lines.
Web-Based Configuration and Troubleshooting
Built upon Internet-based standards, the MatchPort b/g Pro enables you to configure, manage,
and troubleshoot through a browser-based interface accessible anytime from anywhere. All
configuration and troubleshooting options are launched from a web interface. You can access all
functions via a Web browser, for remote access. As a result, you decrease downtime (using the
troubleshooting tools) and implement configuration changes (using the configuration tools).
Command-Line Interface (CLI)
Making the edge-to-enterprise vision a reality, the MatchPort b/g Pro with the Evolution OS uses
industry-standard tools for configuration, communication, and control. For example, the Evolution
OS uses a Command Line Interface (CLI) whose syntax is very similar to that used by data center
equipment such as routers and hubs.
SNMP Management
The MatchPort b/g Pro supports full SNMP management, making it ideal for applications where
device management and monitoring are critical. These features allow networks with SNMP
capabilities to correctly diagnose and monitor MatchPort b/g Pro device servers.
XML-Based Architecture and Device Control
XML is a fundamental building block for the future growth of M2M networks. The MatchPort b/g
Pro supports XML-based configuration setup records that make device configuration transparent
to users and administrators. The XML is easily editable with a standard text or XML editor.
Really Simple Syndication (RSS)
The MatchPort b/g Pro supports Really Simple Syndication (RSS) for streaming and managing on-
line content. RSS feeds all the configuration changes that occur on the device. An RSS aggregator
then reads (polls) the feed. More powerful than simple email alerts, RSS uses XML as an
underlying Web page transport and adds intelligence to the networked device, while not taxing
already overloaded email systems.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Evolution OS provides the MatchPort b/g Pro the highest level of networking security possible.
This data center grade protection ensures that each device on the M2M network carries the same
level of security as traditional IT networking equipment in the corporate data center.
With built-in SSH and SSL, secure communications can be established between the serial ports
and the remote end device or application. By protecting the privacy of serial data transmitted
across public networks, users can maintain their existing investment in serial technology, while
taking advantage of the highest data-protection levels possible.
SSH and SSL are able to do the following:
2: Introduction
Verify the data received came from the proper source
Validate that the data transferred from the source over the network has not changed when it
arrives at its destination (shared secret and hashing)
Encrypt data to protect it from prying eyes and nefarious individuals
Provide the ability to run popular M2M protocols over a secure SSH or SSL connection
In addition to keeping data safe and accessible, the MatchPort b/g Pro has robust defenses to
hostile Internet attacks such as denial of service (DoS), which can be used to take down the
network. Moreover, the MatchPort b/g Pro cannot be used to bring down other devices on the
network.
You can use the MatchPort b/g Pro with the Lantronix Secure Com Port Redirector (SCPR) to
encrypt COM port-based communications between PCs and virtually any electronic device. SCPR
is a Windows application that creates a secure communications path over a network between the
computer and serial-based devices that are traditionally controlled via a COM port. With SCPR
installed at each computer, computers that were formerly hard-wired by serial cabling for security
purposes or to accommodate applications that only understood serial data can instead
communicate over an Ethernet network or the Internet.
Terminal Server/Device Management
Remote offices can have routers, PBXs, servers and other networking equipment that require
remote management from the corporate facility. The MatchPort b/g Pro easily attaches to the
serial ports on a server, Private Branch Exchange (PBX), or other networking equipment to deliver
central, remote monitoring and management capability.
With the menu system on the MatchPort, connections to the console ports of the attached devices
as well as network hosts, such as Unix servers or another MatchPort, can easily be picked from a
user-defined menu. This allows console ports across multiple devices to be accessed from one
MatchPort.
Troubleshooting Capabilities
The MatchPort b/g Pro offers a comprehensive diagnostic toolset that lets you troubleshoot
problems quickly and easily. Available from the Web Manager, CLI, and XML interfaces, the
diagnostic tools let you:
View critical hardware, memory, MIB-II, buffer pool, and IP socket information.
Perform ping and traceroute operations.
Conduct forward or backup DNS lookup operations.
View all processes currently running on the MatchPort b/g Pro, including CPU utilization and
total stack space available.
Configuration Methods
After installation, the MatchPort b/g Pro requires configuration. For the unit to operate correctly on
a network, it must have a unique IP address on the network. There are four basic methods for
logging into the MatchPort b/g Pro and assigning IP addresses and other configurable settings:
DeviceInstaller: Configure the IP address and related settings and view current settings on the
using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network. See Chapter 3: Using
DeviceInstaller.
2: Introduction
Web Manager: Through a web browser, configure the MatchPort b/g Pro settings using the
Lantronix Web Manager. See Configuration Using Web Manager (on page 23).
Command Mode: There are two methods for accessing Command Mode (CLI): making a Telnet
connection or connecting a terminal (or a PC running a terminal emulation program) to the units
serial port. (See the MatchPort b/g Pro Embedded Device Server Command Reference for
instructions and available commands.)
XML: The MatchPort b/g Pro supports XML-based configuration and setup records that make
device configuration transparent to users and administrators. XML is easily editable with a
standard text or XML editor. (See the MatchPort b/g Pro Embedded Device Server Command
Reference for instructions and commands.)
Addresses and Port Numbers
Hardware Address
The hardware address is also referred to as the Ethernet address or MAC address. The first three
bytes of the Ethernet address are fixed and read 00-20-4A, identifying the unit as a Lantronix
product. The fourth, fifth, and sixth bytes are unique numbers assigned to each unit.
Figure 2-1 Sample Hardware Address
00-20-4A-14-01-18 or 00:20:4A:14:01:18
IP Address
Every device connected to an IP network must have a unique IP address. This address references
the specific unit.
Port Numbers
Every TCP connection and every UDP datagram is defined by a destination and source IP
address, and a destination and source port number. For example, a Telnet server commonly uses
port number 23.
The following is a list of the default server port numbers running on the MatchPort b/g Pro:
- TCP Port 22: SSH Server (Command Mode configuration)
- TCP Port 23: Telnet Server (Command Mode configuration)
- TCP Port 80: HTTP (Web Manager configuration)
- TCP Port 443: HTTPS (Web Manager configuration)
- UDP Port 161: SNMP
- TCP Port 21: FTP
- UDP Port 69: TFTP
- UDP Port 30718: LDP (Lantronix Discovery Protocol) port
- TCP/UDP Port 10001: Tunnel 1
- TCP/UDP Port 10002: Tunnel 2
2: Introduction
Note: Multi-port products include one or more additional supported ports and tunnels
with default sequential numbering. For instance: TCP/UDP Port 10002: Tunnel 2, TCP/
UDP Port 10003: Tunnel 3, etc.

