everything listed. Inspect the container and equipment for signs of damage as soon as you receive the shipment. Note any evidence of rough handling in transit. Immediately report any damage to the shipping agent. The carrier will not honor damage claims unless all shipping material is saved for inspection. After examining and removing the contents, save the packing material and carton in the event reshipment is necessary.

Customer Service: If you need assistance, please contact the Customer Service Department nearest you.

Manuals, Software: The latest Operation Manual as well as free software and iServer Mail Notifier are available at the website listed on the cover page of this manual or

on the CD-ROM enclosed with your shipment.

1.3 Description View Temperature + Barometric Pressure with a Web Browser. The iServer let’s you

monitor and record Temperature and Barometric Pressure over an Ethernet network or the Internet with no special software except a Web browser. The iServer serves Active Web Pages to display real time readings and display charts of temperature and barometric pressure, or log data in standard data formats for use in a spreadsheet or data acquisition program such as Excel or Visual Basic.

Adjustable Charts. The Java™ Applet chart scales are fully adjustable on the fly. For example, the chart can display one day, one week, one month or one year. Temperature and barometric pressure can be charted across the full span (-40 to 123ºC) or within any narrow range (such as 20-30ºC). Barometric pressure can be displayed in hectopascals (hPa), millimeters of Mercury (mmHg), or inches of Mercury (inHg).

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.

Page 13

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*.

9) Unplug the AC adapter and plug it back in. The flash memory card is now formatted. To verify whether the formatting was completed correctly, you should be able to see the following graph on the WEB server’s “Chart” page.

PART 3

NETWORK CONFIGURATION

3.1 Network Protocols

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

3.2 Ethernet (MAC) Address

MAC (Media Access Control) address is your computer's unique hardware number. When you're connected to the LAN from your computer, a correspondence table relates

your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address. The MAC address can be found on a label attached to your device and contains 6 bytes

(12 characters) of hexadecimal numbers XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX hex For example: 0A:0C:3D:0B:0A:0B

Remove the small label with the default IP address and there will be room to put your IP address. See Figure 3.1

Figure 3.1 Labeling

101011

Page 15

3.3 DHCP

OFF

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.

Figure 4.1 Pinging the iServer from MS-DOS Prompt

Page 18

4.1 iConnect Software

The iServer may also be assigned an IP Address by using the iConnect software. a) Download the iConnect software from the website listed in this manual. b) Install iConnect software on a networked PC. This software is compatible with

Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, and XP.

c) Use iConnect to assign an IP address to the iServer and access its web pages for

configuration. You can also use any standard web browser to access the iServer’s web pages. Consult with your IT department for obtaining an IP address.

Besides using the iConnect software, you may use the iServer’s default IP address to access it and assign a new IP address to it.

The iServer is shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of

255.255.255.0. You can configure your PC’s Network connection with an IP address that

is in the same range as the iServer’s IP address (192.168.1.x) and connect to the iServer using a crossover network cable between your PC and the iServer.

With this completed, you can go to the DOS-Prompt and ping 192.168.1.200. If you receive responses back (Figure 4.1), you can go to a Web browser and type in http://192.168.1.200 and it will take you to the iServer’s main web page.

Select

button, you’ll be asked for the password. The default LOGIN password is "12345678" and the ADMINISTRATOR password is "00000000", then you should be on the Access Control page were you can simply type in the desired Static IP address, and click Save.

For the IP address to take effect, the iServer needs to be turned OFF/ON. Clicking on the “Save” button will save the changes and turn the iServer (only the Ethernet board of the unit) OFF and ON. Pressing the physical button marked “RESET” on the iServer (right next to the RJ45 Ethernet Port) will also power reset the Ethernet board.

You can now connect the iServer to an Ethernet hub using a straight through cable, power it up, and follow the ping routine mentioned in the previous section.

