Low Cost Java Web Server to connect LonWorks devices to the Internet -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plexus Technology Ltd (UK) has released the NSX-10 NETSERVER which enables LONWORKS?applications to have direct Internet access at a price typically associated with dial-up connections. The NSX NETSERVER provides seamless, reliable and secure connectivity of LONWORKS?control networks to any corporate IP (Internet Protocol) data network or the Internet. This enables total control of any LONWORKS?device from wherever you maybe in the world and real-time dynamic update of data from the devices connected via a standard Web browser, all at an affordable price. As the Internet becomes more accessible to smaller businesses and the home, owners wish to maximise the usage of this data link for multiple applications. The NETSERVER facilitates this need, enabling real-time monitoring and control via the Internet or corporate network for both small and large control applications. By combining the power of IP based data networks with control networks, high speed wide area networks which can route LONWORKS?data can be implemented in the smallest facilities. In markets where LONWORKS?technology has been adopted, this is creating wider monitoring and controlling possibilities than have been commercially viable in the past e.g. by using event driven Emails. The NETSERVER facilitates new market opportunities for this powerful combination of data and control technology. "The NETSERVER breaks the 慶ost of entry?barriers seen to date with LONWORKS?to IP devices, while at the same time delivering a Java based, feature rich product that can be applied to a wide variety of LONWORKS applications. It enables new applications to connect directly to the Internet that were previously prohibited from doing so by cost? said Gary Bark, Sales and Marketing Director of Plexus Technology Ltd. "The development of the NETSERVER has been focused around low cost, ease of engineering web pages and simple configuration which is achieved through an LNS?Plug-in? http://www.plexus-technology.com