Roaming will allow automatic association with a different Access Point (AP)
possessing the same Network Name, if its signal strength is sufficiently stronger
than the current AP association. A stronger signal is one which is 20 dBm greater
than the current signal strength, if the current signal strength is equal to or greater
than -40 dBm. A stronger signal need only be 10 dBm greater if the current signal
strength is less than -40 dBm.
If 802.11f (IEEE standard for AP interoperability) is supported by both the old AP
and newly associated AP to which roaming has occurred, a short delay will occur
as the routing table of each AP is updated. If, however, 802.11f is not supported
the delay will be longer and may result in the termination of any active TCP/IP
connections.

WEP Settings
WEP security is available in both Infrastructure and AdHoc modes. WEP is a simple and efficient
security mode encrypting the data via the RC4 algorithm. However, WEP has become more
vulnerable due to advances in hacking technology. State of the art equipment can find WEP keys
in five minutes. For stronger security, please use WPA, or better, WPA2 with AES (CCMP).
Figure 5-18 WLAN Profile Security -- WEP Settings
TX Power Select the type of radio power control.
Fixed =keeps the transmission output power at the configured maximum.
Adaptation =allows the MatchPort to reduce the output power
automatically when closer to the Access Point or peer client. This reduces
power consumption and allows a higher density of clients in a given area.
TX Retries Number of times the MatchPort will attempt to transmit data before the packet
is deemed lost.
Note: A value of 1 means 1 try with 0 retries.
Power Management Power management reduces the overall power consumption of the MatchPort
unit, but can increase latency.
Enabled =allows the MatchPort to turn off the receiver when it is idling.
Disabled =keeps the receiver on at all times.
Power Management

WPA and WPA2/IEEE802.11i Settings
WPA and WPA2/IEEE802.11i security suites are available for Infrastructure mode only. Since
the configuration options are the same for both, they are described in one chapter. The settings
that display depend on which Authentication method is selected, as shown in the figures below.
WPA is a security standard specified by the WiFi Alliance and is a close derivative of an early draft
of the IEEE802.11i specification. WEP was becoming vulnerable and finalizing the IEEE802.11i
standard was still far away. WPA2 is WiFis subset of the broad IEEE802.11i standard to enforce
better interoperability. The MatchPort b/g Pro is compliant with both WPA2 and IEEE802.11i.

Description
Authentication Select an authentication scheme from the drop-down list.
Shared =encryption keys of both parties are compared as a form of
authentication. If mismatched, no connection is established.
Open =a connection is established without first checking for matching
encryption keys. However, mismatched keys will result in garbled data and
thus a lack of connectivity on the IP level.
Key Type Select the format of the security key.
Passphrase = A text of up to 63 characters converted to 4 encryption keys.
Hex = 4 individually entered encryption keys consisting of hexadecimal
digits.

Description
Authentication Select an authentication scheme.
PSK =Pre-Shared Key. The same key needs to be configured on both sides of the
connection. (On the MatchPort b/g Pro and on the Access Point.)
IEEE 802.1X =This authentication method communicates with a Radius
authentication server that is part of the network. The Radius server will match the
credentials sent by the MatchPort b/g Pro with an internal database.
Key Type Select the format of the security key.
Passphrase
Hex
Note: This field only appears if authentication is PSK.
Key 64 hexadecimal digits.
Note: This field only appears if Key Type is Hex.
Passphrase The passphrase consists of text of up to 63 characters and is hashed into a 32 byte
encryption key using a repeated SHA1 algorithm.
Note: Lantronix recommends using a passphrase of 20 characters or more for
maximum security. Spaces and punctuation characters are permitted. The passphrase
input is not the same as ASCII input (as used on some products). ASCII is translated
directly into hexadecimal bytes according to the ASCII table, while a possibly larger
passphrase is hashed into a key and provides better security through a larger range of
key values. This field only appears if Key Type is Passphrase.
IEEE 802.1X From the drop-down list, select the protocol to use to authenticate the WLAN client.
LEAP =Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol.
A derivative of the original Cisco LEAP, which was a predecessor of 802.1X. Real
Cisco LEAP uses a special MAC layer authentication (called Network EAP) and
cannot work with WPA/WPA2. The MatchPort b/g Pro uses a more generic version to
be compatible with other major brand WiFi equipment. The authentication backend is
the same.
EAP-TLS = Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security.
Uses the latest incarnation of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) standard and is the
most secure because it requires authentication certificates on both the network side
and the MatchPort b/g Pro side.
EAP-TTLS = Extensible Authentication Protocol - Tunneled Transport Layer Security.
PEAP =Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol.
EAP-TTLS and PEAP have been developed to avoid the requirement of certificates
on the client side (MatchPort b/g Pro), which makes deployment more cumbersome.
Both make use of EAP-TLS to authenticate the server (network) side and establish
an encrypted tunnel. This is called the outer-authentication. Then a conventional
authentication method (MD5, MSCHAP, etc.) is used through the tunnel to
authenticate the MatchPort b/g Pro. This is called inner authentication.
EAP-TTLS and PEAP have been developed by different consortia and vary in details,
of which the most visible is the supported list of inner authentications.
Note: When using EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS or PEAP authority, at least one authority
certificate will have to be installed in the SSL configuration that is able to verify the
Radius servers certificate. In case of EAP-TLS, also a certificate and matching private
key need to be configured to authenticate the MatchPort b/g Pro to the Radius server.
This field only appears if authentication is IEEE802.1X. For more information about SSL
certificates see SSL Settings on page 105.

Tunnel Settings
Note: The number of lines and tunnels available for viewing and configuration differ
between Lantronix products. For example, an XPort Pro and EDS1100 support only one
line while other device networking products (such as , EDS2100, EDS4100, MatchPort b/g
Pro, XPort AR, EDS8/16PS and EDS8/16/32PR) provide additional lines and tunnels.
Tunneling allows serial devices to communicate over a network, without being aware of the
devices which establish the network connection between them.Tunneling parameters are
configured using the Web Manager or Command Mode Tunnel Menu. See Configuration Using
Web Manager (on page 23) or the MatchPort b/g Pro Command Reference for the full list of
commands.
The MatchPort b/g Pro supports two tunneling connections simultaneously per serial port. One of
these connections is Connect Mode; the other connection is Accept Mode. The connections on
one serial port are separate from those on another serial port.
Connect Mode: the MatchPort b/g Pro actively makes a connection. The receiving node on
the network must listen for the Connect Modes connection. Connect Mode is disabled by
default.
Accept Mode: the MatchPort b/g Pro listens for a connection. A node on the network initiates
the connection. Accept Mode is enabled by default.
Disconnect Mode: this mode defines how an open connection stops the forwarding of data.
The specific parameters to stop the connection are configurable. Once the MatchPort b/g Pro
Disconnect Mode observes the defined event occur, it will disconnect both Accept Mode and
Connect Mode connections on that port.
Serial String Enter the serial string characters. Select a string type.
Text =string of bytes that must be read on the Serial Line during boot time to
enable Command Mode. It may contain a time element in x milliseconds, in
the format {x}, to specify a required delay.
Binary =string of characters representing byte values where each
hexadecimal byte value starts with \0x and each decimal byte value starts
with \.
Echo Serial String Select Yes to enable echoing of the serial string at boot-up.
CP Group Enter the name and decimal value of the CP Group. When the value matches
the current value of the group, Command Mode is enabled on the Serial Line.
Signon Message Enter the boot-up signon message. Select a string type.
Text =string of bytes sent on the serial line during boot time.
Binary =one or more byte values separated by commas. Each byte value
may be decimal or hexadecimal. Start hexadecimal values with 0x.
Note: This string will be output on the serial port at boot, regardless of whether
command mode is enabled or not.

