1.3 Description

The wi®Series wireless monitoring and control system features meters compatible
with a large and growing number of wireless sensors: UWTC “Universal Wireless

Thermocouple” Type J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N, and C, UWRTD “Universal Wireless
RTD” , and UWIR “Universal Wireless Infrared Temperature Sensor”. For more

information about the UWTC, UWRTD, and UWIR, refer to the separate manual for
these products.

1.3 Description (continued)

The wireless sensors transmit up to four hundred feet 400’ (approx. 120 meters-­without obstructions or interference) to a wiSeries meter connected directly to an
Ethernet network and the Internet. The wireless system complies with IEEE 802.15.4
operating at 2.4 GHz. The wiSeries Meter Scanner & Controller can monitor up to
eight (8) wireless sensors.

The Meter also provides error detection mechanism for inactive communication
and diagnostic information including signal strength and data transmission
success rate to help troubleshooting potential wireless system installation issues.

The Meter connects directly to an Ethernet network and the Internet and features
award-winning embedded Web Server. It is easily configured and monitored with a
Web browser over the Ethernet network or the Internet.

CONTROL, MONITOR, AND ALARM: The Meter comes standard with dual outputs
of either Form C relays, SSR’s (solid state relays) or dc Pulses that can be used for
ON/OFF control functions or alarms.

The meter can monitor alarm conditions for any or all of the wireless sensors. For
example, the meter can be set up to trip an alarm if any one of the sensors indicated
that it was above or below a pre-set alarm point.

Analog output is fully scalable and may be configured as an ON/OFF controller or re­transmission to follow your readings.

MONITOR AND CONTROL LOCALLY AND OVER THE INTERNET: The wiSeries
wireless monitoring and control system provides local monitoring and control, along
with remote Web-based monitoring of temperature from thermocouples, RTD’s, and
infrared temperature sensors.

The wiSeries system let’s you monitor and record temperature over an Ethernet
network or the Internet without any special software--just your Web Browser.

ETHERNET: The wiSeries meter-controller-scanner is an independent node on the
network sending and receiving data in standard TCP/IP packets. It is easily
configured from a Web Browser and can be password protected. From within an
Ethernet LAN or over the Internet, the user simply types the IP address (such as

192.168.1.200) or an easy to remember name (such as "Oven5" or "Fixture") and
the wiSeries meter serves a Web Page with the current readings.

EMAIL ALARM: The wiSeries meter can trigger an alarm if variables go above or
below a Setpoint that you determine. Your alarm can be sent by email to a single
user or to a group distribution list, including text messages to cell phones and PDA’s.

DATALOGGING: The OPC Server software makes it easy to integrate the wiSeries
wireless sensor system with many popular Data Acquisition and Automation
programs offered by NEWPORT, OMEGA, Wonderware, iConics, Intellution,
Rockwell Automation, and National Instruments, among others.

PROGRAMMABLE COLOR DISPLAY: The wiSeries features patented
programmable color displays. The display can be programmed to change color at
any Setpoint or Alarm point. For example, the meter can be programmed to display
the process value in GREEN during warm-up, switching to AMBER to signal the
normal operating range, and in RED to signal an alarm condition. The changes in
color are quickly seen from a distance, and machine operators can intuitively react to
changing conditions. The colors can be programmed to change back when the value
drops back below the alarm point or to "latch" on until being reset by the operator.

The meter can also be programmed to display only one unchanging color: GREEN,
AMBER, or RED. This is a useful way to let an operator identify, at a glance,
temperature values in three separate locations, or to display three different
measurements.

The following example Figure 1.1 illustrates how you can hookup the Temperature
Wireless System to your network:

The wireless system consists of a single Meter and one or more End Devices /
Transmitters. The End Devices will send data periodically to the Meter where it serves
as a gateway between the users and the End Devices. The users can access the data
through the Meter’s Web Server and provided data acquisition software.

A standard web browser can be used to monitor and chart temperature. The browser
can also be used to configure the meter’s IP address, passwords for access and
overall configuration parameters.

