XPort® is a compact, integrated solution to web enable
virtually any device with serial capability. By
incorporating XPort to a product design, manufacturers can
quickly and easily offe r serial to Ethernet networking
capability as a standard feature — so they can be accessed
and controlled over the Internet.
Full
Networking in a Tiny Package
XPort embedded device server removes the complexity – of
designing network connectivity into a product by
incorporating all of the required hardware and software
inside a single embedded Ethernet solution. Smaller than
your thumb, it includes all essential networking features,
including a 10Base- T/100Base-TX Ethernet connection,
proven operating system, an embedded web server, e-mail
alerts, a full TCP/IP protocol stack, and 256-bit AES
encryption for secure communications. This easy-to-embed
networking processor module enables engineers to focus on
their core competency while reducing development time and
cost and increasing product value.
Integrated Network Communications Module
XPort is powered by our DSTni™ network processor SoC,
which includes a 10/100 MAC/PHY and 256 KB of SRAM. It
features a built-in web server for communications with a
device via a standard Internet browser. Web capability can
be used for remote configuration, real-time monitoring or
troubleshooting. XPort has 512 KB of on module Flash for
web pages and software upgrades. It acts as a dedicated
co-processor that optimizes network activities permitting
the host microprocessor to function at maximum efficiency. |
