Field server gateway: gateway box for field monitoring servers.
Takuji Kiura, T. Fukatsu, Masayuki Hirafuji, Mei Fangquan · 2002
The Field Monitoring Server (FieldServer, http://yummy.narc.affrc.go.jp/FieldServer) can provide us a massively distributed field-monitoring system for ubiquitous sensing, networking, and/or computing. FieldServer consists of tiny web sever, Analog-Digital and Digital-Analog converter, wireless Local Area Network (LAN) and sensors and camera. But FiledServer dose not have any large size storage device, dose not provide other internet service. For connecting FieldServer to the Internet and making it secure, we are developing Field Server Gateway that is a small Linux box with a HDD and a wireless LAN card or a Dialup connection. We can approach to many of problems of FieldServer using Field Server Gateway. But, the local security issues are still unsolved.