Tunnel Packing Mode
Packing Mode takes data from the serial port, packs it together, and sends it over the network.
Packing can be configured based on threshold (size in bytes, timeout (milliseconds), or a single
character.
Size is set by modifying the threshold field. When the number of bytes reaches the threshold, a
packet is sent immediately.
The timeout field is used to force a packet to be sent after a maximum time. The packet is sent
even if the threshold value is not reached.
When Send Character is configured, a single printable character or control character read on the
Serial Line forces the packet to be sent immediately. There is an optional trailing character
parameter which can be specified. It can be a single printable character or a control character.
To configure the Packing Mode for a specific tunnel:
3. Select Packing Mode. The Packing Mode page for the specific tunnel appears.

5. Click Submit.
Tunnel Accept Mode
Controls how a specific tunnel number behaves when a connection attempt originates from the
network. In Accept Mode, the MatchPort b/g Pro waits for a connection from the network. The
configurable local port is the port the remote device connects to for this connection. There is no
remote port or address. The default local port is 10001 for serial port 1 and increases sequentially
for each additional serial port, if supported.
Accept Mode supports the following protocols:
- SSH (the MatchPort b/g Pro is the server in Accept Mode). When using this protocol, the
SSH server host keys and at least one SSH authorized user must be configured.
- SSL
- TCP
- AES encryption over TCP
- Telnet (The MatchPort b/g Pro supports IAC codes. It drops the IAC codes when
Telnetting and does not forward them to the serial port).

Enter the send character (single printable or control). Upon
receiving this character, the device sends out the queued data.
The data is packed until the specified send character is
encountered. Similar to a start or stop character, the device packs
the data until it sees the send character. The device then sends the
packed data and the send character in the packet. Applies only if
the Packing Mode is Send Character.
Trailing Character
(Appears for Send
Character Mode)
Enter the trailing character (single printable or control). This
character is sent immediately following the send character. This is
an optional setting. If a trailing character is defined, this character is
appended to data put on the network immediately following the
send character.
Accept Mode has the following states:
- Disabled (never a connection)
- Enabled (always listening for a connection)
- Active if it receives any character from the serial port
- Active if it receives a specific (configurable) character from the serial port (same start
character as Connect Modes start character)

established and dropped.
Connection valueSpecifies the value to set the CP Group to when a
connection is established.
Disconnection valueSpecifies the value to set the CP Group to when the
connection is closed.
Tunnel Connect Mode
Connect Mode defines how the device makes an outgoing connection through a specific tunnel.
When enabled, Connect Mode is always on and attempting a network connection if the connection
mode condition warrants it. For Connect Mode to function, it must:
Be enabled
Have a remote host configured
Have a remote port configured
Enter the remote host address as an IP address or DNS name. The MatchPort b/g Pro device will
make a connection only if it can resolve the address. For DNS names, the MatchPort b/g Pro will
re-evaluate the address after being established for 4 hours. If re-evaluation results in a different
address, it will close the connection.
Connect Mode supports the following protocols:
TCP
AES encryption over TCP and UDP
When setting AES encryption, both the encrypt key and the decrypt key must be specified.
The encrypt key is used for data sent out. The decrypt key is used for receiving data. Both of
the keys may be set to the same value.
SSH
To configure SSH, the SSH client username must be configured. In Connect Mode, the
MatchPort b/g Pro is the SSH client. Ensure the MatchPort b/g Pro SSH client username is
configured on the remote SSH server before using it with the MatchPort b/g Pro.
SSL
UDP
Is only available in Connect Mode because it is a connectionless protocol. For Connect Mode
using UDP, the MatchPort b/g Pro accepts packets from any device on the network. It will
send packets to the last device that sent it packets.
Telnet
Note: The Local Port in Connect Mode is independent of the port configured in Accept
Mode.
There are six different connect modes:
Disable
No connection is attempted.
Always
A connection is always attempted.
Any Character
A connection is attempted if it detects any
character from the serial port.
Start Character
A connection is attempted if it detects a specific and configurable character from the serial
port.
Note: While in the Any Character or Start
Character connection modes, the
MatchPort b/g Pro waits and retries the
connection if the connection cannot be
made. Once it makes a connection and then
disconnects, it will not reconnect until it sees
another character or the start character
again (depending on the configured setting).
Modem Control Asserted
A connection is attempted when the modem control pin is asserted in the serial line.
Note: Configure the Modem Control Asserted setting (for DSR or DTR) to start a
Connect Mode connection when the signal is asserted. The MatchPort b/g Pro will try
to make a connection indefinitely. If the connection closes, it will not make another
connection unless the signal is asserted again.
Modem Emulation
A connection is attempted by an ATD command.
To configure Connect Mode for a specific tunnel:
3. Select Connect Mode. The Connect Mode page for the specific tunnel appears.

5. Click Submit. The host is configured. A second host appears underneath the newly
configured host.
6. Repeat these steps to configure additional hosts as necessary. MatchPort b/g Pro supports
configuration of up to sixteen hosts.
Reconnect Timer Enter the reconnect time in milliseconds. The device attempts to reconnect after
this amount of time after failing a connection or exiting an existing connection.
This behavior depends upon the Disconnect Mode.
Note:
When you configure Tunnel - Connect Mode, you can specify a number
of milliseconds to attempt to reconnect after a dropped connection has
occurred. The default is 1500 milliseconds.
The Reconnect Timer only applies if a Disconnect Mode is configured.
With a Disconnect Mode set, the device server maintains a connection
until the disconnect mode condition is met (at which time the device server
closes the connection). If the tunnel is dropped due to conditions beyond
the device server, the device server attempts to re-establish a failed
connection when the specified reconnect interval reaches its limit.
Any network-side disconnect is considered an error and a reconnect is
attempted without regard to the Connect Mode settings. Simultaneous
Connect Mode connections require some Disconnect Mode
configurations or the connections will never terminate. See Tunnel
Disconnect Mode on page 62 for more information about the parameters.
If Disconnect Mode is disabled and the network connection is dropped,
then the re-establishment of a tunnel connection is governed by the
configured Connect Mode settings.
Flush Serial Data Select whether to flush the serial line when a connection is made. Choices are:
Enabled =flush the serial line when a connection is made.
Disabled =do not flush the serial line. (default)
Block Serial Select Enabled to block (not tunnel) serial data transmitted to the device. This
is a debugging tool that causes serial data sent to the device to be ignored.