For the low voltage power option, in order to maintain the same degree of
protection as the standard high voltage input power units (90 - 240 Vac),
always use a Safety Agency Approved DC or AC source with the same
Overvoltage Category and pollution degree as the standard AC unit (90 ­240 Vac).

The Safety European Standard EN61010-1 for measurement, control,
and laboratory equipment requires that fuses must be specified based on
IEC127. This standard specifies for a Time-lag fuse, the letter code “T”.
The above recommended fuses are of the type IEC127-2-sheet III. Be
aware that there are significant differences between the requirements
listed in the UL 248-14/CSA 248.14 and the IEC 127 fuse standards. As a
result, no single fuse can carry all approval listings. A 1.0 Amp IEC fuse is
approximately equivalent to a 1.4 Amp UL/CSA fuse. It is advised to
consult the manufacturer’s data sheets for a cross-reference.

2.2.1 10Base-T RJ-45 Pinout

The 10BASE-T Ethernet network (RJ-45) system is used in the Meter 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.

PART 3

NETWORK CONFIGURATION

3.1 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 the label of your meter (see Figure

2.4 and 3.1) and contains 6 bytes (12 characters) of hexadecimal numbers
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX For Example

Remove the small label with the default IP address and there will be room to put
your IP address.

: 0A:0C:3D:0B:0A:0B

Figure 3.1 Label Detail

3.2 Network Protocols

The Meter can be connected to the network using standard TCP/IP protocols. It
also supports ARP, HTTP (Web Server), DHCP, DNS and Telnet protocols.

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 Meter, as soon as the Meter is connected to the
network, there is an exchange of information between DHCP server and the
Meter. During this process the IP address, the Gateway address, and the Subnet
Mask will be assigned to the Meter by the DHCP server. Note that the DHCP
server must be configured correctly to do such assignment.

17

3.3 DHCP (continued)

The Meter is shipped with DHCP disabled (factory default).
If fixed or static IP address is desired, the DHCP must be disabled.
The DHCP can be enabled by setting the DIP switch # 3 to the "ON" position

Figure 3.2 4 Position DIP Switch

Setting the Meter’s IP address to 0.0.0.0 will also enable DHCP.

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://wis03ec or any eight character name stored as Host
Name under "Access Control" page from the Wireless System Home Page.

The default DNS name for the Meter is "wis" followed by the last four digits of
the MAC address of that particular Meter.

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 Meter.

2. The Meters are shipped with a default static IP address of

192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.

3. On Windows servers where the DCHP and DNS are separate
functions it is very important to configure the DHCP server to
communicate with the DNS in order for the iServer’s Host Name to
correctly respond. If you cannot access the iServer using its Host
Name, please contact your network administrator to make sure the
DHCP and DNS servers are linked together.

18

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 establish a connection to the Meter. Every
computer using TCP/IP should have a unique 32-bit address which 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.

3.5.1 Default IP Address

The Meter is shipped with a default IP address of 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 Meter 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 Meter’s IP address (192.168.1.x, where x can be any number
from 1 to 254). See Section 3.5.2.

Your PC’s IP address cannot

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 Meter 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 Meter to change the IP
address or any other settings within the Meter.

be the same as the Meter’s IP address.

PART 4
NETWORK OPERATIONS

This Meter 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
Internet Explorer. It can also be configured using the iConnect Configuration
Software.

If DHCP and DNS servers are configured to exchange information, the
connection will be very simple. All you need to do is to enable DHCP on the
Meter (see Section 3.3) and use a straight through network cable to connect the
Meter to an Ethernet hub or switch and power it up. Now, you can use the
Meter’s default Host (Domain) Name, which is wisxxxx (where xxxx are the last
four characters of its MAC address) to access the Meter’s Web Server.

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
Meter’s default IP address (192.168.1.200) and connect to the Meter using a
cross-over network cable between your PC’s network port and the Meter. After
you’re done with configuring the Meter, you can always set your PC back to its
original settings. See Section 3.5.2 for more details.

