The following section describes in brief what each main component controls.
Host Operating System Driver
The Host Operating System driver performs the translation from a standard Serial COM port
interface to the Blue Heat/Net protocol (which is then delivered to the LAN as described above).
Configuration Manager
This software manages and configures the relationships between the Blue Heat/Net serial ports
and the COM port assignments of the Host Operating System.
Web Browser
The Host Operating System supplies a Web Browser to support the Web Configuration Manager
(WCM) used to change the configuration settings of Blue Heat/Net units.
Embedded Operating System
The embedded Operating System is uClinux.
PPP Client and PPP Server
A Blue Heat/Net port can behave as a PPP connection, enabling you to run network protocols
over a serial link. PPP connections are often used in applications that require remote monitoring.
