2: Introduction

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.
