An Internet Based Communication Server for Remote Control

Abstract

Today, communication has been applied to everywhere; most devices are equipped with the communication capacity. However, some available older version devices are not provided with the long distance communication functions. This paper introduces a multi-port communication server to solve the problem. This server is able to provide an effective multipoint-to-multipoint communication service. The implementation of such a communication server, based on a low cost with multi-port, is presented. It will describe the driver design of communication server and the interface with the upper-layer access protocols such as PPP, SNMP in Linux. In addition, the server also provided the Web interface and NAT; hence the administrator can manage his/her remote equipments easily via Internet. This paper will describe the detail about the implementation.
