Applications
The PremierWave XN device server connects serial devices such as those listed below to
Ethernet networks using the IP protocol family.
Patient Monitoring Devices
Glucose Analyzers
Infusion Pumps
Protocol Support
The PremierWave XN device server contains a full-featured IP stack. Supported protocols include:
ARP, UDP, TCP, ICMP,DHCP, Auto IP, Telnet, DNS, FTP, TFTP, SSH, SSL and Syslog for
network communications and management.

2: Introduction
PremierWave XN User Guide 15
TCP, UDP, SSH, SSL and telnet tunneling to the serial port.
TFTP for uploading/downloading files.
FTP and HTTP for firmware upgrades and uploading/downloading files.
Troubleshooting Capabilities
The PremierWave XN offers a comprehensive diagnostic toolset that lets you troubleshoot
problems quickly and easily. Available from the CLI or Web Manager, the diagnostic tools let you:
View memory and IP socket information.
Perform ping and traceroute operations.
Conduct forward or reverse DNS lookup operations.
View all processes currently running on the PremierWave XN, including CPU utilization.
View system log messages.
Configuration Methods
After installation, the PremierWave XN 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 PremierWave XN and assigning IP addresses and other configurable settings:
Web Manager: View and configure all settings easily through a web browser using the
Lantronix Web Manager. (See “Configuration Using Web Manager” on page 27.)
DeviceInstaller: Configure the IP address and related settings and view current settings on
the PremierWave XN using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network.
You will need the latest version of DeviceInstaller. (See “Using DeviceInstaller” on page 25.)
Command Mode: There are two methods for accessing Command Mode (CLI): making a
Telnet or SSH connection, or connecting a terminal (or a PC running a terminal emulation
program) to the unit’s serial port. (See the PremierWave XN Command Reference Guide for
instructions and available commands.)
XML: The PremierWave XN 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 PremierWave XN Command Reference Guide for
instructions and commands.)
Addresses and Port Numbers
Hardware Address
The hardware address is also referred to as the Ethernet address, physical address, or MAC
address. Sample hardware address:
00-80-A3-14-1B-18
00:80:A3:14:1B:18

2: Introduction
PremierWave XN User Guide 16
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
TCP port number 23.
The following is a list of the default server port numbers running on the :
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 21: FTP
UDP Port 30718: LDP (Lantronix Discovery Protocol) port
TCP/UDP Port 10001: Tunnel 1 (see note below)
Note: Additional TCP/UDP ports and tunnels will be available, depending on the product
type. The default numbering of each additional TCP/UDP port and corresponding tunnel
will increase sequentially (i.e., TCP/UDP Port 1000X: Tunnel X).
Product Information Label
The product information label on the unit contains the
following information about the specific unit:
Bar code
Product Revision
Part Number
Serial Number (MAC Address)
Manufacturing Date Code
Figure 2-1 PremierWave XN Product Label
Note: The hardware address on the
label is also the product serial number.
The hardware address on the label is the
address for the Ethernet (eth0) interface.
The WLAN (wlan0) interface uses the
Ethernet address "+1". For example, if
the product label hardware address is 00-
80-A3-14-1B-18, then the Ethernet
address is 00-80-A3-14-1B-18 and the
WLAN address is 00-80-A3-14-1B-19.
