Refer to the CE Approvals Section.
EMC Considerations
• Whenever EMC is an issue, always use shielded cables.
• Never run signal and power wires in the same conduit.
• Use twisted-pair wires for signal connections.
• Install Ferrite Bead(s) on signal wires close to the instrument if EMC problems persist.
Failure to follow all instructions and warnings may result in injury!
1.2 Before You Begin
Inspecting Your Shipment: Remove the packing slip and verify that you have received
everything listed. Inspect the container and equipment for signs of damage as soon as
you receive the shipment. Note any evidence of rough handling in transit. Immediately
report any damage to the shipping agent. The carrier will not honor damage claims
unless all shipping material is saved for inspection. After examining and removing the
contents, save the packing material and carton in the event reshipment is necessary.
Customer Service: If you need assistance, please contact the Customer Service
Department nearest you.
Manuals, Software: The latest Operation Manual as well as free software and iServer
Mail Notifier are available at the website listed on the cover page of this manual or
on the CD-ROM enclosed with your shipment.
1.3 Description
View Temperature + Barometric Pressure with a Web Browser. The iServer let’s you
monitor and record Temperature and Barometric Pressure over an Ethernet network or
the Internet with no special software except a Web browser. The iServer serves Active
Web Pages to display real time readings and display charts of temperature and
barometric pressure, or log data in standard data formats for use in a spreadsheet or
data acquisition program such as Excel or Visual Basic.
Adjustable Charts. The Java™ Applet chart scales are fully adjustable on the fly. For
example, the chart can display one day, one week, one month or one year. Temperature
and barometric pressure can be charted across the full span (0-70ºC) or within any
narrow range (such as 20-30ºC). Barometric pressure can be displayed in hectopascals
(hPa), millimeters of Mercury (mmHg), or inches of Mercury (inHg).
2
Award-winning Technology. The iServer is simple to install and use. It features award
winning technology that requires no special software except a Web browser. The iServer
connects to an Ethernet Network with a standard RJ45 connector and sends data in
standard TCP/IP packets. It is easily configured with a simple menu using a Web browser
and can be password protected. From within an Ethernet LAN or over the Internet, the user
simply types its IP address or an easy to remember name such as "Cleanroom 5" or
"Midwest Server Room" in any Web Browser, and the iServer serves a Web Page with the
current readings. The iServer comes complete with one temperature/barometric pressure
wand probe, full documentation and software.
Alarms and Email. If temperature and/or barometric pressure exceeds a set limit, the
iServer can trigger an alarm that could be sent by email to an Internet enabled pager or
cell phone.
A standard web browser can be used to monitor and chart temperature and barometric
pressure. The browser can also be used to configure the device’s IP address, passwords
for access and overall configuration parameters. An iLD Big Display can display
temperature and barometric pressure received from an iServer over the Ethernet or the
Internet.
The following example illustrates how you can hookup an iServer and iLD to your
network:

PART 2 HARDWARE
2.1 Mounting
Position unit where required. Mark and drill
holes as required.
If unit is to be mounted on a flat
surface, you may take the bottom
rubber feet off the unit.
It is recommended that you
ground your unit by wrapping a
wire around the mounting tab
screw and tightening a lock
washer so that it embeds itself
into the metal of the mounting tab.
Or
by connecting a wire to the
Return/Ground position of the
relay connector, see Figure 2.7.

2.2 DIP Switches
The iServer is shipped with all DIP
switches in "OFF" position.
DIP
Switch Usage
1) N/C - not used
2) To change to default
factory settings
3) To enable/disable DHCP
4) N/C - not used
To set the iServer to factory default
settings, slide DIP switch #2 to ON
position. Power the iServer on and
wait about 10 seconds until the
iServer fully boots up. Set the DIP
switch #2 back to OFF position (it
does not matter if the iServer is
powered ON or OFF, just make
sure that the DIP switch is set to
OFF, otherwise, every time the unit
is power-cycled the factory
settings will take over.
To enable the DHCP, slide DIP
switch #3 to ON position and
power the unit on. Besides using
DIP switch #3 you can enable
DHCP by settting the iServer’s IP
address to 0.0.0.0. An iServer
with IP address of 0.0.0.0 will
request an IP address, gateway
address, and subnet mask from
the DHCP server over the
Ethernet.

2.5 Network Communication Interfaces
2.5.1 10Base-T RJ-45 Pinout
The 10BASE-T Ethernet network (RJ45)
system is used in the iServer for network
connectivity. The 10 Mbps twisted-pair
Ethernet system operates over two pairs
of wires. One pair is used for receiving
data signals and the other pair is used
for transmitting data signals. This means
that four pins of the eight-pin connector
are used.
2.5.2 10Base-T Crossover Wiring
When connecting the iServer directly to the computer’s
network port, the transmit data pins of the computer
should be wired to the receive data pins of the iServer,
and vice versa. The 10Base-T crossover cable with pin
connection assignments are shown below.
Use straight through cable for connecting the
iServer to an Ethernet hub. The ports on the
hub are already crossed.
2.6 Relay Wiring Connections
To access the Relay Connector you must remove the
cover, refer to Section 2.4.
It is recommended that you ground your unit
by connecting a wire to the Ground/Return
position of the relay connector. Or
by wrapping
a wire around the mounting tab screw and
tightening a lock washer so that it embeds
itself into the metal of the mounting tab.
2.7 Running on Battery Power
The battery and S5 jumper are installed: if there is a power outage the iServer board will be
fully functional including the LCD backlight “ON” for approximately 1 hour. You need to make
sure that the LCD/PWR field on the Configuration page of the iServer is set to UPS (see
Section 4.3.5.F)
Battery installed and S5 jumper in storage position (Factory Default): if there is a power
outage the LCD Backlight and iServer Ethernet board will not run, but
the unit will be
collecting and storing data for approximately 10 days.
When you first connect the battery, without the AC power adaptor, the unit will be in “Sleep
Mode”, in order to save power, and the LCD will display “Flash Standby” (provided that S5
jumper is not installed). When battery is installed, plug the AC adaptor into unit and push the
Flash Reset Button (refer to Figure 2.3 or Figure 2.4). Unit is now ready to be configured for
recording the data. Also, if the AC adaptor is unplugged after configuring the unit, it will be
ready for recording data.
If you want to move the unit to a different location, remove AC adaptor and press the
Flash Reset button. Repeat the steps in the above paragraph.

