Chapter 1 Introduction
Moxa UC-7402 is a web server embedded network computer that features dual 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet ports, a PCMCIA interface for wireless LAN communication, and CompactFlash for
mass storage disk expansion. UC-7402 is an excellent choice for embedded network applications
and diverse M2M solutions.
UC-7402 is a rugged, compact embedded computer that is designed for industrial applications.
Two key design features are the low power consumption and fanless operation, which together
ensure greater reliability and longer system life. The communication oriented functionality
includes both hardware and software. In fact, the software design is especially ideal for network
communication based applications, such as connecting to machines and other devices over a
network. UC-7402 provides real-time data access, a secure network gateway, and VPN router. The
built-in web server allows UC-7402 to be used as a web-enabled gateway to let users access
monitoring and control functions from anywhere on the network.
Because UC-7402 provides WLAN 802.11b/g connectivity, both wired and wireless networks can
be integrated into a system communication medium. Users can capture real-time data from the
network and aggregate it into the UC-7402 embedded web server, and convert data into various
standard data formats. Data can be buffered and then distributed to the proper web browser.