Read Sensor

While accessing the Read Sensor page, If a blank screen appears without any “java application running” or image of a “Java logo”, please verify you have the latest Java Runtime Environment installed and configured according to the following instructions. If you do not have Java Runtime Environment, you may download it from our website or contact the Customer Service Department nearest you.

4.3.1.1 Java Runtime Environment 1.4 Setup instructions

Figure 4.7 Read Sensor

1. Go to your computer's Control Panel. Open the Java Plug-in

2. Select the "Cache" Tab

3. Select the "Proxy" Tab. Follow these Browser Proxy Selection instructions

4. Refresh or restart the webpage.

Un-check the "Enable Caching" box

below. (Generally, un-check the box if accessing iServers on your local network and check the box for access from your internal network to the internet.)

Page 23

4.3.1.2 Java Runtime Environment 1.5 (5.0) Setup instructions

1. Go to your computer's Control Panel. Open the Java Plug-in

2. Click on "Settings" & "View Applets" in the "General" tab.

3. Select the "Settings" button on the General Tab Un-check the "Enable Caching" box. Then close dialog box to show the General Tab

again

4. Select the "Network Settings" button on the General Tab. Proceed to the Browser tab. Follow the Browser Proxy Selection instructions

below.You should either select the "Use Browser Settings" option or the "Direct Connection" option depending on the network connections between your computer and the iServer product. (Generally, select "Direct Connection" if accessing iServers on your local network and select "Use Browser Settings" option for access from your internal network to the internet.)

5. Refresh or restart the webpage.

4.3.1.3 Browser Proxy Selection Accessing iServer units within your internal network

• Usually when the computer and iServer are on an internal network, you will not use Proxy

server access.

• You should un-check the "Use Browser Settings" option on the "Proxy" tab. Accessing iServer units using the internet

• Often the web browser will use Proxy server access to the internet. In such cases, the

default Java runtime settings on the "Proxy" tab should suffice. The default setting is the "Use Browser Settings" option.

• If the default proxy setting doesn't work, then you may have a situation where the proxy settings of the web browser are incorrect.

Diagnostics:

If the web page of the iServer appears, then the HTTP Proxy is working fine. If the data isn't updated on the iServer upon selecting the Read Sensor web page, there may be

a problem with access through a winsock proxy server. In such cases your network administrator will need to provide the winsock proxy server and port #s. (If the administrator requires knowledge of the port # required on the iServer, the value is 2003).

These values should be entered into the Socks line on the "Proxy" tab (of the Java Plugin control panel) or into the "connections" tab on the View,Internet Options dialog and make sure that the Proxy tab shows that the "Use Browser Settings" option is not selected (i.e. when you specify proxy connections in the Java Plugin control panel.

Accessing iServer units over Peer-to-Peer network A simple peer-to-peer network is setup by disconnecting from the main network (as users will

often do when trying to do initial setup of the iServer) and then connecting the iServer to another computer using a ethernet hub, an ethernet switch, or a Cross-over cable connection.

Often when using a peer-to-peer network, the Java plugin and the web browser (such as Internet Explorer) have internet connections configured to connect through proxy servers. In such case, you will need to simply assign the final IP address on this peer to peer network and then view the iServer charts after connecting the iServer into the regular network. Otherwise you can disable the Java plug-in's "Use Browser Settings" temporarily and then reconfigure the Java plug-in settings for regular network access after testing the iServer chart access on your peerto-peer network.

The "Use Browser Settings" should not be selected. And the HTTP and Socks proxy entries should be blank. Also, setup the internet browser so that proxy servers are disabled.

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 iServer will not require a password to access and modify iServer Home page menu items.

Admin (administrator) Password: This allows users to access and modify the "Access Control" page. The default password is 00000000. This password can be up to 16 alphanumeric case-sensitive characters. If there is no Administrator Password assigned (blank box) the iServer will not require password to access and modify "Access Control" page.

Secured Reading & Chart: If checked, the LOGIN password is required to open “Read Sensor” and “Chart” Java applets.

