2: Introduction
EDS4100 Overview
The EDS4100 is a compact device Figure 2-1 EDS4100 4 Port Device Server
server that allows you to network-
enable 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.
 Ports 1 through 4 support
RS-232 devices.
 Ports 1 and 3 also support
RS-422/485.
Note: RS-485 circuits support 32 full-load devices or 128 quarter-load devices. Each
RS-485 port, however, counts as one device, leaving up to 31 full-load or 127 quarter-load
devices that can be connected to the RS-485 circuit.
The EDS4100 device server supports the Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) standard. With PoE, power
is supplied to the EDS over the Ethernet cable, by either an Ethernet switch or a midspan device.
Being able to draw power through the Ethernet cable eliminates power supply and cord clutter. It
also allows the EDS to be located in areas where power is not typically available.
Key Features
The key features of the EDS4100 include:
 Dual-purpose Ethernet terminal server and device server design
 Four serial ports with hardware handshaking signals
 RS-232 and RS-422/485
 One RJ45 Ethernet port
 IEEE 802.3af standard for Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
 8 MB Flash memory
 32 MB Random Access Memory (RAM)
 Lantronix Evolution OS software
 AES, SSH, or SSL secure data encryption
 Three configuration methods (Web, command line, and XML)
 Print server functionality (LPR/LPD)
See Chapter 3: Installation of EDS4100 for installation instructions.

2: Introduction
Evolution OS™ Application

The EDS device server incorporates the Lantronix Evolution operating system (OS). Key features
of the Evolution OS include:
 Built-in Web server for configuration and troubleshooting from Web-based browsers
 CLI configurability
 SNMP management
 XML data transport and configurability
 Really Simple Syndication (RSS) information feeds
 Enterprise-grade security with SSL and SSH
 Comprehensive troubleshooting tools
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.
Web-Based Configuration and Troubleshooting

Built upon Internet-based standards, the EDS enables you to configure, manage, and troubleshoot
through a browser-based interface accessible anytime from anywhere. All configuration and
troubleshooting options are launched from a web interface. You can access all functions via a Web
browser, for remote access. As a result, you decrease downtime (using the troubleshooting tools)
and implement configuration changes (using the configuration tools).
Command-Line Interface (CLI)

Making the edge-to-enterprise vision a reality, the EDS uses industry-standard tools for
configuration, communication, and control. For example, the Evolution OS software uses a
Command Line Interface (CLI) whose syntax is very similar to that used by data center equipment
such as routers and hubs.
SNMP Management
The EDS supports full SNMP management, making it ideal for applications where device
management and monitoring are critical. These features allow networks with SNMP capabilities to
correctly diagnose and monitor EDS devices.
XML-Based Architecture and Device Control

XML is a fundamental building block for the future growth of M2M networks. The EDS supports
XML-based configuration setup records that make device configuration transparent to users and
administrators. The XML is easily editable with a standard text or XML editor.

2: Introduction
Really Simple Syndication (RSS)

The EDS supports Really Simple Syndication (RSS) for streaming and managing on-line content.
RSS feeds all the configuration changes that occur on the device. An RSS aggregator then reads
(polls) the feed. More powerful than simple email alerts, RSS uses XML as an underlying Web
page transport and adds intelligence to the networked device, while not taxing already overloaded
email systems.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Evolution OS software provides the EDS the highest level of networking security possible. This
‘data center grade’ protection ensures that each device on the M2M network carries the same
level of security as traditional IT networking equipment in the corporate data center.
With built-in SSH and SSL, secure communications can be established between the serial ports
and the remote end device or application. 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.
SSH and SSL are able to do the following:

 Verify the data received came from the proper source
 Validate that the data transferred from the source over the network has not changed when it
arrives at its destination (shared secret and hashing)
 Encrypt data to protect it from prying eyes and nefarious individuals
 Provide the ability to run popular M2M protocols over a secure SSH or SSL connection
In addition to keeping data safe and accessible, the EDS has robust defenses to hostile Internet
attacks such as denial of service (DoS), which can be used to take down the network. Moreover,
the EDS cannot be used to bring down other devices on the network.
You can use the EDS with the Lantronix Secure Com Port Redirector (SCPR) to encrypt COM
port-based communications between PCs and virtually any electronic device. SCPR is a Windows
application that creates a secure communications path over a network between the computer and
serial-based devices that are traditionally controlled via a COM port. With SCPR installed at each
computer, computers that were formerly “hard-wired” by serial cabling for security purposes or to
accommodate applications that only understood serial data can instead communicate over an
Ethernet network or the Internet.
Terminal Server/Device Management

Remote offices can have routers, PBXs, servers and other networking equipment that require
remote management from the corporate facility. The EDS easily attaches to the serial ports on a
server, Private Branch Exchange (PBX), or other networking equipment to deliver central, remote
monitoring and management capability.

