2: Introduction SSH and SSL are able to do the following:  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 EDS3000 devices have robust defenses to hostile Internet attacks such as a denial of service (DoS), which can be used to take down the network. Moreover, the EDS3000 devices cannot be used to bring down other devices on the network. You can use the EDS3000 devices with the Lantronix Secure Com Port Redirector (SCPR) to encrypt COM port-based communications between PCs and virtually any electronic device. SCPR is a Windows application that creates a secure communications path over a network between the computer and serial-based devices traditionally controlled via a COM port. With SCPR installed at each computer, computers that were formerly "hard-wired" by serial cabling for security purposes or to accommodate applications that only understood serial data could instead communicate over an Ethernet network or the Internet. Terminal Server/Device Management Remote offices can have routers, PBXs, servers, and other networking equipment that require remote management from the corporate facility. The EDS3000 devices easily attach to the serial ports on a server, Private Branch Exchange (PBX), or other networking equipment to deliver central, remote monitoring and management capability. Troubleshooting Capabilities The EDS3000 devices offers a comprehensive diagnostic tool set that lets you troubleshoot problems quickly and easily. Available from the Web Manager, CLI, and XML interfaces, the diagnostic tools let you:  View critical hardware, memory, MIB-II, buffer pool, and IP socket information.  Perform ping and traceroute operations.  Conduct forward or backup DNS lookup operations.  View all processes currently running on the EDS3000, including CPU utilization and total stack space available. Configuration Methods After installation, the EDS3000 devices requires configuration. For the unit to operate correctly on a network, it must have a unique IP address on the network. There are four basic methods for logging into the EDS3000 devices and assigning IP addresses and other configurable settings: Lantronix Provisioning Manager: Obtain basic information about the device such as firmware version, IP address, and serial number. Update the firmware, configure the device using XML files, or upload to the file system. See Chapter 4: Using Lantronix Provisioning Manager. Web Manager: Through a web browser, configure the EDS3000 devices settings using the Lantronix Web Manager. See Chapter 5: Configuration Using Web Manager. EDS3000 Device Server User Guide 19

EDS3000 Device Server User Guide

SSH and SSL are able to do the following:
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 EDS3000 devices have robust defenses to
hostile Internet attacks such as a denial of service (DoS), which can be used to take down the
network. Moreover, the EDS3000 devices cannot be used to bring down other devices on the
network.
You can use the EDS3000 devices with the Lantronix Secure Com Port Redirector (SCPR) to
encrypt COM port-based communications between PCs and virtually any electronic device. SCPR
is a Windows application that creates a secure communications path over a network between the
computer and serial-based devices traditionally controlled via a COM port. With SCPR installed at
each computer, computers that were formerly “hard-wired” by serial cabling for security purposes
or to accommodate applications that only understood serial data could instead communicate over
an Ethernet network or the Internet.
Terminal Server/Device Management
Remote offices can have routers, PBXs, servers, and other networking equipment that require
remote management from the corporate facility. The EDS3000 devices easily attach to the serial
ports on a server, Private Branch Exchange (PBX), or other networking equipment to deliver
central, remote monitoring and management capability.
Troubleshooting Capabilities
The EDS3000 devices offers a comprehensive diagnostic tool set that lets you troubleshoot
problems quickly and easily. Available from the Web Manager, CLI, and XML interfaces, the
diagnostic tools let you:
View critical hardware, memory, MIB-II, buffer pool, and IP socket information.
Perform ping and traceroute operations.
Conduct forward or backup DNS lookup operations.
View all processes currently running on the EDS3000, including CPU utilization and total stack
space available.

a network, it must have a unique IP address on the network. There are four basic methods for
logging into the EDS3000 devices and assigning IP addresses and other configurable settings:
Lantronix Provisioning Manager:
