Click the Clear All link clear all of the checkboxes. By default, all serial line instances are selected.
13. Point to Point Protocol PPP Note: For instructions on configuring PPP for the XPort Pro, see PPP Configuration on page 61. Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) establishes a direct connection between two nodes. It defines a method for data link connectivity between devices using physical layers (such as serial lines). Some of the PPP features include error detection, compression, and authentication. For each of these capabilities, PPP has a separate protocol.
13 Point to Point Protocol PPP pass packets through the XPort Pro, a static route must be configured on both the PPP Peer device and the remote device it wishes to communicate with. The static route in the PPP Peer device must use the PPP Local IP Address as its gateway, and the static route in the remote device must use the Ethernet/WLAN IP Address of the XPort Pro as its gateway.
14. Tunneling Tunneling allows serial devices to communicate over a network, without “being aware” of the devices which establish the network connection between them. Tunneling parameters are configured using the Web Manager (see page 22) or Command Mode Tunnel Menu (see the XPort Pro Command Reference for the full list of commands.) The XPort Pro supports two tunneling connections simultaneously per serial port. One of these connections is Connect Mode; the other connection is Accept Mode.
14 Tunneling SSL UDP (available only in Connect Mode because it is a connectionless protocol). AES encryption over UDP Telnet When setting AES encryption, both the encrypt key and the decrypt key must be specified. The encrypt key is used for data sent out. The decrypt key is used for receiving data. Both of the keys may be set to the same value. For Connect Mode using UDP, the XPort Pro accepts packets from any device on the network. It will send packets to the last device that sent it packets.
14 Tunneling Accept Mode In Accept Mode, the XPort Pro waits for a connection from the network. The configurable local port is the port the remote device connects to for this connection. There is no remote port or address. The default local port is 10001 for serial port 1 and 10002 for serial port 2. Accept Mode supports the following protocols: SSH (the XPort Pro is the server in Accept Mode). When using this protocol, the SSH server host keys and at least one SSH authorized user must be configured.
14 Tunneling Packing Mode Packing Mode takes data from the serial port, groups it together, and sends it out to nodes on the network. The groupings may be configured by size or by time intervals. The following settings are configurable for Packing Mode: Disabled Timeout: The data is packed for a specified period before being sent out. Send Character: The data is packed until the specified send character is encountered.
14 Tunneling For commands that are valid but not applicable to the XPort Pro, an “OK” message is sent (but the command is silently ignored). The XPort Pro attempts to make a Command Mode connection as per the IP/DNS/port numbers defined in Connect Mode. It is possible to override the remote address, as well as the remote port number. Command Description +++ Switches to Command Mode if entered from serial port during connection. AT? Help.
14 Tunneling Command Description ATS0=n Accept incoming connection. n value of 0 = disable n value of 1 = connect automatically n value of 2+ = connect with ATA command. ATA Answer incoming connection (if ATS0 is 2 or greater). A/ Repeat last valid command. Configure either the IP address using the address on its own (), or the IP address and port number by entering : . The port number cannot be entered on its own.
15. VIP VIP (Virtual IP) takes advantage of the Lantronix ManageLinx technology that solves the access-through-firewall problem. ManageLinx utilizes existing network infrastructure to create a virtual device network (VDN). The VDN provides direct access to only authorized equipment, behind firewalls, from anywhere via the net. The VDN technology enables you to create dedicated TCP/IP connections between any two devices, using easily deployed hardware appliances. There is no client software to install.
15 VIP Importing the bootstrap file To configure an XPort Pro to use VIP Access, import the bootstrap file as you would any XML Configuration Record (XCR). For instructions on importing XCRs see chapter 12, Advanced Settings Enabling VIP Once the bootstrap file has been imported, VIP Access can be enabled and a conduit with the DSM will be established. The VIP Statistics shows the current state of the conduit. When configured correctly, a conduit with the DSM will be maintained at all times.
16. Security in Detail The XPort Pro supports Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Secure Shell: SSH SSH is a network protocol for securely accessing a remote device. This protocol provides a secure, encrypted communication channel between two hosts over a network. Two instances require configuration: when the XPort Pro is the SSH server and when it is an SSH client. The SSH server is used by the CLI (Command Mode) and for tunneling in Accept Mode.
16 Security in Detail For more options, look at the help from Open SSH: ssh-keygen ? 1. If the keys do not exist, select the Key Type and the key’s Bit Size from the Create New Keys section. Click Submit to create new private and public host keys. Note: Generating new keys with a large bit size results in longer key generation times. 2. Click SSH SSH Server: Authorized Users at the top of the page. The SSH Server: Authorized Users page appears. 3. Enter the Username and Password for authorized users. 4.
16 Security in Detail Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) SSL uses digital certificates for authentication and cryptography against eavesdropping and tampering. Sometimes only the server is authenticated, sometimes both server and client. The XPort Pro can be server and/or client, depending on the application. Public key encryption systems exchange information and keys and set up the encrypted tunnel. Efficient symmetric encryption methods encrypt the data going through the tunnel after it is established.
16 Security in Detail Security Certificate Principles To sign other certificates, the authority uses a private key. The published authority certificate contains the matching public key that allows another to verify the signature but not recreate it. The authority’s certificate can be signed by itself, resulting in a self-signed or trustedroot certificate, or by another (higher) authority, resulting in an intermediate authority certificate.
16 Security in Detail Certificates and private keys can be stored in several file formats. Best known are PKCS12, DER and PEM. Certificate and key can be in the same file or in separate files. The key can be encrypted with a password or not. The XPort Pro currently only accepts separate PEM files. The key needs to be unencrypted. Utilities Several utilities exist to convert between the formats. OpenSSL OpenSSL is a widely used open source set of SSL related command line utilities.
16 Security in Detail becomes incompatible with the current XPort Pro release. We will add support for this and other formats in future releases. FreeRadius Free Radius is a Linux open-source Radius server. It is versatile, but complicated to configure.