2: Introduction
Troubleshooting Capabilities
The EDS offers a comprehensive diagnostic toolset that lets you troubleshoot problems quickly
and easily. Available from the Web Manager, CLI, and XML interfaces, the diagnostic tools let you:
 View critical hardware, memory, MIB-II, buffer pool, and IP socket information.
 Perform ping and traceroute operations.
 Conduct forward or backup DNS lookup operations.
 View all processes currently running on the EDS, including CPU utilization and total stack
space available.
Configuration Methods
After installation, the EDS requires configuration. For the unit to operate correctly on a network, it
must have a unique IP address on the network. There are four basic methods for logging into the
EDS and assigning IP addresses and other configurable settings:
DeviceInstaller: Configure the IP address and related settings and view current settings on the
using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network.
See Chapter 5: Using DeviceInstaller.
Web Manager: Through a web browser, configure the EDS settings using the Lantronix Web
Manager. See Chapter 6: Configuration Using Web Manager.
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 appropriate EDS Device Server Command Reference for instructions and
available commands. Lantronix documentation is available at
www.lantronix.com/support/documentation.)
XML: The EDS supports XML-based configuration and setup records that make device
configuration transparent to users and administrators. XML is easily editable with a standard text
or XML editor. (See the appropriate EDS Device Server Command Reference for instructions and
available commands. Lantronix documentation is available at
www.lantronix.com/support/documentation.)
Addresses and Port Numbers
Hardware Address
The hardware address is also referred to as the Ethernet address or MAC address. The first three
bytes of the Ethernet address are fixed and read as either 00-20-4A or 08-04-13, identifying the
unit as a Lantronix product. The fourth, fifth, and sixth bytes are unique numbers assigned to each
unit.
Figure 2-5 Sample Hardware Address

00-20-4A-14-01-18 or 00:20:4A:14:01:18
08-04-13-14-01-18 or 08:04:13:14:01:18

2: Introduction
IP Address
Every device connected to an IP network must have a unique IP address. This address references
the specific unit.
Port Numbers
Every TCP connection and every UDP datagram is defined by a destination and source IP
address, and a destination and source port number. For example, a Telnet server commonly uses
port number 23.
The following is a list of the default server port numbers running on the EDS device server.
 TCP Port 22: SSH Server (Command Mode configuration)
 TCP Port 23: Telnet Server (Command Mode configuration)
 TCP Port 80: HTTP (Web Manager configuration)
 TCP Port 443: HTTPS (Web Manager configuration)
 UDP Port 161: SNMP
 TCP Port 21: FTP
 UDP Port 69: TFTP
 UDP Port 514: Syslog
 TCP Port 515: LPD
 UDP Port 30718: LDP (Lantronix Discovery Protocol) port
 TCP/UDP Port 10001: Tunnel 1
 TCP/UDP Port 10002: Tunnel 2
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.

DHCP Client Select On or Off. At boot up, the device will attempt to lease an IP address from a
DHCP server and maintain the lease at regular intervals.
Note: Overrides BOOTP, the configured IP address, network mask, gateway,
hostname, and domain.
IP Address Enter the device static IP address.
You may enter it alone, in CIDR format, or with an explicit mask.
The IP address consists of four octets separated by a period and is used if BOOTP
and DHCP are both set to Off. Changing this value requires you to reboot the
device.
Note: When DHCP is enabled, the device tries to obtain an IP address from DHCP.
If it cannot, the device uses an AutoIP address in the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx.
Default Gateway Enter the IP address of the router for this network. Or, clear the field (appears as
<None>). This address is only used for static IP address configuration.
Hostname Enter the device hostname. It must begin with a letter, continue with a sequence of
letters, numbers, and/or hyphens, and end with a letter or number.
Domain Enter the device domain name.
DHCP Client ID Enter the ID if the DHCP server uses a DHCP ID. The DHCP server’s lease table
shows IP addresses and MAC addresses for devices. The lease table shows the
Client ID, in hexadecimal notation, instead of the device MAC address.
Note: "Binary" entry mode allows a mixed mode of text and special characters in
brackets For example, "abcd<ctrl>A" would be entered "abcd[0x01]".
Primary DNS IP address of the primary name server. This entry is required if you choose to
configure DNS (Domain Name Server) servers.
Secondary DNS IP address of the secondary name server.
MTU When DHCP is enabled, the MTU size is (usually) provided with the IP address.
When not provided by the DHCP server, or using a static configuration, this value is
used. The MTU size can be from 576 to 1500 bytes.

