly into the firmware image but may  
be overridden by placing the appropriate file in the appropriate directory on the EDS file system.  
Web Manager files can be retrieved and overridden with the following procedure:  
1. FTP to the EDS device.  
2. Make a directory (mkdir) and name it http/config  
3. Change to the directory (cd) that you created in step 2. (http/config)  
4. Get the file by using get <filename>  
5. Modify the file as required or create a new one with the same name  
6. Put the file by using put <filename>  
7. Type quit. The overriding files appear in the file system’s http/config directory.  
8. Restart any open browser to view the changes.  
9. If you wish to go back to the default files in the firmware image, simply delete the overriding  
files from the file system.  
Short and Long Name Customization  
Short and long names may be customized in Web Manager according to the directions in System  
the CLI show command and in the System web page in the Current Configuration table. The short  
name is used for the show command. Both names display in the CLI Product Type field in the  
following example:  
(enable)# show  
The long and short names appear in the Product Type field in the following format:  
Product Type: <long name> (<short name>)  
For example:  
(enable)# show EDS

Appendix B - Binary to Hexadecimal Conversions  
Many of the unit’s configuration procedures require you to assemble a series of options  
(represented as bits) into a complete command (represented as a byte).  
The resulting binary value must be converted to a hexadecimal representation.  
Use this chapter to learn to convert binary values to hexadecimals or to look up hexadecimal  
values in the tables of configuration options. The tables include:  
Command Mode (serial string sign-on message)  
AES Keys  
Converting Binary to Hexadecimal  
Conversion Table  
Hexadecimal digits have values ranging from 0 to F, which are represented as 0-9, A (for 10), B  
(for 11), etc. To convert a binary value (for example, 0100 1100) to a hexadecimal representation,  
treat the upper and lower four bits separately to produce a two-digit hexadecimal number (in this  
case, 4C). Use the following table to convert values from binary to hexadecimal.

Rackmontage  
Bei Montage in ein geschlossenes Rack oder in ein Rack mit mehreren Einheiten ist unter  
Umständen eine weitere Prüfung erforderlich. Folgende Punkte sind zu berücksichtigen.  
Die Umgebungstemperatur innerhalb des Racks kann höher sein als die  
Raumtemperatur. Die Installation muss so durchgeführt werden, dass der für den sicheren  
Betrieb erforderliche Luftstrom nicht beeinträchtigt wird. In dieser Umgebung darf die

maximale Temperatur von 50°C nicht überschritten werden. Dabei sind auch die  
maximalen Auslegungstemperaturen zu berücksichtigen.  
Die Installation ist so durchzuführen, dass auch bei ungleichmäßiger Lastverteilung die  
Stabilität gewährleistet bleibt.  
Energiezufuhr  
Anhand der Angaben auf dem jeweiligen Typenschild ist sicherzustellen, dass keine Überlastung  
an der Einspeisung erfolgt, die den Überstromschutz und die Versorgungsleitungen beeinträchtigt.  
Erdung  
Eine zuverlässige Schutzerdung dieser Ausrüstung muss gewährleistet sein. Dies gilt besonders  
bei Anschluss an Mehrfachsteckdosen.  
Installation Instructions  
Rack Mounting  
If rack mounted units are installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, they may require further  
evaluation by certification agencies. You must consider the following items:  
The ambient conditions within the rack may be greater than the room conditions.  
Installation should be so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation is not  
compromised. The maximum temperature for the equipment in this environment is 50°C.  
Consideration should be given to the maximum rated ambient conditions.  
Installation should be so thata hazardous stability condition is not achieved due to uneven  
loading.  
Input Supply  
Check nameplate ratings to assure there is no overloading of supply circuits that have an effect on  
over current protection and supply wiring.  
Grounding  
Reliable earthing of this equipment must be maintained. Particular attention should be given to  
supply connections when connecting to power strips, rather than direct connections to the branch  
circuit strips.
