winning technology that requires no special software except a Web browser. The iServer connects to an Ethernet Network with a standard RJ45 connector and sends data in standard TCP/IP packets. It is easily configured with a simple menu using a Web browser and can be password protected. From within an Ethernet LAN or over the Internet, the user simply types its IP address or an easy to remember name such as "Cleanroom 5" or "Midwest Server Room" in any Web Browser, and the iServer serves a Web Page with the current readings. The iServer comes complete with one temperature/barometric pressure wand probe, full documentation and software.
Alarms and Email. If temperature and/or barometric pressure exceeds a set limit, the iServer can trigger an alarm that could be sent by email to an Internet enabled pager or cell phone.
A standard web browser can be used to monitor and chart temperature and barometric pressure. The browser can also be used to configure the device’s IP address, passwords for access and overall configuration parameters. An iLD Big Display can display temperature and barometric pressure received from an iServer over the Ethernet or the Internet.
The following example illustrates how you can hookup an iServer and iLD to your network:

2.6.1 10Base-T RJ-45 Pinout
The 10BASE-T Ethernet network (RJ45) system is used in the iServer for network connectivity. The 10 Mbps twisted-pair Ethernet system operates over two pairs of wires. One pair is used for receiving data signals and the other pair is used for transmitting data signals. This means that four pins of the eight-pin connector are used.
2.6.2 10Base-T Crossover Wiring
When connecting the iServer directly to the computer’s network port, the transmit data pins of the computer should be wired to the receive data pins of the iServer, and vice versa. The 10Base-T crossover cable with pin connection assignments are shown below.
Use straight through cable for connecting the iServer to an Ethernet hub. The ports on the hub are already crossed.
2.7 Relay Wiring Connections
To access the Relay Connector you must remove the cover, refer to Section 2.4.
It is recommended that you ground your unit by connecting a wire to the Ground/Return position of the relay connector. Or by wrapping a wire around the mounting tab screw (on older units) and tightening a lock washer so that it embeds itself into the metal of the mounting tab.

2.8 Running on Battery Power
Battery and S5 jumper installed: if there is a power outage the iServer board will be fully functional including the Ethernet and LCD backlight “ON” for approximately 1 hour.
You need to make sure that the LCD/PWR field on the Configuration page of the iServer is set to UPS (see Section 4.3.5.A)
Battery installed and S5 jumper in storage position (Factory Default of S5): if there is a power outage the LCD Backlight and Ethernet will not run, but the unit will be collecting and storing data for approximately 10 days.
When you first connect the battery, without the AC power adapter, the unit will be in “Sleep Mode”, in order to save power, and the LCD will display “Flash Standby” (provided that S5 jumper is not installed). When battery is installed, plug the AC adapter into unit and push the Flash Reset Button (refer to Figure 2.4 or Figure 2.5). Unit is now ready to be configured for recording the data. Also, if the AC adapter is unplugged while the unit is recording, the battery will take over and recording will continue.

2.8 Running on Battery Power (continued)
If you want to move the unit to a different location, remove the AC adapter; the installed battery will keep the recording alive until the AC adapter is plugged back in.
In case of power outage and the unit is running on a low battery, the message “Ack bitP Stand by” will appear on the LCD display.
2.9 Flash Memory Format
A 2 Meg flash memory card is included with your product. This memory card is already formatted; however, the following procedure describes how to format your memory card.
Once the memory card is formatted, all the data that had previously been recorded will be replaced by simulated test data (see Figure 2.9).
1) Unplug the AC adapter from the unit.
2) Hold down the ºC/ºF button and connect the AC adapter back into the unit. Release the ºC/ºF button.º
3) You will see the following message appear on the LCD: *ºWAITº* *FLASH*.
4) Wait for about 60 seconds and a new message should appear: *ºWAITº* *OKAY*.
5) Press the ºC/ºF button once and this message will appear: DATA_REC
ORD_TEST.
6) Press the TIME button and this message will appear: ORD_TEST DATA_REC.
7) Press the STBY button, the firmware version of the unit will appear, followed by *OKAY*.
8) Again, press the ºC/ºF button, the firmware version, followed by *WAIT* will apear and then will switch to firmware version, followed by *OKAY*.