Tunnel Settings
Note: The number of lines and tunnels available for viewing and configuration differ
between Lantronix products. For example, XPort Pro and EDS1100 device servers
support only one line while other device networking products (such as EDS2100,
EDS4100, XPort AR, EDS8/16PS and EDS8/16/32PR devices) provide additional lines
and tunnels. The following sections describe the steps to view and configure specific
tunnel settings. These instructions also apply to additional tunnel instances of the device.
Tunneling allows serial devices to communicate over a network, without “being aware” of the
devices which establish the network connection between them.Tunneling parameters are
configured using the Web Manager or Command Mode Tunnel Menu. See Configuration Using
Web Manager (on page 38) or the appropriate EDS Device Server Command Reference for the
full list of commands.
The EDS supports two tunneling connections simultaneously per serial port. One of these
connections is Connect Mode; the other connection is Accept Mode. The connections on one
serial port are separate from those on another serial port.
 Connect Mode: the EDS actively makes a connection. The receiving node on the network
must listen for the Connect Mode’s connection. Connect Mode is disabled by default.
 Accept Mode: the EDS device listens for a connection. A node on the network initiates the
connection. Accept Mode is enabled by default.
 Disconnect Mode: this mode defines how an open connection stops the forwarding of data.
The specific parameters to stop the connection are configurable. Once the EDS Disconnect
Mode observes the defined event occur, it will disconnect both Accept Mode and Connect
Mode connections on that port.
When any character comes in through the serial port, it gets copied to both the Connect Mode
connection and the Accept Mode connection (if both are active).
View statistics and configure a specific tunnel by using the Tunnel web page. When you select
Tunnel from the Main Menu, tunnels available for your product will display. Select a specific tunnel
to configure.

The following sub-menus listed may be used to configure a specific tunnel:

 Tunnel – Statistics

5. Click Submit.
Tunnel – Packing Mode

Packing Mode takes data from the serial port, packs it together, and sends it over the network.
Packing can be configured based on threshold (size in bytes, timeout (milliseconds), or a single
character.
Size is set by modifying the threshold field. When the number of bytes reaches the threshold, a
packet is sent immediately.
The timeout field is used to force a packet to be sent after a maximum time. The packet is sent
even if the threshold value is not reached.
When Send Character is configured, a single printable character or control character read on the
Serial Line forces the packet to be sent immediately. There is an optional trailing character
parameter which can be specified. It can be a single printable character or a control character.

To configure the Packing Mode for a specific tunnel:

3. Select Packing Mode. The Packing Mode page for the specific tunnel appears.

5. Click Submit.

Tunnel – Accept Mode

Controls how a specific tunnel number behaves when a connection attempt originates from the
network. In Accept Mode, the EDS waits for a connection from the network. The configurable local
port is the port the remote device connects to for this connection. There is no remote port or
address. The default local port is 10001 for serial port 1 and increases sequentially for each
additional serial port, if supported.
Accept Mode supports the following protocols:

 SSH
The EDS device is the server in Accept Mode). When using this protocol, the SSH server
host keys and at least one SSH authorized user must be configured.
 SSL
 TCP
 TCP AES encryption over TCP
 Telnet
The EDS supports IAC codes. It drops the IAC codes when Telnetting and does not
forward them to the serial port.
Accept Mode has the following states:

 Disable
Never accepts a connection.
 Always
Always listening for a connection.
 Any Character
(If it receives any character from the serial port).
 Start Character
(If it receives a specific ([configurable]) character from the serial port ([same start
character as Connect Mode’s start character]).
 Modem Control Asserted
(When the modem control pin is asserted on the serial line corresponding to the tunnel.)
 Modem Emulation
To configure the Accept Mode of a specific tunnel:

3. Select Accept Mode. The Accept Mode page for the specific tunnel appears.

5. Click Submit.
Tunnel – Connect Mode

Connect Mode defines how the device makes an outgoing connection through a specific tunnel.
When enabled, Connect Mode is always on and attempting a network connection if the connection
mode condition warrants it. For Connect Mode to function, it must:
 Be enabled
 Have a remote host configured
 Have a remote port configured
Enter the remote host address as an IP address or DNS name. The EDS device will make a
connection only if it can resolve the address. For DNS names, the EDS will re-evaluate the
address after being established for 4 hours. If re-evaluation results in a different address, it will
close the connection.
Connect Mode supports the following protocols:

 TCP
 AES encryption over TCP and UDP
When setting AES encryption, both the encrypt key and the decrypt key must be specified.
The encrypt key is used for data sent out. The decrypt key is used for receiving data. Both of
the keys may be set to the same value.
 SSH
To configure SSH, the SSH client username must be configured. In Connect Mode, the EDS
unit is the SSH client. Ensure the EDS SSH client username is configured on the remote SSH
server before using it with the EDS.
 SSL

 UDP
Is only available in Connect Mode because it is a connectionless protocol. For Connect Mode
using UDP, the EDS unit accepts packets from any device on the network. It will send packets
to the last device that sent it packets.
 Telnet

Reconnect Timer Enter the reconnect time in milliseconds. The device attempts to reconnect after
this amount of time after failing a connection or exiting an existing connection.
This behavior depends upon the Disconnect Mode.
Note:
 When you configure Tunnel - Connect Mode, you can specify a number of
milliseconds to attempt to reconnect after a dropped connection has
occurred. The default is 1500 milliseconds.
 The Reconnect Timer only applies if a Disconnect Mode is configured.
With a Disconnect Mode set, the device server maintains a connection
until the disconnect mode condition is met (at which time the device server
closes the connection). If the tunnel is dropped due to conditions beyond
the device server, the device server attempts to re-establish a failed
connection when the specified reconnect interval reaches its limit.
 Any network-side disconnect is considered an error and a reconnect is
attempted without regard to the Connect Mode settings. Simultaneous
Connect Mode connections require some Disconnect Mode
configurations or the connections will never terminate. See Tunnel –
Connect Mode for more information about the parameters.
 If Disconnect Mode is disabled and the network connection is dropped,
then the re-establishment of a tunnel connection is governed by the
configured Connect Mode settings.
Flush Serial Data Select whether to flush the serial line when a connection is made. Choices are:
 Enabled = flush the serial line when a connection is made.
 Disabled = do not flush the serial line. (default)
Block Serial Select Enabled to block (not tunnel) serial data transmitted to the device. This is
a debugging tool that causes serial data sent to the device to be ignored.

6. Repeat these steps to configure additional hosts as necessary. EDS supports configuration of
up to sixteen hosts.

Connecting Multiple Hosts

If more than one host is configured, a Host Mode option appears. Host Mode controls how
multiple hosts will be accessed. For EDS, the Connect Mode supports up to sixteen Hosts. Hosts
may be accessed sequentially or simultaneously:
 Sequential – Sequential host lists establish a prioritized list of tunnels. The host specified as
Host 1 will be attempted first. If that fails, it will proceed to Host 2, 3, etc, in the order they are
specified. When a connection drops, the cycle starts again with Host 1 and proceeds in order.
Establishing the host order is accomplished with host list promotion (see Host List Promotion
on page 66). Sequential is the default Host Mode.
 Simultaneous – A tunnel will connect to all hosts accepting a connection. Connections occur
at the same time to all listed hosts. The device can support a maximum of 64 total aggregate
connections.

Connect Mode connections. When disconnecting, the EDS unit shuts down the specific tunnel
connection gracefully.
The following settings end a specific tunnel connection:
 The EDS receives the stop character.
 The timeout period has elapsed and no activity is going in or out of the EDS device. Both
Accept Mode and Connect Mode must be idle for the time frame.
 The EDS unit observes the modem control inactive setting.
Note: To clear data out of the serial buffers upon a disconnect, enable “Flush Serial Data”.
To configure the Disconnect Mode for a specific tunnel:

3. Select Disconnect Mode. The specific tunnel Disconnect Mode page appears.

5. Click Submit.
Tunnel – Modem Emulation

A tunnel in Connect Mode can be initiated using modem commands incoming from the Serial Line.
This page enables you to configure the modem emulation settings when you select Modem
Emulation as the Tunnel Connect Mode type. The Modem Emulation Command Mode supports
the standard AT command set. For a list of available commands from the serial or Telnet login,
enter AT?. Use ATDT, ATD, and ATDP to establish a connection. All of these commands behave
like a modem. For commands that are valid but not applicable to the EDS, an “OK” message is
sent (but the command is silently ignored).
The EDS unit attempts to make a Command Mode connection as per the IP/DNS/port numbers
defined in Connect Mode. It is possible to override the remote address, as well as the remote port
number.
The following table lists and describes the available commands.
Table 8-21 Modem Emulation Commands and Descriptions
Command Description
+++ Switches to Command Mode if entered from serial port during connection.
AT? Help.
ATDT<Address Info> Establishes the TCP connection to socket (<ipaddress>:<port>).
ATDP<Address Info> See ATDT.
ATD Like ATDT. Dials default Connect Mode remote address and port.
ATD<Address Info> Sets up a TCP connection. A value of 0 begins a command line interface
session.
ATO Switches to data mode if connection still exists. Vice versa to '+++'.
ATEn Switches echo in Command Mode (off - 0, on - 1).
ATH Disconnects the network session.
ATI Shows modem information.

