MatchPort b/g is a wireless embedded device server that provides a network-
enabling solution based on the IEEE 802.11b/g wireless standard. MatchPort allows
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to add wireless connectivity to their
products by incorporating it onto a circuit board.
The MatchPort functions independently of a PC, providing a fully integrated solution
that combines a processor, memory, 802.11b/g transceiver
,
and
921 Kbps
(maximum) baud rate serial ports into a single compact module. It includes an
operating system, an embedded web server, and a full TCP/IP protocol stack. In
addition, the MatchPort sends email alerts and supports numerous other network
communication protocols, including ARP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, Telnet, AutoIP, DHCP,
HTTP, SNMP, and SMTP. The unit provides an Ethernet connection as well.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), Wireless Protected Access (WPA), and
802.11i/WPA2-Personal are available to guarantee the security of the wireless
communication. WEP uses an RC4 encryption algorithm with a configured 64-bit or
104-bit key to scramble the data. WPA uses TKIP, which expands upon WEP by
changing the key automatically every session, detecting intrusion and using improved
authentication.
For OEMs who wish to customize the user interface by employing common and
familiar tools, the MatchPort serves applets to a web browser, resulting in interactive
web pages. This customization of HTML web pages and configuration screens tailors
the MatchPort to fit unique requirements.
Lantronix's exclusive SmartRoam technology takes a proactive approach
to transferring connectivity from one AP (AP) to another AP belonging to the same
ESS (having the same SSID or Network Name). SmartRoam continuously tracks the
signal strength of APs within range to smoothly and automatically transition to an AP
with a stronger signal.
Two models of the MatchPort b/g are available: one with AES encryption and one
without.
