1.0 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Cypress Envirosystems Blue Box Server (BBS), a core component of the
Cypress Envirosystems Monitoring System. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the BBS.
2.0 Safety Precautions
• Do not expose the BBS to water.
• Do not try to repair yourself as it contains no user-serviceable parts. Contact a qualified service
technician for repairs. See Section 10.0, Support, for details.
3.0 Description of BBS
The Cypress Envirosystems Blue Box Server, BBS, is a flexible industrial server that collects wireless data
from various Cypress Envirosystems field devices and enables access to the readings from a variety of user
interfaces. The BBS can be used as part of an overall existing infrastructure or as a stand alone station.
Figure 1. Blue Box Server
Through industry standard protocols, the data can be connected to your existing plant systems. The data
can also be viewed from any computer on the intranet using a standard web browser.
Cypress Envirosystems
Doc # 152-10201-01 Rev 2.0 BBS User Manual Page 5
3.1 Cypress Envirosystems Monitoring System
The Cypress Envirosystems Blue Box Server is part of the Cypress Envirosystems Monitoring System. This
system can be setup one of two ways:
Figure 2. Cypress Envirosystems Monitoring System Setup Options
For users with existing plant databases and operator stations, the BBS can forward data seamlessly
integrating with existing plant SCADA or IT infrastructure. This can be accomplished using a variety of
open communication protocols (e.g. OPC, BACnet, web services). This configuration is depicted above as
Option A.
For users who do not need to connect to an existing infrastructure, the BBS can also serve as a standalone
Web Server and Text Message Server, shown as Option B. Standard PC workstations can become
operator stations simply by using any standard web browser. Alarm notifications can be sent via email or
SMS to cell phones.
3.2 Related Products
Blue Box Servers can be used to communicate with the following Cypress Envirosystems field devices:
• Wireless Gauge Readers (WGRs)

5.0 Web Console
The Cypress Envirosystems Web Console is a browser-based program that enables you to remotely
monitor, configure, and review data from wireless field devices. This section explains how to read and edit
data points, set up alerts and notifications, graph and export data, and troubleshoot common problems.
5.1 Starting the Program and General Navigation
To start the Cypress Envirosystems Web Console, open a Web browser and type in the IP address or name
of the Blue Box Server and click Enter.
Figure 5. Cypress Envirosystems Web Console Main Menu Bar
Once the web page loads, the application opens to the
READINGS
page (by default), where you can find
information on every data point, or node, in the system.
At the top of the
READINGS
page and every page in the application is a Main Menu bar with tabs that
enable you to navigate through the different pages in the program. The BBS may be set up to receive
data from multiple types of field devices. If so, there the various field devices will have their own pages.
See Figure 6 below.
Figure 6. Cypress Envirosystems Web Console Main Menu Bar
5.2 Readings Page
The
READINGS
page enables you to check the summary of node readings. It also provides other detailed
information, such as the time of the reading, as well as the upper and lower control limits and the status
of a particular node. Figure 7 below shows a sample
WGR AND WTR READINGS
page.

5.2.1 Get Node Readings
To check your node readings, click on
READINGS
in the Main Menu. The
READINGS
page appears with the
following information:
• Timestamp: Time when the last reading was taken. This time is based on the BBS system clock.
• NodeID: Identification number that your service representative originally assigns to a node.
• Description: A brief description of the node, for example, “Emergency Generator” or “Water Inlet
Pressure.”
• Reading: Most recent reading taken from the node. Your service representative configures the
update rate when the system is installed.
• Units: Unit of measurement that applies to the reading.
• LCL: Lower control limit. When a node reading falls below this value, the systems signals an alert.
(See Section 5.6, Setting Up the Alarm)
• UCL: Upper control limit. When a node reading rises above this value, the system signals an alert.
(See Section 5.6, Setting Up the Alarm)
• Status: Indicates the status of the node, for example, whether it is okay, inactive, or below or above
acceptable limits. Values are: OK, Inactive, Error, Lower Ctl Limit, Upper Ctl Limit.

