The addition of the Boa web server to the IPm firmware provides users with the option of creating their own web based solutions for their automation needs using common HTML/web development languages and tools.
Sample PERL scripts for accessing information from within the IPm unit are also included in the firmware.
Web applications can be installed on IPm units using standard FTP utilities or the Sixnet I/O Tool Kit software (users must license the "web server accessibility" option of the I/O Tool Kit software to access IPm I/O registers in their web pages).