connection is established.
Disconnection valueSpecifies the value to set the CP Group to when the
connection is closed.
Tunnel Connect Mode
Description
Connecting Multiple Hosts
If more than one host is
configured, a Host Mode option
appears. Host Mode controls
how multiple hosts will be
accessed. For MatchPort b/g
Pro, the Connect Mode
supports up to sixteen Hosts.
Hosts may be accessed
sequentially or simultaneously:
Sequential Sequential
host lists establish a
prioritized list of tunnels.
The host specified as Host
1 will be attempted first. If
that fails, it will proceed to
Host 2, 3, etc, in the order
they are specified. When a
connection drops, the cycle
starts again with Host 1 and
proceeds in order.
Establishing the host order
is accomplished with host
list promotion (see Host List
Promotion on page 62).
Sequential is the default
Host Mode.
Simultaneous A tunnel will connect to all hosts accepting a connection. Connections occur
at the same time to all listed hosts. The device can support a maximum of 64 total aggregate
connections.
Host List Promotion
This feature allows Host IP promotion of individual hosts in the overall sequence.
To promote a specific Host:
1. Click the icon in the desired Host field, for example Host 2 and Host 3.
2. The selected Host(s) exchanges its place with the Host above it.
3. Click Submit. The hosts change sequence.
Tunnel Disconnect Mode
Relates to the disconnection of a specific tunnel. Disconnect Mode ends Accept Mode and
Connect Mode connections. When disconnecting, the MatchPort b/g Pro shuts down the specific
tunnel connection gracefully.
The following settings end a specific tunnel connection:
The MatchPort b/g Pro receives the stop character.
The timeout period has elapsed and no activity is going in or out of the MatchPort b/g Pro.
Both Accept Mode and Connect Mode must be idle for the time frame.
Figure 6-17 Host 1, Host 2, Host 3 Exchanged
The MatchPort b/g Pro observes the modem control inactive setting.
Note: To clear data out of the serial buffers upon a disconnect, enable Flush Serial Data.

The value 0 (zero) disables the idle timeout.
Flush Serial Data Select Enabled to flush the serial data buffer on a disconnection.
Tunnel Modem Emulation
A tunnel in Connect Mode can be initiated using modem commands incoming from the Serial Line.
This page enables you to configure the modem emulation settings when you select Modem
Emulation as the Tunnel Connect Mode type.The Modem Emulation Command Mode supports the
standard AT command set. For a list of available commands from the serial or Telnet login, enter
AT?. Use ATDT, ATD, and ATDP to establish a connection. All of these commands behave like a
modem. For commands that are valid but not applicable to the MatchPort b/g Pro, an OK
message is sent (but the command is silently ignored).
The MatchPort b/g Pro attempts to make a Command Mode connection as per the IP/DNS/port
numbers defined in Connect Mode. It is possible to override the remote address, as well as the
remote port number.
The following table lists and describes the available commands.
Table 6-20 Modem Emulation Commands and Descriptions
Command Description
+++ Switches to Command Mode if entered from serial port during connection.
AT? Help.
ATDT<Address Info> Establishes the TCP connection to socket (<ipaddress>:<port>).
ATDP<Address Info> See ATDT.
ATD Like ATDT. Dials default Connect Mode remote address and port.
ATD<Address Info> Sets up a TCP connection. A value of 0 begins a command line interface
session.
ATO Switches to data mode if connection still exists. Vice versa to '+++'.
ATEn Switches echo in Command Mode (off - 0, on - 1).
ATH Disconnects the network session.
ATI Shows modem information.
ATQn Quiet mode (0 - enable results code, 1 - disable results code.)
ATVn Verbose mode (0 - numeric result codes, 1 - text result codes.)
ATXn Command does nothing and returns OK status.
ATUn Accept unknown commands. (n value of 0 =off. n value of 1 =on.)
AT&V Display current and saved settings.
AT&F Reset settings in NVR to factory defaults.
AT&W Save active settings to NVR.
ATZ Restores the current state from the setup settings.
ATS0=n Accept incoming connection.
N value of 0Disable
N value of 1Connect automatically
N value of 2+Connect with ATA command.
ATA Answer incoming connection (if ATS0 is 2 or greater).
A/ Repeat last valid command.
For commands that can take address information (ATD, ATDT, ATDP), the destination address
can be specified by entering the IP Address, or entering the IP Address and port number. For
example, <ipaddress>:<port>. The port number cannot be entered on its own.
For ATDT and ATDP commands less than 255 characters, the MatchPort b/g Pro replaces the
last segment of the IP address with the configured Connect Mode remote station address. It is
possible to use the last two segments also, if they are under 255 characters. For example, if the
address is 100.255.15.5, entering ATDT 16.6 results in 100.255.16.6.
When using ATDT and ATDP, enter 0.0.0.0 to switch to the Command Line Interface (CLI). Once
the CLI is exited by using the CLI exit command, the MatchPort b/g Pro reverts to modem
emulation mode. By default, the +++ characters are not passed through the connection. Turn on
this capability using the modem echo pluses command.
To configure modem emulation for a specific tunnel:

8: Configurable Pin Manager
The Configurable Pin Manager is responsible for assignment and control of the configurable pins
(CPs) available on the MatchPortb/g Pro embedded device server. There are seven
configurable pins on the MatchPort b/g Pro.
You can configure the CPs by making them part of a group. A CP Group may consist of one or
more CPs. This increases flexibility when incorporating the MatchPort b/g Pro into another system.
Overview
CPM: CP (Configurable Pins)
CPM: Groups
Overview
Each CP is associated with an external hardware pin. CPs can be configured and used as digital
inputs or outputs.
When used as input, device functionality can be triggered based on the state of a CP. For
example, an email can be sent when a CP is asserted to a preconfigured level. When used as an
output, logic levels of the CP can be manipulated when a preconfigured event occurs on the
device server, such as when a tunnel connection is accepted.
CPs are configured and manipulated within a group. Each group is named and is referenced in the
feature that is triggering a CP or being triggered by a CP. Sophisticated use of CPs can be
accommodated by adding more than one CP into a group.
Default Groups
MatchPort b/g Pro has several predefined CP groups used to assign a CP to a needed function.
For instance, when working with an RS485 driver that requires a signal to be asserted when in
halfduplex mode, the CP that is driving that signal (chosen by the engineer designing the circuit)
is added to the default group named Line1_RS485_HDpx. The MatchPort b/g Pro asserts the CP
at the correct time via the default group.
Custom Groups
The email, tunneling, and CLI features can interact with CPs. This is accomplished by creating a
custom group and adding CPs of your choice into that group. Once a CP group is created and
populated with one or more CPs, actions can be triggered when the CPs match a specified value.
CPs can be placed in any bit position within a group, allowing for sophisticated use of the available
CPs.
CPM: CP (Configurable Pins)
Each CP is associated with an external hardware pin. CPs can trigger an outside event, like
sending an email message or starting Command Mode on a serial Line.
The CPM web page is used to experimentally configure the state of the CPs. CPs can be changed
to be a digital input or a digital output, and whether it is asserted high or low. Changes made on
this page do not -persist through a reboot.
Rules for configuring a CP are as follows. A CP:
Can be in any number of groups.
Can be only in one active group. Two groups with the same CP cannot be enabled at the
same time.
Becomes locked and is not configurable if it is in an enabled group. Disable the group to
change the CP configuration.
When you are ready to permanently configure the CPs, use the CPM Groups web page. See
CPM: Groups on page 74.