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 wisxxxx", where
xxxx are the last four digits of the Meter’s MAC address, located on the meter. You
should get a reply as shown in Figure 4.1.

You can use the host name (wisxxxx) instead of the IP address only if your

DHCP server is configured to communicate with your DNS. Please consult
with your IT department for details.

4.3.1 Power Up Meter

For instructions on how to power the Meter, refer to Section 2.1.5.
To verify that an End Device is working before deploying remotely, install the

battery and power it on right next to the Meter. When the End Device is powered
on, the green LED (TX) will blink periodically. This indicates the End Device is
broadcasting its data to the Meter on channel 12 defined by IEEE 802.15.4.

The LED will blink only when the End Device sends data to the Meter. If the
Meter is not powered on, or it’s out of reach, the End Device will not receive the
acknowledgment packet from the Meter and therfore to save battery power it will
go to sleep.

The sleeping period can be defined by the users via the USB port (PC
Configuration software) on the End Device. The End Device sends new data for
a short period of time after every sleep period is over, until it can establish the
connection back with the Meter.

When there are two End Devices with the same Device ID/address, both
will be transmitting data every sampling period with their LEDs blinking.
The Meter will receive data from both End Devices and will display their

4.3.3.3 Browser Proxy Selection

Accessing Meter units within your internal network

• Usually when the computer and Meters 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 Meter 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 Wireless System appears, then the HTTP Proxy is
working fine.

If the data isn't updated on the Wireless System upon selecting the "Readings"
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. (The TCP ports the Meter uses for Java applets are 1000 and 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 Meter 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 Meter) and then
connecting the Meter to another computer using an 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 Wireless System’s charts
after connecting the Meter 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 Wireless
System’s chart access on your peer-to-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 Java Policy

To activate data logging and save graphs from the Java applets, it is necessary
to create a Java Policy file and copy it onto a folder.

1) Open a Notepad file and using the IP address of the Meter type the

following:

grant codeBase "http://192.168.1.200/"
{

permission java.security.AllPermission "*", "*";

};

This file should have the IP address of the Meter; in this case the default
IP address is 192.168.1.200. If the IP address is changed, then the IP
address shown in the file needs to be changed; otherwise, it will not work.
If more than one Meter is being monitored from the same computer, it is
necessary to repeat the above for each of the Meters in the same
"java_policy.txt" file.

If DHCP/DNS is enabled, the unique Meter’s name using DNS should replace
the IP address. Example: "http:\\zSrvTEST". Make sure the DHCP server
updates the DNS table to keep track of the Meter’s name and IP addresses
(consult with your network administrator).

2) Save the file as java_policy.txt.

3) Create a folder in your C: drive called "0_JAVAPOLICY".

4) Place the java.policy.policy file into the "0_JAVAPOLICY" folder.

4.3.7.2 Setpoints & On/Off Control

Auto Setpoint Deviation: If "enabled", allows changes to Setpoint 1 to be

made automatically to Setpoint 2. This mode is very helpful if the Temperature
changes often.

In Setpoint Deviation Mode, set SP2 a certain number of degrees or counts
away from SP1--this relation remains fixed when SP1 is changed.

For instance:
Setting SP1=200 and SP2=20 and enabling SP Deviation means that the

absolute value of SP2=220.
Moving SP1 to 300, the absolute value of SP2 becomes 320.

Setpoint 1: This setpoint controls Output 1
Setpoint 2: This setpoint controls Output 2
Permanent Store: Check to save Setpoints in the Meter’s permanent storage.
On/Off 1 and On/Off 2: To enable and disable On/Off Control. Enabling On/Off

Controls will disable the Alarms, and vice versa.
DeadBand: The Dead Band or neutral zone, is the number of degrees counts

around Setpoint 1 (or Setpoint 2 if On/Off 2) which the temperature value must
pass above or below the Setpoint before the output changes state.

Action: Choice of direct or reverse. The error that results from the
measurement of the Process Variable may be positive or negative since it may
be greater or smaller than the Setpoint.

If a positive error should cause the Meter output to increase (i.e. cooling), it
would be called Direct Acting.

