WiPort is a wireless embedded device server that provides a network-enabling
solution based on the IEEE 802.11b wireless standard. WiPort allows Original
Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to add wireless connectivity to their products by
incorporating it onto a circuit board.
The WiPort functions independently of a PC, providing a fully integrated solution that
combines a processor, memory, 802.11b transceiver, and dual high-speed serial
ports into a single compact module. It includes an operating system, an embedded
Web server, full TCP/IP protocol stack, and WEP security. In addition, the WiPort
sends email alerts and supports numerous other network communication protocols,
including ARP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, Telnet, AutoIP, DHCP, HTTP, SNMP, and SMTP.
For OEMs who wish to customize the user interface by employing common and
familiar tools, the WiPort serves applets to a Web browser, resulting in interactive
Web pages. This customization of HTML Web pages and configuration screens
tailors the WiPort to fit unique requirements.
