2: Introduction
The PremierWave™ XC is a unique, hybrid Ethernet and GSM/GPRS terminal/multiport device
server which allows remote access to and management of virtually any IT/networking equipment
or device connected via Ethernet or GPRS through ‘Serial-tunneling’. Applications include
medical equipment, POS terminals or security equipment.
Key Features
Power Supply: Regulated 9 - 30 Vdc input required. There is a step-down converter to 1.5
volts for the processor core. All voltages have LC filtering to minimize noises and emissions.
Controller: A Lantronix DSTni-FX 32-bit microprocessor, running at 166 MHz internal bus and
83 MHz external bus.
Memory: 16 MB Flash and 8 MB SDRAM.
Ethernet: 10/100 Mbps Ethernet transceiver.
Power: Redundant Hot Failover Power Supply via Power 1 and Power 2.
Serial Ports: Two RS232/422/485 high-speed serial ports with all hardware handshaking
signals.Baud rate is software selectable (300 bps to 921600 bps). Both serial interfaces
support RS-485 termination resistors which can be software enabled.
Two USB 2.0 Full Speed (12 Mbps) Host ports, currently used for USB thumb drive devices
for storage.
Fail-Over (backup) Data Network Media Support for either Ethernet or Cellular GPRS.
Events can be configured to generate alerts via SMS, SNMP trap and Relay Output.
Temperature Range: Operates over an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
PremierWave XC User Guide 13
Applications
The PremierWave XC device server connects serial devices such as those listed below to
Ethernet networks using the IP protocol family.
ATM machines
CNC controllers
Data collection devices
Universal Power Supply (UPS) management unit
Telecommunications equipment
Data display devices
Security alarms and access control devices
Handheld instruments
Modems
Time/attendance clocks and terminals
Protocol Support
The PremierWave XC device server contains a full-featured IP stack. Supported protocols
include:
ARP, IP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, BOOTP, DHCP, Auto IP, Telnet, DNS, FTP, TFTP, SSH,
SSL/TLS, and Syslog for network communications and management.
TCP, UDP tunneling to the serial port.
TFTP for uploading/downloading files.
FTP and HTTP for firmware upgrades and uploading/downloading files.
Troubleshooting Capabilities
The PremierWave XC 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, MIB-II, buffer pool, IP socket information and Routing Table.
Perform ping and traceroute operations.
Conduct forward or reverse DNS lookup operations.
View all processes currently running on the PremierWave XC, including CPU utilization.
View system log messages.
PremierWave XC User Guide 14
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)
UDP Port 161: SNMP

TCP Port 21: FTP
UDP Port 69: TFTP
UDP Port 30718: LDP (Lantronix Discovery Protocol) port
TCP/UDP Port 10001: Tunnel 1
TCP/UDP Port 10002: Tunnel 2

Installing The PremierWave XC
Be sure to place or mount the device securely on a flat horizontal or vertical surface. The device
comes with mounting brackets for mounting the device vertically, for example on a wall. If using
AC power, avoid outlets controlled by a wall switch.
Observe the following guidelines when connecting the serial devices:
The PremierWave XC serial ports support RS-232/422/485
The null modem cable is the best cable to connect the serial port to another DTE device. The
straight-though (modem) cable is the best 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 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 which are numbered in Figure 3-10 also.
1. Connect serial devices to the serial port of the unit.
PremierWave XC User Guide 23
2. Connect a RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the unit and your Ethernet network.
3. Remove SIM compartment door, secured by two screws. Open SIM slot fastener (sliding
top fastener towards Power connector) and Insert the SIM Card in SIM slot (with contacts
facing toward main board). Close and lock SIM slot fastener (sliding top fastener away
from Power connector). Secure SIM compartment door accordingly and secure with
screws provided. Connect the Antenna to the SMA connector on the side. Do note that
the Safe Distance due to RF exposure from Antenna is 23cm. (Please refer to Figure 3-
11 for SIM card insertion)
4. Plug the PremierWave XC into the power outlet by using the power supply that was
included in the packaging.
5. Power up Serial Devices.
