Safety Information

This section describes the safety precautions that should be followed when installing and

operating the EDS-MD.

Warning: This equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable

anaesthetic mixture including air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.

Cover

Warning: Do not remove the cover of the EDS-MD. There are no user-serviceable

parts inside. Opening or removing the cover may expose you to

dangerous voltage that could cause fire or electric shock. Do not

operate the EDS-MD if the housing is broken.

Note: Refer all servicing to Lantronix.

Power Plug



When disconnecting the power cable from the socket, pull on the plug, not the cord.



Always connect the power cord to a properly wired and grounded power source. Do not use

adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from the cord.



Only use a power cord with a voltage and current rating greater than the voltage and current

rating marked on the unit.

Note: Unit is shipped with a power cord for medical application.



Install the unit near an AC outlet that is easily accessible.

Always connect any equipment used with the product to properly wired and grounded power

sources.



To help protect the product from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical

power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

Do not connect or disconnect this product during an electrical storm.

Input Supply



Check nameplate ratings to assure there is no overloading of supply circuits that could affect

over current protection and supply wiring.

Grounding



Maintain reliable grounding of this product.



Pay particular attention to supply connections when connecting to power strips, rather than

directly to the branch circuit.

Fuses

There are fuses on the internal power supply serviceable only by Lantronix.

Battery

A Lithium battery cell inside the unit maintains the unit's date and time when the device is powered

off. Do not attempt to replace it. The battery is serviceable only by Lantronix.

Caution: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED.

REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE

RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. DISPOSE OF USED

BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS.

Attention: IL Y A DANGER D'EXPLOSION S'IL Y A REMPLACEMENT INCORRECT

DE LA BATTERIE, REMPLACER UNIQUEMENT AVEC UNE BATTERIE

DU MÊME TYPE OU D'UN TYPE ÉQUIVALENT RECOMMANDÉ PAR LE

CONSTRUCTEUR. METTRE AU REBUT LES BATTERIES USAGÉES

CONFORMÉMENT AUX INSTRUCTIONS DU FABRICANT.

Wall Mounting

If wall-mounted units are installed, the following items must be considered:



Do not install the unit in such a way that a hazardous stability condition results because of

uneven loading. A drop or fall could cause injury.



Make sure to install the EDS-MD in an environment with an ambient temperature less than the

maximum operating temperature of the EDS-MD. Therefore, consideration should be given to

installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature

(Tma) specified by the manufacturer.



Install the equipment on a wall in such a way that the amount of airflow required for safe

operation of the equipment is not compromised.

Maintain reliable earthing of wall-mounted equipment. Give particular attention to supply

connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips)

because of the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and

supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used

when addressing this concern.



Before operating the EDS-MD, make sure the EDS-MD mounting is secured.

Port Connections



Only connect the network port to an Ethernet network that supports 10 Base-T/100 Base-TX/

1000 Base-T.

Only connect device ports to equipment with serial ports that support EIA-232 (formerly RS-

232C).

Unless specified otherwise, only connect USB ports to USB thumb drives.

Warning: To avoid overloading and overheating, do not use a USB port as a

charger port or a power port for other devices such as a cellular phone,

PDA device, disk drive, etc.

Tunnel Settings

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 Tunnel menu and submenus.The Tunnel settings allow you to configure how

the Serial-Network tunneling operates. Tunneling is available on all serial Lines. The connections

on one serial Line are separate from those on another serial port.

Note: The following section describes the steps to view and configure Tunnel 1 settings;

these steps apply to other tunnel instances of the device.

Serial Settings

These serial settings for the tunnel apply to the Serial Line interface. The Line Settings and

threshold, then the data will be sent on the network. Valid range is 100 to

1450 bytes. Default is 512.

Timeout

Set the timeout value, in milliseconds, after the first character is received on

the serial Line, before data is sent on the network. Valid range is 1 to 30000

milliseconds. Default is 1000.

Send Character

Enter Control Characters in any of the following forms:

 <control>J

 0xA (hexadecimal)

 \10 (decimal)

If used, the Send Character is a single printable character or a control

character that, when read on the Serial Line, forces the queued data to be

sent on the network immediately.

Trailing Character

Enter Control Characters in any of the following forms:

 <control>J

 0xA (hexadecimal)

Accept Mode

In Accept Mode, the EDS-MD4/8/16 listens (waits) for incoming connections from the network. A

remove node on the network initiates the connection.

The configurable local port is the port the remote device connects to for this connection. There is

no remote port or address. Supported serial lines and associated local port numbers progress

sequentially in matching value. For instance, the default local port is 10001 for serial line 1 and the

default local port for serial line 2 is 10002, and so on for the number of serial lines supported.

Serial data can still be received while waiting for a network connection, keeping in mind serial data

buffer limitations.

Connect Mode

In Connect Mode, theEDS-MD4/8/16 continues to attempt an outgoing connection on the network,

until established. If the connection attempt fails or the connection drops, then it retries after a

timeout. The remote node on the network must listen for the Connect Mode’s connection.