Table 8-21 Modem Emulation Commands and Descriptions (continued)
Command (continued) Description
ATQn Quiet mode (0 - enable results code, 1 - disable results code.)
ATVn Verbose mode (0 - numeric result codes, 1 - text result codes.)
ATXn Command does nothing and returns OK status.
ATUn Accept unknown commands. (n value of 0 = off. n value of 1 = on.)
AT&V Display current and saved settings.
AT&F Reset settings in NVR to factory defaults.
AT&W Save active settings to NVR.
ATZ Restores the current state from the setup settings.
ATS0=n Accept incoming connection.

 N value of 0—Disable
 N value of 1—Connect automatically
 N value of 2+—Connect with ATA command.
ATA Answer incoming connection (if ATS0 is 2 or greater).
A/ Repeat last valid command.
For commands that can take address information (ATD, ATDT, ATDP), the destination address
can be specified by entering the IP Address, or entering the IP Address and port number. For
example, <ipaddress>:<port>. The port number cannot be entered on its own.
For ATDT and ATDP commands less than 255 characters, the EDS replaces the last segment of
the IP address with the configured Connect Mode remote station address. It is possible to use the
last two segments also, if they are under 255 characters. For example, if the address is
100.255.15.5, entering ATDT 16.6 results in 100.255.16.6.
When using ATDT and ATDP, enter 0.0.0.0 to switch to the Command Line Interface (CLI). Once
the CLI is exited by using the CLI exit command, the EDS reverts to modem emulation mode. By
default, the +++ characters are not passed through the connection. Turn on this capability using
the modem echo pluses command.
To configure modem emulation for a specific tunnel:

3. Select Modem Emulation. The Modem Emulation page for the specific tunnel appears.

11: Security Settings
The EDS unit 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. It provides encryption and message integrity services. SSL is widely used for secure
communication to a web server. SSL uses certificates and private keys.
Note: The EDS device server supports SSLv3 and its successors, TLS1.0 and TLS1.1.
An incoming SSLv2 connection attempt is answered with an SSLv3 response. If the
initiator also supports SSLv3, SSLv3 handles the rest of the connection.

SSH Settings
SSH is a network protocol for securely accessing a remote device over an encrypted channel. This
protocol manages the security of internet data transmission between two hosts over a network by
providing encryption, authentication, and message integrity services.
Two instances require configuration: when the EDS unit is the SSH server and when it is an SSH
client. The SSH server is used by the CLI (Command Mode) and for tunneling in Accept Mode.
The SSH client is for tunneling in Connect Mode.
To configure the EDS device server as an SSH server, there are two requirements:
 Defined Host Keys: both private and public keys are required. These keys are used for the
Diffie-Hellman key exchange (used for the underlying encryption protocol).
 Defined Users: these users are permitted to connect to the EDS SSH server.
This page has four links at the top for viewing and changing SSH server host keys, SSH server
authorized keys, SSH client known hosts, and SSH client users.

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 device.
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. Import the private key using "Conversions…Import key."
b. Create a new file using "Conversions…Export OpenSSH key."
3. Use ssh-keygen to convert the public key to OpenSSH format.
ssh-keygen -i -f putty_file > openssh_file
4. Select SSH on the menu bar and SSH Server: Host Keys at the top of the page. The SSH
Server Host Keys page appears.
Figure 11-1 SSH Server: Host Keys (Upload Keys)
5. Enter or modify the following settings in the part of the screen related to uploading keys:

Table 11-2 SSH Server Host Keys Settings - Upload Keys Method
SSH Server: Host Keys Description
Private Key Enter the path and name of the existing private key you want to upload or
use the Choose File button to select the key. Be sure the private key will not
be compromised in transit. This implies the data is uploaded over some kind
of secure private network.
Public Key Enter the path and name of the existing public key you want to upload or use
the Choose File button to select the key.
Key Type Select a key type to use for the new key:
 RSA = use this key with the SSH1 and SSH2 protocols.
 DSA = use this key with the SSH2 protocol.
6. Click Submit.
To upload SSH server host RFC4716 format keys:

1. Use any program that can produce keys in the RFC4716 format.
2. Use ssh-keygen to convert the format to OpenSSH.
ssh-keygen -i -f RFC4716_file > output_file
Note: If the keys do not exist, follow directions under To create new SSH server host
keys (on page 91).
4. Enter or modify the following settings in the part of the screen related to uploading keys:
Table 11-3 SSH Server Host Keys Settings - Upload Keys Method
Private Key Enter the path and name of the existing private key you want to upload or use
the Choose File button to select the key. Be sure the private key will not be
compromised in transit. This implies the data is uploaded over some kind of
secure private network.
Public Key Enter the path and name of the existing public key you want to upload or use
the Choose File button to select the key.
Key Type Select a key type to use for the new key:
5. Click Submit.
Note: SSH keys may be created on another computer and uploaded to the EDS device
server. For example, use the following command using Open SSH to create a 1024-bit
DSA key pair: ssh-keygen –b 1024 –t dsa

To create new SSH server host keys
Note: Generating new keys with large bit size results in longer key generation times.
2. Enter or modify the following settings in the part of the screen related to creating new keys:
Table 11-4 SSH Server Host Keys Settings - Create New Keys Method

Settings
Key Type Select a key type to use:
 RSA = use this key with SSH1 and SSH2 protocols.
Note: RSA is more secure.
Bit Size Select a bit length for the new key:
 512
 768
 1024
Using a larger bit size takes more time to generate the key. Approximate times
are:
 10 seconds for a 512 bit RSA Key
 1 minute for a 1024 bit RSA Key
 30 seconds for a 512 bit DSA Key
 1 minute for a 768 bit DSA Key
 2 minutes for a 1024 bit DSA Key
Note: Some SSH clients require RSA host keys to be at least 1024 bits long.

SSH Server Authorized Users

On this page you can change SSH server settings for Authorized Users. SSH Server Authorized
Users are accounts on the EDS device server that can be used to log into the EDS using SSH. For
instance, these accounts can be used to SSH into the CLI or open an SSH connection to a device
port. Every account must have a password.
The user's public keys are optional and only necessary if public key authentication is required.
Using public key authentication allows a connection to be made without the password being
asked.
Under Current Configuration, User has a Delete User link, and Public RSA Key and Public
DSA Key have View Key and Delete Key links. If you click a Delete link, a message asks whether
you are sure you want to delete this information. Click OK to proceed or Cancel to cancel the
operation.

To configure the SSH server for authorized users:

1. Select SSH on the menu bar and then Server Authorized Users at the top of the page. The
SSH Server: Authorized Users page appears.

SSH Client Users

On this page you can change SSH client settings for users. To configure the EDS device server
as an SSH client, an SSH client user must be both configured and also exist on the remote SSH
server.
SSH client known users are used by all applications that play the role of an SSH client, specifically
tunneling in Connect Mode. At the very least, a password or key pair must be configured for a
user. The keys for public key authentication can be created elsewhere and uploaded to the device
or automatically generated on the device. If uploading existing keys, be sure the private key will
not be compromised in transit. This implies the data is uploaded over some kind of secure private
network.
Note: If you are providing a key by uploading a file, make sure that the key is not
password protected.
To configure the SSH client users:

1. Select SSH on the menu bar and then SSH Client Users at the top of the page. The SSH
Client: Users page appears.

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.
For more information regarding Certificates and how to obtain them, see SSL Certificates and
Private Keys (on page 97).
SSL uses digital certificates for authentication and cryptography against eavesdropping and
tampering. Sometimes only the server is authenticated; sometimes both server and client are
authenticated. The EDS device server can be server and/or client, depending on the application.
Public key encryption systems exchange information and keys and set up the encrypted tunnel.
Efficient symmetric encryption methods encrypt the data going through the tunnel after it is
established. Hashing provides tamper detection.
Applications that can make use of SSL are Tunneling, Secure Web Server, and WLAN interface.
The EDS unit supports SSLv3 and its successors, TLS1.0 and TLS1.1.
Note: An incoming SSLv2 connection attempt is answered with an SSLv3 response. If

the initiator also supports SSLv3, SSLv3 handles the rest of the connection.
SSL Cipher Suites

The SSL standard defines only certain combinations of certificate type, key exchange method,
symmetric encryption, and hash method. Such a combination is called a cipher suite. Supported
cipher suites include the following:
Table 11-11 Supported Cipher Suites
Certificate Key Exchange Encryption Hash
DSA DHE 3DES SHA1
RSA RSA 128 bits AES SHA1
RSA RSA Triple DES SHA1
RSA RSA 128 bits RC4 MD5
RSA RSA 128 bits RC4 SHA1
RSA 1024 bits RSA 56 bits RC4 MD5
RSA 1024 bits RSA 56 bits RC4 SHA1
RSA 1024 bits RSA 40 bits RC4 MD5
Whichever side is acting as server decides which cipher suite to use for a connection. It is usually
the strongest common denominator of the cipher suite lists supported by both sides.
Note: The SHA2 hash algorithm negotiates with the MD5 or SHA1 ciphers to establish a
successful SSL connection.

