Lantronix 900-607 manual Overview, XML Architecture and Device Control

2:Overview

PremierWave XN 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 PremierWave XN 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. PremierWave 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, PremierWave XN uses industry-standard tools for configuration, communication, and control. For example, the PremierWave XN 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.
