== Requirements of Software ==

 * HTML node control
  * Turn on and off node via HTML address
 * UDP control
  * connect to CMC
  * periodically send status packets
  * self registration
  * commands issued and responded to over UDP
 * Watchdog timer
 * update over HTML command

== I2C protocol ==
The lantronix Xport AR does not come with a native I2C bus to the I2C communication between the node ID box and the hardware monitor chip (DS1780E) must be accomplished through bit-banging. The configuration of the CM is that of one master and two slaves (NodeID box and DS1780E).