PART 3
NETWORK CONFIGURATION
3.1 Network Protocols
The iServer can be connected to the network using standard TCP/IP protocols.
It also supports ARP, HTTP (WEB server), DHCP, DNS and Telnet protocols.
3.2 Ethernet (MAC) Address
MAC (Media Access Control) address is your computer's unique hardware number.
When you're connected to the LAN from your computer, a correspondence table relates
your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address. The MAC address can be
found on a label attached to your device and contains 6 bytes (12 characters) of
hexadecimal numbers XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX hex
For example: 0A:0C:3D:0B:0A:0B
Remove the small label with the default IP address and there will be room to put
your IP address. See Figure 3.1
Figure 3.1 Labeling
9
3.3 DHCP
DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol enables individual computers or devices to
extract their IP configurations from a server (DHCP server). If the DHCP is enabled on
your iServer, as soon as the iServer is connected to the network, there is an exchange of
information between DHCP server and the iServer. During this process the IP address,
the Gateway address, and the Subnet Mask will be assigned to the iServer by the DHCP
server. Note that the DHCP server must be configured correctly to do such assignment.
If fixed or static IP address is desired, the DHCP must be disabled. The iServer is
shipped with DHCP disabled (factory default). The DHCP can be enabled by setting the
DIP switch # 3 to the “ON” position (refer to Figure 3.2).
Figure 3.2 DIP Switch on the Bottom Side of iServer
3.4 DNS
DNS, Domain Name System enables individual computers and devices to be recognized
over a network based on a specific name instead of an IP address. For example, instead
of having to use http://192.168.1.200 (IP address), you would use only http://eis03ec or
any eight character name stored as Host Name under the Access Control page in the
iServer Home Page. The default DNS name for an iServer is "eis" followed by the last
four digits of the MAC address of that particular iServer.
1. It is very important to communicate with the network administrator in order to
understand the DHCP and its existing configurations on the host server,
before enabling the DHCP on the iServer.
2. The iServers are shipped with a default static IP address of
192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.
3. On Novell networks or Windows 2000 Server where the DCHP is an updated
function of DNS, this feature may be beneficial since a particular name can
be assigned eliminating the need for the IP address, as described in
Section 3.4.
3.5 IP Address
Every active device connected to the TCP/IP network must have a unique IP address.
This IP address is used to build a connection to the iServer. Every computer using
TCP/IP should have a unique 32-bit address. It is divided into two portions, the network
ID and the host ID. For instance, every computer on the same network uses the same
network ID. At the same time, all of them have a different host ID. For more details about
the IP address see Appendix B.
DIP switch # 3 shown
in “ON” position
To enable the DHCP, slide DIP switch #3 to ON position and power the unit on.
Besides using DIP switch #3 you can enable DHCP by settting the iServer’s IP
address to 0.0.0.0. An iServer with IP address of 0.0.0.0 will request an IP address,
gateway address, and subnet mask from the DHCP server over the Ethernet

3.5.1 Default IP Address
The iServer is shipped with a default IP address set to 192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask
of 255.255.255.0. If you are going to use a Web browser or Telnet program to access
the iServer using its default IP address, make sure that the PC from which you’re
establishing the connection has an IP address that is in the same range as the iServer’s
IP address (192.168.1.x, where x can be any number from 1 to 254.
Your PC’s IP address cannot
be the same as the iServer’s IP address).
You also need to make sure that your PC’s Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. This is a
good way to access the iServer over the network and make any configuration changes
needed. If 192.168.1.200 is already in use on your network, use an Ethernet crossover
cable between your computer and the iServer to change the IP address or any other
settings within the iServer.
3.6 Port Number
All TCP connections are defined by the IP address and a port number. A port number is
an internal address that provides an interface between an application running on your
computer and the network through the TCP/IP protocol.
There are three default TCP socket port numbers assigned to the iServer:
1. Port (socket) number 1000 when using HTTPGET program.
2. Port (socket) number 2000 when trying to access the sensor (probe) connected to
the port of the iServer to receive ASCII data.
3. Port (socket) number 2002 when trying to access the iServer itself for Power
Recycling the iServer remotely. This can be done using Windows standard Telnet
application.
Power recycling the iServer can also be done through the iServer’s Web Server (see
Section 4.2).
Telnet stands for Telecommunications Network, is a protocol that provides a way for
users (or clients) to connect to computers (or servers) on a network, whether in the next
building or across the world.
Example: C:\>Telnet 192.168.1.200 2002
You will then get the following screen.
Figure 3.3 Telnet Login into the iServer
You can open a Telnet session using other terminal emulation programs like Tera Term
Pro (downloadable from the internet), which is a free software for MS-Windows. It
supports VT100 emulation, Telnet connection and serial com port connections.

