WIFI-TO-SERIAL ENCAPSULATION IN SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a gateway at a location, wherein the gateway is coupled to a remote system; and
an interface device at the location, the interface device comprising a processor coupled to an interface module, a protocol module, and at least one communication device;
wherein the interface module comprises a data interface for interfacing with a processing component of a legacy system installed at a location, wherein the processing component uses a proprietary protocol for processing data of the legacy system,wherein the protocol module comprises a protocol corresponding to the proprietary protocol, wherein the interface module uses the protocol to exchange data with the processing component,wherein the at least one communication device communicates with at least one of the gateway and the remote system via at least one wireless channel, wherein the processor controls communications that comprise passing commands from the remote system to the legacy system, and passing event data of the legacy system to the remote system.

Abstract
Embodiments include a device comprising an interface module for interfacing with proprietary legacy systems. The interface module comprises a data interface for interfacing with a processing component of the legacy system, where the processing component uses a proprietary protocol for processing data of the legacy system. The interface module includes a protocol module that comprises a protocol corresponding to the proprietary protocol of the legacy system, and the interface module uses the protocol to exchange data with the processing component. The interface module includes a communication device that communicates with a remote system via a wireless channel. The interface module controls communications that include passing commands from the remote system to the legacy system, and passing event data of the legacy system to the remote system.
