Network-enable your "non-IP" devices!

The Internet is everywhere. And the deployment of internet-related technology is growing rapidly. Together with the growth of the Internet and internet-related products, there is an increasing demand for accessing non-internet-capable products via the Internet or the company intranet. 

Most of the equipment used for building computer networks is "internet-capable" by nature. This means that such equipment can be controlled or monitored by way of standard internet protocols. However, a vast amount of devices -even those that have some sort of computer interface- were not designed with IP networking capability. 

Nowadays many office applications can be accessed by means of a regular Web browser which offers a standard user interface available to any application which chooses to communicate using the Web's native protocol. Also the software market is moving rapidly to support Web technologies and Internet standards as the basis for the next generation of enterprise management solutions. So, with more and more equipment and applications being Web-based, the need for integrating all the equipment and processes in your company's Intranet will be felt stronger and stronger. 

Applications
The applications of WebBased device interface solutions are numerous. Hereby some examples: 

• Monitoring and controlling production processes via the intranet offering a uniform user-interface for equipment from various suppliers. 

 
• Monitoring network devices and presenting the information in the form of figures or graphs without having to use an expensive network management platform. 

 
• Supply only that information which is relevant for your company and reduce network bandwidth consumption. 

 
• Communicate with SNMP based equipment using your WebBrowser.