Host Name: Refer to Section 3.4, DNS. MAC Address: This is also called Hardware address or Ethernet address, which is

assigned to the iServer at production. The MAC (Media Access Control) address is the iServer’s unique hardware number and is not changeable.

IP Address: The IP (Internet Protocol) address is a 32-bit number that identifies each sender or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the Ethernet or the Internet. The iServer’s default IP address is 192.168.1.200. The iServer’s IP address should be changed to fit user’s networking environment. Consult with your IT department for obtaining an IP address.

Page 27

4.3.4 Access Control (continued) Gateway Address: A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another

network. A gateway is often associated with a router, which knows where to direct a given packet of data that arrives at the gateway. If the iServer is sending packets to another network node that is not on the same network on which the iServer is connected, a gateway address needs to be given to the iServer.

The gateway address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same LAN to which the iServer is connected. The iServer’s default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. Consult with your IT department for obtaining a gateway address.

Subnet Mask: It is a 32-bit number that is used to determine which part of the IP address is the network portion and which part is the host portion. The iServer’s default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Consult with your IT department for obtaining a subnet mask.

4.3.5 Configuration

Setting up the Flash Memory Card can be done in the Configuration page. From the Home Page Menu click on .

Configuration

Below are the definitions of terms used in the Configuration page, refer to Figure 4.11 for each described Section (A through J).

A) Configuration/Device Setup

Clicking on the No. 1, 2, or 3 allows you to modify the Sensor Parameters (see Section 4.3.6 for more details).

Title: Editable field with up to 16 characters long. The given name will display as a title

on the “Chart” and “Read Sensor” pages either for the real-time data or the stored data.

Sensor Unit: The unit of temperature either in degree Fahrenheit F or degree Celcius C

for each type of barometric pressure unit hPa, inHg or mmHg.

LCD/PWR: The selections are “ON ”, “OFF ”, and “UPS”. Selecting “OFF” will cause the LCD to turn off during a power outage, provided the

battery is connected. The current consumption is about 1.5 mA or 3 mA depending on “OFF ” or “ON ” selection respectively.

If recording is “ON “, depending on the recording interval, the LCD will be updated every 10 seconds or 1 minute. Therefore, when the LCD is set to “ON ”, it could take some time before the LCD is turned on. If recording is not “ON “, the LCD will be updated every 10 seconds.

Selecting “UPS” puts the iServer into full operational mode when it’s running on the battery (S5 jumper needs to be installed, see Section 2.5 and 2.8). This means that in case of power outage, sensing, recording, LCD display, and network communication capabilities of the iServer will all operate on the battery. Due to heavy power consumption the battery will not last more than an hour.

B) Flash Card Size

Reports the Flash Card size and if it is already recorded, how many locations are filled.

0-Megabytes: Flash Card is not installed or is a bad Flash Card

2-Megabytes, 4-Megabytes, 8-Megabytes: available sizes of Flash Cards.

E) Alarm Setup

There are two alarms which can be assigned to temperature or barometric pressure. (one alarm to each variable).

Alarm Type: Selections are Temperature (T) or Barometric Pressure (B) and and Above Setpoint (Hi) or Below Setpoint (Lo):

T&T:Hi/Lo T&B:Hi/Lo T&B:Hi/Hi B&B:Hi/Lo T&B:Lo/Hi T&B:Lo/Lo No Alarm

Example: If T&T:Hi/Lo is selected, the temperature will be monitored against these two Hi and Lo values. If temperature goes above Hi value, Relay 1 will be energized, and if temperature goes below Lo value Relay 2 will be energized.

Enabled Alarm: Selections of “Latched ” or “Unlatch” are available. If “Unlatch” is selected, the relay in the iServer will be turned on (closed) when the

temperature and/or barometric pressure values fall outside of Setpoint range. When the temperature and/or barometric pressure values are back within the range, the relay will be turned off (opened).

