Hi, I'm running a Delphi embedded application that uses ActiveX controls from Global Majic and National Instruments. These units run in the field in remote areas but are often close to internet connections. We'd like to be able to have the units 'call home' if a user presses a specific button. (Touch Screen). This would send the local (and temporary) IP # of the unit to the head office so that a desktop could go out using a WEB browser to access the unit.
I'm thinking that I probably need to upgrade the embedded application to use .net controls for the graphical and dsp processing and make the user touch screen look and feel exactly as it does now with HTML pages instead. In this way it could become a server to anyone that asks. (Assuming password permissions of course). Running a browser on the desktop or inside the embedded app means that testing and development over Ethernet tcp/ip intranet house wouldn't really be any different than having the boxes connected via internet in two places on the globe. Comments? Suggestions. Alternative approaches?
