Lantronix WiPort Device Server Evaluation Kit

WiPort Embedded Device Servers from Lantronix are the most compact, integrated solutions available to add 802.11b wireless networking to any edge device with a serial interface and the WiPort Evaluation Kit is the quickest, easiest way to integrate the WiPort into your applications.

Using Lantronix's highly integrated hardware and software platform, the WiPort can help design engineers add to their bottom line by significantly reducing product development time, risk, and cost.

WiPort Embedded Device Servers offers the highest level of integration available in a device server. Within the compact WiPort package is a DSTni x86 controller, memory, 802.11b transceiver, a 10/100 Ethernet transceiver and dual high-speed serial ports. All of this combines to give you a complete wireless networking solution. The WiPort Embedded Device Server is the first product in a line of embedded wireless device servers, designed with flexibility to support additional 802.11x wireless standards without requiring redesign.

To enable access to a local network or the Internet, the WiPort integrates a fully developed TCP/IP network stack and OS. The WiPort also includes an embedded web server that can be used to remotely configure, monitor, or troubleshoot the attached device. WiPort can serve Web pages to a Web browser when there is a need to gather information or communicate with a networked device. The WiPort becomes a conduit between you and your device over the network or internet.

The Windows™-based configuration software and device installer, simplifies installation and setup. The WiPort can also be configured locally through its serial port, or remotely over a network using Telnet (password protected) or a Web browser. Flash memory provides for maintenance-free, non-volatile storage of Web pages, and allows future system software upgrades.

WiPort Hardware & Software Description

The WiPort functions independently of a PC, providing a complete hardware and software solution for adding wireless connectivity to your edge devices. Within a single compact package, the WiPort device server comes with an 802.11b wireless connection, a 10/100 Ethernet transceiver, a reliable and proven operating system stored in flash memory, an embedded Web server, a full TCP/IP protocol stack and WEP security.

The WiPort software runs on a Lantronix DSTni controller which has 256KB of internal SRAM, and 2KB of boot ROM. The WiPort communicates to the edge device through a 3.3V logic level interface and WiPort also includes 2048Kbytes of flash memory for storing firmware and Web pages.

the WiPort has a larger available memory option that includes 4096Kbytes of flash memory, and an additional 1024Kbytes of SRAM. The WiPort runs on a single 3.3V supply, and has a built-in voltage supervisory circuit.

The WiPort will connect through a coaxial cable “pigtail” to a panel-mounted external antenna, which makes the electro-mechanical integration very simple.

WiPort Protocol Support

The WiPort uses the widely accepted 802.11b protocol to connect to a wireless access point or an ad hoc network. It uses the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to ensure that no data is lost or duplicated and everything sent to the connection arrives correctly at the target.

Other Supported Protocols for the WiPort Device Server

  • ARP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, Telnet, TFTP, AutoIP, DHCP, HTTP, and SNMP for
    network communications.
  • TCP, UDP, and Telnet for connections to the serial port.
  • TFTP for firmware updates.
  • IP for addressing, routing, and data block handling over the network.
  • User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for typical datagram applications in
    which devices interact with other devices without maintaining a
    point-to-point connection.
