Moxa DA-710-LX [7/69] Networking and communication capabilities

DA-710 XPE User’s Manual Introduction

Networking and Communication Capabilities

The DA-710-XPE embedded computers provide powerful hardware communication interfaces for

network-centric embedded applications, including Ethernet and serial ports, and also support the

networking and communications capabilities that are built into Windows Embedded Standard

2009 with SP3 OS. The following features are supported:

y DHCP Client Service—Registers and updates Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and Domain

Name System (DNS) records for your target system.

y IP Security Services—This component provides IP Security (IPsec) services for all IP traffic.

y Dial-Up Networking—Provides the infrastructure necessary to implement a Remote Access

Service (RAS) client.

y Microsoft-Windows-HTTP—Services that implement the functionality of the HTTP protocol

on a server.

y TCP/IP Networking—Implements the core TCP/IP protocol stack, which includes the IPv4

version for the following protocols: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), User Datagram

Protocol (UDP), raw, Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), Internet Group Membership

Protocol (IGMP), and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). The component also includes

Wshtcpip.dll, which is the Winsock provider for TCP/IP to enable socket-level

communication over TCP/IP.

y TAPI—A Telephony API (TAPI) Telephony Service Provider (TSP).

y Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)—SNMP is an agent service that provides

management systems with information about activities that occur at the Internet Protocol (IP)

network layer. The SNMP agent monitors network traffic, and retrieves and updates local

management information based on the requests from the SNMP manager. The agent also

notifies registered managers with traps when significant events occur.

y Time Service Core—Synchronizes a workstation's clock with other computers using the

Network Time Protocol (NTP) version 3. For increased accuracy, this component also

incorporates algorithmic enhancements from NTP 4.

y Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)—Windows Firewall provides a

barrier between your device and network connections to help reduce attacks by hackers,

viruses, and worms across networks. Strongly recommended..

y Wireless Zero Configuration—Support for the Windows implementation of the IEEE 802.11

standard. This component performs automatic configuration and authentication for IEEE

802.11 wireless network adaptors.

y Unimodem—Provides the infrastructure necessary for applications to communicate with a

modem.
