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.
