WiPort Data Sheet General Description The WiPort is the most compact, integrated solution available to add 802.11b wireless networking to any edge device with a serial interface. Using our highly integrated hardware and software platform, you will add to your bottom line by significantly reducing product development time, risk, and cost. The WiPort offers the highest level of integration available in a device server. Within a compact package is a DSTni x86 controller, memory, 802.11b transceiver, a 10/100 Ethernet transceiver, and dual high-speed serial ports. All of this combines to give you a complete networking solution. The WiPort is the first product in a line of embedded wireless device servers, designed with flexibility to support additional wireless standards Key Features without requiring redesign. Complete integrated solution To enable access to a local network or the Internet, the Supports WLAN or Ethernet connectivity WiPort integrates a fully developed TCP/IP network Serial to 802.11b conversion stack and OS. The WiPort also includes an embedded web server that can be used to remotely configure, Stable, field proven TCP/IP protocol suite and web- based application framework monitor, or troubleshoot the attached device. Easy configuration through a web interface WiPort serves web pages to a web browser when there Easy installation of customized web pages is a need to gather information or communicate with Embedded web server networked devices. The WiPort becomes a conduit between you and your device over the network or 802.11b wireless interface Internet.
