WiPort™ Data Sheet
General Description
The WiPort is the most compact, integrated solution
available to add 802.11b wireless networking to any
edge device with a serial interface. Using our highly
integrated hardware and software platform, you will add
to your bottom line by significantly reducing product
development time, risk, and cost.
The WiPort offers the highest level of integration
available in a device server. Within a compact package
is a DSTni x86 controller, memory, 802.11b transceiver, a
10/100 Ethernet transceiver, and dual high-speed serial
ports. All of this combines to give you a complete
networking solution. The WiPort is the first product in a
line of embedded wireless device servers, designed
with flexibility to support additional wireless standards
without requiring redesign.
To enable access to a local network or the Internet, the
WiPort integrates a fully developed TCP/IP network
stack and OS. The WiPort also includes an embedded
web server that can be used to remotely configure,
monitor, or troubleshoot the attached device.
WiPort serves web pages to a web browser when there
is a need to gather information or communicate with
networked devices. The WiPort becomes a conduit
between you and your device over the network or
Internet.
The Windows™-based configuration software, Device
Installer, simplifies installation and setup. The WiPort
can also be configured locally through its serial port, or
remotely over a network using Telnet (password-
protected) or a web browser. Flash memory provides
for maintenance-free, nonvolatile storage of web
pages, and allows future system software upgrades.

Hardware & Software Description
The WiPort functions independently of a PC, providing
a complete hardware and software solution for adding
wireless connectivity to your edge devices. Within a
single package this powerful device server comes with
an 802.11b wireless connection, a 10/100 Ethernet
transceiver, a reliable and proven operating system
stored in flash memory, an embedded web server, a full
TCP/IP protocol stack, and WEP security.
The WiPort software runs on a Lantronix DSTni
controller which has 256 KB of internal SRAM, and 16
KB of boot ROM. The WiPort communicates to the
edge device through a 3.3V logic level interface. 2 MB
of flash memory is included for storing firmware and
web pages.
A larger memory option is available that includes 4 MB
of flash memory, and an additional 1 MB of SRAM. The
WiPort runs on a single 3.3V supply, and has a built-in
voltage supervisory circuit.
The WiPort will connect through a coaxial cable “pigtail”
to a panel-mounted external antenna, which makes the
electro-mechanical integration very simple.

Protocol Support
The WiPort uses the widely accepted 802.11b protocol
to connect to a wireless access point or ad-hoc
network. It uses the Transmission Control Protocol
(TCP) to assure that no data is lost or duplicated and
that everything sent to the connection arrives correctly
at the target.
Other supported protocols are listed below:
• ARP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, Telnet, TFTP, AutoIP,
DHCP, HTTP, and SNMP for network
communications.
• TCP, UDP, and Telnet for connections to the serial
port.
• TFTP for firmware updates.
• IP for addressing, routing, and data block handling
over the network.
• User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for typical datagram
applications in which devices interact with other
devices without maintaining a point-to-point
connection.
