2: Introduction Additional Features Modem Emulation In modem emulation mode, the EDS3000 devices 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 EDS3000 devices enable 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 EDS3000 devices use industry-standard tools for configuration, communication, and control. For example, the EDS3000 devices 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 EDS3000 devices support 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 EDS3000 devices. XML-Based Architecture and Device Control XML is a fundamental building block for the future growth of M2M networks. The EDS3000 devices support 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 EDS3000 devices support 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 The EDS3000 devices have 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. With built-in SSH and SSL, secure communications can be established between the serial ports and the remote end device or application. 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.
