Network-based control of GeckoFlex modules•

The 8900NET (Net Card) Network Interface module is much more than a
simple Ethernet adapter—it’s a complete Web server on a single module.
The Web server embedded in the chipset creates Web pages for the
frame and each module within it and distributes them over a standard
Ethernet TCP/IP network.

For basic Web control of GeckoFlex modules, there is no need for you to
purchase additional software or hardware—simply use a standard Web
browser to view and control module and frame parameters. You can also
use the 8900NET module in conjunction with the Newton modular control
system.
