1: About This Guide This guide provides the information needed to configure, use, and update the EDS™ Device Server. It is intended for software developers and system integrators who are installing the EDS in their designs. Chapter and Appendix Summaries A summary of each chapter is provided below. Chapter Description Chapter 2: Introduction Main features of the product and the protocols it supports. Includes technical specifications.
1: About This Guide Chapter 18: Updating Firmware Instructions for obtaining the latest firmware and updating the device. Appendix A - Technical Support Instructions for contacting Lantronix Technical Support. Appendix B - Binary to Hexadecimal Conversions Instructions for converting binary values to hexadecimals. Appendix C - Compliance Lantronix compliance information.
2: Introduction This chapter introduces the Lantronix EDS family of device servers. It provides an overview of the products, lists their key features, and describes the applications for which they are suited. EDS is a unique, hybrid Ethernet terminal and multi-port device server product designed to remotely access and manage virtually all of your IT/networking equipment and servers.
2: Introduction EDS8PS and EDS16PS Overview The EDS8PS (8 serial ports) and EDS16PS (16 serial ports) are compact desktop device servers that give you the ability to network-enable asynchronous RS-232 serial devices. They provide fully transparent RS-232 point-to-point connections without requiring modifications to existing software or hardware in your application.
2: Introduction EDS4100 Overview The EDS4100 is a compact device server that allows you to networkenable asynchronous RS-232 and RS-422/485 serial devices. It can deliver fully transparent RS-232/ 422 point-to-point connections and RS-485 multi-drop connections without requiring modifications to existing software or hardware in your application. Figure 2-2 EDS4100 4 Port Device Server Ports 1 through 4 support RS-232 devices. Ports 1 and 3 also support RS-422/485.
2: Introduction EDS8PR, EDS16PR, and EDS32PR Overview The EDS8PR (8 serial ports), EDS16PR (16 serial ports), and EDS32PR (32 serial ports) are compact easy-to-use, rack-mountable device servers that give you the ability to network-enable asynchronous RS-232 serial devices. They provide fully transparent RS-232 point-to-point connections without requiring modifications to existing software or hardware components in your application.
2: Introduction Applications The EDS device server connects serial devices such as those listed below to Ethernet networks using the IP protocol family.
2: Introduction Additional Features Modem Emulation In modem emulation mode, the EDS 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.
2: Introduction 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.
2: Introduction Web Manager: Through a web browser, configure the EDS settings using the Lantronix Web Manager. See Configuration Using Web Manager (on page 43). Command Mode: There are two methods for accessing Command Mode (CLI): making a Telnet connection or connecting a terminal (or a PC running a terminal emulation program) to the unit’s serial port. (See the EDS Command Reference Guide for instructions and available commands.
2: Introduction Note: Multi-port products include one or more additional supported ports and tunnels with default sequential numbering. For instance: TCP/UDP Port 10002: Tunnel 2, TCP/ UDP Port 10003: Tunnel 3, etc.

12: Security Settings The EDS device supports Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSH is a network protocol for securely accessing a remote device. SSH provides a secure, encrypted communication channel between two hosts over a network. It provides authentication and message integrity services. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol that manages data transmission security over the Internet. It uses digital certificates for authentication and cryptography against eavesdropping and tampering.
12: Security Settings SSH Server Host Keys SSH Host Keys can be obtained in a few different ways: Uploading keys via PUTTY or other tools which generate RFC4716 format keys. Creating keys through the EDS. The steps for creating or uploading keys is described below. To upload SSH server host keys generated from PuTTY: 1. Create the keys with puttygen.exe. The keys are in PuTTY format. 2. Use puttygen.exe again to convert the private key to Open SSH format as follows: a.

12: Security Settings SSL Settings Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol for managing the security of data transmission over the Internet. It provides encryption, authentication, and message integrity services. SSL is widely used for secure communication to a web server. Certificate/Private key combinations can be obtained from an external Certificate Authority (CA) and downloaded into the unit. Self-signed certificates with associated private key can be generated by the device server itself.
12: Security Settings SSL Certificates The goal of a certificate is to authenticate its sender. It is analogous to a paper document that contains personal identification information and is signed by an authority, for example a notary or government agency. The principles of Security Certificate required that in order to sign other certificates, the authority uses a private key.
12: Security Settings SSL Utilities Several utilities exist to convert between the formats. OpenSSL Open source set of SSL related command line utilities. It can act as server or client. It can generate or sign certificate requests. It can convert all kinds of formats. Executables are available for Linux and Windows. To generate a self-signed RSA certificate/key combo use the following commands in the order shown: openssl req –x509 –nodes –days 365 –newkey rsa:1024 –keyout mp_key.pem –out mp_cert.
