All models feature a fast and easy design-in, thanks to Connect One’s AT+i™ Protocol, which eliminates the need for Internet programming and minimizes changes to the host application. In fact, when using AT+i’s SerialNET™ mode, no changes to the host application are required at all. The AT+i command set is portable among all iChip models. Depending on the model, a new generation iChip may be designed into a product that uses a previous generation iChip, with minimum or no changes to the AT+i commands.
Key Benefits
· Easy, rapid design-in – requiring minimal hardware redesign, no change to the operating system (or no operating system at all), no Internet programming, and minimal or no modifications to the application; design-in is typically one month or less
· Cost-effective IP connectivity – eliminates the need to use more powerful processors than required for the core application; saves the costs of developing and debugging in-house hardware or software solutions
· Proven, worldwide reliability – installed since 1999 in devices operating in 50 countries, across disparate environments
· Lifetime updatability – fully updateable firmware in all products enables support of new protocols; remote updatability available with some iChips
· Much more than TCP/IP – supports the complete TCP/IP protocol stack and includes upper layer protocols (such as SSL3/TLS1.0 SMTP, POP3, MIME, HTTP, WAP, FTP, and TELNET); also includes an onboard Web server, along with numerous features that optimize network connectivity
· Built-in security – secure sockets, secure upper layer protocols, secure SMTP authentication and MD5 password encryption for the embedded Web server
Application-specific Solutions
iChip is available in several families designed to meet the needs of a wide range of applications. All solutions support TCP/UDP sockets, and most support upper layer protocols and serial-to-IP bridging via AT+i's SerialNET™ operating mode.