PART 3
NETWORK CONFIGURATION
3.1 Network Protocols
The iServer can be connected to the network using standard TCP/IP protocols. It also supports ARP, HTTP (WEB server), DHCP, DNS and Telnet protocols.
3.2 Ethernet (MAC) Address
MAC (Media Access Control) address is your computer's unique hardware number. When you're connected to the LAN from your computer, a correspondence table relates
your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address. The MAC address can be found on a label attached to your device and contains 6 bytes
(12 characters) of hexadecimal numbers XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX hex For example: 0A:0C:3D:0B:0A:0B
Remove the small label with the default IP address and there will be room to put your IP address. See Figure 3.1

DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol enables individual computers or devices to extract their IP configurations from a server (DHCP server). If the DHCP is enabled on your iServer, as soon as the iServer is connected to the network, there is an exchange of information between DHCP server and the iServer. During this process the IP address, the Gateway address, and the Subnet Mask will be assigned to the iServer by the DHCP server. Note that the DHCP server must be configured correctly to do such assignment.
If a fixed or static IP address is desired, the DHCP must be disabled. The iServer is shipped with DHCP disabled (factory default). The DHCP can be enabled by setting the DIP switch #3 to the “ON” position (refer to Figure 3.2).
To enable the DHCP, besides using DIP switch #3, set the iServer’s IP address to 0.0.0.0. An iServer with IP address of 0.0.0.0 will request an IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask from the DHCP server over the Ethernet.
If the DHCP is enabled, the iServer will not fully boot-up until the DHCP IP address is received. While the iServer is requesting an IP address from the DHCP server the iServer’s LCD display will show the firmware version. It will display the
Figure 3.2 DIP Switch on the
Bottom Side of iServer
readings once the DHCP IP assignment is complete.
3.4 DNS
DNS, Domain Name System enables individual computers and devices to be recognized over a network based on a specific name instead of an IP address. For example, instead of having to use http://192.168.1.200 (IP address), you would use only http://eis03ec or any eight character name stored as Host Name under the Access Control page in the iServer Home Page. The default DNS name for an iServer is "eis" followed by the last four digits of the MAC address of that particular iServer.
1. It is very important to communicate with the network administrator in order to understand the DHCP and its existing configurations on the host server, before enabling the DHCP on the iServer.
2. The iServers are shipped with a default static IP address of
192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.
3. On Windows servers where DHCP 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.
3.5 IP Address
Every active device connected to the TCP/IP network must have a unique IP address. This IP address is used to build a connection to the iServer. Every computer using TCP/IP should have a unique 32-bit address. It is divided into two portions, the network ID and the host ID. For instance, every computer on the same network uses the same network ID. At the same time, all of them have a different host ID. For more details about the IP address see Appendix B.

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

OPERATIONS
This iServer can be used and configured in several ways, depending on user’s preference and network setup. It can be configured using a Web browser, like Netscape or Internet Explorer. It can also be configured using NEWPORT’s iConnect Configuration Software.
If DHCP and DNS servers are used, the connection is very simple, no need to find the right IP address or watch for network conflicts, these are all done for you by your network DHCP and DNS server. All that is left for you to do, is to enable DHCP on the iServer (see Section 3.3) and use a straight network cable to connect the iServer to a hub and power it up.
If DHCP is not the preferred method, you can configure your PC’s network connection with an IP address of 192.168.1.x that is in the same range as the iServer’s default IP address (192.168.1.200) and connect to the iServer using a cross-over network cable between your PC’s network port and the iServer. After you’re done with configuring the iServer, you can always set your PC back to its original settings.
On your computer, from the MS-DOS Prompt window type "ping 192.168.1.200” and press Enter. If DHCP and DNS servers are used type “ping eisxxxx”, where xxxx are the last four digits of the iServer’s MAC address, located on the back of the device. You should get a reply as shown in Figure 4.1.
You can use the iServer’s host name (eisxxxx) instead of its 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
This proves that the connection is proper and you can get into configuration or run mode using the Telnet or Web browser.
