Sensor
Remote applications send commands to the sensor through RDEP2. The remote client sends an RDEP2
control transaction to the sensor's Web Server, which passes it to the Control Transaction Server. The
Control Transaction Server passes the control transaction through IDAPI to the appropriate application,
waits for the application's response, and then returns the result.
