Accessing SNAP Ethernet-Based I/O Units Over the Internet<br />
Since SNAP Ethernet-<strong>based</strong> I/O <strong>units</strong> are just like any other hardware on the Ethernet network,<br />
you can access them over the Internet in exactly the same way you would access a computer.<br />
The details depend on your network <strong>and</strong> Internet connection. Consult your system or network<br />
administrator or your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for more information.<br />
Special Notes for SNAP Ultimate I/O Units<br />
SNAP Ultimate I/O system architecture is explained in Chapter 2 of the SNAP Ethernet-<strong>based</strong> I/O<br />
Units User’s Guide. (If you haven’t already read this chapter, it’s a good idea to do so now before<br />
continuing.) As the chapter explains, the SNAP Ultimate brain h<strong>and</strong>les input/output processing<br />
<strong>and</strong> flowchart-<strong>based</strong> control on two “sides” of the brain, as illustrated below:<br />
Rack<br />
Recommended Alternate<br />
Brain<br />
I/O modules<br />
The rack is shown with the SNAP<br />
Ultimate brain on the left, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
input/output modules on the right.<br />
The modules on the rack connect<br />
with devices in the real world, such<br />
as the light bulb, to monitor or<br />
control them.<br />
The combination of rack, brain, <strong>and</strong><br />
modules shown in the illustration is<br />
referred to as an I/O unit.<br />