If “Latched” is selected, the relay in the iServer will be turned on (closed) when the temperature and/or barometric pressure values fall outside of Setpoint range and will remain on until the user turns it off.

SP1

and SP2: Editable box for Setpoint values. The format is nnnn.n, it must be followed exactly otherwise the modification will not take place for any modified item in the Alarm Setup.

All the Alarm Settings will be lost if the unit is power cycled. In order to keep the Alarm Settings permanently you will need to Start the

Recording. You can then Stop the Recording, if data recording is not needed. This will ensure the Alarm Settings will be saved on the Flash Memory Card.

Page 30

4.3.5 Configuration (continued) F) Terminal Server

TCP/UDP*: The iServer supports TCP and UDP protocols (default is TCP).

If UDP is selected, it can be configured either for Broadcast UDP or Directed UDP. In case of Broadcast UDP, the iServer will transmit the data to every node on the

network. This can be accomplished if the Remote IP Address is set to

255.255.255.255. The Broadcast UDP is a practical solution when one iServer needs to communicate with multiple nodes over the network.

In the case of Directed UDP, the iServer will transmit the data to a specific node on the network. This can be accomplished if the Remote IP Address is set to the IP address of that specific node.

Server Type: Continuous mode sends the temperature and barometric pressure to the Ethernet, every two seconds. It is mainly used to send readings to a remote display.

Command mode (default) needs a command to query the iServer to send the reponse back to querying device.

Forward CR: Forward CR can be enabled and disabled. If enabled the iServer 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 sensor connected to the iServer.

If 1 is selected, only one network connection can be made to the iServer’s. Any number more than 1 would allow that number of network hosts to read from the

iServer simultaneously (default is 5). Port: Port 2000 is the default TCP port for the iServer’s port to which the sensors are

connected. Ports 1000 (used for HTTPget, refer to Section 4.5), 2002, 2003, and 2004 are

reserved for internal use.

Terminal Server usually describes a device that exchanges data between Ethernet/TCPIP networks and RS-232/RS-485 systems.

With this iServer, the data is obtained digitally from the sensor (irrelevant to RS-232 or RS-485 interface) and can be accessed from anywhere on the network.

A computer program, such as the Mail Notifier, OPC Server, iLog, iFlash or HTTPget can send TCP requests and obtain readings using the Terminal Server feature.

Time Stamp

: If checked, the Barometric Pressure/Temperature values will be

stamped with time and date using Port 1000 (HTTPget program must be used, see Section 4.5.1).

G) Remote Access

Remote IP Address: iServer can establish a connection to a remote device (e.g. an

iLD Remote Display with an Ethernet iServer embedded board) with this IP. Remote Port: (default 2000) the remote port number for the connection. Ports 1000 (used for HTTPget, refer to Section 4.5), 2002, 2003, and 2004 are

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

iServer can send its data to a remote node on the same network (the “Remote IP address” and “Remote Port” must be entered).

*TCP/UDP: when UDP mode is selected, Remote Access should be disabled and Remote IP and Port are the UDP remote listening IP and Port. If the Remote IP is set to 255.255.255.255, the UDP packet becomes a broadcasting packet which will allow any device listening to the Remote port to receive the packet.

**If Remote Access is enabled, Terminal Server is automatically disabled.

H) Update

This button will save and update all changes made on the Configuration page. Clicking on the “Update” button will also refresh the Configuration page and will give you the latest Clock Time.

4.3.5.3 Important Recording Notes

• While the recording is in progress, the first letter of the measurement unit (“h”P, “i”Hg

or “m”Hg), located on the LCD screen blinks continuously.

• Downloading data and recording can not be done at the same time.

While downloading data, the writing process to the flash memory will be internally disabled while the data is being read from the memory flash.

For small amounts of data to be retrieved (1 Day or 1 Week), this is not a significant interruption in the recording data. However, for large amounts of data (1 Month or 1 Year) it may take 4 to 8 minutes to download the data.