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 require that in order to sign other certificates, the authority
uses a private key. The published authority certificate contains the matching public key that allows
another to verify the signature but not recreate it.
The authority’s certificate can be signed by itself, resulting in a self-signed or trusted-root
certificate, or by another (higher) authority, resulting in an intermediate authority certificate. You
can build up a chain of intermediate authority certificates, and the last certification will always be a
trusted-root certificate.
An authority that signs other certificates is also called a Certificate Authority (CA). The last in line is
then the root-CA. VeriSign is a famous example of such a root-CA. Its certificate is often built into
web browsers to allow verifying the identity of website servers, which need to have certificates
signed by VeriSign or another public CA. Since obtaining a certificate signed by a CA that is
managed by another company can be expensive, it is possible to have your own CA. Tools exist to
generate self-signed CA certificates or to sign other certificates.
A certificate request is a certificate that has not been signed and only contains the identifying
information. Signing it makes it a certificate. A certificate is also used to sign any message
transmitted to the peer to identify the originator and prevent tampering while transported.
SSL RSA
As mentioned above, the certificates contain a public key. Different key exchange methods require
different public keys and thus different styles of certificate. The EDS device server supports key
exchange methods that require a RSA-style certificate and key exchange methods that require a
RSA-style certificate. If only one of these certificates is stored in the EDS unit, only those key
exchange methods that can work with that style certificate are enabled. RSA is sufficient in most
cases.
The creation of a self-signed SSL certificate supports MD5 hash algorithms with a 1024 bit key
length. Uploading an SSL certificate will support MD5, SHA1 and SHA2 families (e.g., SHA256,
SHA384, and SHA512 hash algorithms with key lengths of 1024 & 2048 bits).
SSL Certificates and Private Keys

You can obtain a certificate by completing a certificate request and sending it to a certificate
authority that will create a certificate/key combo, usually for a fee, or you can generate your own. A
few utilities exist to generate self-signed certificates or sign certificate requests. The EDS device
server also has the ability to generate its own self-signed certificate/key combo.
You can use XML to export the certificate in PEM format, but you cannot export the key. Hence the
internal certificate generator can only be used for certificates that are to identify that particular
EDS unit.
Certificates and private keys can be stored in several file formats. Best known are PKCS12, DER
and PEM. Certificate and key can be in the same file or in separate files. The key can be encrypted
with a password or not. The EDS device server currently only accepts separate PEM files. The key
needs to be unencrypted.

SSL Utilities
Several utilities exist to convert between the formats.
OpenSSL
Open source is a 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.pem
Note: Signing other certificate requests is also possible with OpenSSL. See
www.openssl.org or www.madboa.com/geek/openssl for more information.
Steel Belted RADIUS

Commercial RADIUS server by Juniper Networks that provides a GUI administration interface. It
also provides a certificate request and self-signed certificate generator. The self-signed certificate
has extension .sbrpvk and is in the PKCS12 format. OpenSSL can convert this into a PEM format
certificate and key by using the following commands in the order shown:
openssl pkcs12 -in sbr_certkey.sbrpvk -nodes -out sbr_certkey.pem
The sbr_certkey.pem file contains both certificate and key. If loading the SBR certificate into EDS
unit as an authority, you will need to edit it.
1. Open the file in any plain text editor.
2. Delete all info before the following: “----- BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----“
3. Delete all info after the following: “----- END CERTIFICATE-----“
4. Save as sbr_cert.pem. SBR accepts trusted-root certificates in the DER format.
5. Again, OpenSSL can convert any format into DER by using the following commands in the
order shown:
openssl x509 -inform pem -in mp_cert.pem -outform der -out
mp_cert.der
Note: With SBR, when the identity information includes special characters such as
dashes and periods, SBR changes the format it uses to store these strings and becomes
incompatible with the current EDS release. We will add support for this and other formats
in future releases. Free RADIUS—Linux open-source RADIUS server. It is versatile, but
complicated to configure.

