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 and UWRTD “Universal Wireless RTD”. For more information about the UWTC and UWRTD,
refer to the separate manual for these products. The wiSeries 1/8 DIN Panel Meter & Controller can monitor up to eight (8) wireless sensors.
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.
MONITOR AND ALARM: The Meter comes standard with a choice of either two Form C relays, or two SSR’s (solid state relays) that can be used for 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.
MONITOR & 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 and RTD’s.
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 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 "Oven 5" or "Test 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. The "Mail Notifier" software is a free and easy program for this application.
CHARTS AND GRAPHS: The wiSeries system serves Active Web Pages to display real time readings and charts of temperature. You can also log data in standard data formats for use in a spreadsheet or data acquisition program such as Excel or Visual Basic. We offer a free and easy to use program iLog for logging data to Excel.
The virtual chart viewed on the web page is a JAVA™ Applet that records a chart over the LAN or Internet in real time. With the wiSeries system there is no need to invest time and money learning a proprietary software program to log or chart the data. Chart scales are fully adjustable on the fly. For example, the chart can display one minute, one hour, one day, one week, one month or one year. Temperature can be charted across the full span or within any narrow range such as (20 to 30°C).

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.

2.1.5 Electrical Installation
2.1.5.1 Power Connections
Warning: Do not connect ac power to your meter until you have
completed all output connections. This meter must only be installed by a specially trained electrician with corresponding qualifications. Failure to follow all instructions and warnings may result in injury!
Connect the main power connections as shown below.
Figure 2.7 Main Power Connections
Table 2.3 Fuse Requirement (See Specifications Section)
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 Network Communication Interfaces
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.
Figure 2.12 RJ45 Pinout
2.2.2 10Base-T Crossover Wiring
When connecting the iServer directly to the computer, the transmit data pins of the computer should be wired to the receive data pins of the Meter, and vice versa. The 10Base-T crossover cable with pin connection assignments are shown below.
Figure 2.13 10Base-T Crossover Cable Wiring
Use straight through cable for connecting the Meter to an Ethernet hub. The ports on the hub are already crossed.

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 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.
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 sixteen 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 Novell networks or Windows 2000 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.
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 be the same as the Meter’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 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.

3.5.2 Changing TCP/IP Properties on Your Computer
Go to your computer’s Control Panel then Network Connections. Pick the network with the proper Ethernet card. Right click and choose
Properties

Look for Internet Protocol, click on it and press Properties
You can access the Meter’s web server via any internet browser using IP address of 192.168.1.200.
Once you log into the Meter’s web server, you will be able to change its IP configuration according to
Section 4.2.
After you configure the Meter’s IP configurations, you should go back and set your PC’s previous IP settings.
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.
4.0 Testing the Connection
Figure 4.1 Pinging the Meter 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.

4.2 Setting a New IP Address over the Network
Besides using the iConnect software, you may use the Meter’s default IP address to access it and assign a new IP address to it.
The Meter 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 Meter’s IP address (192.168.1.x) and connect to the Meter using a crossover network cable between your PC and the Meter.
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 the Web browser and type in http://192.168.1.200
and it will take you to the Wireless System’ Home
Page. Select button, you’ll be asked for the password. You should be
on the Access Control page were you can simply type in the desired Static IP address, and click Save.
For more details about the “Access Control” page refer to Section 4.3.10.
Figure 4.4 Access Control
For the IP address to take effect, the Meter needs to be turned OFF and ON using the “Network Reset” button. Pressing the physical button marked “RESET” on the Meter does the same thing.

4.3.1 Power Up Meter
For instructions on how to power the Meter, refer to Section 2.1.5. To verify that a 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 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 data alternately. To avoid this, turn the End Device one by one and verify that the Meter is displaying the correct data.

1. Go to your computer's Control Panel. Open the Java Plug-in
2. Select the "Cache" Tab
Un-check the "Enable Caching" box
3. Select the "Proxy" Tab. Follow these Browser Proxy Selection
instructions below. (Generally, un-check the box if accessing the Meter on your local network and check the box for access from your internal network to the internet.)
4. Refresh or restart the webpage.
To disable cache setting: For Java Version 1.4.2.x it is found under the CACHE TAB.

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 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 Wireless System 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 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:\\zServer_TEST”. 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.

4.3.4 Java Policy (continued)
5)Change Java Applet’s Runtime Parameters found on the following path:
a. Control Panel --> Java --> Java Control Panel --> Java Tab --> View b. Inside the box under the Java Runtime Parameters type the following:
“-Djava.security.policy=C:\0_JAVAPOLICY\java_policy.txt”
c. Click OK on the Java Runtime Settings window. d. Click Apply on the Java Control Panel window and then OK.
6) Close all opened Web browser.

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 Alarm 1 Setpoint 2: This setpoint controls Alarm 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: 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.

4.3.7.3 Loop Break
Loop Break: can be enabled or disabled. Loop Break is an additional safety
feature intended to monitor the rate of change of the temperature value, while approaching the Setpoints. It is strictly intended as an additional warning system; therefore its use is entirely optional. An active Loop Break will cause the temperature digits to blink in a rotating pattern. If the temperature reaches the setpoint the blinking will stop, otherwise the Break Alarm warning will flash, and the Output will be turned off.
Loop Break Time: allows the user to determine the time interval in MM:SS (from zero to 99 minutes and 59 seconds) that the value changes 4° Fahrenheit or 2° Celsius.

Alarm 1 (or 2) Relay: To enable or disable (no alarm functions) the alarms . Alarm 1 (or 2) Low: editable box for the low alarm value. 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. To reset already latched alarm, select Unlatched and press Update. 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. 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.

A) General Secured Applet: If checked, the LOGIN password is required to open
“Readings” and “Chart” pages.
Title: Meter’s name [maximum of 16 alphanumeric characters] 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 and humidity 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.
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 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.

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 external sensor (process). 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 read from the “Input” menu if the Controller
Setup. 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:
T75F T74F
If the end character for instance is 20 (Hex representation of space), the data will then appear as: T75F T74F
If nothing is set for the “Remote End Char” field, the Meter will then forward the data to the LAN with no characters followed.

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 Login 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 16 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.
Network Reset: Reboots the embedded server. Note that all updated network parameters take effect after reboot.
Changes made in the Access Control page can be saved permanently by pressing the Save button and pressing the Network Reset button.
Pressing the Reset button will set all the fields back to their default values.

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.
62
4.5.1 HTTPget using Port 2000 (continued)
3). Next run HTTPget with the options displayed below
httpget -r -S *SR00z 192.168.1.135:2000 -C1 -q
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
Figure 4.26 HTTPget Example of Polling End Device #2,6,7
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.
63
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 plus IP address Use this command to manually delete a static entry. 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

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%.
70
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.
Figure 5.1 Operation in Buildings
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.
71
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.
72
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.
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
81
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
Class A
255.0.0.0 (Default) 0
255.192.0.0 2
255.224.0.0 3
255.240.0.0 4
255.248.0.0 5
255.252.0.0 6
255.254.0.0 7
255.255.0.0 8
255.255.128.0 9
255.255.192.0.0 10
……………......... .
255.255.255.252 22
Class B
255.255.0.0 (Default) 0
255.255.192.0 2
……………......... .
255.255.255.252 14
Class C
255.255.255.0 (Default) 0
255.255.255.192 2 …………………. .
255.255.255.254 6
To determine the number of valid hosts ID’s remaining after subnetting, use the following equation: 2n– 2, where n is the number of octet digits left after the subnet mask.
