VDC power source, one terminal block connector for 9-30 VDC power source).
Controller: 32-bit ARM9 microprocessor running at 400 megahertz (Mhz) with 32 Kilobyte
(KB) Configurable Cache and 32 Kilobytes (KB) internally based around the PremierWave XN
intelligent gateway.
Memory: 64 MB SDRAM, 256 MB Flash, and 8 MB serial SPI Flash.
Ethernet: Wired 802.3 Ethernet networking
Wireless: 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless networking
Serial Ports: Two 300 to 921 kbaud, RS-232/422/485 serial ports
USB Ports: Two USB 2.0 full speed interfaces
Configuration via CLI, XML and HTTP.
Ethernet to wireless tunneling
Lantronix SmartRoam™ technology
Built-in site survey tool
Temperature Range: Operates over a temperature range of -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to 158°F).
The storage temperature range is -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F).
Applications
The PremierWave XN intelligent gatewayis very suitable for these application scenarios:

Troubleshooting Capabilities
The PremierWave XN device server offers a comprehensive diagnostic toolset that lets you
troubleshoot problems quickly and easily. Available from the CLI or Web Manager, the diagnostic
tools let you:
View critical hardware, memory, buffer pool, IP socket information and routing table
Perform ping and traceroute operations
2: Introduction
Conduct forward or reverse DNS lookup operations
View all processes currently running on the PremierWave XN intelligent gateway including
CPU utilization
View system log messages
Configuration Methods
After installation, the PremierWave XN unit requires configuration. For the unit to operate correctly
on a network, it must have a unique IP address on the network. There are four basic methods for
logging into the PremierWave XN intelligent gateway and assigning IP addresses and other
configurable settings:
Web Manager: View and configure all settings easily through a web browser using the
Lantronix Web Manager. (See Configuration Using Web Manager on page 33.)
DeviceInstaller: Configure the IP address and related settings and view current settings on
the PremierWave XN intelligent gateway using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC
attached to a network. You will need the latest version of the Lantronix® DeviceInstaller™
utility. (See Accessing the PremierWave XN Device Using DeviceInstaller on page 31.)
Command Mode: There are a few methods for accessing Command Mode (CLI): making a
Telnet connection, or connecting a PC or other host running a terminal emulation program to
the unit’s port. (See the PremierWave XN Intelligent Gateway Command Reference for
instructions and available commands.)
XML: The PremierWave XN intelligent gateway supports XML-based configuration and setup
records that make device configuration transparent to users and administrators. XML is easily
editable with a standard text or XML editor. (See the PremierWave XN Intelligent Gateway
Command Reference for instructions and commands).
PremierWave® XN Intelligent Gateway User Guide 18
Addresses and Port Numbers
Note: The hardware address on the label is
also the product serial number. The hardware
address on the label is the address for the
Ethernet (eth0) interface. The WLAN (wlan0)
interface uses the Ethernet address "+1". For
example, if the product label hardware address
is 00-80-A3-14-1B-18, then the Ethernet
address is 00-80-A3-14-1B-18 and the WLAN
address is 00-80-A3-14-1B-19.
Hardware Address
The hardware address is also referred to as the Ethernet address, physical address, or MAC
address. The first three bytes of the Ethernet address are fixed and identify the unit as a Lantronix
product. The fourth, fifth, and sixth bytes are unique numbers assigned to each unit. Sample
hardware address:
00---14-1B-18
00:::14:1B:18
IP Address
Every device connected to an IP network must have a unique IPv4 address. This address
references the specific unit.
Port Numbers
Every TCP connection and every UDP datagram is defined by a destination and source IP
address, and a destination and source port number. For example, a Telnet server commonly uses
TCP port number 23.
2: Introduction
The following is a list of the default server port numbers running on the PremierWave XN
intelligent gateway:
TCP Port 22: SSH Server (Command Mode configuration)
TCP Port 23: Telnet Server (Command Mode configuration)
TCP Port 80: HTTP (Web Manager Configuration)
TCP Port 21: FTP
UDP Port 30718: LDP (Lantronix Discovery Protocol) port
TCP/UDP Port 10001: Tunnel 1 (see note below)
Note: Additional TCP/UDP ports and tunnels will be available, depending on the product
type. The default numbering of each additional TCP/UDP port and corresponding tunnel
will increase sequentially (i.e., TCP/UDP Port 1000X: Tunnel X).