PART 4
OPERATIONS
This iServer can be used and configured in several ways, depending on user’s
preference and network setup. It can be configured using a Web browser, like Netscape
or Internet Explorer. It can also be configured using NEWPORT’s iCONNECT
Configuration Software.
If DHCP and DNS servers are used, the connection is very simple, no need to find the
right IP address or watch for network conflicts, these are all done for you by your network
DHCP and DNS server. All that is left for you to do, is to enable DHCP on the iServer (see
Section 2.2) and use a straight network cable to connect the iServer to a hub and power
it up.
If DHCP is not the preferred method, you can configure your PC’s network connection with
an IP address of 192.168.1.x that is in the same range as the iServer’s default IP address
(192.168.1.200) and connect to the iServer using a cross-over network cable between your
PC’s network port and the iServer. After you’re done with configuring the iServer, you can
always set your PC back to its original settings.
On your computer, from the MS-DOS Prompt window type "ping 192.168.1.200” and
press Enter. If DHCP and DNS servers are used type “ping eisxxxx”, where xxxx are the
last four digits of the iServer’s MAC address, located on the back of the device. You should
get a reply as shown in Figure 4.1.
4.0 Testing the Connection
Figure 4.1 Pinging the iServer from MS-DOS Prompt
This proves that the connection is proper and you can get into configuration or run mode
using the Telnet or Web browser.

4.1 iCONNECT Software
The iServer may also be assigned an IP Address by using the iCONNECT software.
a) Download the iCONNECT software from the website listed in this manual.
b) Install iCONNECT software on a networked PC. This software is compatible with
Windows 95, NT, 2000, and XP.
c) Use iCONNECT to assign an IP address to the iServer and access its web pages
for configuration. You can also use any standard web browser to access the
iServer’s web pages. Consult with your IT department for obtaining an IP address.
Figure 4.2 Assigning an IP Address using iCONNECT
d) To access the iServer for Configuration:
Click on the “View Webpage” button, you will access the iServer’s home page, refer to
Section 4.3 for details.
Figure 4.3 Accessing the iServer’s Home Page Menu
Place the IP address in this box
Take the MAC address from the
label attached to the bottom of
the iServer and place it in this
box
Click here to send the above IP
address to the iServer
After the IP address is assigned
to the iServer, click here to
access it’s web pages
13
4.2 Setting a New IP Address over the Network
Besides using the iCONNECT software, you may use the iServer’s default IP address to
access it and assign a new IP address to it.
The iServer is shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of
255.255.255.0. You can configure your PC’s Network connection with an IP address that
is in the same range as the iServer’s IP address (192.168.1.x) and connect to the iServer
using a crossover network cable between your PC and the iServer.
With this completed, you can go to the DOS-Prompt and ping 192.168.1.200. If you
receive responses back (Figure 4.1), you can go to a Web browser and type in
http://192.168.1.200 and it will take you to the iServer’s main web page.
Select
,
button, you’ll be asked for the password. The default LOGIN
password is "12345678" and the ADMINISTRATOR password is "00000000", then you
should be on the Access Control page were you can simply type in the desired Static IP
address, and click Save.
Figure 4.4 Access Control
For the IP address to take effect, the iServer needs to be turned OFF/ON. Clicking the
“Power Recycle” button will turn the iServer OFF and ON. Pressing the physical button
marked “RESET” on the iServer does the same thing.
You can now connect the iServer to an Ethernet hub using a straight through cable,
power it up, and follow the ping routine mentioned in the previous section.

computer and the iServer product. (Generally, select "Direct Connection" if
accessing iServers on your local network and select "Use Browser Settings"
option for access from your internal network to the internet.)
5. Refresh or restart the webpage.
4.3.1.3 Browser Proxy Selection
Accessing iServer units within your internal network
• Usually when the computer and iServer are on an internal network, you will not use Proxy
server access.
• You should un-check the "Use Browser Settings" option on the "Proxy" tab.
Accessing iServer units using the internet
• Often the web browser will use Proxy server access to the internet. In such cases, the
default Java runtime settings on the "Proxy" tab should suffice. The default setting is the
"Use Browser Settings" option.
• If the default proxy setting doesn't work, then you may have a situation where the proxy
settings of the web browser are incorrect.
Diagnostics:
If the web page of the iServer appears, then the HTTP Proxy is working fine.
If the data isn't updated on the iServer upon selecting the Read Sensor web page, there may be
a problem with access through a winsock proxy server. In such cases your network
administrator will need to provide the winsock proxy server and port #s. (If the administrator
requires knowledge of the port # required on the iServer, the value is 2003).
These values should be entered into the Socks line on the "Proxy" tab (of the Java Plugin
control panel) or into the "connections" tab on the View,Internet Options dialog and make sure
that the Proxy tab shows that the "Use Browser Settings" option is not selected (i.e. when you
specify proxy connections in the Java Plugin control panel.
Accessing iServer units over Peer-to-Peer network
A simple peer-to-peer network is setup by disconnecting from the main network (as users will
often do when trying to do initial setup of the iServer) and then connecting the iServer to another
computer using a ethernet hub, an ethernet switch, or a Cross-over cable connection.
Often when using a peer-to-peer network, the Java plugin and the web browser (such as
Internet Explorer) have internet connections configured to connect through proxy servers. In
such case, you will need to simply assign the final IP address on this peer to peer network and
then view the iServer charts after connecting the iServer into the regular network. Otherwise you
can disable the Java plug-in's "Use Browser Settings" temporarily and then reconfigure the Java
plug-in settings for regular network access after testing the iServer chart access on your peerto-peer network.
The "Use Browser Settings" should not be selected. And the HTTP and Socks proxy entries
should be blank. Also, setup the internet browser so that proxy servers are disabled.

