XPort Pro Command Reference 8
2: Overview
Evolution OS™ is the Lantronix cutting-edge operating system that supports three convenient
configuration methods: Web Manager, Command Line Interface (CLI), and Extensible Markup
Language (XML). For more information about the Web Manager, see the XPort Pro User Guide at
the Lantronix website.
XML Architecture and Device Control
XML is a fundamental building block for the future growth of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) networks.
Evolution supports XML configuration records that make configuring the device server easy for
users and administrators. XML configuration records are easy to edit with a a standard text editor
or an XML editor.
For a brief overview of XML, see Chapter 4: Configuration Using XML . It provides rules on basic
XML syntax, a guide to the specific XML tags used, and a guide to using XML configuration
records.
Command Line Interface
Making the edge-to-enterprise vision a reality, Evolution OS™ uses industry-standard tools for
configuration, communication, and control. For example, the Evolution OS™ uses a command line
interface (CLI) whose syntax is very similar to that used by data center equipment such as routers
and hubs.
For details of the CLI, see Chapter 5: Commands and Levels. It provides an index of the CLI
Command Hierarchy with links to the corresponding command details. The CLI provides
commands for configuring, monitoring, and controlling the device server.
