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.
