XPort™ Data Sheet
General Description
The XPort™ is the most compact, integrated
solution available to web-enable any device with a
serial interface. By simply adding XPort™ to a
product design, device manufacturers cut their
design cycle by as much as 80% and are able to
offer Ethernet connectivity in record time.
The XPort offers the highest level of integration
available in a device server. Within a compact
RJ45 package is a DSTni-EX 186 controller,
memory, 10/100 Ethernet transceiver, high-speed
serial port, status/diagnostic LEDs, and 3
programmable I/O pins. In the space that is
normally consumed by a connector, the XPort
provides a complete networking interface.
To enable access to a local network or the Internet,
the XPort integrates a fully developed TCP/IP
network stack and OS. The XPort also includes an
embedded web server used to remotely configure,
monitor, or troubleshoot the attached device.
Where there’s a need for custom user interfaces
and a desire to use common and familiar tools, the
XPort can serve web pages to a web browser. The
XPort becomes a conduit between you and your
device over the network or Internet.
The Windows™-based configuration software,
DeviceInstaller, simplifies installation and setup.
The XPort can also be set up locally through its
serial port, or remotely over a ne twork using Telnet
or a web browser. Flash memory provides for
maintenance-free nonvolatile storage of web
pages, and allows future system software
upgrades.
Using our highly integrated hardware and software
platform, you will add profit to your bottom line by
significantly reducing product development time,
risk, and cost.

Hardware & Software Description
The XPort is a complete solution (hardware and
software) for web-enabling your edge devices.
Packed into an RJ45 connector smaller than your
thumb, this powerful device server comes with a
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet connection, a
reliable and proven operating system stored in
flash memory, an embedde d web server, a full
TCP/IP protocol stack, and standard s-based (AES)
encryption.
The XPort software runs on a DSTni-EX controller
which has 256 KB of SRAM, 16 KB of boot ROM,
and a MAC with integrated 10/100BASE-TX PHY.
The XPort communicates to the edge device
through a 3.3V serial interface and three general-
purpose programmable I/O pins. 512 KB of flash
memory is included for storing firmware and web
pages. The XPort runs on 3.3V, and has a built-in
voltage supervisory circuit that will trigger a reset if
the supply voltage drops to unreliable levels (2.7V).
A built-in 1.8V regulator drives the processing core
of the EX controller.
An RJ45 Ethernet cable connects dire ctly into an
XPort. Ethernet magnetics, status LEDs, and
shielding are built in. The XPort was de signed to
meet class B emissions levels, which makes the
electromechanical integration very simple.
PCB Interface
The 8-pin PCB interface consists of 3.3V CMOS
Serial In/Out, 3 Flow Control/Handshake/PIO pins,
reset input, +3.3V power, and signal ground. All
pins are 5V tolerant.

CP1 6
CP1 can be configured as follows:
Flow control: RTS (Request to Send)
output driven by DSTni’s built-in UART
for connection to CTS of attached
device.
Programmable input/output: CP1 can
be driven or read through software
control, independent of serial port
activity.
CP2 7
CP2 can be configured as follows:
Modem control: DTR (Data Terminal
Ready) output driven by DSTni’s built-
in UART for connection to DCD of
attached device.
Programmable input/output: CP2 can
be driven or read through software
control, independent of serial port
activity.
CP3 8
CP3 can be configured as follows:
Flow control: CTS (Clear to Send)
input read by DSTni’s built-in UART for
connection to RTS of attached device.
Modem control: DCD (Data Carrier
Detect) input read by DSTni’s built-in
UART for connection to DTR of
attached device.
Programmable input/output: CP3 can
be driven or read through software
control, independent of serial port
activity.
Ethernet Interface
The 10/100 Ethernet magnetics, network status
LEDs, and RJ45 connector are integrated into the
XPort.

Protocol Support
The XPort uses Internet Protocol (IP) for network
communications a nd Transmission Control
Protocol (TCP) to assure that no data is lost or
duplicated, and that everything sent arrives
correctly at the target.
Other supported proto cols 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.
* For a complete discussion of protocol support,
see the XPort user manual.
LEDs
The device contains two bi-color LEDs built into the
front of the XPort connector. (See dimension

have approximately 1 square inch of copper
attached to the shield tabs. The shiel d tabs are
an important source of heat sinking for the
device.
