MILPITAS, Calif./TOKYO, Japan �- (company press release) — Access Co. Ltd. today introduced its royalty-free AVE-HTTPD embedded web server as an optional module for the company�s popular AVE-TCP SDK, a TCP/IP networking software development kit. Envisioning the future of proliferating Internet appliances, Access is planning to address the industry�s challenge of effective networking and management… by this royalty-free, source-distributed embedded-web-server. This new compact embedded web server can be embedded in unattended devices such as printers, photocopiers, and vending machines so the unattended devices can be remotely controlled via an Internet browser.

“Internet capabilities are being built into a wide variety of devices to automate payment, stocking, and servicing,” stated Joe Leung, president of Access Systems America. “With our new AVE-HTTPD embedded web server technology, now these unattended machines easily can be remotely monitored.”

AVE-HTTPD is a full-featured, robust embedded web server designed to be employed under demanding 24/7 environments. The source code is provided in ANSI C code, which is extremely compact and highly portable. Its features include:

• HTTP 0.9, HTTP 1.0, HTTP 1.1 persistent connection, GET/HEAD/POST/PUT, CGI 1.1, JPEG, GIF, and Java applets.
  
• FORM data accessible from user CGI scripts.
  
• Access control and basic authentication for multiple clients.
  
• Remote device accessing, monitoring, updating and controlling from user applications; APIs for operations including server boot, shut down, and status check.
  
• Open APIs for high system expandability.
  
• Win32, ROM, and FAT (ATA) file systems support.

Developers can develop custom applications for the AVE-HTTPD server with the PC-based AVE-TCP software development kit. AVE-TCP, Access� TCP/IP networking module for embedded systems, has been employed in hundreds of designs over the past 13 years because of its reliability and performance. The AVE-HTTPD server comes with sample driver source code, test programs and documentation.

The AVE-HTTPD embedded web server module is available with AVE-TCP SDK version 3.1. The license is royalty free and is delivered in source code for easy user modification. Developers should contact Access for a free Windows demo package.
