10/100Base-T Ethernet Interface
The 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface is a standard RJ45 connector which provides users
with access to manager’s XML-RPC API and the Admin Toolset utility.
Note: The Ethernet interface must be connected before the XG2510HE is powered on in
order for Linux to recognize the Ethernet port.
XML-RPC API
The XML-RPC API is an open Extensible Markup Language (XML) interface that lets
a client application send Remote Procedure Call (RPC) requests to the gateway/
manager and receive responses and other data from the manager via XML-RPC. The
API consists of a Control Channel and a Notification Channel. The Control Channel is
used to establish connection and exchange commands and information about the
SmartMesh Network. The Notification Channel is used to stream data and network
events to the client program. The API is documented in the XG2510HE Gateway/
Manager XML API Guide.
Admin Toolset
The XG2510HE provides a Web-based administrative tool, called Admin Tool-set (see
Figure 3), which can be used to view network statistics and module (mote) and alarm
information, configure serial and Ethernet port settings, configure the Real Time Clock
or enable the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server, set the network security mode, and
execute selective commands. You can also use Admin Toolset to upgrade the software
and perform remote software updates on XDM2510H modules in the wireless network.
The Admin Toolset utility is described in detail in the XG2510HE Gateway/Manager
Admin Toolset Guide.
