Software Features
The xPico 200 embedded gateway software stack provides essential IoT connectivity
infrastructure for building secure connected products. Device manufacturers can offload this
complexity from their application microcontroller when interfacing with the module in Network Co-processor Mode or use the module standalone in Wireless Microcontroller Mode
(Hostless).
Network Co-Processor Mode
The module completely offloads all Wi-Fi and secure network connectivity requirements for
attached microcontrollers thereby reducing device firmware complexity while accelerating
OEM’s time to introduce and support secure connected products in the market. The host
interfaces available for connecting to the microcontroller are UART, USB, SPI Slave, and
Ethernet.

Wireless Microcontroller Mode
In addition, the xPico 200 series also can be used as a wireless microcontroller in standalone
mode. With the provided SDK, device manufacturers can leverage not only network and
wireless stacks, but also the complete application framework that includes the configuration
management system, reliable remote OTA firmware upgrades and automated connection
management features described below.
Figure 2-5 Wireless Microcontroller Mode
xPico® 200 Series Embedded Wi-Fi® Gateway Data Sheet 11
TruPort Serial
TruPort Serial, a robust serial to Wi-Fi and serial to Ethernet application that supports the
transparent transport of hundreds of serial protocols over the network. TruPort Serial is very
suitable for use in network co-processor mode based applications requiring very little to no
programming and development effort.
Key capabilities included are:
♦ Support RS232 serial and USB (CDC Serial and CDC ACM device classes)
♦ Advanced connectivity modes and configuration knobs to tune the connection
parameters for a specific protocol without requiring custom software programming
♦ Automatic and Manual connect modes
♦ Inbound (Accept Mode) and Outbound (Connect Mode) connections
♦ Modem Emulation Mode enables connecting to different servers using a standard AT
command set
♦ AES (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit) Encrypted session and TLS session modes for secure
tunneling
TruPort Socket
Connect your device microcontroller to multiple services and communicate directly with mobile
devices and cloud services at the same time via TruPort Socket. The simple API for TruPort
Socket is available via the UART, SPI Slave, or USB interface operating in CDC ACM mode.
Seamlessly switch between Data Mode and Module Management Mode (CLI access) for total
control and data channel access from your device host microcontroller.
Access TCP, UDP, TLS, HTTP, SMTP channels and communicate with external services
through these channels without implementing these protocol stacks within your microcontroller.
Ethernet to Wi-Fi Bridge
For devices with microcontrollers that include a network stack and also have Ethernet
connectivity available, the gateway module software provides wireless connectivity to these
devices via the Ethernet to Wi-Fi Bridge mode. Ethernet connected host devices can be
accessed remotely via the Wi-Fi Client interface or via the Wi-Fi Soft AP interface. In this
mode, the Wi-Fi stack is fully offloaded and managed via the configuration interface. This
mode is most suitable for networked microcontrollers that do not have the resources to
integrate wireless device drivers and add-on the complexity of managing the wireless stack.
Concurrent Soft AP and Client Mode
In addition to supporting the standard Soft AP only mode, Client only mode, xPico 200 series
also supports concurrent Soft AP and Client mode.
In this mode, clients can create a direct connection to the Soft AP interface of the gateway,
while the Client interface is connected to the Enterprise Wi-Fi network.
This enables OEM service and support teams to setup a direct connection to their machines to
diagnose, troubleshoot and service them via mobile devices without requiring access to the
customer's Wi-Fi network.
xPico® 200 Series Embedded Wi-Fi® Gateway Data Sheet 12
Enterprise Wi-Fi Security (802.11i, 802.1X/EAP)
Centralized control of security policies and ability to permit and revoke access rights and
scaling to support the large number of devices deployed within the enterprise are primary
considerations that Enterprise Wi-Fi Security addresses. With support for 802.1X, 802.11i and
EAP authentication methods along with support PKI support and X.509 certificate
management, connectivity to the enterprise network is handled via configuration and without
any integration, testing and certification of supplicant and authenticator software.
InfiniShield Security
Device manufacturers are exposed to new security risks that emerge with having connected
products. They also have to navigate the engineering complexity of providing integrated security
within their connected devices. Lantronix InfiniShield Security provides an integrated device
security framework that lets device manufacturers build this into their connected products from
the start of their design cycle instead of as an after-thought or bolted on component.
InfiniShield Security enables building secure connected products quickly and easily with a full
range of features including:
♦ Secure Boot – run only signed software on device
♦ Secure Firmware Over the Air (FOTA) – accept signed firmware and reliable over the
air updates
♦ Secure Connectivity – enterprise Wi-Fi security, data-in-motion authentication and
encryption
♦ Encrypted Storage – stored configuration and device data securely
♦ Fine Grained Port Access Control – prevent back-doors with fine grained control over
network ports
♦ Root of Trust and Device Identity – certificate management, secure key storage, OEM
keys
Wi-Fi Connection Profiles
Connect to multiple wireless networks autonomously by configuring the network parameters
once and then letting the module automatically select the best network to connect to or set
policies for connecting to specific networks. Wi-Fi connection profiles eliminate the need to
manage the state of connection management from the device microcontroller or writing this via
the SDK in wireless microcontroller mode.
Configuration and Management Interface
Access the module configuration and management engine via the microcontroller or via the
network. Command Line Interface (CLI) mode offers a text based interactive interface versus
writing an elaborate driver interface for the AT command and control interface on the device
microcontroller. XML provides a programmatic interface to the module configuration and status
that is accessible via the available host interfaces or over the network interface. Web API offer
the ability to program the module configuration via the Over-The-Air (OTA) or Network
interface. For more details on the usage of these management interfaces, refer to the xPico 240/250 Embedded Wi-Fi Gateway User Guide available at
https://www.lantronix.com/products/xpico-200/
for more details.
xPico® 200 Series Embedded Wi-Fi® Gateway Data Sheet 13
Reliable Firmware Over-The-Air (FOTA) Updates
As device requirements evolve and new product features are provided, device manufacturers
can leverage the reliable OTA firmware upgrade capabilities to prevent “system bricks.” OTA
firmware upgrade always ensures there is at-least one known version of firmware available in
the event an upgrade operation does not succeed. It operates over the connected network and
does not require placing the module into specific operational modes into order to trigger the
update. Updates can be performed remotely and securely using the included Secure Boot
features.
Power Management
xPico 200 series gateways support IEEE 802.11 power save modes for radio power
management. The gateways also includes application aware power management framework
that enables battery powered operation.
Pre-integration with MACH10 Platform
Quickly deliver secure and robust web-scale device management and monitoring for your
connected products with MACH10 Global Device Manager.
Pre-integrated support within xPico 200 series gateways enables your connected products and
the gateway to be managed across the product lifecycle from deployment to decommissioning.
