Embedded Modules
C H A P T E R 1
Overview
The embedded modules provide fully transparent device connectivity over industry-
standard Ethernet connections and allows both equipment manufacturers and systems
integrators to network-enable products at a fraction of the time and cost required to develop
a custom solution. It is a highly flexible and compact single component solution with a
serial port, GPIO ports, and a robust on-board TCP/IP stack and 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet
support or wireless interface..
From medical systems to building control and industrial automation, in virtually any
application where embedded device connectivity over Ethernet or wireless connectivity is
needed, embedded modules are the ideal choice, delivering high-performance functionality.
Note
Unless mentioned specifically by name, the products will be referred to as the
embedded modules or modules. Individual naming is used to differentiate
product specific features.