4.3.4 Access Control
This section describes the "Access Control" page of the iServers’s Web interface. This
page allows the users to set up the network and security parameters of the iServer.
At the initial entrance to the “Access Control” page you will be prompted for the LOGIN
Password (see Figure 4.6) prior to an ADMINISTRATOR Password.
Figure 4.10 Access Control
Login Password: This allows users to access and modify all of the iServer Home Page
menu items, except “Access Control”, which requires an Administrator password. The
default Login password is 12345678. This password can be up to 16 alpha-numeric casesensitive characters. If there is no Login Password assigned (blank box) the iServer will
not require a password to access and modify iServer Home page menu items.
Admin (administrator) Password: This allows users to access and modify the "Access
Control" page. The default password is 00000000. This password can be up to 16 alphanumeric case-sensitive characters. If there is no Administrator Password assigned (blank
box) the iServer will not require password to access and modify "Access Control" page.
Host Name: Refer to Section 3.4, DNS.
MAC Address: This is also called Hardware address or Ethernet address, which is
assigned to the iServer at production. The MAC (Media Access Control) address is the
iServer’s unique hardware number and is not changeable.
IP Address: The IP (Internet Protocol) address is a 32-bit number that identifies each
sender or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the Ethernet or the Internet.
The iServer’s default IP address is 192.168.1.200. The iServer’s IP address should be
changed to fit user’s networking environment. Consult with your IT department for
obtaining an IP address.
Gateway Address: A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another
network. A gateway is often associated with a router, which knows where to direct a given
packet of data that arrives at the gateway. If the iServer is sending packets to another
network node that is not on the same network on which the iServer is connected, a
gateway address needs to be given to the iServer. The gateway address should be the IP
address of the router connected to the same LAN to which the iServer is connected. The
iServer’s default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. Consult with your IT department for obtaining
a gateway address.
Subnet Mask: It is a 32-bit number that is used to determine which part of the IP address
is the network portion and which part is the host portion. The iServer’s default subnet mask
is 255.255.255.0. Consult with your IT department for obtaining a subnet mask.
Power Recycle: Clicking this button will reset the power on the iServer.
The DHCP can be enabled by
setting the dip switch number 3
to ON position.
Changes made in the iServer’s
Access Control page can be
saved permanently by pressing

4.3.5 Configuration
Setting up the Flash Memory Card can be done in the Configuration page. From the
Home Page Menu click on to get to the page (see Figure 4.11).
General Description of the Configuration page: There are two general sections “Flash
Card Memory” and “Server”. Flash Card Memory consists of the following titles: Real
Time Clock (RTC), Title, Alarm Setup, and Flash Recording. Server consists of Terminal
Server and Remote Access.
Title and Flash Recording selections can be editted once by selecting “Activation StartRecord” and after that, no modification will take place unless recording is stopped
(the reason for this is to be compliant with the data logging rules). The remaining
parameters can be changed during recording as explained below.
There are several scenarios depending on the state of the Flash Card and the Real Time
Clock (RTC):
#1) RTC is not set and Flash Card is empty.
All the fields must be updated exactly according to the indicated format, “Adjust RTC
Only” check box must be left unchecked, “Activation” selection must set to
“StartRecord” and click the “Update” button. Having done this, it is recommended to
select “Configuration” from “Activation” drop down window, click the “Update” button,
set the “Activation” to “Status/RTC/Alarm” and click the “Update” button one more
time to review/verify that the setup took place as it was intended.
#2) RTC is set, and recording is in progress.
The only possible setups are to update “Date” and “Time” of the Real Time Clock
along with checking “Adjust RTC Only” box. Also, alarms can be updated provided
that “Activation” is set to “Status/RTC/Alarm”. Otherwise, the recording has to be
stopped by selecting “StopRecord” of the “Activation” drop down window prior to
modifying the Flash Card setup. An alternative way to stop recording is to push
Standby Button (refer to Figure 2.3) of the unit.
#3) RTC is set, recording is stopped, and Flash Card is not empty.
This means that a pre-recorded Flash Card is installed, and by activating the chart the
archived data can be viewed (Refer to Figure 4.8). The chart has the following
selections:
1 Minute, 1 Day, 1 Week, 1 Month, 1 Year
In other words, they are the last specified selection e.g. 1 Day means the last day of
the recorded data. Having done the selection, the “Archives_Enable” button must be
clicked, which will then change to “Archives_Done” and the data will be retrieved
accordingly. Also, the corresponding Start and End dates will reflect the respective
time duration e.g. refer to Figure 4.8 which is the last 1 Day, the dates are:
02/20/2004 09:42:10 to 02/21/2004 09:42:10.
#4) RTC is not set and the Flash Card is not empty.
This is similiar to item 3) above except that at the power-up the installed Flash Card
was not empty. Or, the Flash Card Reset Button (refer to Figure 2.3) was pushed.

