Configuration Methods
After installation, the PremierWave XC 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 XC 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 29.)
DeviceInstaller: Configure the IP address and related settings and view current settings on the
PremierWave XC using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network. (See
Using DeviceInstaller- See Page 26.)
Command Mode: There are two methods for accessing Command Mode (CLI): making a Telnet
or SSH connection, or connecting a terminal (or a PC running a terminal emulation program) to
the unit’s serial port. (See the PremierWave XC Command Reference Guide for instructions and
available commands.)
XML: The PremierWave XC 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 XC Command Reference Guide for
instructions and commands.)
Addresses and Port Numbers
Hardware Address
The hardware address is also referred to as the Ethernet address or MAC address. The first three
bytes of the Ethernet address are fixed and read 00-20-4A, identifying the unit as a Lantronix
product. The fourth, fifth, and sixth bytes are unique numbers assigned to each unit.
Sample Hardware Address:
00-20-4A-14-01-18
00:20:4A:14:01:18
IP Address
Every device connected to an IP network must have a unique IP 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.
The following is a list of the default server port numbers running on the PremierWave XC:
TCP Port 22: SSH Server (Command Mode configuration)
TCP Port 23: Telnet Server (Command Mode configuration)
TCP Port 80: HTTP (Web Manager configuration)

6: Network Settings
The Network Settings show the status of the Ethernet or Cellular interface/link and let you
configure the settings on the device. Interface settings are related to the configuration of the IP
and related protocols. Link settings are related to the physical link connection, which carries the
IP traffic.
The PremierWave XC contains two network interfaces. The Ethernet interface is also called
Network 1 or eth0, and the Cellular interface is called Network 2 or wwan0.
Notes:
Some settings require a reboot to take effect. These settings are noted below.
The blue text in the XML command strings of this chapter are to be replaced with a user-
specified name.
Network 1 Interface Settings
Table 6-1 shows the network interface settings for Ethernet that can be configured. These
settings apply to the Ethernet (eth0) only.

Description
PremierWave XC will attempt to obtain IP settings from a BOOTP server.
Note: Overrides the configured IP address/mask, gateway, hostname, and
domain. When DHCP is Enable, the system automatically uses DHCP,
regardless of whether BOOTP is Enable. Changing this value requires you to
reboot the device.
PremierWave XC will attempt to obtain IP settings from a DHCP server and will
periodically renew these settings with the server.
Note: Overrides BOOTP, the configured IP address/mask, gateway, hostname,
and domain. Changing this value requires you to reboot the device.
Note: Within WebManager, click Renew to renew the DHCP lease.

Note: This setting will be used if Static IP is active (both DHCP and BOOTP are
Disable). Changing this value requires you to reboot the de vice. When DHCP
or BOOTP is enabled, the PremierWave XC tries to obtain an IP address from a
DHCP or BOOTP server. If it cannot, the PremierWave XC generates and uses
an Auto IP address in the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx, with a network mask of
255.255.0.0.
PremierWave XC User Guide 35
Default Gateway Enter the IP address of the router for this network.

Accept Mode
PremierWave XC User Guide 49
In Accept Mode, the PremierWave XC listens (waits) for incoming connections from the network.
A remove node on the network initiates the connection.
The configurable local port is the port the remote device connects to for this connection. There is
no remote port or address. The default local port is 10001 for serial line 1 and 10002 for serial
line 2.
Serial data can still be received while waiting for a network connection, keeping in mind serial
data buffer limitations.

Connect Mode
In Connect Mode, the PremierWave XC continues to attempt an outgoing connection on the
network, until established. If the connection attempt fails or the connection drops, then it retries
after a timeout. The remote node on the network must listen for the Connect Mode’s connection.
For Connect Mode to function, it must be enabled, have a remote station (node) configured, and
a remote port configured (TCP or UDP). When established, Connect Mode is always on. Enter
the remote station as an IP address or DNS name. The

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol for managing the security of data transmission over the
Internet. It provides encryption, authentication, and message integrity services. SSL is widely
used for secure communication to a web server, and also for wireless authentication.
Certificate/Private key combinations can be obtained from an external Certificate Authority (CA)
and uploaded into the unit. Self-signed certificates with associated private key can be generated
by the device server itself.
For more information regarding certificates and how to obtain them, see the chapter, Security in
Detail on page 96..
Note: The blue text in the XML command strings of this chapter are to be replaced with

