OVERVIEW
WinSystems has teamed with Datalight® Inc. (Bothell, WA) http://www.datalight.com, to port their small, efficient TCP/IP stack called Sockets with WinSystems' Single Board Computer (SBCs). Sockets is a command-driven Internet protocol software package that runs on the ROM-DOS embedded operating system providing both client and server services. Sockets supports most networking data transmission protocols, including FTP, TCP, DHCP, IP and email (send and receive). Sockets operates over the WinSystems SBC's Ethernet port. This hardware and software combination is targeted for the telecommunication, data communication, and information appliance markets where small size and an extended operating temperature range are important.
Sockets is a suite of tools designed to Internet-enable embedded devices. It includes a compact TCP/IP stack and a complete set of applications that are designed to address real world embedded Internet challenges. These applications include: FTP server and client for custom network communication; HTTP server and client for remote disk updating and file sharing; E-mail, for immediate notification and reporting; Terminal Emulation, for legacy terminal replacement; and Print, for instant access reporting.
