Patent number: 9680796Abstract: An asset management system is presented. The management system includes monitoring devices able to provide asset data across firewalls without requiring reconfiguration of the firewalls. The asset data pass through a forwarding service that instantiates a virtual tunnel comprising a communication channel between the monitoring devices and remote asset management engines. The asset management engines can also be located behind firewalls. As the management engines aggregate asset data, the engines can present one or more alerts via a management interface.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2016Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: Lantronix, Inc.Inventors: Daryl R. Miller, David L. Wagstaff

Publication number: 20140280850Abstract: An engine within a system capable of instantiating a state machine used to monitor an associated legacy device. The engine can instantiate state machine variables related to desired characteristics and derive values for the variables based on an analog signal received from the legacy device. In order to cause the state machine to transition to a new state, the engine must obtain information from a different engine to complete the necessary transition criteria.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: Lantronix, Inc.Inventor: David L.

Patent number: 8793353Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system are described for a central station to allocate virtual IP addresses. A device service manager server (DSM) has a network access module conFigured to cooperate with two or more device service controllers (DSCs). The DSM serves as a central management station for allocating and assigning Virtual IP addresses to network devices to proxy communications for networked devices on a local area network (LAN) where each DSC resides. The DSM is located exterior from the network devices on the LAN where communications associated with the assigned VIP addresses are being routed to. The DSM assigns a Virtual IP Addresses to each DSC and establishes a route from the assigned Virtual IP address to a destination network device on a LAN, based on corresponding DSC and network device information stored in a registry of the DSM.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2010Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: Lantronix, Inc.Inventors: Daryl R.

Publication number: 20140201394Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods in which one can implement a legacy device management system to control and operate a legacy device coupled to the system. The system is configured to pull device attributes from the legacy device and use those attributes to obtain an inventory of possible device drivers that could be used with the legacy device. The system then applies acquisition rules to whittle down and prioritize the possible device drivers within a matrix and then identifies which driver to use in accordance with the system's local configuration. The system is generally implemented in a stand-alone apparatus that could be coupled between the legacy device and a computer system.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2014Publication date: July 17, 2014Applicant: Lantronix, Inc.Inventor: David L.

Publication number: 20140181248Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system are described for accessing networked devices without accessible network addresses via Virtual IP (VIP) addresses. The system consists of a soft Device Services Controller (DSC), downloaded on a first local network from the device service manager (DSM) on a wide area network, and a VIP Access enabled device on a second local network separate from the first area network. The soft DSC and associated VIP Access enabled device create a virtual network interface and corresponding virtual IP address (VIP) to permit outgoing TCP/IP conduit connection to the DSM. When networking traffic arrives at the virtual networking interface with the associated VIP, the soft DSC automatically processes and forwards that traffic to the DSM. Using this mechanism, it is possible for two networked devices on separate networks to communicate in spite of firewalls and without knowledge of each other's network.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2010Publication date: June 26, 2014Inventors: Jonathan Peter Deutsch, Danny Te-An Sung, Daryl R.