If the battery is not connected or the voltage is low, the statement “Low Battery” will be
added to the above statements. You may also see a statement “Archive Busy” if another
client is busy receiving archive data. In this case, refrain from activating the applet, instead
keep clicking the Update button and make sure “Activation” is set to “Status/RTC/Alarm”
until the “Archive Busy” statement is no longer displayed.
E) Alarm Setup: There are two alarms which can be assigned to temperature or barometric
pressure.
Alarm Type: Selection of Temperature (T) or Barometric Pressure (B) and Above
Setpoint (Hi) or Below Setpoint (Lo):
T&T:Hi/Lo T&B:Hi/Lo T&B:Hi/Hi
B&B:Hi/Lo T&B:Lo/Hi T&B:Lo/Lo No Alarm
Example: If T&T:Hi/Lo is selected, the temperature will be monitored against these two Hi
and Lo values. If temperature goes above Hi value, Relay 1 will be energized, and if
temperature goes below Lo value Relay 2 will be energized.
Alarm Enabled:
Selections of “Latched ” or “Unlatch” are available. If “Unlatch” is selected, the
relay in the iServer will be turned on (closed) when the temperature and/or barometric pressure
values fall outside of Setpoint range. When the temperature and/or barometric pressure values
are back within the range, the relay will be turned off (opened).
If “Latched” is selected, the relay in the iServer will be turned on (closed) when the temperature
and/or barometric pressure values fall outside of Setpoint range and will remain on until the user
turns it off.
SP1 and SP2
: Editable box for Setpoint values. The format is nnn.n, it must be followed
exactly otherwise the modification will not take place for any modified item in the Alarm Setup.
22
F) Flash Recording
T
itle: Editable field with up to 16 characters long. The given name will display as a title on
the Chart and Read Sensor pages either for the real-time data or the stored data.
Sensor Unit:
The unit of temperature either in degree Fahrenheit F or degree Celcius C for
each type of barometric pressure unit hPa, inHg or mmHg..
LCD/PWR
: The selections are “ON ”, “OFF ”, and “UPS”. Selecting “OFF” will cause the
LCD to turn off during a power outage, provided the battery is connected. The current
consumption is about 1.5mA or 3mA depending on “OFF ” or “ON ” selection respectively.
If recording is “ON “, depending on the recording interval, the LCD will be updated every
10 seconds or 1 minute. Therefore, when the LCD is set to “ON ”, it could take some time
before the LCD is turned on. If recording is not “ON “, the LCD will be updated every 10
seconds.
Selecting “UPS” puts the iServer into full operational mode when it’s running on the battery
(S5 jumper needs to be installed, see Section 2.4 and 2.7). This means that in case of
power outage, sensing, recording, LCD display, and network communication capabilities of
the iServer will all operate on the battery. Due to heavy power consumption the battery will not
last more than an hour.
T
ype
: The selections are: “Limited”, “Wrap”, or “Nonwrap”.
Limited: You must define the Start Date and Time, and End Date and Time in which
you need the recording to be done.
Wrap: You only need to define the Start Date and Time. The iServer will record data
until the Flash is full, then the iServer will continue to record and overwrite the existing
data.
Nonwrap: You only need to define the Start Date and Time. The iServer will record
data until the Flash is full, then the iServer will stop recording.
Interval
: The recording interval at which the temperature or barometric pressure is being
stored into the Flash Card. The selections are “10 seconds“ and “1 minute“.
Activation:
The selections are “Status/RTC/Alarm”, “StartRecord ”, “Configuration”, and
“StopRecord ”. Refer to previous scenarios #1 and #2 at the beginning of this Section
4.3.5 for more details.
Status/RTC/Alarm: Select “Configuration” and “Status/RTC/Alarm”, each followed by
clicking the Update button to retrieve the latest recording settings. By selecting
“Status/RTC/Alarm” only, followed by clicking the “Update” button the iServer will report
back all the settings, but the “Recording” settings.
StartRecord: Select to initiate a recording.
Configuration: Select to retrieve the latest recording settings, followed by
“Status/RTC/Alarm” option.
StopRecord: Select to stop an ongoing recording.
Reset: Selecting this option will reset the flash memory, LCD, recording sections, and
the Ethernet connection to a fresh start. It is suggested to select “Reset ” followed by
clicking the “Update” button if you experience recording problems.
Start Date, T
ime: Starting date and time for recording. The format is mm/dd/yyyy and
hh:mm:ss, it must be followed exactly. Entry is required for all Types of Flash Recording.
End Date, Time: Ending date and time for recording. The format is mm/dd/yyyy and
hh:mm:ss, it must be followed exactly. Entry is required for Limited Type of Flash
Recording only.
NOTE 1: While the recording is in progress, the first letter of the measurement unit (“h”P, “i”Hg or
“m”Hg), located on the LCD screen blinks continuously.
23
NOTE 2: Downloading data and recording can not be done at the same time. While
downloading data, the writing process to the flash memory will be internally disabled while
the data is being read from the memory flash. For small amounts of data to be retrieved
(1 Day or 1 Week), this is not a significant interruption in the recording data. However, for
large amounts of data (1 Month or 1 Year) it may take 4 to 8 minutes to download the
data. In “Archives_Enabled “ mode, charting remains static, while data download is taking
place.
NOTE 3: The number of barometric pressure/temperature values that can be recorded depends
on the memory flash capacity (2 Mbytes, 4 Mbytes or 8 Mbytes) and number of barometric
pressure / temperature values (540,540, 1,081,212 and 2,162,556). The time to fill the
memory flash depends on the recording interval time, e.g. 1 minute interval for 4 Mbytes is
1,081,212 minutes or 750 days. If the flash is busy sending data to the applet to chart the archive,
the iServer will refuse to initiate a call to provide archived data to the second applet until it has
finished with the first one.
NOTE 4: If there is a loss of power while recording the data, the number of data logged can
not be stored, therefore having restored the power the logged data will be read from Flash
Memory and the number of recorded data will be stored for future use. During this process
the LCD will display “Reading Flash”, and if you connect through a web browser the
Configuration page will display “Wait Reading Flash”.
NOTE 5: After you “StartRecord” the flash recording followed by clicking the “Update”
button, if you then need to make any changes in the Flash Recording section you must
either select “StopRecord” followed by clicking the “Update” button or push the reset button
on the side of the iServer and reconfigure the Flash Recording section again.
NOTE 6: If you stop the recording prematurely, when you download the data, you will lose
the last 256 bytes of the data that was left in the buffer and was not transferred into the flash
card. Therefore, we strongly suggest downloading the data while the recording is still on and then
stop the recording if desired.
G) Terminal Server
TCP/UDP*
: The iServer supports TCP and UDP protocols (default is TCP). If UDP is
selected, it can be configured either for Broadcast UDP or Directed UDP. In case of
Broadcast UDP, the iServer will transmit the data to every node on the network. This can
be accomplished if the Remote IP Address is set to 255.255.255.255.
The Broadcast UDP is a practical solution when one iServer needs to communicate with
multiple nodes over the network. In the case of directed UDP, the iServer will transmit the
data to a specific node on the network. This can be accomplished if the Remote IP
Address is set to the IP address of that specific node.
Server T
ype: Continuous mode sends the temperature and barometric pressure to the
Ethernet every two seconds. It is mainly used to send readings to a remote display.
Command mode needs a command to query the iServer to send the reponse back to
querying device.
In order to change from one type to another, make sure to close any TCP
connections to the sensor. The unit could get locked up if changing the type while
the TCP socket is still open to the sensor. Reseting the power will correct the
problem.
Number of Connections
: The range is from 0 to 5. If 0 is selected, the Terminal Server
feature is disabled. This means that no network connection can be made to the iServer’s
sensor. If 1 is selected, only one network connection can be made to the sensor. Any
number more than 1 would allow that number of network hosts to read from the iServer
simultaneously (default is 5).
24
Port: (default 2000) is the default TCP port number for the port to which the sensor is
connected. Ports 1000 (used for HTTPget, refer to Section 4.5), 2002, 2003, and 2004
are reserved for internal use.
Terminal Server usually describes a device that exchanges data between
Ethernet/TCPIP networks and RS-232/RS-485 systems. With this iServer,
the data is obtained digitally from the sensor (irrelevant to RS-232 or RS-485
interface) and can be accessed from anywhere on the network.
A computer program, such as NEWPORT’s Mail Notifier, OPC Server, iLOG,
iFLASH or httpget can send TCP requests and obtain readings using the
Terminal Server feature.
H) Remote Access
Remote IP Address: iServer can establish a connection to a remote device (e.g. an
iLD Remote Display with an Ethernet iServer embedded board) with this IP.
Remote Port: (default 2000) the remote port number for the connection. Ports 1000
(used for HTTPget, refer to Section 4.5), 2002, 2003, and 2004 are reserved for
internal use.
Remote
Access:** Remote Access can be enabled and disabled. If enabled, the
iServer can send its data to a remote node on the same network (the “Remote IP
address” and “Remote Port” must be entered).
*TCP/UDP: when UDP mode is selected, Remote Access should be disabled
and Remote IP and Port are the UDP remote listening IP and Port. If the
Remote IP is set to 255.255.255.255, the UDP packet becomes a
broadcasting packet which will allow any device listening to the Remote port
to receive the packet.
**If Remote Access is enabled, Terminal Server is automatically disabled.

4.3.6 Sensor Parameters
• In the first column of Configuration page (Figure 4.11), click on No. 1 to view and
modify the Sensor Parameters page for Temperature.
Figure 4.12 Sensor Parameters
Below are some definitions of terms used in the Sensor Parameters page.
Device Name: is a text field and can take up to 16 alphanumeric characters, it shows on
the “Configuration” and the “Read Sensor” page.
Remote Display Format: Remote display format is used for Terminal Server continuous
mode.
P0000.0mbar in barometric pressure setting, displays P and 0000.0mbar is the
barometric pressure value displayed.
Example: if the barometric pressure is 1014.4, then P1014.4mbar will be seen in the
remote display. If no format is specified (blank), there is no reading sent out. If
temperature is 76.25 and 00.0F is used in temperature setting, the remote site will show
76.2F.
This format setup is originally based on iLD Remote Display, which has four or six LEDs.
For six LEDs, T00.00F format, and for four LEDs, 00.0F formats are appropriate.
Remote End Char
: The default value is 0D (Hex representation of <CR>). This means
that the iServer sends <CR> after each temperature and barometric pressure value.
This will be done only in Continuous mode.
This is how the data will appear on the host with OD assigned:
T75.7F
P1014.9mbar
If the end character, for instance, is 20 (Hex representation of
space), the data will then appear as: T75.7F P1014.9mbar
If nothing is set for the “Remote End Char” field, the iServer will
then forward the data to the LAN with no characters followed.
Offset: Since the sensing probe is solid state electronics, there
is no need for calibration. If it’s determined that the readings
are slightly off, the user can manually assign numerical values
(including negative) to adjust the readings for temperature and
barometric pressure. For temperature offset, the unit must be
in degree C, for barometric pressure the unit must be in hPa.
The Offset can be changed while recording is on.

4.4 Telnet Setup
Set the Number of Connections to 1-5 other than 0, using telnet simulation program
connect to iServer. In continuous mode, the telnet teminal will receive continuous
messages from the iServer. In command mode, the command can be sent to query the
iServer and get a response back. Refer to Figure 3.3
Send remote reset: Telnet port 2002 will bring a terminal for admin password. After typing
the password and following with the end character, the message Admin. Login
Successful will be showed on the terminal. Now type "reset" following with return
character to reset the iServer. If no character is received within 20 seconds, the terminal
will be closed automatically.
Initiating the archive chart while Telnet is active will halt Telnet until the archive
chart is done.
4.5 HTTPGET Program
The Httpget software is used to send a single HTTP or TCP request to an iServer
product. In contrast, the telnet or Hyperterminal programs allow a continuous
connection with multiple requests to be sent to the iServer product.
Generally httpget is used for simply programming an IP address to the iServer or for
quickly obtaining a reading of from a device.
The iServer product must be configured from the configuration web page so that the
"Server Type" value is set to "Command" (This is positioned under the heading of
Terminal Server). Also the Number of Connections may need to be set to "0" to enable
Port 1000 (Port 1000 is for access in a non-standard terminal mode). To use Port 2000
access (where "2000" is the value stored in "Port"), the Number of Connections should
be set to "2" for general usage. The value of 2 can later be changed to a value from 1 to
5 depending on needs for secure access or fault tolerance.
Whenever Terminal Server service (using Port 2000 by default) is required, the Number
of Connections must be set to a value from 1 to 5. The Terminal Server mode is the
recommended mode for the most reliable connection when operating with NEWPORT
software or with other programs supporting TCPIP communications. The Port 1000
access can be used with NEWPORT software and may be needed with some iServer
products when you need to view readings from the web page while simultaneously
collecting data through TCPIP communications.
28
4.5.1 HTTPGET using Port 1000
You can setup and read the information from the iServer by using the HTTPGET
program. The following program can be used to read data from the embedded server
firmware by using TCP port 1000. The command string is sent to this TCP port, then the
response can be read back from the same socket.
The Httpget.exe file is used to setup and read information from the iServer. This file will
be automatically installed when you install the MailNotifier software available on our
website and CD.
Notes on using Httpget :
The Httpget.exe program is installed to the windows directory (usually c:\winnt or
c:\windows) when installing the Mail Notifier software.
1. Open up a command window (or have a DOS window)
a) Click on start menu
b) Click on "Run"
c) In the dialog box that appears, type "cmd" or "command" and click on "OK" button.
d) A command window should now appear.
2. If you now type "httpget" and press the "enter" key, the program options should be
displayed.
3. Next run httpget with the options displayed below
httpget -r -S “*SRTC\r” 192.168.1.200:1000
where:
-r –S are parameters needed for the command string
*SRT is the command as the following:
*SRTC Read the temperature in C
*SRTF Read the temperature in F
*SRHb Read the pressure in mbar / hPa.
*SRHi Read the pressure in inHg (Mercury).
*SRHm Read the pressure in mmHg (Mercury).
*SRA Read the SP1 and SP2
*SRB Read the temperature and barometric pressure
*SRYS Indicate Power to be on AC or DC
*SRYRST Reset Power on iServer
\r is the carriage return termination character
192.168.1.200 is an IP address
1000 is a socket port number
Response:
076.6 (in Deg.F format)
29
4.5.2 HTTPGET and ARP to setup Device IP Address
Use the iCONNECT software, which may be downloaded from our website, to
do these IP changes whenever possible.
Use ARP first to assign the mac address to a static IP address in computer arp table by
this command:
apr –s 192.168.1.200 00-03-34-00-00-06-b6
Then use the following command to assign new IP to the device:
Httpget –r –S "00000000" 192.168.1.200:1
where:
“00000000” is admin. password. If the password is wrong, the unit will ignore the new IP.
If the new IP is taken, you will get the message " New IP is Assigned" after the httpget
command. The device will reset automatically.
“192.168.1.200” is an example of an IP addresss. It is replaced with an IP address
suitable for your network
“00-03-34-00-00-06-b6” is replaced with your iServer product MAC address.
30
4.6 ARP Protocol
ARP is the Internet layer protocol responsible for matching or obtaining the MAC
(hardware) address that corresponds to a particular IP address. The ARP command
allows the user to view the current contents of the ARP cache of the local computer
(residing on the same network). Microsoft includes the ARP.EXE utility for viewing and
modifying the ARP cache with its Windows products. The following ARP commands can
be used to view cache entries:
• arp –a ➞ Use this command to view all ARP cache entries.
• arp –a plus IP address ➞ Use this command to view ARP cache entries associated
with one particular interface on a network with multiple adapters.
• arp –g ➞ Same as arp –a.
• arp –N ➞ Use this command to display ARP entries for specific network interface.
• arp – s plus IP address plus Physical address ➞ Use this command to manually add
a permanent static entry to the ARP cache.
• arp –d ➞ Use this command to manually delete a static entry.
Ping the destination computer using IP address first before using the arp -a
command.
The following window shows examples of arp commands and responses.
• Your computer has an IP address of 192.168.1.118
• The destination computer has an IP address of 192.168.1.96

4.8 Mail Notifier Software
The Mail Notifier Software can be used only with NEWPORT Electronics instruments.
For complete information of how to use the Mail Notifier software, click on the Help menu
of the main window.
The Mail Notifier software generates email notifications for alarm conditions. Users can
be notified automatically of alarm conditions monitored via internet connections
throughout the world. By use of the email forwarding of alarm conditions, alarm
conditions can be monitored on a network isolated from the internet and forwarded to
connections on the Internet.
The Mail Notifier utility operates under Windows 98, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP in conjunction
with existing email that supports the MAPI messaging interface. If MS Outlook has been
loaded, the MAPI support should be available.
4.8.1 Installation
The Mail Notifier must be loaded on a computer running Microsoft Windows (versions
specified earlier) using an email program that provides MAPI access. Network access
must be available between this computer and the iServer. Network access must also be
available from this computer to the appropriate email server and from the email server to
the recipient’s email server.

33
4.8.2 Program Options Setup and Configuration
Complete program setup requires:
• Entering a recipient for the email
• Specifying connection details to MAPI services.
•
Defining alarms for devices, and selecting how and when the email will be active.
Figure 4.17 iServer Mail Notifier Profile Setup
The “Send To” tab contains a field to specify an email address to which alarm
notifications will be sent (i.e. the recipient). Only one entry is permitted, in the address
field. Additional addresses can be placed into “More Addresses” list.
Email Connection (MAPI Access)
The following instructions work with some versions of Microsoft Outlook. Note though
that some email systems may prevent the use of Mail Notifier due to security constraints.
The simplest way to obtain a connection the the Email services is as follows:
1. Configure the Mail Notifier to connect to the email by displaying a Login Box. This
option is found by selecting View, Options from the Mail Notifier's menubar. Select
the "Email Setup" tab, mark the checkbox for "Use Login Box"
2. After Mail Notifier is configured to use the login box, the Mail Notifier can be started
without user intervention if your MS Outlook program is running beforehand.
Otherwise, the Mail Notifier will display a Login Box that should display the
necessary User Profile.

APPENDIX A GLOSSARY
User of this manual should be familiar with following definitions:
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is a protocol for mapping an Internet Protocol
address (IP address) to a physical machine address that is recognized in the local
network. For example, the IP address in use today is an address that is 32-bits long.
In an Ethernet local area network, however, addresses for attached devices are 48-bits
long. (The physical machine address is also known as a Media Access Control or MAC
address.) A table, usually called the ARP cache, is used to maintain a correlation between
each MAC address and its corresponding IP address. ARP provides the protocol rules for
making this correlation and providing address conversion in both directions.
Ethernet is a network protocol defined by the IEEE 802.3 standard. Ethernet-based
networks use MAC Address rather then IP Address to exchange data between computers.
By using ARP and adding TCP/IP support, Ethernet devices may be connected as part of
the Internet. An Ethernet LAN typically uses coaxial cable or special grades of twisted pair
wires. The most commonly installed Ethernet systems are called 10BASE-T and provide
transmission speeds up to 10 Mbps. Devices are connected to the cable and compete for
access using a Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD)
protocol.
IP (Internet Protocol) is the method or protocol by which data is sent from one computer
to another on the Internet.
IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a 32-bit number that identifies each sender or
receiver of information that is sent in packets across the Internet.
IP Netmask is a 32-bit pattern of bits used to determine which part of the IP address is the
network portion and which part is the host portion.
MAC (Media Access Control) Address is your computer's unique hardware number.
When you're connected to the Internet from your computer, a correspondence table relates
your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address on the LAN.
Ping is a utility that tests the network connectivity. It is used to determine if the host is
capable of exchanging information with another host.
Port number/Socket number is a way to identify a specific process to which an Internet
or other network message is to be forwarded when it arrives at a server. It is a predefined
address that serves as a route from the application to the Transport layer or from the
Transport layer to the application of the TCP/IP system.
Sockets are a method for communication between a client program and a server program
in a network and defined as "the endpoint in a connection." Information transferred across
the Internet primarily occurs between sockets.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the basic communication
language or protocol of the Internet. When you are set up with direct access to the
Internet, your computer is provided with a copy of the TCP/IP program just as every other
computer that you may send messages to or get information from also has a copy of
TCP/IP. TCP/IP often is used as a general term to indicate generic access to the Internet.
UDP/IP (User Datagram Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the TCP/IP standard protocol that
allows an application program on one machine to send a datagram to an application
program on another. The UDP can be either in Broadcast or Directed form. The Broadcast
UDP transmits data to every node on the same network. The Directed UDP transmits data
to one node only.
37
Appendix B IP Address
An IP address is a unique 32-bit address assigned to a computer and includes:
• A network ID number identifying a network.
• A host ID number identifying a computer on the network.
All IP addresses have been divided into three smaller groups (classes) A, B and C
• Class A addresses have 8-bits of network ID and 24-bits of host ID. They can support
a large number of hosts, approximately 2 = 16,777,216 computers per network.
The IP addresses range in binary from 00000001.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx
to 01111111.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx
The IP addresses range in decimal from 1.x.x.x to 127.x.x.x
Class A network ID’s support a very large number of hosts.
• Class B addresses have 16-bits of network ID and 16-bits of host ID. They can
support approximately 216= 65,536 computers per network.
The IP addresses range in binary from 10000000 00000000.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx
to 10111111 11111111.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx
The IP addresses range in decimal from 128.0.x.x TO 191.255.xxx.xxx
Class B network ID’s support a medium number of hosts.
• Class C addresses have 24-bits of network ID and 8-bits of host ID. They can support
approximately 28= 256 computers per network.
The IP addresses range in binary from 11000000.00000000.00000000.xxxxxxxx
to 11011111.11111111. 11111111.xxxxxxxx
The IP addresses range in decimal from 192.0.0.xxx to 223.255.255.xxx
Class C network ID’s support a small number of hosts.
The rest of the addresses are divided into two classes, D and E.
Class D networks are not assigned to the host. They are used for multicasting.
The address range from 224.x.x.x to 239.x.x.x
Class E networks are experimental or reserved addresses.
The address range from 240.x.x.x to 247.x.x.x
38
Appendix C IP Netmask
IP Netmask or Subnet Mask is a 32-bit pattern of ones and zeros used to determine
network portion of an IP address from the host portion of the IP address. Subnet mask is
a network ID that is created by borrowing bits from host portion of IP address and using
them as part of a network ID. The table below shows a default subnet mask for address
Classes A, B, and C. Each bit that is set to "1" in the subnet mask corresponds to the bit
in the IP address that is to be used as the network ID. Each bit that is set to "0" in the
subnet mask corresponds to a bit in the IP address that is to be used as the host ID.
Address Class Mask Binary Value Mask Decimal Value
or Dotted Notation
Class A 255.0.0.0
Class B 255.255.0.0
Class C 255.255.255.0
If your network requires more network ID’s, you can extend the default subnet mask to
include additional bits from the host ID. This allows for additional network ID’s within the
network. The table below shows some examples of subnet masks and bits moved from
the hosts ID to create a new subnet.
Mask Dotted Notation Mask Binary Mask Bits
