The iChip range of products provide you with the easiest way to internet enable your products.

We have devices which will control your GSM modems, GPRS modems, dial-up, 10/100 Ethernet or even WLAN connections.

The devices work via simple AT commands, all authentication and services are handles by the iChip. Imagine adding TCP/IP, email and FTP functionality to an existing embedded application - using iChip, just add a few AT commands and the job's done!

We have provided an example setup for WLAN here - you will see how simple ASCII control can enable advanced internet functionality. WLAN Email example

TCP/IP Controllers

From the entry point, low cost CO110 through to the full-featured CO710 with WLAN support, we have solutions for all serial port to Internet applications. These products allow you to add Internet functionality to all products with the minimum of development time and hassle.

iWiFi Socket - WLAN to serial Internet Controller

A few AT commands allow your design to send email, complete an FTP transfer, or set up a TCP/IP socket. Now your microcontroller designs can connect to and perform full internet functions - even a PIC micro! For the fastest evaluation, we have a development kit available. Please contact our sales office to order samples, and for further information.

TCP/IP Starter Pack

The TDC TCP/IP Starter Pack, allows those who want to trial GPRS and connect to the Internet in PC or embedded applications to do so quickly and economically. GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) adds 'always on'
functionality to the existing TC35iT Terminal, making the new MC35iT.

iConnector™ is a small adaptor that enables installed devices to connect to the Internet. The Internet engine inside iConnector is Connect One’s firmware-based, remotely updateable iChip™ Internet Controller™, which stores the Internet protocol stack in flash memory. Simply install iConnector between your device and a wireless modem or data-enabled phone to Internet-enable your host device. Connect One’s AT+i™ protocol eliminates the need for Internet programming and minimises changes to the host application.

TDC's TCP/IP Starter Pack provides everything needed to get started, even down to the serial cable & antenna to evaluate GPRS 'out-of-the-box'. The MC35i is offered in the form of a plug-and-play terminal for simple integration in systems. The Starter Pack also includes a CD with manuals and
software.

The pack includes:

MC35i Terminal GPRS Module
iConnector adaptor
Power supply
9-pin serial cable
MRDEQ-2F antenna with 2m of RF cable
Software and documentation on CD
All you need to add is a network connected SIM (Phase II) and a PC.

iConnector

iC101 iConnector™ is a small adapter that enables installed devices to connect to the Internet via wireless modems and data-enabled phones that use AMPS, CDMA, GPRS, GSM, iDEN, and TDMA networks.

iConnector provides “Instant Internet™” connectivity for installed legacy devices by eliminating the need for any hardware modification to the host device. The Internet engine inside iConnector is Connect One’s firmware-based, remotely updateable iChip™ Internet Controller™, which stores the Internet protocol stack in flash memory. Simply install iConnector between your device and a wireless modem or data-enabled phone to Internet-enable your host device.

Connect One’s AT+i™ protocol eliminates the need for Internet programming
and minimizes changes to the host application. Connect One’s SerialNET™
mode completely eliminates the need for changes to the host application, as it is a direct serial-to-Internet port server.

iC101 plugs into the host device’s serial port via a male or female DB-9 connector. It connects to the modem/phone via a male DB-9 connector. iConnector may be powered through pin 9 of the DB-9 connector to the host device, or via an external power source.

iModem - iChip/Socket iChip Evaluation Platform
(Embedded iModem & Standalone iModem)

The Internet within your Reach
iModem™ brings Internet connectivity within reach of many applications that require messaging and run in low-resource, price-sensitive devices. iModem sends and receives data as E-Mail, or a Web page enabling any device to communicate over the Internet without connecting to a PC or a gateway server. It also enables the use of up to 10 UDP and TCP socket interfaces.

The iModem Internet Engine
The Internet Engine inside the Connect One™ iModem is iChip™ , a low-cost processor that runs PPP, UDP, TCP/IP, SMTP, POP3, MIME, FTP and HTTP protocols. All the protocols are remotely updateable via on-board SRAM and flash memory.

iModem communicates with the host processor via Connect One’s extension to the Hayes AT command set. Connect One’s AT+i™ protocol includes high level commands that simplify the development of an API between the host processor and iModem.

In Internet mode, iModem invokes the commands that run the Internet protocols. iModem then sends commands to dial, login, authenticate, communicate and sign off the ISP. iChip can be bypassed in standard mode, permitting direct communication between the host processor and the modem.

Stand-alone and Embedded Versions
The stand-alone iModem includes iChip, Conexant SocketModem™ or Multi-Tech's ModemModule™ , LEDs, loudspeaker, DC power supply, RJ-11C connector, a DB-9 connector for an RS-232 serial connection and an enclosure. The embedded version includes iChip on a carrier board (Socket iChip™ ) that is pin-compatible with an accompanying SocketModem or ModemModule. It supports a TTL or RS232 level serial interface to the host. It also provides control signals for LEDs and a loudspeaker, as well as TIP and RING signals from the phone line. Modem data rates range from 2,400 to 56k bytes.

Benefits
• Enables any device to send and receive data via the Internet
• Complete, ready-to-integrate Internet modem
• Fastest time-to-market to Internet-enable existing devices
• Remotely updateable firmware
• Embedded and stand-alone versions
• Pass-through mode for standard modem use

iLAN - iChip LAN Evaluation Platform

The Internet within Your Reach
Connect One’s iLAN™ brings Internet connectivity within reach of many low-resource, price-sensitive devices that require remote monitoring, diagnostics, management, data collection, and alerts. iLAN connects a device to the Internet via a direct connection from its RS-232 serial port to a 10BaseT Ethernet LAN.

A Complete Hardware and Software Solution
The Internet Engine inside iLAN is Connect One's iChip LAN™ , a low-cost Internet Controller™ that runs the ARP, IP, ICMP, UDP, TCP, DNS, DHCP, SMTP, POP3, MIME, HTTP and FTP protocols. Future versions will support 1 Mbps communication speeds, Telnet, and security features such as SSL and encryption. All the protocols are remotely updateable via the Internet or host connection. Up to 10 full-duplex TCP and UDP sockets can be opened simultaneously to run proprietary protocols or to manage streaming data for video
and audio. iLAN also includes Cirrus Logic's Crystal LAN™ ISA Ethernet Controller CS8900A. The host processor communicates with iLAN via Connect One’s high-level AT+i™ command set. The AT+i API requires writing just a few lines of code on the host processor to implement Internet and LAN connectivity.

Stand-alone and Embedded Solutions
The stand-alone iLAN includes iChip LAN, the Crystal LAN CS8900A, enclosure, LEDs, DB-9 connector for RS-232 serial host connection, and an RJ-45 connector for 10BaseT Ethernet. iChip LAN is available for OEMs that want to embed Ethernet connectivity and Internet protocol support into their products. iLAN also serves as the evaluation platform for iChip LAN.