When a DNS name is resolved using a forward lookup, the results are stored in the DNS cache
temporarily. The MatchPortb/g Pro embedded device server checks this cache when performing
forward lookups. Each item in the cache eventually times out and is removed automatically after a
certain period, or you can delete it manually.
To view the DNS status:

Point-to-Point (PPP) Settings
Point-to-Point Protocol establishes a direct connection between two nodes. It defines a method for
data link connectivity between devices using physical layers (such as serial lines).
The MatchPort b/g Pro supports two types of PPP authentication: Password Authentication
Protocol (PAP) and Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP). Both of these
authentication methods require the configuration of a username and password. The MatchPort b/
g Pro also supports the autnetnication scheme of None when no authentication is required during
link negotation.
PAP authentication offers a straightforward method for the peer to determine its identity. Upon the
link establishment, the user ID and password are repeatedly sent to the authenticator until it is
acknowledged or the connection is terminated. However, PAP is not a strong authentication
process. There is no protection against trial-and-error attacks. The peer is responsible for the
frequency of the authentication communication attempts.
CHAP is a more secure method than PAP. It works by sending a challenge message to the
connection requestor. Using a one-way hash function, the requestor responds with its value. If the
value matches the servers own calculations, authentication is provided. Otherwise, the connection
is terminated.
Note: RFC1334 defines both CHAP and PAP.
The MatchPort b/g Pro also supports authentication scheme of None when no authentication is
required during link negotiation.
Since the MatchPort b/g Pro does not support Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT),
static routing table entries must be added to the serial-side and network-side devices (both of
which are external devices).
Use the MatchPort b/g Pro Web Manager or CLI to configure a network link using PPP over a
serial line. Turn off Connect Mode, Accept Mode, and Command mode before enabling PPP. The
MatchPort device acts as the server side of the PPP link; it can require authentication and assign
an IP address to the peer. Upon PPP configuration, IP packets are routed between Ethernet and
PPP interfaces.
Note: The MatchPort b/g Pro does not perform network address translation (NAT)
between the serial-side network interface and the Ethernet/WLAN network interface.
Therefore, to pass packets through the MatchPort, a static route must be configured on
both the PPP Peer device and the remote device it wishes to communicate with. The static
9: Service Settings
route in the PPP Peer device must use the PPP Local IP Address as its gateway, and the
static route in the remote device must use the network interface IP Address of the
MatchPort b/g Pro as its gateway.
The following section describes the steps to configure PPP 1 (PPP on serial line 1); these steps
also apply to any line instance of the device. Since the MatchPort b/g Pro does not support NAPT
(Network Address and Port Translation), static routing table entries must be added to both the
serial-side and network-side devices (both of which are external to the MatchPort b/g Pro).
To configure PPP:
1. Select PPP on the menu bar. The PPP web page appears.
2. Select a line number at the top of the page. The PPP Configuration page for the selected line
number appears.

SSH Settings
SSH is a network protocol for securely accessing a remote device over an encrypted channel. This
protocol manages the security of internet data transmission between two hosts over a network by
providing encryption, authentication, and message integrity services.
Two instances require configuration: when the MatchPort b/g Pro is the SSH server and when it is
an SSH client. The SSH server is used by the CLI (Command Mode) and for tunneling in Accept
Mode. The SSH client is for tunneling in Connect Mode.
To configure the MatchPort b/g Pro as an SSH server, there are two requirements:
Defined Host Keys: both private and public keys are required. These keys are used for the
Diffie-Hellman key exchange (used for the underlying encryption protocol).
Defined Users: these users are permitted to connect to the MatchPort b/g Pro SSH server.
This page has four links at the top for viewing and changing SSH server host keys, SSH server
authorized keys, SSH client known hosts, and SSH client users.
SSH Server Host Keys
SSH Host Keys can be obtained in a few different ways:
Uploading keys via PUTTY or other tools which generate RFC4716 format keys.
Creating keys through the EDS.
The steps for creating or uploading keys is described below.
To upload SSH server host keys generated from PuTTY:
1. Create the keys with puttygen.exe. The keys are in PuTTY format.
2. Use puttygen.exe again to convert the private key to Open SSH format as follows:
a. Import the private key using "ConversionsImport key."
b. Create a new file using "ConversionsExport OpenSSH key."
3. Use ssh-keygen to convert the public key to OpenSSH format.
ssh- keygen - i - f put t y_f i l e > openssh_f i l e
4. Select SSH on the menu bar and SSH Server: Host Keys at the top of the page. The SSH
Server Host Keys page appears.

SSL Settings
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol for managing the security of data transmission over the
Internet. It provides encryption, authentication, and message integrity services. SSL is widely used
for secure communication to a web server.
Certificate/Private key combinations can be obtained from an external Certificate Authority (CA)
and downloaded into the unit. Self-signed certificates with associated private key can be
generated by the device server itself.
For more information regarding Certificates and how to obtain them, see SSL Certificates and
Private Keys (on page 106).
SSL uses digital certificates for authentication and cryptography against eavesdropping and
tampering. Sometimes only the server is authenticated, sometimes both server and client. The
MatchPort b/g Pro can be server and/or client, depending on the application. Public key encryption
systems exchange information and keys and set up the encrypted tunnel.
Efficient symmetric encryption methods encrypt the data going through the tunnel after it is
established. Hashing provides tamper detection.
Applications that can make use of SSL are Tunneling, Secure Web Server, and WLAN interface.
The MatchPort b/g Pro supports SSlv3 and its successors, TLS1.0 and TLS1.1.
Note: An incoming SSlv2 connection attempt is answered with an SSlv3 response. If the
initiator also supports SSLv3, SSLv3 handles the rest of the connection.
SSL Cipher Suites
The SSL standard defines only certain combinations of certificate type, key exchange method,
symmetric encryption, and hash method. Such a combination is called a cipher suite. Supported
cipher suites include the following:
Whichever side is acting as server decides which cipher suite to use for a connection. It is usually
the strongest common denominator of the cipher suite lists supported by both sides.