If a negative error should cause the output to increase (i.e. heating), it would be
called Reverse Acting.

Alarm 1 (or 2) High: editable box for the high alarm value.
Active: If Above, Alarm condition triggered when the process variable is greater

than the Alarm Hi Value (Low value ignored).
If Below, Alarm condition triggered when the process variable is less than the

Alarm Low Value (Hi value ignored).
If Hi/Low, Alarm condition triggered when the process variable is less than the

Alarm Low Value or above the Hi Value.
If Band, Alarm condition triggered when the process variable is above or below

the "band" set around the Setpoint. Band equals Hi Value (Low Value ignored).

A "band" is set around the Setpoint only in the "Deviation" Mode.

Normally: if Open, then the relay is "energized" only when an alarm condition
occurs.

If Closed, this is "Fail Safe" Mode. Relay is energized under "normal" conditions
and becomes de-energized during alarm or power failure.

Latch: if Latched, Alarm remains "latched" until reset.
If Unlatched, Alarm remains latched only as long as the alarm condition is true.
Absolute: if Absolute, this allows Alarms to function independently from their

respective Setpoints. If the process being monitored does not change often, then
"Absolute" Mode is recommended.

If Deviation, this allows changes to Setpoints to be made automatically to their
corresponding Alarms. Deviation Mode is typically the ideal mode if the process
temperature changes often. In Deviation Mode, set Alarm 1 a certain number of
degrees or counts away from Setpoints, this relation remains fixed even if
Setpoints are changed.

Alarm at Power On: If the alarm is enabled at Power On, the alarm will be
active right after reset for all the End Devices (given the conditions are met),
except the End Device designated in the "Input" menu of the Web Server.

If the alarm is disabled at Power On, the alarm will become enabled when the
process value enters the non alarm area. The alarm is not active while the
process value is approaching the Setpoints.

Errors indicating "lost" or "open" sensor condition can trigger the alarm if
the alarm is set for "active high" above 9000 degrees.

Title: Meter’s name [maximum of 16 alphanumeric characters], shows on the

"Chart" and "Reading" pages.

B) Terminal Server
TCP/UDP*: The Meter 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 Meter 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 Meter needs to communicate
with multiple nodes over the network. In the case of directed UDP, the Meter 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 Type: Continuous mode sends the temperature to the Ethernet, every
two seconds. It is mainly used to send readings to a remote display. Command
mode (default) needs a command to query the Meter to send the response back
to querying device.

Forward CR: Forward CR can be enabled and disabled. If enabled the Meter will
forward a <CR> along with the data to a network host in Command mode

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 Meter. If 1 is selected, only one network connection can be made to the
Meter. Any number more than 1 would allow that number of network hosts to read
from the Meter simultaneously (default is 5).

Port: Port number for TCP connections. Invalid ports: <500, >65536, 1000, 2002,
2003, and 7011.

C) Remote Access
Remote IP Address: The Meter can establish a connection to a remote device

(e.g. an iLD Remote Display with an Ethernet 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 7011 are

reserved for internal use.
Remote Access: ** Remote Access can be enabled and disabled. If enabled,

the Meter 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 and Continuous are 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.

Update: Saves and Updates any changes on the "Network Setup" page.

Update (Seconds): How often this End Device is sending its data to the Meter.
The default shown "update second" is 120 seconds. This update corresponds to
the sampling rate configured by using the Configuration Wizard. For detailed
steps on how to configure the sampling rate, please refer to Section 4.1 of the
UWTC Manual. Non zero update rate will enable success calculation and lost
detection features. Update rate should reflect the actual blinking interval in order
to enhance the accuracy of success calculation and lost detection.

Update on the webpage means how often the Meter expects a reading
coming from a End Device. The Meter uses this Update to detect lost
condition and calculate success rate. It is purely used by the Meter only,
and the End Device does not recognize the Update on the webpage.
Therefore, changing Update will not change the actual sample rate
stored on the End Device.

For a more accurate success rate and lost packet information, it is
necessary to keep the "Update" time, the same as the "Sampling Rate"
of the UWTC End Device.

