the standard Human Interface Module. In fact, one WIM could be installed on the door of an enclosure. A technician with a PocketPC with PocketDrive Explorer could have access from up to 32 feet away to every drive in the enclosure without being exposed to high voltage within it. One customer has a drive lineup on a mezzanine about 50 feet up. They had to rent a boom every time they wanted to go up and check the drives. Now, they just stand on the floor underneath and access them all. Some would ask why add a Bluetooth access at the drive since we already have Ethernet access. With one WIM, a user could have access to all the drives on the system through EtherNet/IP. You do have to implement some security. We have ‘pairing,’ that is, a PocketPC is paired once, then no one else can access or even see the devices.”
