Abstract:

It is of great interest to be able to communicate, monitor, and possibly control, embedded systems wirelessly and from a distance. In this paper the possibilities to do so are investigated.

The investigation includes for example techniques to access embedded systems such as access networks, web servers and modem solutions.

At the other end the possibilities to present information on a client. The properties of these access techniques are studied in order to decide the suitability for the system to be a part of a system fulfilling the needs to communicate with, and monitor an embedded system wirelessly.

After the investigation was performed an architectures for two systems, one web- and one WAP-based, are presented. The two system architectures are implemented, where much of the work come to focus on the integration between different software packages from different vendors. The other part of the implementation process was the building of applications to the two systems.
