XML Settings
An EDS1100/2100 device server allows for the configuration of devices by using XML
configuration records (XCRs). You can export an existing configuration for use on other EDS1100/
2100 devices or import a saved configuration file.
On the XML: Export Configuration web page, you can export the current system configuration in
XML format. The generated XML file can be imported later to restore a configuration. It can also be
modified and imported to update the configuration on this EDS1100/2100 unit or another. The
XML data can be exported to the browser window or to a file on the file system.
By default, all groups are selected except those pertaining to the network configuration. This is so
that if you later import the entire XML configuration, it will not break your network connectivity. You
may select or clear the checkbox for any group.
In the XML: Import System Configuration Page you can import a system configuration from an
XML file. The XML data can be imported from a file on the file system or uploaded using HTTP.
The groups to import can be specified by toggling the respective group item or entering a filter
string. When toggling a group item, all instances of that group will be imported. The filter string can
be used to import specific instances of a group. The text format of this string is:
<g>:<i>;<g>:<i>;...
For example, if you only wanted to import the line 1 setting from an XCR, use a filter string of
line:1.
Each group name <g> is followed by a colon and the instance value <i>. Each <g> :<i> value is
separated with a semicolon. If a group has no instance, specify the group name <g> only.
Note:
The number of lines available for importing and exporting differ between Lantronix
products. The screenshots in this chapter represent one line, as available, for example,
on an XPort Pro embedded networking module and EDS1100. However, other device
networking products (such as EDS2100, EDS4100, XPort AR, MatchPort AR embedded
networking modules, EDS8/16PS and EDS8/16/32PR) support additional lines.