In “Archives_Enabled “ mode, charting remains static, while data download is taking place.

• The number of barometric pressure/temperature values that can be recorded depends on the memory flash capacity (2 Mbytes, 4 Mbytes or 8 Mbytes) and the recording interval time, e.g. 1 minute interval for 4 Mbytes is 1,081,212 minutes or 750 days.

If the flash is busy sending data to the applet to chart the archive, the iServer will refuse to initiate a call to provide archived data to the second applet until it has finished with the first one.

• In case of a power outage and no battery backup, if the unit is recording, the

recording will stop but the data that was stored will be saved. Please note, the last recorded data (30 minutes to an hour, depending on time

interval) could be lost, due to the fact that the data is initially stored to the buffer before it is transferred to the Flash Memory and loss of power will erase the data in the buffer.

• After you start recording, if you need to make any changes in the Recording Settings

you must either click on “Stop Recording” button or push the RESET button on the side of the iServer and reconfigure the Recording Settings. If you push the RESET button while the Recording is ON, you could lose a small amount of data that was left in the buffer.

• If you stop the recording prematurely, when you download the data, you will lose the

last 256 bytes of the data that was left in the buffer and was not transferred into the flash card. Therefore, we strongly suggest downloading the data while the recording is still ON and then stop the recording if desired.

Below are some definitions of terms used in the Sensor Parameters page. Sensor Name: Text field and can take up to 16 alphanumeric characters, it shows on

the “Configuration” and the “Read Sensor” page. Remote Display Format: Remote display format is used for Terminal Server continuous

mode. P0000.0mbar in barometric pressure setting, displays P and 0000.0mbar is the

barometric pressure value displayed. Example: if the barometric pressure is 1014.4, then P1014.4mbar will be seen in the

remote display. If no format is specified (blank), there is no reading sent out. If temperature is 76.25 and 00.0F is used in temperature setting, the remote site will show

76.2F. This format setup is originally based on iLD Remote Display, which has four or six LEDs.

For six LEDs, T00.00F format, and for four LEDs, 00.0F formats are appropriate.

Remote End Char

that the iServer sends <CR> after each temperature and barometric pressure value. This will be done only in Continuous mode.

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

T75.7F P1014.9mbar

If the end character, for instance, is 20 (Hex representation of space), the data will then appear as: T75.7F P1014.9mbar

If nothing is set for the “Remote End Char” field, the iServer will then forward the data to the LAN with no characters followed.

Offset: Since the sensing probe is solid state electronics, there is no need for calibration. If it’s determined that the readings are slightly off, the user can manually assign numerical values (including negative) to adjust the readings for temperature and barometric pressure. For temperature offset, the unit must be in degree C, for barometric pressure the unit must be in hPa. The Offset can be changed while recording is on.

You may type any ASCII

: The default value is 0D (Hex representation of <CR>). This means

4.4 Telnet Setup

Set the Number of Connections to 1-5 other than 0, using telnet simulation program connect to iServer. In continuous mode, the telnet teminal will receive continuous messages from the iServer. In command mode, the command can be sent to query the iServer and get a response back. Refer to Figure 3.3

Send remote reset: Telnet port 2002 will bring a terminal for admin password. After typing the password and following with the end character, the message Admin. Login Successful will be showed on the terminal. Now type "reset" following with return character to reset the iServer. If no character is received within 20 seconds, the terminal will be closed automatically.

Initiating the archive chart while Telnet is active will halt Telnet until the archive chart is done.

4.5 HTTPget Program

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

Generally HTTPget is used for simply programming an IP address to the iServer or for quickly obtaining a reading of from a device.

The iServer product must be configured from the configuration web page so that the "Server Type" value is set to "Command" (This is positioned under the heading of Terminal Server). Also the Number of Connections may need to be set to "0" to enable Port 1000 (Port 1000 is for access in a non-standard terminal mode).

