Embedded TCP/IP products

Nohau UK has recognised that many embedded designs are now taking advantage of network connections using TCP/IP stacks. Many devices can now be connected to the internet via a serial dial-up line, Ethernet or other network connection. Controlling these devices can be done using custom written graphical interfaces, however embedding a web server on the target system is now common place.

Once the embedded web server has been realised, the remote target system can be controlled across the TCP/IP link using a web browser such as Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer. However this is not confined to the PC world, as a web browser running on a MAC or SUN system, will have access to the same user interface.

To implement a TCP/IP stack on an embedded design can take many man months, if not years, should you wish to write the firmware yourself. To this end Nohau UK are pleased to offer a solution:

• NicheStack and NicheLite
  Interniche offers a royalty free, embedded TCP/IP stack and associated protocol plug-ins such as SNMP, FTP and PPP drivers together with utilities such as Web Server, Web Browser, File System and Email Alert.

• RTXC Quadnet
  TCP/IP networking software from Quadros Systems Inc. is designed to support a wide range of applications where connectivity is essential such as data acquisition and data logging, factory automation, CAN-to-Ethernet gateways, building control and security, remote diagnostics and monitoring, point-of-sale kiosks and printers, environmental controls, and medical devices.

• An Introduction to Embedded TCP/IP
  Nohau also presents a regular series of one-day seminars to introduce new developers to the TCP/IP stack.
