XPort® Embedded Device Server Data Sheet
General Description
The Lantronix® XPort® embedded device server is
the most compact, integrated solution available to
web-enable any device with a serial interface. By
simply adding an XPort unit to a product design,
device manufacturers cut their design cycle by as
much as 80% and are able to offer Ethernet
connectivity in record time. x
The XPort module offers the highest level of
integration available in a device server. Within a
compact RJ45 package is a DSTni® EX 186
controller, memory, 10/100 Ethernet transceiver,
high-speed serial port, status/diagnostic LEDs, and
3 programmable I/O pins. In the space that is
normally consumed by a connector, the XPort unit
provides a complete networking interface.
To enab le acces s to a local net work or th e Intern et,
the XPort module integrates a fully developed
TCP/IP net work stack and OS. The XPort unit also
includes an em bedd ed we b s erver used to r em otel y
configure, monitor, or troubleshoot the attached
device.
Where there’s a need for custom user interfaces
and a desire to use common and familiar tools, the
XPort module can serve web pages to a web
browser. The XPort unit becomes a conduit
between you and your device over the network or
Internet.
The Lantronix DeviceInstaller™ utility is a W indows
based configuration tool that simplifies installation
and setup. The XPort module can also be set up
locally through its serial port, or remotely over a
network using Telnet or a web browser. Flash
memory provides for maintenance-free nonvolatile
storage of web pages, and allows future system
software upgrades.
Using our highly integrated hardware and software
platform, you will add profit to your bottom line by
significantly reducing product development time,
risk, and cost.

Hardware & S oftware Description
The XPort unit is a complete solution (hardware and
software) for web-enabling your edge devices. Packed
into an RJ45 connector smaller than your thumb, this
powerful device server comes with a 10BASE-
T/100BASE-TX Ethernet connection, a reliable and
proven operating system stored in flash memory, an
embedded web server, a full TCP/IP protocol stack,
and standards-based (AES) encryption.
The XPort software runs on a DST ni EX controller
which has 256 KB of SRAM, 16 KB of boot ROM, and
a MAC with integrated 10/100BASE-TX PHY. The
XPort module communicates to the edge device
through a 3.3V serial interface and three general-
purpose progr am mable I/O pins. 512 KB of flas h
memory is included for storing firmware and web
pages. The XPort runs on 3.3V, and has a built-in
voltage supervisory circuit that will trigger a reset if the
supply voltage drops to unreliable levels (2.7V). A
built-in 1.8V regulator drives the processing core of
the EX controller.
An RJ45 Ethernet cable connects directly into an
XPort unit. Ethernet magnetics, status LEDs, and
shielding are built in. The XPort module was designed
to meet class B emissions levels, which makes the
electromechanical integration very simple.
PCB Inte rf ac e
The 8-pin PCB interface consists of 3.3V CMOS
Serial In/Out, 3 Flow Control/Handshake/PIO pins,
reset input, +3.3V power, and signal ground. The
serial pins and CP pins are 5V tolerant. RESET and
Power are 3.3V tolerant.

Protocol Support
The XPort module uses Internet Protocol (IP) for
network communications and Transmission Control
Protocol (TCP) to assure that no data is lost or
duplicat ed, and that ever yt hin g sent arr ives
correctly at the target.
Other suppor ted pr otoco ls ar e listed be lo w:
•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 mai nt a inin g a point-to-point
connection.
* For a complete discussion of protocol support, see
the XPort user manual for the XPort embedded
device server.
LEDs
The device contains two bi-color LEDs built into the
front of the XPort connector. (See dimension
