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.
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 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 '>' on TeraTerm, type 'h' to view the single character commands available.
>h
Single character commands:
c - Dumps XML configuration with secrets; stop with any character.
d - Dumps XML configuration without secrets; stop with any character.
h or ? - Shows this help.
s - Dumps XML status; stop with any character.
t - Shows Trouble Log; stop with any character.
(Paste of XML) - Imports XML configuration.
6. Type c in the terminal window prompt to get the current xPico Wi-Fi xml configuration in the
form of a text dump.
7. Copy and paste the configuration text into notepad or some other basic text editor.
8. Remove all the spaces in the script within the text editor. This basic text is the exported XML
configuration and is now available for copy-paste into any xPico Wi-Fi embedded device
server.
9. Make any additional changes to the configuration text to modify the XML configuration.
10. Copy and paste <CR> all of the text into the terminal emulator connected to the desired xPico
Wi-Fi embedded device server, to "import" the new configuration.
Note: Software flow control experiences overrun above 460800 baud.
