Out of interest, is this a wired conection to the internet, or wireless ?
It's a generic TCP/IP connection. Typically it would be behind a
router of some sort but that router can be any flavour that can
establish a route to the target server for the data (ie currently the
Davis data server). So it can be cabled or wireless.
The demo that we have running currently is just behind a standard
office Draytek ADSL router but in principle anything appropriate
should be able to do the job, though obviously there might be some
practical details to sort out for more exotic hardware. To be clear,
you can't attach it directly to an ADSL-enabled phone line - there has
to be some sort of routing box that it plugs into, but any common and
inexpensive sort of modem/router providing an Internet connection
should suffice. If you're interested in any of the more technical
details then maybe contact me offline. Email address is valid.
