The LonBridge Server provides the following key features:

any client operating system or processor
• Supports multiple, simultaneous clients

® , Windows XP, or Linux hosts
The LonBridge API provides a simple TCP/IP socket interface that you can use
directly as a bridge to a L ON W ORKS network. The LonBridge API supports
development of UI and controller applications that can run on Windows or Linux
platforms. The API consists of a simple set of extensible markup language (XML)
elements that describe L ON W ORKS devices and actions for those devices.
