Benefits of a web server interface

• Many network enabled devices can just have a network interface

• Examples: modems / routers, IP cameras, printers...

• No need to develop drivers and applications for computers connected to the device. No need to support multiple operating systems!

• Just need to develop static or dynamic HTML pages (possibly with powerful client-side JavaScript). Easy way of providing access to device information and parameters.

• Reduced hardware costs (no LCD, very little storage space needed)
