the Evolution OS™ 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 the EDS.
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.
Really Simple Syndication (RSS)
The EDS supports Really Simple Syndication (RSS), a rapidly emerging technology
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™ provides the EDS with 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.
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 can
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
