Note: The reason that we recommend using the DLL over direct driver access is that the
DLL automatically handles usage conflicts and abnormal application terminations.

Other Platforms


We are actively looking at supporting other platforms. In addition, we are happy to
provide additional technical information to support third party development of
compatible drivers. Contact

IMS NET (Wi-Fi)

This section assumes some familiarity with network programming and concepts. It is
beyond the scope of this document to cover this subject, but there are many, many, many
tutorials on the web. I am reluctant to link to any particular one because each
platform/development environment has its own peculiarities.

The OT-2 is the first Innovate product to natively support networking (via Wi-Fi). The
rest of this section explains some concepts, like discovery, that are intended for long term
support of future Innovate network based products and possible future changes to the
existing OT-2. Of course, we would prefer that you conform to these practices, but we
also understand that sometimes you need to get things working. So, if you are familiar
with network programming and are willing to deal with conflicts as they arise down the
road, here are the basic details for OT-2:
