EDS-MD® Wired IoT Device Gateway Command Reference
9
2: Overview
The EDS-MD 4, EDS-MD 8 and EDS-MD 16 wired IoT device gateways support three convenient
configuration methods: Web Manager, Command Line Interface (CLI) and Extensible Markup
Language (XML). For more information about the Web Manager, see the
EDS-MD Wired IoT
Device Gateway User Guide
on the Lantronix website.
XML Architecture and Device Control
XML is a fundamental building block for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT)
networks. The EDS-MD 4/8/16 wired IoT device gateway supports XML configuration records that
make configuring the wired IoT device gateway easy for users and administrators. XML
configuration records are easy to edit with a standard text editor or an XML editor.
For a brief overview of XML, see
Chapter 4: Configuration Using XML
. It provides rules on basic
XML syntax, a guide to the specific XML tags used, and a guide to using XML configuration
records.
Command Line Interface
The EDS-MD 4/8/16 wired IoT device gateway uses industry-standard tools for configuration,
communication, and control. For example, the EDS-MD 4/8/16 wired IoT device gateway uses a
command line interface (CLI) whose syntax is very similar to that used by data center equipment
such as routers and hubs.
Chapter 5: Commands and Levels
. It provides an index of the CLI
Command Hierarchy with links to the corresponding command details. The CLI provides
commands for configuring, monitoring, and controlling the wired IoT device gateway.
