The WiPort NR (No Radio) is the most compact, integrated solution available to add Ethernet networking to any device with a serial interface. Using this integrated hardware and software module, you will add to your profits by significantly reducing product development time, risk, and cost.
With a high level of integration, in a compact package, the WiPort NR Device Server™ features a Lantronix DSTni™ x86 Ethernet Processor SoC, memory, a 10/100 Ethernet transceiver, and dual high-speed serial ports. All of this combines to give you a complete, ready-touse network enabling solution.
Total pin compatibility with Lantronix's WiPort 802.11 wireless module enables a single board design that can be either wired networking or wireless networking ready using either the WiPort NR or the WiPort.
To enable access to a local network or the Internet, the WiPort NR integrates a fully developed TCP/IP network stack and OS. The WiPort NR also includes an embedded web server that can be used to remotely configure, monitor, or troubleshoot the attached device.
WiPort NR serves web pages to a web browser when there is a need to gather information or communicate with networked devices. The WiPort NR 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 NR 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 NR functions independently of a PC, providing a complete hardware and software solution for adding Ethernet or IP connectivity to your edge devices. Within a single package this powerful device server comes with a 10/100 Ethernet transceiver, a reliable and proven operating system stored in flash memory, an embedded web server and a full TCP/IP protocol stack.
The WiPort NR software runs on a Lantronix DSTni Ethernet Processor SoC which has 256 KB of internal SRAM, and 16 KB of boot ROM. The WiPort NR communicates to the edge device through a 3.3V logic level interface. Two MB of flash memory is included for storing firmware and web pages
The WiPort NR runs on a single 3.3V supply, and has a built-in voltage supervisory circuit.
Protocol Support
The WiPort NR uses the widely accepted 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.