Sensor 1

This is the field to modify the parameters for the process sensor.
Remote Display Format: Remote display format is for Server Type continuous

mode. It basically defines the way the data is shown on a Remote Display. The
default value is 0000000F. This means that the value will be displayed up to 7
digits, followed by the unit of F, for a maximum of 8 characters. Any letters before
and/or after the number will be displayed accordingly. Keep in mind that the
displayed letters will take away from the available 8 characters.

Make sure that you have enough 0’s
to display the entire temperature
value. Any extra 0’s will be ignored.

If there is no temperature unit, then
the unit will be read from the "Input"

Remote End Char: The default value is 0D
(Hex representation of <CR>). This means that
the Meter sends <CR> after each temperature
reading. This will be done either in Continuous
or Command mode.

This is how the data will appear on the host
with 0D assigned:

4.3.10 Access Control

This section describes the "Access Control" page of the Wireless System Web
interface. This page allows the users to set up the network and security
parameters of the Wireless System.

At the initial entrance to the "Access Control" page you may be prompted for the
LOGIN Password (see Figure 4.6) prior to an ADMINISTRATOR Password.

Figure 4.25 Access Control

55

4.3.10 Access Control (continued)

Login Password: This allows users to access and modify all of the Wireless

System 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 case-sensitive characters. If there is no
Password assigned (blank box) the Wireless System will not require a password
to access and modify any of the menu items, except the "Access Control" page.

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 alpha-numeric case-sensitive characters.

If there is no Administrator Password assigned (blank box) the Wireless System
will not require password to access and modify "Access Control" page.

Host Name: Name of the server (DNS) max 8 characters, default is "wis" and
the last 4 digits of the MAC address. Refer to Section 3.4, DNS.

MAC Address: This is also called Hardware address or Ethernet address,
which is assigned to the Meter at production. The MAC (Media Access Control)
address is the Meter’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 Meter of information that is sent in packets across the Ethernet
or the Internet. The Meter’s default IP address is 192.168.1.200. The Meter’s IP
address should be changed to fit user’s networking environment. Consult with
your IT department for obtaining an IP address.

The DHCP will be enabled in the Meter if its IP address is set to 0.0.0.0. The
DHCP can also be enabled by setting the 4 position DIP switch #3 to ON.

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 Meter is sending
packets to another network node that is not on the same network on which the
Meter is connected, a gateway address needs to be given to the Meter. The
gateway address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same
LAN to which the Meter is connected. The Meter default gateway address is

0.0.0.0. Consult with your IT department for obtaining a gateway address.
Subnet Mask: It’s 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 Meter
default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Consult with your IT department for
obtaining a subnet mask.

Save: Saves any changes for above settings.
Reset: Pressing the Reset button will set all the fields back to their original values.
Network Reset: Reboots the embedded server. Note that all updated network

4.5 HTTPget Program

The Httpget software is used to send a single HTTP or TCP request to the Meter.
In contrast, the telnet or Hyperterminal programs allow a continuous connection
with multiple requests to be sent to the Meter.

Generally HTTPget is used for simply programming an IP address to the Meter
or for quickly obtaining a reading from a End Device.

The Meter must be configured from the "Network Setup" page so that the "TCP
Connections" indicates any number between 1 and 5. Make sure that the Port
Field number indicates 2000.

Whenever Terminal Server service (using Port 2000 by default) is required, the #
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 TCP/IP communications.

The Port 2000 access can be used with NEWPORT software and may be
needed with some Meters when you need to view readings from the web page
while simultaneously collecting data through TCP/IP communications.

4.5.1 HTTPget using Port 2000

You can setup and read the information from the Meter by using the HTTPget
program. The following program can be used to read data from the embedded
server firmware by using TCP port 2000. 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 Meter. 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", the program options should
be displayed.