14: Security in Detail
Public Key Infrastructure
Public key infrastructure (PKI) is based on an encryption technique that uses two keys: a public
key and private key. Public keys can be used to encrypt messages which can only be decrypted
using the private key. This technique is referred to as asymmetric encryption, as opposed to
symmetric encryption, in which a single secret key is used by both parties.
TLS (SSL)
Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), use
asymmetric encryption for authentication. In some scenarios, only a server needs to be
authenticated, in others both client and server authenticate each other. Once authentication is
established, clients and servers use asymmetric encryption to exchange a secret key.
Communication then proceeds with symmetric encryption, using this key.
SSH and some wireless authentication methods on the PremierWave XC make use of SSL. The
PremierWave XC supports SSLv2, SSlv3, and TLS1.0.
TLS/SSL application hosts use separate digital certificates as a basis for authentication in both
directions: to prove their own identity to the other party, and to verify the identity of the other
party. In proving its own authenticity, the PremierWave XC will use its own "personal" certificate.
In verifying the authenticity of the other party, the PremierWave XC will use a "trusted authority"
certificate.
In short:
When using EAP-TLS, the PremierWave XC needs a personal certificate with matching
private key to identify itself and sign its messages.
When using EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS or PEAP, the PremierWave XC needs the authority
certificate(s) that can authenticate those it wishes to communicate with.
Digital Certificates
The goal of a certificate is to authenticate its sender. It is analogous to a paper document that
contains personal identification information and is signed by an authority, for example a notary or
government agency. With digital certificates, a cryptographic key is used to create a unique digital
signature.
Trusted Authorities
A private key is used by a trusted certificate authority (CA) to create a unique digital signature.
Along with this private key is a certificate of authority, containing a matching public key that can
be used to verify the authority's signature but not re-create it.
A chain of signed certificates, anchored by a root CA, can be used to establish a sender's
authenticity. Each link in the chain is certified by a signed certificate from the previous link, with

the exception of the root CA. This way, trust is transferred along the chain, from the root CA
through any number of intermediate authorities, ultimately to the agent that needs to prove its
authenticity.
Obtaining Certificates
Signed certificates are typically obtained from well-known CAs, such as VeriSign. This is done by
submitting a certificate request for a CA, typically for a fee. The CA will sign the certificate
request, producing a certificate/key combo: the certificate contains the identity of the owner and
the public key, and the private key is available separately for use by the owner.
As an alternative to acquiring a signed certificate from a CA, you can act as your own CA and
create self-signed certificates. This is often done for testing scenarios, and sometimes for closed
environments where the expense of a CA-signed root certificate is not necessary.
Self-Signed Certificates
A few utilities exist to generate self-signed certificates or sign certificate requests. The
PremierWave XC also has the ability to generate its own self-signed certificate/key combo. You
can use XML to export the certificate in PEM format, but you cannot export the key. Hence the
internal certificate generator can only be used for certificates that are to identify that particular
PremierWave XC.
Certificate Formats
Certificates and private keys can be stored in several file formats. Best known are PKCS12, DER
and PEM. Certificate and key can be in the same file or in separate files. Additionally, the key can
be either be encrypted with a password or left in the clear. However, the PremierWave XC
currently only accepts separate PEM files, with the key unencrypted.
Several utilities exist to convert between the formats.
OpenSSL
OpenSSL is a widely used open source set of SSL related command line utilities. It can act as
server or client. It can also generate or sign certificate requests, and can convert from and to
several different of formats.
OpenSSL is available in binary form for Linux and Windows.
To generate a self-signed RSA certificate/key combo:
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout mp_key.pem
-out mp_cert.pem
See www.openssl.org or www.madboa.com/geek/openssl
Note: Signing other certificate requests is also possible with OpenSSL b ut t he details of
this process are outside the scope of this document.

Steel Belted RADIUS
Steel Belted RADIUS is a commercial RADIUS server from Juniper Networks that provides a GUI
administration interface. It also provides a certificate request and self-signed certificate generator.
The self-signed certificate has extension .sbrpvk and is in the PKCS12 format. OpenSSL can
convert this into a PEM format certificate and key:
openssl pkcs12 -in sbr_certkey.sbrpvk -nodes -out sbr_certkey.pem
The sbr_certkey.pem file contains both certificate and key. If loading the SBR certificate into
PremierWave XC as an authority, you will need to edit it:
1. Open the file in any plain text editor.
2. Delete all info before "----- BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" and after "----- END
CERTIFICATE-----", and then save as sbr_cert.pem.
SBR accepts trusted-root certificates in the DER format. Again, OpenSSL can convert any format
into DER:
openssl x509 -inform pem -in mp_cert.pem -outform der -out mp_cert.der
Note: With SBR, when the identity information includes special characters such as
dashes and periods, SBR changes the format it use s to st ore these strings and becomes
incompatible with the current PremierWave XC release. Support may be added for this
and other formats in future relea ses.
Free RADIUS
Free RADIUS is another versatile Linux open-source RADIUS server.

16: VIP Settings
Virtual IP (VIP) Configuration
Configuring Connect Mode tunnels to use VIP is a simple matter of configuring a tunnel as is
normally done, but also enabling VIP in the Tunnel Host settings, and using a VIP Name for the
address.
VIP Accept Mode tunnels do not require special configuration. If VIP access is enabled (in VIP
configuration), then VIP Accept Mode requests from a ManageLinx device will be accepted.
VIP Settings Description
Table 16-1 VIP Configuration