To use Port 2000 access (where "2000" is the value stored in "Port"), the Number of Connections should be set to "2" for general usage. The value of 2 can later be changed to a value from 1 to 5 depending on needs for secure access or fault tolerance.

Whenever Terminal Server service (using Port 2000 by default) is required, the Number of Connections must be set to a value from 1 to 5. The Terminal Server mode is the recommended mode for the most reliable connection when operating with NEWPORT software or with other programs supporting TCPIP communications.

The Port 1000 access can be used with NEWPORT software and may be needed with some iServer products when you need to view readings from the web page while simultaneously collecting data through TCPIP communications.

Page 38

4.5.1 HTTPGET using Port 1000

You can setup and read the information from the iServer by using the HTTPget program. The following program can be used to read data from the iServer by using TCP port

1000. The command string is sent to this TCP port, then the response can be read back from the same socket.

The Httpget.exe file is used to setup and read information from the iServer. This file will be automatically installed when you install the MailNotifier software or can be downloaded from our website.

Notes on using HTTPget : The HTTPget.exe program is installed to the windows directory (usually c:\winnt or

c:\windows) when installing the Mail Notifier software.

1. Open up a command window (or have a DOS window) a) Click on start menu b) Click on "Run" c) In the dialog box that appears, type "cmd" or "command" and click on "OK"

button. d) A command window should now appear.

2. If you now type "httpget" and press the "enter" key, the program options should be displayed.

3. Next run HTTPget with the options displayed below

httpget -r -S “*SRTC\r” 192.168.1.200:1000

where:

-r –S are parameters needed for the command string

*SRTC is the command as the following:

*SRTC Read the temperature in C *SRTF Read the temperature in F *SRHb Read the pressure in mbar / hPa. *SRHi Read the pressure in inHg (Mercury). *SRHm Read the pressure in mmHg (Mercury).

4.5.2 HTTPGET and ARP to setup Device IP Address

Use the iCONNECT software, which may be downloaded from our website, to do these IP changes whenever possible.

Use ARP first to assign the mac address to a static IP address in computer arp table by this command:

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

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

ARP is the Internet layer protocol responsible for matching or obtaining the MAC (hardware) address that corresponds to a particular IP address. The ARP command allows the user to view the current contents of the ARP cache of the local computer (residing on the same network). Microsoft includes the ARP.EXE utility for viewing and modifying the ARP cache with its Windows products. The following ARP commands can be used to view cache entries:

• arp –a ➞ Use this command to view all ARP cache entries.

• arp –a plus IP address ➞ Use this command to view ARP cache entries associated with one particular interface on a network with multiple adapters.

• arp –g ➞ Same as arp –a.

• arp –N ➞ Use this command to display ARP entries for specific network interface.

• arp – s plus IP address plus Physical address ➞ Use this command to manually

add a permanent static entry to the ARP cache.

• arp –d ➞ Use this command to manually delete a static entry.

Ping the destination computer using IP address first before using the arp -a command.

The following window shows examples of arp commands and responses.

• Your computer has an IP address of 192.168.1.118

• The destination computer has an IP address of 192.168.1.96

The Mail Notifier Software can be used only with NEWPORT Electronics instruments. For complete information of how to use the Mail Notifier software, click on the Help menu

of the main window. The Mail Notifier software generates email notifications for alarm conditions. Users can

be notified automatically of alarm conditions monitored via internet connections throughout the world. By use of the email forwarding of alarm conditions, alarm conditions can be monitored on a network isolated from the internet and forwarded to connections on the Internet.

The Mail Notifier utility operates under Windows 98, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP in conjunction with existing email that supports the MAPI messaging interface. If MS Outlook has been loaded, the MAPI support should be available.

4.8.1 Installation

The Mail Notifier must be loaded on a computer running Microsoft Windows (versions specified earlier) using an email program that provides MAPI access. Network access must be available between this computer and the iServer. Network access must also be available from this computer to the appropriate email server and from the email server to the recipient’s email server.

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

Page 50

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