3). Next run HTTPget with the options displayed below

httpget -r -S *SR00z 192.168.1.135:2000 -C1 -q

58

where:

-r –S are parameters needed for the the command string
Command (See Table 4.1)

192.168.1.135 is an IP address
2000 is a socket port number

-C1 closes the TCP connection after 1 second

-q displays no error messages once the connection is closed

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:

arp –s 192.168.1.200 00-03-34-00-06-b6

Then use the following command to assign new IP to the device:

Httpget –r –S "00000000" 192.168.1.200:1
where:

"0000000" 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 address. It is replaced with IP address
suitable for your network

"00-03-34-00-06-b6" is replaced with your Meter’s MAC address.

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

• arp –a

ENVIRONMENT / OPERATING CONDITIONS

The End Device and Meter are designed to be fixed mounted and operated in a
clean and dry environment. Care should be taken to prevent the components of
your wireless system from being exposed to moisture, toxic chemicals, extreme
cold or hot temperature that are outside the specification listed in this manual.

The following is a list of basic good practice you should apply when operating
this Wireless System.

1. Do not operate the wireless meter in flammable or explosive
environments.

2. Do not use the wireless meter in medical, nuclear or other critical
application where failure can cause damage or harm.

3. Always operate the wireless meter within the recommended
environmental limits specified in the manual.

4. Do not operate the wireless meter with a battery or AC adapter other than
what’s supplied or specified in this manual or on the battery compartment
label.

5. Keep each wireless meter at least 8 inches (20 cm) from other radio
transmitters, antennas, and people.

6. The FCC approval for this meter specifies the specific antenna supplied
with this meter.

5.1 General Deployment Guidelines

1. Position Meter in a central location. When multiple End Devices are in
operation, position your Meter in a central space if possible in equal
distance to each End Device.

2. Test your system before permanent mounting. Try to move the devices to
different location around and mounting angles to determine what
installation achieves the best signal strength before permanently
mounting the End Device.

3. Move your system components higher off the floor and away from exterior
walls. The closer the End Device and Meter are, the greater the
interference and lose of signal strength will be.

4. Maintain a line-of-sight between antennas and keep Fresnel zone free of
obstruction. See Figure 5.2.

5. Maintain a constant ambient temperature environment. Exposing your
system components to extreme cold or hot temperatures, or sudden
changes in ambient conditions will have an effect on the performance of
your system.

6. As a general rule in buildings, head height or above is preferred. On the
other hand, an End Device which stays close to the floor may have its
range reduced by 50% to 90%.

7. Where possible, try to ensure an uninterrupted line-of-sight between

nodes. Avoid obscuring objects (e.g. metal pillars, posts, sign) near the
antenna. A close object obscures a wider range of solid angle.

8. It is important to understand that the environment may change over time
due to new equipment or machinery being installed, building construction,
etc. If new obstacles exist between the End Device and Meter, antenna
angle may need to be re-adjusted and/or the unit has to be relocated.

9. An IEEE 802.15.4 wireless network will not work under water. Wet
condition (e.g. in heavy rainfall) may exhibit some degradation. In most
cases, water droplets on or close to the antenna are more serious than
the rain itself. Humidity can affect radio performance as well.

10. Reduced performance scenario:

a. A large building may have few obstructions between nodes but large

amount of metallic paneling that cause reflections.

b. A small domestic installation may have numerous brick walls between

nodes in individual rooms.

c. An office building may have metalized dry-wall partitions together with

mezzanine ceilings.

Data is sent through radio signal at 2.4 GHz. Radio signals are
electromagnetic waves, hence the signal becomes weaker the further it
travels.

While radio waves can penetrate some solid materials like a wall, they
can diminish more than when a direct line-of-sight between the
transmitting and receiving antenna exist.

Therefore, it is generally a good idea to place Meter at the center while
End Devices are located about the same distance away from it. If
possible, keeping clearance around the line of site will improve
performance as well.

Figure 5.1 Operation in Buildings

68

5.2 With Line-of-Sight

When installing the Meter it is important to position your device in such a way to
optimize the antenna location within what’s known as the "Fresnel Zone".

The Fresnel Zone can be thought of as a football-shaped invisible tunnel
between two locations that provides a path for RF signals between the End
Device and the Meter.

