XPort® Pro Lx6 Embedded Device Server Command Reference 8
2: Overview
XPort Pro Lx6 embedded device server 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 Lx6 Embedded Device Server 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.
XPort Pro Lx6 embedded device server supports XML configuration records that make configuring
the device server easy for users and administrators. XML configuration records are easy to edit
with 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, the XPort Pro Lx6 embedded device server uses
industry-standard tools for configuration, communication, and control. For example, the XPort Pro
Lx6 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.
