SGX 5150 IoT Device Gateway Command Reference 9
2: Overview
The SGX 5150 IoT device gateway supports three convenient configuration methods: Web
Manager, CLI, and XML. For more information about Web Manager, see the SGX 5150, SGX
5150 MD, and SGX 5150 XL IoT Device Gateway User Guide available at www.Lantronix.com/
support/documentation.
XML Architecture and Control
XML is a fundamental building block for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT)
networks. The SGX 5150 IoT device gateway supports XML configuration records that make
configuring the SGX 5150 unit easy for users and administrators. XML configuration records are
easy to edit with a standard text editor or an XML editor.
For a brief overview of XML, see 4: Configuration Using XML. It provides guidelines for basic XML
syntax, the specific XML tags used, and XML configuration records.
Command Line Interface
Making the edge-to-enterprise vision a reality, the SGX 5150 IoT device gateway uses industry-
standard tools for configuration, communication, and control. For example, the SGX 5150 IoT
device gateway uses a command line interface (CLI) whose syntax is very similar to that used by
data center equipment such as routers and hubs.
For details of the CLI, see 5: Commands and Levels. It provides an index of the CLI Command
Hierarchy with links to the corresponding command details. The CLI provides commands for
configuring, monitoring, and controlling the SGX 5150 IoT device gateway.