XML Settings
An EDS device server allows for the configuration of devices by using XML configuration records
(XCRs). You can export an existing configuration for use on other EDS devices or import a saved
configuration file.
On the XML: Export Configuration web page, you can export the current system configuration in
XML format. The generated XML file can be imported later to restore a configuration. It can also be
modified and imported to update the configuration on this EDS unit or another. The XML data can
be exported to the browser window or to a file on the file system.
By default, all groups are selected except those pertaining to the network configuration. This is so
that if you later import the entire XML configuration, it will not break your network connectivity. You
may select or clear the checkbox for any group.
In the XML: Import System Configuration Page you can import a system configuration from an
XML file. The XML data can be imported from a file on the file system or uploaded using HTTP.
The groups to import can be specified by toggling the respective group item or entering a filter
string. When toggling a group item, all instances of that group will be imported. The filter string can
be used to import specific instances of a group. The text format of this string is:
<g>:;<g>:;...
For example, if you only wanted to import the line 1 setting from an XCR, use a filter string of
line:1.
Each group name <g> is followed by a colon and the instance value . Each <g> : value is
separated with a semicolon. If a group has no instance, specify the group name <g> only.
Note: The number of lines available for importing and exporting differ between Lantronix
products. The screenshots in this chapter represent one line, as available, for example,

on an XPort Pro embedded networking module and EDS1100. However, other device
networking products (such as EDS2100, EDS4100, XPort AR, MatchPort AR embedded
networking modules, EDS8/16PS and EDS8/16/32PR) support additional lines.

15: Branding the EDS Unit
This chapter describes how to brand your EDS device server by using Web Manager and
Command Line Interface (CLI). It contains the following sections on customization:
 Web Manager Customization
 Short and Long Name Customization
Web Manager Customization

Customize the Web Manager’s appearance by modifying index.html and style.css. The style
(fonts, colors, and spacing) of the Web Manager is controlled with style.css and the text and
graphics are controlled with index.html.
The Web Manager files are hidden and are incorporated directly into the firmware image but may
be overridden by placing the appropriate file in the appropriate directory on the EDS device server
file system.
Web Manager files can be retrieved and overridden with the following procedure:
1. FTP to the EDS device.
2. Make a directory (mkdir) and name it http/config
3. Change to the directory (cd) that you created in step 2. (http/config)
4. Get the file by using get <filename>
5. Modify the file as required or create a new one with the same name
6. Put the file by using put <filename>
7. Type quit. The overriding files appear in the file system’s http/config directory.
8. Restart any open browser to view the changes.
9. If you wish to go back to the default files in the firmware image, simply delete the overriding
files from the file system.
Short and Long Name Customization

Short and long names may be customized in Web Manager according to the directions in System
Settings. The names display in the CLI show command and in the System web page in the Current
Configuration table. The short name is used for the show command. Both names display in the CLI
Product Type field in the following example:

Appendix B: Binary to Hexadecimal Conversions
Many of the unit’s configuration procedures require you to assemble a series of options
(represented as bits) into a complete command (represented as a byte).
The resulting binary value must be converted to a hexadecimal representation.
Use this chapter to learn to convert binary values to hexadecimals or to look up hexadecimal
values in the tables of configuration options. The tables include:
 Command Mode (serial string sign-on message)
 AES Keys
Converting Binary to Hexadecimal
Conversion Table
Hexadecimal digits have values ranging from 0 to F, which are represented as 0-9, A (for 10), B
(for 11), etc. To convert a binary value (for example, 0100 1100) to a hexadecimal representation,
treat the upper and lower four bits separately to produce a two-digit hexadecimal number (in this
case, 4C). Use the following table to convert values from binary to hexadecimal.

Erdung
Eine zuverlässige Schutzerdung dieser Ausrüstung muss gewährleistet sein. Dies gilt besonders
bei Anschluss an Mehrfachsteckdosen.
Installation Instructions
Rack Mounting
If rack mounted units are installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, they may require further
evaluation by certification agencies. You must consider the following items:
 The ambient conditions within the rack may be greater than the room conditions.
Installation should be so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation is not
compromised. The maximum temperature for the equipment in this environment is 50°C.
Consideration should be given to the maximum rated ambient conditions.
 Installation should be so that a hazardous stability condition is not achieved due to uneven
loading.

Input Supply
Check nameplate ratings to assure there is no overloading of supply circuits that have an effect on
over current protection and supply wiring.
Grounding
Reliable earthing of this equipment must be maintained. Particular attention should be given to
supply connections when connecting to power strips, rather than direct connections to the branch
circuit strips.