For Connect Mode to function, it must be enabled, have a remote station (node) configured, and a

remote port configured (TCP or UDP). When established, Connect Mode is always on. Enter the

remote station as an IP address or DNS name. TheEDS-MD4/8/16 will not make a connection

unless it can resolve the address.

For Connect Mode using UDP, theEDS-MD4/8/16 accepts packets from any device on the

network. It will send packets to the last device that sent it packets.

Note: The Port in Connect Mode is not the same port configured in Accept Mode.

The TCP keepalive time is the time in which probes are periodically sent to the other end of the

connection. This ensures the other side is still connected.

10: Security Settings

The EDS-MD4, EDS-MD8 and EDS-MD16 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 device 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-MD 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-MD 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-MD SSH server.

SSH Server Host Keys

The SSH Server Host Keys are used by all applications that play the role of an SSH Server.

Specifically Tunneling in Accept Mode. These keys can be created elsewhere and uploaded to the

device or automatically generated on the device.

If uploading existing keys, take care to ensure the Private Key will not be compromised in transit.

This implies the data is uploaded over some kind of secure private network.

Note: Some SSH Clients require RSA Host Keys to be at least 1024 bits in size.

SSH Client Known Hosts

The SSH Client Known Hosts are used by all applications that play the role of an SSH Client.

Specifically Tunneling in Connect Mode. Configuring these public keys are optional but if they exist

another layer of security is offered which helps prevent Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks.

Table 10-2 SSH Client Known Hosts

user. In WebManager, you can also Browse to the public RSA key to be uploaded. If

authentication is successful with the key, no password is required.

Enter the path and name of the existing public DSA key you want to use with this

user. In WebManager, you can also Browse to the public DSA key to be uploaded.If

authentication is successful with the key, no password is required.

Note: These settings are not required for communication. They protect against Man-In-

The-Middle (MITM) attacks.

SSH Server Authorized Users

The SSH Server Authorized Users are used by all applications that play the role of an SSH Server

and specifically Tunneling in Accept Mode. Every user account must have a Password.

The user's Public Keys are optional and only necessary if public key authentication is wanted.

Using public key authentication will allow a connection to be made without the password being

asked at that time.

Note: When uploading the security keys, ensure the keys are not compromised in

transit.

SSH Client Users

The SSH Client Users are used by all applications that play the role of an SSH Client. Specifically

Tunneling in Connect Mode. To configure the EDS-MD as an SSH client, an SSH client user must

be both configured and also exist on the remote SSH server.

At the very least, a Password or Key Pair must be configured for a user. The keys for public key

authentication can be created elsewhere and uploaded to the device or automatically generated

on the device.

If uploading existing Keys, take care to ensure the Private Key will not be compromised in transit.

This implies the data is uploaded over some kind of secure private network.

The default Remote Command is '<Default login shell>' which tells the SSH Server to execute a

remote shell upon connection. This can be changed to anything the SSH Server on the remote

host can execute.

Note: If you are providing a key by uploading a file, make sure that the key is not

password protected.

Filesystem Settings

Use the file system to list, view, add, remove, and transfer files. The EDS-MD4/8/16 uses an EXT3

flash file system to store files. This is a journalled file system, which means that changes to the file

system are recorded before the actual changes themselves are made. In the event of power loss,

the use of journaling can usually recover from changes that had been started but not completed.

Some file systems may contain a 'lost+found' directory. In the event of power loss in the midst of

file system I/O, file data that cannot be fully recovered will be placed in this directory. It is

recommended to always restart the system from the Web Manager application or the CLI.

15: Branding the EDS-MD4/8/16

This chapter describes how to brand your EDS-MD4, EDS-MD8 or EDS-MD16 by using Web

Manager and Command Line Interface (CLI). It contains the following sections on customization:



Web Manager Customization

Short and Long Name Customization

Web Manager Customization

Customize the Web Manager's appearance by modifying index.html, style.css, and the product

logo. The style (fonts, colors, and spacing) of the Web Manager is controlled with style.css. The

text and graphics are controlled with index.html. The product logo is the image in top-left corner of

the page and defaults to a product name image.

Note: The recommended dimensions of the new graphic are 300px width and 50px

height.

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-MD4, EDS-

MD8 or EDS-MD16 file system.

Web Manager files can be retrieved and overridden with the following procedure:

1. FTP to the EDS-MD4/8/16 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. Save the contents of index.html and style.css by using a web browser and navigating to

http://<EDS-MD>/config/index.html and http://<EDS-MD>/config/style.css.

5. Modify the file as required or create a new one with the same name.

6. To customize the product logo, save the image of your choice as logo.gif.

7. Put the file(s) by using put <filename>.

8. Type quit. The overriding files appear in the file system's http/config directory.

9. Restart any open browser to view the changes.

10. If you wish to go back to the default files in the firmware image, simply delete the overriding

files from the file system.

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.

Scientific Calculator

Another simple way to convert binary to hexadecimal

is to use a scientific calculator, such as the one

available on the Windows operating systems. For

example:

1. On the Windows Start menu, click Programs ->

Accessories -> Calculator.

2. On the View menu, select Scientific. The

scientific calculator appears.

3. Click Bin (Binary), and type the number you want

to convert.
