2.5: Total Web Solutions

The 10/100BaseT Ethernet Option (INP 100) is a fully customizable web server that uses XML to provide access to real time data via Internet Explorer. EIG’s name for this dynamic system is Total Web Solutions. The system incorporates a highly programmable network card with built-in memory that is installed in the 100BaseT Option meters. Each card can be programmed to perform an extensive array of monitoring functions and the system is much faster than the 10BaseT Ethernet Option.

NOTE: Nexus meters with the INP10 Option do not support Total Web Solutions.