SSL Certificates
The goal of a certificate is to authenticate its sender. It is analogous to a paper document that
contains personal identification information and is signed by an authority, for example a notary or
government agency.
The principles of Security Certificate required that in order to sign other certificates, the authority
uses a private key. The published authority certificate contains the matching public key that allows
another to verify the signature but not recreate it.
The authoritys certificate can be signed by itself, resulting in a self-signed or trusted-root
certificate, or by another (higher) authority, resulting in an intermediate authority certificate. You
can build up a chain of intermediate authority certificates, and the last certification will always be a
trusted-root certificate.
An authority that signs other certificates is also called a Certificate Authority (CA). The last in line is
then the root-CA. VeriSign is a famous example of such a root-CA. Its certificate is often built into
web browsers to allow verifying the identity of website servers, which need to have certificates
signed by VeriSign or another public CA. Since obtaining a certificate signed by a CA that is
managed by another company can be expensive, it is possible to have your own CA. Tools exist to
generate self-signed CA certificates or to sign other certificates.
A certificate request is a certificate that has not been signed and only contains the identifying
information. Signing it makes it a certificate. A certificate is also used to sign any message
transmitted to the peer to identify the originator and prevent tampering while transported.
When using HTTPS, SSL Tunneling in Accept mode, and/or EAP-TLS, the MatchPort b/g Pro
needs a personal certificate with a matching private key to identify itself and sign its messages.
When using SSL Tunneling in Connect mode and/or EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS or PEAP, the
MatchPort b/g Pro needs the authority certificate that can authenticate users with which it wishes
to communicate.
SSL RSA or DSA
As mentioned above, the certificates contain a public key. Different key exchange methods require
different public keys and thus different styles of certificate. The MatchPort b/g Pro supports key
exchange methods that require a RSA-style certificate and key exchange methods that require a
DSA-style certificate. If only one of these certificates is stored in the MatchPort b/g Pro, only those
key exchange methods that can work with that style certificate are enabled. RSA is sufficient in
most cases.
SSL Certificates and Private Keys
You can obtain a certificate by completing a certificate request and sending it to a certificate
authority that will create a certificate/key combo, usually for a fee. Or generate your own. A few
utilities exist to generate self-signed certificates or sign certificate requests. The MatchPort b/g Pro
also has the ability to generate its own self-signed certificate/key combo.
You can use XML to export the certificate in PEM format, but you cannot export the key. Hence the
internal certificate generator can only be used for certificates that are to identify that particular
MatchPort b/g Pro.
Certificates and private keys can be stored in several file formats. Best known are PKCS12, DER
and PEM. Certificate and key can be in the same file or in separate files. The key can be encrypted
with a password or not. The MatchPort b/g Pro currently only accepts separate PEM files. The key
needs to be unencrypted.
SSL Utilities
Several utilities exist to convert between the formats.
OpenSSL
Open source set of SSL related command line utilities. It can act as server or client. It can
generate or sign certificate requests. It can convert all kinds of formats. Executables are available
for Linux and Windows. To generate a self-signed RSA certificate/key combo use the following
commands in the order shown:
openssl req x509 nodes days 365 newkey rsa:1024 keyout
mp_key.pem out mp_cert.pem
Note: Signing other certificate requests is also possible with OpenSSL. See
www.openssl.org or www.madboa.com/geek/openssl for more information.
Steel Belted RADIUS
Commercial RADIUS server by J uniper Networks that provides a GUI administration interface. It
also provides a certificate request and self-signed certificate generator. The self-signed certificate
has extension .sbrpvk and is in the PKCS12 format. OpenSSL can convert this into a PEM format
certificate and key by using the following commands in the order shown:
openssl pkcs12 -in sbr_certkey.sbrpvk -nodes -out sbr_certkey.pem
The sbr_certkey.pem file contains both certificate and key. If loading the SBR certificate into
MatchPort b/g Pro as an authority, you will need to edit it.
1. Open the file in any plain text editor.
2. Delete all info before the following: ----- BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
3. Delete all info after the following: ----- END CERTIFICATE-----
4. Save as sbr_cert.pem. SBR accepts trusted-root certificates in the DER format.
5. Again, OpenSSL can convert any format into DER by using the following commands in the
order shown:
openssl x509 -inform pem -in mp_cert.pem -outform der -out
mp_cert.der
Note: With SBR, when the identity information includes special characters such as
dashes and periods, SBR changes the format it uses to store these strings and becomes
incompatible with the current MatchPort b/g Pro release. We will add support for this and
other formats in future releases. Free RADIUSLinux open-source RADIUS server. It is

11: Modbus
Modbus ASCII/RTU based serial slave devices can be connected via the ethernet through an
existing Modbus TCP/IP network. Any device having access to a given Modbus implementation
will be able to perform full range of operations that the implementation supports. Modbus/TCP
uses a reserved TCP port of 502 and include a single byte function code (1=255) preceded by a 6
byte header:
Table 11-1 6 Byte Header of Modbus Application Protocol
CP Control via Modbus
Default groups are mapped to Modbus registers. CPs added to groups will result in the CP being
read and written based on the reading or writing to the register which maps to that CP group.
Default Modbus group names include:
Modbus_Ctl_In
Modbus_Ctl_Out
Note: Refer to Chapter 8: CPM: Groups on page 74 for instructions on adding a CP to a
Group.
When the Modbus slave address is set to 0xFF, the message is addressed to the internal default
groups and thus processed by the MatchPortb/g Pro embedded device server. The Modbus
'local slave' supported functions are listed in the table below.

