XML Import and XML Export
The xPico Wi-Fi embedded device server allows for the configuration of devices by using XML
configuration records (XCRs). You can export an existing configuration for use on other xPico Wi-
Fi devices or import a saved configuration file. XML import and export are only available through
the CLI.
Note:
The xPico Wi-Fi module itself only supports serial TTL signaling on both Lines. If
used with the evaluation board (see the xPico Embedded Device Server Evaluation Kit
User Guide), then Line 2 may be routed through a serial-to-USB converter via jumper
settings.
To ensure optimal performance when configuring and managing the device using XML, it is
required that serial port flow control is enabled. This maybe hardware or soft flow control.
Lantronix recommends the use of hardware flow control to ensure the best throughput.
To Import or Export XML Configuration
1. Connect the xPico Wi-Fi embedded device server to a PC using:
-
A null modem cable for line 1.
-
A USB cable for line 2. The USB driver will automatically install into your PC.
2. Configure command line on line and select hardware or software flow control.
Note:
If you are using line 2, select software flow control as hardware flow control is
not supported.
3. Open a terminal emulator from the PC, e.g., Tera Term version 4.58.
4. Select the Com port or USB serial port and set the serial settings, on the terminal emulator, to
match the appropriate line on the device server.
5. When you see prompt ‘>’ on the terminal emulator, type 'h' to view the single character
commands available.
