Available in 8, 16 and 32 port configurations, the Evolution
Device Servers (EDS) are ideal for remotely monitoring and
managing serial-based equipment in diverse applications
such as retail/POS, medical, security telecommunications,
industrial and building automation.

Featuring Evolution OS

™

, our powerful real-time networking

operating system, they deliver an unprecedented level of
intelligence and security to networked equipment. With these
innovative, versatile products, multiple electronic devices can
become secure members of the corporate network that can be
accessed and managed from virtually anywhere, at any time.

Without requiring any special software, these multi-port
device servers can connect up to 8 to 16 or 32 RS-232 serial
devices to your network in a matter of minutes. Using a
unique method called “serial tunneling,” they encapsulate
serial data from the device into packets to transport it 
over Ethernet.

Setup is a breeze with the included Windows-based
DeviceInstaller

™

. The EDS can also be set up locally via a

serial port, or remotely over a network using Telnet, a web
browser or SNMP.

Evolution OS provides a ‘data center-grade’ level of
protection so each device on the network carries the same
level of security as IT equipment in your corporate data
center. The EDS feature robust defenses to hostile Internet
attacks such as denial of service (DoS) and port mapping
that could be used to take down your network. The
hardened OS and mature protocol stack prevent the device
servers from being used to bring down other devices on the

network. And with built-in AES, SSH and SSL, they provide
robust key management algorithms that:

•

Verify that any data received came from the proper source

•

Validate that data transferred from the source over the 

network is unchanged when it arrives at its destination

•

Provide the ability to run popular M2M protocols over a 

secure SSH or AES connection

With SSH and SSL, they support a variety of popular cipher
technologies including 128/256/512/1024-bit AES (Rijndael),
3DES and RC4 Encryption Public/Private keys and hashing
algorithms such as SHA-1 and MD5. HTTP authentication
uses Base-64, Digest Authentication and SSL.

Cisco-like CLI – The EDS utilizes a Cisco-like command line
interface (CLI) with syntax very similar to that used by data
center equipment such as routers and hubs. This industry-
standard tool simplifies configuration and control, making it
easier to integrate edge devices or data center equipment
into the enterprise network.

XML-based Architecture – XML is a standard tool for web
services, data transfer and rich content management that
encapsulates data into a text-based format. XML-based
configuration and setup records in the EDS make device
configuration transparent and easily modified with a
standard text or XML editor.

Eight MB of Flash memory provides maintenance-free,
nonvolatile storage of web pages, and enables future system
software upgrades. Featuring a 32-bit XScale processor and
32MB of RAM, these device servers are highly customizable
with the Evolution OS Software Developers’ Kit (SDK). A free
compiler is available. 

Lantronix Com Port Redirector

™

software is included. 

It redirects application data destined for a local serial (COM)
port on a PC to a serial port on the EDS. Data sent from the
equipment to the device server is transmitted back to the
application over the network. Com Port Redirector then
presents the data to the application as if it were from a
local serial COM port.

The EDS is the first line of rack- mountable device

servers capable of delivering an data center-grade,

programmable device computing and networking

platform for integrating “edge” equipment into the

enterprise network.
