EDS-MD Command Reference 8
2: Overview
EDS-MD4/8/16 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 EDS-MD User Guide on the Lantronix website.
XML Architecture and Device Control
XML is a fundamental building block for the future growth of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) networks.
EDS-MD4/8/16 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, EDS-MD4/8/16 uses industry-standard tools for
configuration, communication, and control. For example, the EDS-MD 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.
