WiPort™ Data Sheet

General Description

The WiPort is the most compact, integrated solution

available to add 802.11b wireless networking to any

edge device with a serial interface. Using our highly

integrated hardware and software platform, you will add

to your bottom line by significantly reducing product

development time, risk, and cost.

The WiPort offers the highest level of integration

available in a device server. Within a compact package

is a DSTni x86 controller, memory, 802.11b transceiver, a

10/100 Ethernet transceiver, and dual high-speed serial

ports. All of this combines to give you a complete

networking solution. The WiPort is the first product in a

line of embedded wireless device servers, designed

with flexibility to support additional wireless standards

without requiring redesign.

To enable access to a local network or the Internet, the

WiPort integrates a fully developed TCP/IP network

stack and OS. The WiPort also includes an embedded

web server that can be used to remotely configure,

monitor, or troubleshoot the attached device.

WiPort serves web pages to a web browser when there

is a need to gather information or communicate with

networked devices. The WiPort becomes a conduit

between you and your device over the network or

Internet.

The Windows™-based configuration software, Device

Installer, simplifies installation and setup. The WiPort

can also be configured locally through its serial port, or

remotely over a network using Telnet (password-

protected) or a web browser. Flash memory provides

for maintenance-free, nonvolatile storage of web

pages, and allows future system software upgrades.

Hardware & Software Description

The WiPort functions independently of a PC, providing

a complete hardware and software solution for adding

wireless connectivity to your edge devices. Within a

single package this powerful device server comes with

an 802.11b wireless connection, a 10/100 Ethernet

transceiver, a reliable and proven operating system

stored in flash memory, an embedded web server, a full

TCP/IP protocol stack, and WEP security.

The WiPort software runs on a Lantronix DSTni

controller which has 256 KB of internal SRAM, and 16

KB of boot ROM. The WiPort communicates to the

edge device through a 3.3V logic level interface. 2 MB

of flash memory is included for storing firmware and

web pages.

A larger memory option is available that includes 4 MB

of flash memory, and an additional 1 MB of SRAM. The

WiPort runs on a single 3.3V supply, and has a built-in

voltage supervisory circuit.

The WiPort will connect through a coaxial cable “pigtail”

to a panel-mounted external antenna, which makes the

electro-mechanical integration very simple.

Protocol Support The WiPort uses the widely accepted 802.11b protocol to connect to a wireless access point or ad-hoc network. It uses the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to assure that no data is lost or duplicated and that everything sent to the connection arrives correctly at the target. Other supported protocols are listed below: • ARP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, Telnet, TFTP, AutoIP, DHCP, HTTP, and SNMP for network communications. • IP for addressing, routing, and data block handling over the network.
