Networking technologies

A host is either a PC running a local Supervisor station or a remote controller running a remote station. The framework supports a PC running a Win32 or Win64–based operating system and a remote controller running the QNX operating system. Both operating systems provide industry-standard networking technologies.

The framework runs on these hosts:

A PC or laptop running Microsoft Windows, Linux, or Solaris using the HotSpot JVM.
An embedded JACE controller using the QNX operating system and the Oracle Hotspot Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

Networking technology	Use
Ethernet	Required to configure hosts (Supervisor PC and remote controller).
TCP/IP (IPv4/IPv6): QNX-based and Windows-based hosts	Required to configure hosts. TCP/IP use includes: IP Address (x.x.x.x) Subnet Mask Default Gateway.
DHCP: QNX-based and Windows-based hosts	Supported, however, most hosts require a static IP address to facilitate data communication.
DNS: DNS and Windows-based hosts	Supported in Windows-based and DNS-based hosts.
WINS: DNS and Windows-based hosts	Supported in Windows-based and DNS-based hosts.
DDNS: QNX-based and Windows-based hosts	The framework does not support DDNS in a JACE. You must use an external router or other device which supports DDNS.
Proxy Servers: QNX-based and Windows-based hosts	Communication via proxy servers is supported on all host operating systems.
Firewalls: QNX-based and Windows-based hosts	Hosts operate well in many firewall environments, provided that they are configured properly.