XML Settings
MatchPort b/g Pro allows for the configuration of devices by using XML configuration records
(XCRs). You can export an existing configuration for use on other MatchPort 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 MatchPort b/g Pro 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>:;<g>:;...
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 . Each <g> : value is
separated with a semicolon. If a group has no instance, specify the group name <g>only.
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 embedded networking module, EDS8/16PS and EDS8/16/

14: Bridging
The MatchPortb/g Pro embedded device server supports bridging of traffic between a single
external Ethernet device and the wireless network. When bridging is enabled and active, the MAC
address of the external device is used as the MAC address for the WLAN interface. The
MatchPort b/g Pro then bridges traffic between the two interfaces. The external Ethernet device
appears as a wireless node on the network.
When bridging is enabled, the concept of the Primary Interface is introduced. The Primary
Interface is the interface over which all MatchPort b/g Pro features and services operate, as if
bridging were not enabled. FTP, Telnet CLI, HTTP, 77FE, etc, all may be accessed as usual over
the Primary Interface. The Primary Interface dynamically switches between eth0 and wlan0,
depending on the state of the Ethernet physical link. If the Ethernet link is up, eth0 is the Primary
Interface; otherwise, wlan0 is the Primary Interface.
When bridging is enabled, operation of Network 1 (eth0) and Network 2 (wlan0) are overridden
and controlled by the bridging subsystem. The Primary Interface always uses the Network 1
(eth0) Interface Configuration (see Network 1 (eth0) Interface Configuration) for its settings.
Network 2 (wlan0) Interface Configuration is ignored when bridging is enabled. Network 1 (eth0)
and Network 2 (wlan0) Link Configuration settings are still used to configure and control the
physical links.
Bridging Configuration
To configure and enable bridging, follow these guidelines:
1. Configure Network 1 (eth0) Interface settings, which will be used for the Primary Interface. For
example,
- DHCP Disabled
- IP Address 192.168.1.100/24
- Default Gateway 192.168.1.1
2. Configure Network 1 (eth0) Link settings, if desired. These include the Ethernet link speed
and duplex.
3. Configure Network 2 (wlan0) Link settings as desired for connection to a wireless network.
Primarily, configure the WLAN Profile(s) for connection to the wireless network.
4. Create the corresponding WLAN Profile(s) under the WLAN Profiles page.
At this point, it is a good idea to ensure that the MatchPort b/g Pro can connect to your
wireless network, before enabling bridging. Check your WLAN settings by continuing with the
following steps:
5. Enable Network 2 (wlan0) and Disable Network 1 (eth0).
6. Configure Network 2 (wlan0) Interface settings as desired.
7. Reboot.
8. Verify the wireless connection.
9. Enable Bridge 1 (bridge0).
10. Optionally configure the Bridge 1 Bridging MAC Address.
11. Reboot for changes to take effect.
14: Bridging
Bridging Operation
During initialization, both eth0 and wlan0 are enabled and controlled by the bridging subsystem.
Important aspects to keep in mind:
eth0 always uses the MatchPort b/g Pro's factory-configured MAC Address
If eth0 physical link is down, wlan0 uses the MatchPort b/g Pro's factory-configured MAC
address and wlan0 is the Primary Interface.
If eth0 physical link is up, wlan0 uses the Bridging MAC Address (either pre-configured or
auto-detected), and eth0 is the Primary Interface.
When eth0 link is up, wlan0 link is established, and the Bridging MAC Address is acquired (via pre-
configuration or auto-detection), Bridging enters the Active state. If either link goes down, bridging
falls back to the Inactive state.
When in the Active state, all packets that arrive on the wlan0 interface are bridged out the eth0
interface. Similarly, all packets that arrive on the eth0 interface are bridged out the wlan0 interface.
However, exceptions to this behavior include:
Ethernet packets directed specifically to the Ethernet MAC Address are terminated internally
and are not bridged to WLAN.
ARP Requests for the Primary Interface's IP address are terminated internally and are not
bridged to WLAN
Ethernet packets which are not originated from the Bridging MAC Address are discarded.
Bridge Settings
A bridge may be configured between an Ethernet interface and a WLAN interface. A bridge
represents a relationship between the interface minor numbers. For example, br0 is a bridge
between eth0 and wlan0.
Bridge 1 (bridge0) Status
This page shows the status of the Ethernet-to-WLAN network bridge.
To view the bridge status:
1. Click Bridge on the menu.
2. Then click Status at the top of the page. The Bridge 1 (bridge0) Status page appears.

the link state in parentheses.
WLAN Link Current state of the WLAN Physical link.
This is the same format that appears on the main Status page when Network
2 (wlan0) is active. Displayed is the current link state ESTABLISHED or
not established. More detail on the state of the physical link can be found on
the Network 2 (wlan0) Link Status page.
14: Bridging
Primary Interface The current Primary Interface (eth0 or wlan0).
The Primary Interface is the interface which is currently terminating traffic
directed internally to the MatchPort b/g Pro. All normal, non-bridging
communications over this interface will be handled properly, such as web
access, telnet access, etc.
The Primary Interface switches dynamically. When the Network 1 (eth0) link
is physically connected, then it is the Primary Interface. If the eth0 link is
down, then Network 2 (wlan0) becomes the Primary Interface.
Bridging MAC The MAC address of the external Ethernet device, whose traffic is being
bridged to/from the wireless network.
If the Bridging MAC Address is not pre-configured, and if the first packet has
not been received over the Ethernet interface, then this field will display as
Not Acquired.
Ethernet MAC The MAC address of the internal Ethernet interface (eth0). This is the
MatchPort b/g Pros factory-configured MAC address.
WLAN MAC The MAC address of the internal WLAN interface (wlan0). This address
dynamically switches between the Bridging MAC and the Ethernet MAC,
depending on the state of the bridge.
If wlan0 is the Primary Interface (eth0 link is down), then this is the same as
the Ethernet MAC. If bridge0 is Active, this is the same as the Bridging MAC
Address.
Unicast Statistics These statistics reflect the number of Ethernet Unicast packets that have
been bridged between the two interfaces.
NonUnicast Statistics These statistics reflect the number of Ethernet NonUnicast packets that have
been bridged between the two interfaces.
Discards Statistics These statistics reflect the number of Ethernet packets which have been
discarded because the source address does not match the Bridging MAC
Address.
Octets Statistics These statistics reflect the number of octets which have been bridged
between the two interfaces.

