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
