AJAX+SVG = AXIMCom Experience

It is always a technical challenge to design interactive and informative user interfaces in the embedded systems. The reason is, in terms of the computing resources, the embedded systems don't have as many resources as what PCs have. For example, the memory size, the storage size and the CPU clocks are the little portion of what PCs have. However, the user interfaces are the souls of the products. The user interfaces of AXIMCom products reflect the beautiful mixes of simplicity and functionality.

After a huge amount of the development efforts, the unique AXIMCom graphic user interfaces (GUIs) are featured in all of the AXIMCom products.


AXIMCom GUIs are mainly based on the following two technologies:

• AJAX

AJAX is a hot topic! But AJAX in the embedded systems is rare because of its high consumption of the computing resources! However, AJAX appears in all of the AXIMCom products! AJAX technology is used to provide the interactive information. For example, the real-time network traffic, the signals of the 3G USB modems and the storage usage are all displayed by AJAX technologies.

• SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)

SVG is an advanced feature of the modern web browsers. (For example, FireFox, Opera, and Google Chrome all support SVG. IE needs a SVG plugin.) It can render the high quality pictures inside the browsers. SVG is used by AXIMCom GUIs to provide the MRTG diagrams, the session diagrams and the traffic odometers.

With AJAX and SVG, users are usually impressed by AXIMCom when they first see the GUIs. Furthurmore, the interactive and informative GUI features bring users the whole new networking experiences.

Another thing we would like to address is AXIMCom GUIs are still evolving over time. Please kindly feedback to us. Any suggestions are highly appreciated!
