2: Description and Specifications
XPort AR User Guide 11
Time/attendance clocks and terminals
Protocol Support
The XPort AR device server contains a full-featured TCP/IP stack. Supported
protocols include:
ARP, IP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, BOOTP, DHCP, Auto IP, Telnet, FTP, TFTP, HTTP,
SSH, SSL, SNMP, and SMTP for network communications and management.
TCP, UDP, TCP/AES, UDP/AES, Telnet, and SSH for tunneling to the serial port.
TFTP, FTP, and HTTP for firmware upgrades and uploading files.
Evolution OS™
XPort AR incorporates Lantronix’s Evolution OS™. Key features of the Evolution
OS™ include:
Built-in Web server for configuration and troubleshooting from Web-based
browsers
CLI configurability
SNMP management
XML data transport and configurability
Rich Site Summary (RSS) information feeds
Enterprise-grade security with SSL and SSH
Comprehensive troubleshooting tools
Additional Features
Modem Emulation
In modem emulation mode, the XPort AR 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.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The XPort AR supports PoE (also known as the IEEE standard 802.3af).
Conventionally, network devices require a connection to the network and a power
connection. PoE provides power to network devices over an Ethernet connection if
the required hardware is available. The XPort AR passes PoE through the RJ45 to a
connector on the bottom. To enable PoE, take the connections and design a PoE
circuit and regulator to provide power for the device connected to the XPort AR. The
XPort AR passes power not only through unused pairs, but through communications
pairs as well.

2: Description and Specifications
XPort AR User Guide 12
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.
SSH and SSL can:
Verify the data received came from the proper source

2: Description and Specifications
XPort AR User Guide 13
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
connection
In addition to keeping data safe and accessible, the XPort AR has robust defenses to
hostile Internet attacks such as denial of service (DoS), which can be used to take
down the network. Moreover, the XPort AR can not be used to bring down other
devices on the network.
The XPort AR can be used with Lantronix’s 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.
Troubleshooting Capabilities
The XPort AR 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 XPort AR, including CPU
utilization and total stack space available.
Configuration Methods
After installation, the XPort AR requires configuration. For the unit to operate
correctly on a network, it must have a unique IP address on the network. There are
three basic methods for logging into the XPort AR and assigning IP addresses and
other configurable settings:
DeviceInstaller: Configure the IP address and view network settings on the XPort
AR using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network. (See
3:Using DeviceInstaller.)
Web Manager: Through a web browser, configure the XPort AR’s settings using the
Lantronix Web Manager. (See 4:Configuration Using Web Manager.)
Command Mode: There are two methods to accessing Command Mode: making a
Telnet connection or connecting a terminal (or a PC running a terminal emulation
program) to the unit’s serial port. (See the XPort AR Command Reference Guide for
Command Mode input and available commands.)

2: Description and Specifications
XPort AR User Guide 14