LED (continued) Description
Signal Strength Indicates WLAN signal strength when connection is established During WPS
negotiation and connection establishment, it reports status of WPS transaction.
When indicating the WLAN signal strength, see Table 3-12 for signal strength
information for connections in 5 GHz band or Table 3-11 for signal strength
information for connections in 2.4 GHz band.
For WPS status indications, see Table 3-4.

Notes:
For Table 3-3 above, a “long” blink is 0.7 seconds of light followed by 0.3 seconds of no
light. A “short” blink is a light that is on for only 0.2 seconds and followed by 0.2 seconds
of no light.
The diagnostic blink patterns reflect the highest priority fault condition. Also, the
Diagnostic LED will give an initial, identifying blink pattern to indicate the type of diagnostic
information it will display. All power and other non-network related diagnostic patterns
begin with one long blink. All wired LAN related diagnostics patterns begin with two long
blinks. All WLAN-related diagnostics patterns begin with three long blinks.

Installing the PremierWave XN Device
Be sure to place or mount the device securely on a flat horizontal or vertical surface. The device
comes with brackets for mounting it, for example, on a wall. If using AC power, do not use outlets
controlled by a wall switch.
Observe the following guidelines when connecting the serial devices:
The PremierWave XN unit serial ports support RS-232/422/485.
Use a null modem cable to connect the serial port to another DTE device. Use a straight-
though (modem) cable to connect the serial port to a DCE device.
Connect your RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port of the unit.
The PremierWave XN device supports a power range of 9 to 30 VDC. You can power up the
device with barrel-power connector and/or the 3-pin terminal connector for backup power supply.
Note: As soon as you plug the device into power, the device powers up automatically,
the self-test begins, and LEDs would indicate the device's status
Perform the following steps to install your device:
1. Connect PremierWave XN device to the serial ports.
3: Installation of the PremierWave XN Device
2. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the unit and your Ethernet network.
3. Connect the antennas to the SMA connector on the backside. Do note that the safe distance
due to RF exposure from antenna is 23 cm.
Note: Antennas must be installed prior to powering on the unit. Do not remove or
connect the antennas while the unit power is on.

4: Device Discovery and Quick Setup
Software embedded within the PremierWave XN intelligent gateway enables the device to be
easily discovered via the Ethernet network without any knowledge of the IP address or default
network configuration of the device.
The two methods supported are:
1. Accessing the PremierWave XN Device Using UPnP
2. Accessing the PremierWave XN Device Using DeviceInstaller
Accessing the PremierWave XN Device Using UPnP
This section covers the steps for locating a PremierWave XN unit and viewing its properties and
device details using UPnP (Network Discovery). You may also use the DeviceInstaller utility to
discover PremierWave XN units. See Accessing the PremierWave XN Device Using
DeviceInstaller on page 31.
The PremierWave XN units can be discovered automatically from Microsoft Windows® platforms
using UPnP (Network Discovery). UPnP enables devices to be discovered and a refreshed list of
devices available under "Network Places" within Windows Explorer as devices come online or go
offline.
Using the operations described below, it becomes a "plug and play" mechanism to reach the
device's Web UI (Web Manager) and complete the rest of the configuration.
Note: There is no new software to install as UPnP support is built-into Windows
operating systems, however it must be enabled on the Windows PC. Please see notes on
enabling UPnP (Network Discovery) on Windows XP and Windows 7 operating systems.
