2: Introduction Built upon Internet-based standards, the EDS1100/2100 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 EDS1100/2100 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 EDS1100/2100 can act as a ManageLinx DSC and provide direct access to your equipment behind a firewall. SNMP Management The EDS1100/2100 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 EDS1100/2100. XML-Based Architecture and Device Control XML is a fundamental building block for the future growth of M2M networks. The EDS1100/2100 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 EDS1100/2100 supports Really Simple Syndication (RSS) for streaming and managing online 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 EDS1100/2100 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. 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 EDS1100/2100 User Guide 17
