2: Introduction MatchPort is an embedded device server that provides a network-enabling solution. This User Guide covers two MatchPort devices: MatchPort b/g, which is a wireless version based on the IEEE 802.11b/g wireless standard, and MatchPort NR, which is a wired (Ethernet) version. MatchPort allows Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to add network connectivity (wireless or wired) to their products by incorporating it onto a circuit board. The MatchPort functions independently of a PC, providing a fully integrated solution that combines a processor, memory, Ethernet connection, and 921 Kbps (maximum) baud rate serial ports into a single compact module. It includes an operating system, an embedded Web server, and a full TCP/IP protocol stack. In addition, the MatchPort sends email alerts and supports numerous other network communication protocols, including ARP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, Telnet, AutoIP, DHCP, HTTP, SNMP, and SMTP. The MatchPort b/g unit provides an 802.11b/g transceiver as well. For OEMs who wish to customize the user interface by employing common and familiar tools, the MatchPort serves applets to a Web browser, resulting in interactive Web pages. This customization of HTML Web pages and configuration screens tailors the MatchPort to fit unique requirements. MatchPort b/g Specific With the MatchPort b/g, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), Wireless Protected Access (WPA), and 802.11i/WPA2-Personal are available to guarantee the security of the wireless communication. WEP uses an RC4 encryption algorithm with a configured 64-bit or 104-bit key to scramble the data. WPA uses TKIP, which expands upon WEP by changing the key automatically every session, detecting intrusion and using improved authentication. Lantronix's exclusive SmartRoam technology takes a proactive approach to transferring connectivity from one Access Point (AP) to another AP belonging to the same ESS (having the same SSID or Network Name). SmartRoam continuously tracks the signal strength of APs within range to smoothly and automatically transition to an AP with a stronger signal. Two models of the MatchPort b/g are available: one with AES encryption and one without. MatchPort User Guide 12

MatchPort is an embedded device server that provides a network-enabling solution.
This User Guide covers two MatchPort devices: MatchPort b/g, which is a wireless
version based on the IEEE 802.11b/g wireless standard, and MatchPort NR, which is
a wired (Ethernet) version. MatchPort allows Original Equipment Manufacturers
(OEMs) to add network connectivity (wireless or wired) to their products by

The MatchPort functions independently of a PC, providing a fully integrated solution

64-bit or 104-bit key to scramble the data. WPA uses TKIP, which expands upon