shows the signal strength of the last hop for each node.
Figure 20. Battery and Signal Strength Stauts
5.6 Alarms
One of the benefits of Cypress Envirosystems Web Console is it immediately alerts you to potential
problems as they arise in your facility. The system triggers an alarm when a node reading climbs above an
upper control limit, drops below a lower control limit, or the battery level goes below 70%. When an
alarm is triggered, two things happen:
• The Alarm Status button turns red.
• The system sends out alerts via SMS text message and optionally email to everyone on the
notification list.
You must have a device that is capable of receiving SMS text messages in order to receive a text alarm.
Also keep in mind that once an alarm is triggered, you need to reset it before the system can send you
another.
5.6.1 Configure Alarm Notifications
Alarm notifications alert you via text message and optionally email. Before setting up the notifications go
into the
CONFIGURATION
page and do the following:
Cypress Envirosystems
Doc # 152-10201-01 Rev 2.0 BBS User Manual Page 28
1. Check the SMS Alarm box for the nodes you want to monitor.
This tells the system to send you an email or text message only when these particular nodes go into
an alarm state.
2. Enter a value for AlarmCtrl Limit.
Small fluctuations can cause readings to spike. This value sets the consecutive number of times a
reading exceeds a limit before the system triggers an alarm.
Once those values are set, follow these steps to configure the system:
1. Click SITE
SETTINGS in the Main Menu.
Dialog box appears asking for a user name and password. If you entered the user name and password
in the last 20 minutes to access another page, you do not need to re-enter it here.
2. Enter the admin user name and password, and click Log In.
For Blue Box Servers that do not have an internet connection can be set up to send email ONLY
alarms using the local SMTP server. To use the local SMTP server, select the “Use Local SMPT Server
for Email Alarms” Check box and fill in the appropriate SMPT info.
Figure 21. You can change the name that appears in the right side of the menu bar and you can
configure your server to send emails via the local SMTP Server
3. For Blue Box Servers that require a manual proxy server to connect to the internet, proxy server
information may be entered in the “Proxy Server” text field. NOTE: not all networks require a manual
proxy server to get internet access.
4. In the “Recipients SMS Phone Numbers for Alarm Notification” box, enter a phone number, name,
and email address, shown in Figure 22 below.
Note, the phone number is a required field, so you cannot leave it blank. You must also include an
area code and a “1” prefix.
5. Click Add.
System saves the data. The information displays below the dialog box.
6. Repeat steps 6 & 7 to add additional names.
You can set up the system to send alerts to several people.
7. Click Edit or Delete next to an entry to make changes.
By clicking edit, you can edit field directly.
8. Click Update to save the changes.

Figure 29. Sample Node Graph
When graphing multiple nodes, the legend will have the nodes listed from the highest reading value to
lowest readings value. These values will be based on the first displayed value.
To improve graphing performance, individual values may be removed for very large sets of data. To
ensure all points are graphed, the user may need to adjust Start Date and End Date.
5.10.2 Identify a Point
To find what value a point is at on the graph, click on a point. The node ID number, the timestamp, and
the value display on the top left corner of the graph.
5.10.3 Zoom
To zoom, hold down the left-click button on a point and drag the point. Release the left-click and the
program zooms onto the point. Scroll left or right, and the system automatically scales the Y axis. By
default, zooming occurs in the X direction only. To zoom in on the Y axis, the user must select “Y-Axis
Zoom”.
5.11 Using Tables to Export Data

6.0 OPC Interface
To interface to existing plant infrastructure, the BBS can communicate via industry standard OPC. The
OPC Server is visible to OPC Clients as WGR.OPC.1.
The following OPC tags are available:
• WGRNodeID: The configured field device NodeID
• WGRReading: field device reading
• WGRUnit: Reading unit type (e.g. PSI, C, F)
• WGRBatteryStatus: Battery status reading (%)
• WGRTemperature: Internal temperature reading (C)
• WGRRSSI: Received Signal Strength Indicator (max = 31)
• WGRTimestamp: Timestamp when the data arrived
• WGRFriendlyName: WGR device friendly name
The OPC interface is an option that must be enabled by your service representative. Please contact them
for further details.
7.0 Care and Maintenance
The database is backed up on a routine basis. Please contact your service representative for further
details.
The Blue Box Server should be treated as an industrial PC. Please contact your corporate IT group to
install and maintain anti-virus software or to configure the firewall as needed.
8.0 Troubleshooting
I get an error message when I try and enter an email address into the SMS Alert.
Phone number is a required field. If you do not enter a phone number first, the system does not accept
the input.
The system is not saving my changes.
Anytime you make a change, you need to click on “Update” to keep the changes or else the system
reverts back to the old settings.
I am not able to create a graph. When I click, “Show Graph,” nothing happens.
Generally, this means no data was available. Check your start and end time to make sure that it includes
data.
Sometimes the system asks me to enter an administrative password, and other times it doesn’t.
You must enter a password to access the SMS ALARM page and the CONFIG NODE page. If you enter the
password for one page, you do not need to enter it again until 20 minutes has passed.
The readings on the server do not match the readings on the device.
The readings are based on a percentage of full scale determined from the “MinValue” and “MaxValue”. If
the “MinValue” and “MaxValue” are not set up correctly on the WGR or BBS, the “Reading” value may be
incorrect.
If you have additional problems, please contact us. See Section 10.0, Support, for details.
