XPort® is a compact, integrated solution to web-enable any device with serial capability. By incorporating XPort to a product design, manufacturers can offer network connectivity as a standard feature within weeks - so they can be accessed and controlled over the Internet.

Full Networking in a Tiny Package
XPort removes the complexity - of designing network connectivity into a product by incorporating all of the required hardware and software inside a single embedded solution. Smaller than your thumb, it includes all essential networking features, including a 10BaseT/100Base-TX Ethernet connection, proven operating system, an embedded web server, e-mail alerts, a full TCP/IP protocol stack and 256-bit AES encryption for secure communications. This easy-to-embed networking processor module enables engineers to focus on their core competency while reducing development time and cost and increasing product value.

Integrated Network Communications Module
XPort is powered by our DSTni™ network processor SoC, which includes a 10/100 MAC/PHY and 256 KB of SRAM. It features a built-in web server for communications with a device via a standard Internet browser. Web capability can be used for remote configuration, real-time monitoring or troubleshooting. XPort has 512 KB of on-module Flash for web pages and software upgrades. It acts as a dedicated co-processor that optimizes network activities permitting the host microprocessor to function at maximum efficiency.

Building Intelligent Devices
With XPort you can embed intelligence into any electronic product for applications such as:

• Remote diagnostics and upgrades
• Asset tracking and replenishment
• Automation and control
• Power management
• Remote collaboration
• Personalized content delivery

Robust, feature-rich software suite eliminating the need to negotiate the intricacies of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or Internet Protocol (IP), XPort incorporates:

• Robust Real Time Operating System (RTOS)
• Full-featured network protocol stack
• Built-in web server for device communication and configuration via a standard browser

The Windows®-based DeviceInstaller™ makes configuring one or more XPorts in a subnet quick and easy

• Install and configure XPort and load firmware
• Assign IP & other network specific addresses
• Load custom web pages and view specific device data
• Enable web-based configuration of the device
• Ping or query the attached device(s) over the network
• Allow Telnet communication with the device(s)

Highly Integrated Wi-Fi in a Compact Design

Dual-band Wi-Fi, antenna diversity, Enterprise Wi-Fi security and robust wireless connectivity management deliver higher performance and scalable deployment within noisy industrial and enterprise settings. The xPico 200 series makes it easy to deploy robust Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity without writing complex drivers. The industry-leading compact SMT footprint of the xPico 200 series allows it to fit it into any design and operate in extreme environments.

Robust Connectivity for Reliable Data Access and Management

Simplify embedded application development and go to market faster with the xPico 200 gateway's built-in network communications engine and flexible system integration modes. Completely offload IoT communications from your embedded microcontroller when operating as a network co-processor or use it as a wireless microcontroller with the provided SDK.

Field-tested TruPort® Serial supports transparent pass-through of hundreds of proprietary serial and standard Fieldbus protocols and TruPort® Socket enables complete control over multiple connections via TCP, UDP or TLS. Configure and control the gateway operation from the host microcontroller side using command mode or the network side with Web Service APIs and XML configuration data.

Comprehensive Device Security Framework

The xPico 200 series includes a comprehensive suite of built-in device security applications that offer robust and secure connections, data-at-rest protection for keys, configuration, secure boot and secure firmware-over-the-air (FOTA) updates, user role-based access control and fine-grained policy-based network service control.