Figure 5.2 Fresnel Zone

In order to achieve maximum range, the football-shaped path in which radio
waves travel must be free of obstructions. Obstacles in the path (especially
metal) will decrease the communication range between the End Device and
Meter.

Also, if the antennas are mounted just barely off the ground or below the ceiling,
over half of the Fresnel zone ends up being obstructed resulting in significant
reduction in range.

Below is the calculated radius of the football-shaped tunnel for different distance
range:

Distance (feet) Radius (feet)

100 3.2
200 4.5
300 5.5

It is recommended that within the tunnel of the above radius, at least 60% of

space is free of obstruction.

Since signal reaches destination directly in a line-of-sight situation, it is important

to adjust the antenna properly to achieve maximum performance. Antenna for
the Meter and End Device should be perpendicular to the plane where the Meter
and End Device is located.

69

5.3 Without Line-of-Sight

When line-of-sight is not possible, signal penetrates and is reflected by different
objects to reach the destination. Therefore, it is important to learn about how
these materials would affect signal propagation.

Depending on the thickness, moisture content and angle of incidence, a wall
may allow between 1% and 25% of the radio power to pass through.

Metal panel or metalized glass window will not allow much radio power to pass
through. Signal will be reflected if the panel is a mirror.

Some radio power may propagate through small holes in the panel or around
metal edges through the process of diffraction.

Material Type Possible Signal

Reduction

Wood, Plaster, Sheetrock, Fiberglass
Uncoated Glass w/out Metal 0 to 10%

Brick, Pressboard 5 to 35%
Reinforced Concrete 10 to 90%
Metal Walls, Metal Doors, Elevators, Metal Piping,

Metal Stair Cases, Metal Mesh, Metal Screening 90 to 100%

Figure 5.3 Materials in Buildings

In a non-line-of-sight situation at 2.45 GHz, it is possible to move the receive
antenna only 1 to 1 1/2" (3 to 4 cm) and see signal strength varies from
6 dB to -20 dB due to multiple signal reflection path. Therefore, there should be
about 20 dB path loss margin to take signal fading into account.

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.

78

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

79

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

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.

Appendix F Warnings and Regulatory Information

In order to comply with FCC radio frequencies (RF) exposure limits, dipole antennas
should be located at a minimum 7.9" (200mm) or more from the body of all persons.

This device complies with part 15 rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and

2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
residential environment. This equipment generates, uses, and radiates radio frequency
energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur. If this equipment
does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to correct the interference by one of the
following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from which the receiver is
connected.

• Consult dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.

83

Appendix F Warnings and Regulatory Information (continued)

The following alert sign indicates that there are restrictions on usage of the
equipment in regards to power limitations on Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power
(EIRP) levels in the European Community.

The following are user restrictions:

• Wideband Data Transmission Systems on the band 2400 – 2483.5 MHz in Europe is
limited to a Maximum of 10 mW (10 dBm) for Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS).
See Annex 3 of ERC/REC 70-03, decision ERC/DEC/ (01)07.

• Combinations of power levels and antennas resulting in a radiated power level above
10 mW - EIRP for Direct Sequence Spectrum (DSSS) devices are considered as not
compliant, and are not allowed for use within the European Community and other
countries that have adopted the European R&TTE directive 1995/5/EC or the CEPT
recommendation ERC/REC 70-03 or both.

• The users in Europe are instructed to change the default 20 dBm level to 10 dBm via the
Web Interface of the Meter/Receiver.

MAXIMUM POWER LEVELS AND ANTENNA GAINS

Antenna Gain Output Max Maximum Radiated

U.S.A (Regulatory 4W) 2.2 dBi 18.0 dBm 20 dBm
EUROPE (Regulatory 10mW) 2.2 dBi 7.0 - 7.5 dBm 10 dBm

(DSSS)

The default 20 dBm must be changed to 10 dBm to comply with power level
regulations. The 0.5 dBm variation depends on the internal DC power used (3V,

3.3V, 3.7V max) of the different models.