15: Security in Detail
Public Key Infrastructure
Public key infrastructure (PKI) is based on an encryption technique that uses two keys: a public
key and private key. Public keys can be used to encrypt messages which can only be decrypted
using the private key. This technique is referred to as asymmetric encryption, as opposed to
symmetric encryption, in which a single secret key is used by both parties.
TLS (SSL)
Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), use asymmetric
encryption for authentication. In some scenarios, only a server needs to be authenticated, in
others both client and server authenticate each other. Once authentication is established, clients
and servers use asymmetric encryption to exchange a secret key. Communication then proceeds
with symmetric encryption, using this key.
SSH and some wireless authentication methods on the MatchPortb/g Pro make use of SSL. The
MatchPortb/g Pro embedded device server supports SSLv2, SSlv3, and TLS1.0.
TLS/SSL application hosts use separate digital certificates as a basis for authentication in both
directions: to prove their own identity to the other party, and to verify the identity of the other party.
In proving its own authenticity, the MatchPort b/g Pro will use its own "personal" certificate. In
verifying the authenticity of the other party, the MatchPort b/g Pro will use a "trusted authority"
certificate.
In short:
When using EAP-TLS, the MatchPort b/g Pro needs a personal certificate with matching
private key to identify itself and sign its messages.
When using EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS or PEAP, the MatchPort b/g Pro needs the authority
certificate(s) that can authenticate those it wishes to communicate with.
Digital Certificates
The goal of a certificate is to authenticate its sender. It is analogous to a paper document that
contains personal identification information and is signed by an authority, for example a notary or
government agency. With digital certificates, a cryptographic key is used to create a unique digital
signature.
Trusted Authorities
A private key is used by a trusted certificate authority (CA) to create a unique digital signature.
Along with this private key is a certificate of authority, containing a matching public key that can be
used to verify the authority's signature but not re-create it.
A chain of signed certificates, anchored by a root CA, can be used to establish a sender's
authenticity. Each link in the chain is certified by a signed certificate from the previous link, with
the exception of the root CA. This way, trust is transferred along the chain, from the root CA
through any number of intermediate authorities, ultimately to the agent that needs to prove its
authenticity.
Obtaining Certificates
Signed certificates are typically obtained from well-known CAs, such as VeriSign. This is done by
submitting a certificate request for a CA, typically for a fee. The CA will sign the certificate request,
producing a certificate/key combo: the certificate contains the identity of the owner and the public
key, and the private key is available separately for use by the owner.
As an alternative to acquiring a signed certificate from a CA, you can act as your own CA and
create self-signed certificates. This is often done for testing scenarios, and sometimes for closed
environments where the expense of a CA-signed root certificate is not necessary.
Self-Signed Certificates
A few utilities exist to generate self-signed certificates or sign certificate requests. The MatchPort
b/g Pro also has the ability to generate its own self-signed certificate/key combo. You can use
XML to export the certificate in PEM format, but you cannot export the key. Hence the internal
certificate generator can only be used for certificates that are to identify that particular MatchPort
b/g Pro.
Certificate Formats
Certificates and private keys can be stored in several file formats. Best known are PKCS12, DER
and PEM. Certificate and key can be in the same file or in separate files. Additionally, the key can
be either be encrypted with a password or left in the clear. However, the MatchPort b/g Pro
currently only accepts separate PEM files, with the key unencrypted.
Several utilities exist to convert between the formats.
OpenSSL
OpenSSL is a widely used open source set of SSL related command line utilities. It can act as
server or client. It can also generate or sign certificate requests, and can convert from and to
several different of formats.
OpenSSL is available in binary form for Linux and Windows.
To generate a self-signed RSA certificate/key combo:
openssl r eq - x509 - nodes - days 365 - newkey r sa: 1024 - keyout mp_key. pem-
out mp_cer t . pem
See www.openssl.org or www.madboa.com/geek/openssl for more information.
Note: Signing other certificate requests is also possible with OpenSSL but the details of
this process are outside the scope of this document.
Steel Belted RADIUS
Steel Belted RADIUS is a commercial RADIUS server from J uniper Networks that provides a GUI
administration interface. It also provides a certificate request and self-signed certificate generator.
The self-signed certificate has extension .sbrpvk and is in the PKCS12 format. OpenSSL can
convert this into a PEM format certificate and key:
openssl pkcs12 -in sbr_certkey.sbrpvk -nodes -out sbr_certkey.pem
The sbr_certkey.pem file contains both certificate and key. If loading the SBR certificate into
MatchPort b/g Pro as an authority, you will need to edit it:
1. Open the file in any plain text editor.
2. Delete all info before "----- BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" and after "----- END
CERTIFICATE-----", and then save as sbr_cert.pem.
SBR accepts trusted-root certificates in the DER format. Again, OpenSSL can convert any format
into DER:
openssl x509 -inform pem -in mp_cert.pem -outform der -out mp_cert.der
Note: With SBR, when the identity information includes special characters such as
dashes and periods, SBR changes the format it uses to store these strings and becomes
incompatible with the current MatchPort b/g Pro release. Support may be added for this
and other formats in future releases.
Free RADIUS
Free RADIUS is another versatile Linux open-source RADIUS server.
16: Branding the MatchPort b/g Pro
This chapter describes how to brand your MatchPortb/g Pro by using Web Manager and
Command Line Interface (CLI). It contains the following sections on customization:
Web Manager Customization
Short and Long Name Customization
Web Manager Customization
Customize the Web Managers appearance by modifying index.html and style.css. The style
(fonts, colors, and spacing) of the Web Manager is controlled with style.css and the text and
graphics are controlled with index.html.
The Web Manager files are hidden and are incorporated directly into the firmware image but may
be overridden by placing the appropriate file in the appropriate directory on the MatchPort b/g Pro
embedded device server file system.
Web Manager files can be retrieved and overridden with the following procedure:
1. FTP to the MatchPort b/g Pro device.
2. Make a directory (mkdir) and name it http/config
3. Change to the directory (cd) that you created in step 2. (http/config)
4. Get the file by using get <filename>
5. Modify the file as required or create a new one with the same name
6. Put the file by using put <filename>
7. Type quit. The overriding files appear in the file systems http/config directory.
8. Restart any open browser to view the changes.
9. If you wish to go back to the default files in the firmware image, simply delete the overriding
files from the file system.
Short and Long Name Customization
Short and long names may be customized in Web Manager according to the directions in System
Settings. The names display in the CLI show command and in the System web page in the Current
Configuration table. The short name is used for the show command. Both names display in the CLI
Product Type field in the following example:
( enabl e) # show
The long and short names appear in the Product Type field in the following format:
Pr oduct Type: <l ong name> ( <shor t name>)
For example:
( enabl e) # show
Pr oduct I nf or mat i on:
Pr oduct Type: Lant r oni x Mat chPor t b/ g Pr o ( Mat chPor t b/ g Pr o)

Appendix C: Binary to Hexadecimal Conversions
Many of the units configuration procedures require you to assemble a series of options
(represented as bits) into a complete command (represented as a byte).
The resulting binary value must be converted to a hexadecimal representation.
Use this chapter to learn to convert binary values to hexadecimals or to look up hexadecimal
values in the tables of configuration options. The tables include:
Command Mode (serial string sign-on message)
AES Keys
Converting Binary to Hexadecimal
Conversion Table
Hexadecimal digits have values ranging from 0 to F, which are represented as 0-9, A (for 10), B
(for 11), etc. To convert a binary value (for example, 0100 1100) to a hexadecimal representation,
treat the upper and lower four bits separately to produce a two-digit hexadecimal number (in this
case, 4C). Use the following table to convert values from binary to hexadecimal.

Appendix C: Binary to Hexadecimal Conversions
Scientific Calculator
Another simple way to convert binary to hexadecimal is to use a scientific calculator, such as the
one available on the Windows operating systems. For example:
1. On the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Accessories > Calculator.
2. On the View menu, select Scientific. The scientific calculator appears.
3. Click Bin (Binary), and type the number you want to convert.
4. Click Hex. The hexadecimal value appears.
