1.3 Description
The iServer Internet Counter puts “dumb” data on the World Wide Web. This revolutionary
technology transmits virtually any conventional counting application up to 500 KHz over an
Ethernet network or the Internet.
This iServer can count contacts from the simplest button or switch, as well as count
pulses from most any conventional transducer such as a proximity sensor or quadrature
encoder. The iServer converts raw data to intelligent information.
The iServer can be configured as a virtual version of most any Rate/Frequency Meter,
Totalizer, or Batch Controller. It is a node on an Ethernet network with a unique IP
address and serves the data to any authorized computer on a LAN, WAN or the Internet.
Set points can be programmed to trigger an alarm and even send email automatically to a
Web-enabled cell phone.
No special software or drivers are required. A user can type the unit’s IP address (or
assigned name) on the address line of a Web Browser such as Internet Explorer. The
device then serves actual JAVA based active Web pages that present the information
numerically and graphically.
The iServer supports the common Ethernet/Internet Protocols: TCP, UDP, ARP, Telnet,
DHCP, DNS, and HTTP. The device integrates seamlessly with data acquisition and
industrial automation program. The iServer offers password protection for security.
The iServer provides two discrete input/output channels. For applications that use two
inputs, it can perform calculations with the data from channels A and B that can be
presented numerically or graphically, such as charting position on an XY graph.

2.2 DIP Switches
2.2.1 SW1 DIP Switch Usage
The iServer is shipped with all SW1 DIP switches in "OFF" position.
1)N/C - not used
2)To change to default factory settings
3)To enable/disable DHCP
4)N/C - not used
To set the iServer to factory default settings, slide SW1 DIP switch #2 to ON
position. Power the iServer on and wait about 10 seconds until the iServer fully
boots up. Set the SW1 DIP switch #2 back to OFF position (it does not matter if
the iServer is powered ON or OFF, just make sure that the DIP switch is set to
OFF, otherwise, every time the unit is power-cycled the factory settings will take
over.
To enable the DHCP, besides using SW1 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.

2.5 Network Communication Interfaces
2.5.1 10Base-T RJ-45 Pinout
The 10BASE-T Ethernet network (RJ-45) 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.

Figure 2.8 RJ45 Pinout
2.5.2 10Base-T Crossover Wiring
When connecting the iServer directly to the computer’s network port, the transmit data
pins of the computer should be wired to the receive data pins of the iServer, and vice
versa. The 10Base-T crossover cable with pin connection assignments are shown below
.
Figure 2.9 10Base-T Crossover Cable Wiring
Use straight through cable for connecting the iServer to an Ethernet hub. The
ports on the hub are already crossed.

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

3.3 DHCP
DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol enables individual computers or devices to
extract their IP configurations from a server (DHCP server). If the DHCP is enabled on
your iServer, as soon as the iServer is connected to the network, there is an exchange of
information between DHCP server and the iServer. During this process the IP address,
the Gateway address, and the Subnet Mask will be assigned to the iServer by the DHCP
server. Note that the DHCP server must be configured correctly to do such assignment.
If fixed or static IP address is desired, the DHCP must be disabled. The iServer is
shipped with DHCP disabled (factory default). The DHCP can be enabled by setting the
SW1 DIP switch # 3 to the “ON” position (refer to Figure 3.2).

Figure 3.2 SW1 DIP Switch
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 Access Control page in the iServer
Home Page. The default DNS name for an iServer is "eis" followed by the last four digits
of the MAC address of that particular iServer.
1. It is very important to communicate with the network administrator in order to
understand the DHCP and its existing configurations on the host server,
before enabling the DHCP on the iServer.
2. The iServers are shipped with a default static IP address of
192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.
3. On Novell networks or Windows 2000 Server where the DCHP is an updated
function of DNS, this feature may be beneficial since a particular name can
be assigned eliminating the need for the IP address, as described in
Section 3.4.
Page 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 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.
3.5.1 Default IP Address
The iServer is shipped with a default IP address set to 192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask
of 255.255.255.0. If you are going to use a Web browser or Telnet program to access
the iServer using its default IP address, make sure that the PC from which you’re
establishing the connection has an IP address that is in the same range as the iServer’s
IP address (192.168.1.x, where x can be any number from 1 to 254.
Your PC’s IP address cannot
be the same as the iServer’s IP address).
You also need to make sure that your PC’s Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. This is a
good way to access the iServer over the network and make any configuration changes
needed. If the factory default address is already in use on your network, use an Ethernet
crossover cable between your computer and the iServer and modify 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 device connected to
the port of the iServer to receive signals.
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. Refer to Section 4.8 for more information.

PART 4
OPERATIONS
This iServer can be used and configured in several ways, depending on user’s
preference and network setup. It can be configured using a Web browser, like Netscape
or Internet Explorer. It can also be configured using NEWPORT’s iCONNECT
Configuration Software. In addition to iServer operation, it can also be used in Telnet
simulation mode where it emulates serial communication operation over a network cable
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 done for you by your network
DHCP and DNS server. All that is left for you to do, is to use a straight network cable to
connect the iServer to a hub and power it up.
Instead of connecting the iServer directly to your network, you can configure your
PC’s network connection with an IP address (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.
Go to your computer that is connected to the same network and from the MS-DOS Prompt
window type "ping 192.168.1.200” and press Enter. If DHCP and DNS servers are used
type “ping eisxxx”, where xxxx are the last four digits of the iServer’s MAC address,
located on the device (see Figure 3.1). You should get a reply as shown in Figure 4.1.

4.1 iCONNECT Software
The iServer may also be assigned an IP Address by using the iCONNECT software.
a)Download the iCONNECT software from the website listed in this manual.
b)Install iCONNECT software on a networked PC. This software is compatible with Windows
95, NT, 2000, and XP.
c)Use iCONNECT to assign an IP address to the iServer and access its web pages for
configuration. You can also use any standard web browser to access the iServer’s web
pages. Consult with your IT department for obtaining an IP address.

4.2 Setting a New IP Address over the Network
Besides using the iCONNECT software, you may use the iServer’s default IP address to
access it and assign a new IP address to it.
The iServer is shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of
255.255.255.0. You can configure your PC’s Network connection with an IP address that
is in the same range as the iServer’s IP address (192.168.1.x) and connect to the iServer
using a crossover network cable between your PC and the iServer.
With this completed, you can go to the DOS-Prompt and ping 192.168.1.200. If you
receive responses back (Figure 4.1), you can go to a Web browser and type in
http://192.168.1.200 and it will take you to the iServer’s main web page.
Select Access Control button, you’ll be asked for the password. The default Login
password is "12345678" and the Admin 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.

4.5.1 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 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.

If you still have problems viewing the page and you are on a Proxy Server or are
behind a Firewall, please contact your MIS administrator to verify that you have
the lastest Proxy Client Software, version 2.0 or higher.

4.7.1.1 Frequency Mode:
Totalizer Gate
This mode (factory default) configures the iServer to operate as a single or dual input
frequency counter, range 1 to 100 KHz, or dual rate meter that counts per unit time.
The iServer displays the units of measurement of 2 input signal sources as CH A and CH
B in Blue or Red respectively. The chart allows user-definable engineering units.
Both Line or Bar chart Option are available.
Users can monitor the values in 6 different time scales available from 1 min. to 1 year
history of experiment time duration.
Use scale to convert input frequency unit to units other than Hertz (Hz) as definable by
users and suitable for any application requirement.
For Frequency Mode ID, observe Message Item Window and notice items following:
a= Frequency
c=CH A input pulse/frequency reading value
d=CH B input pulse/frequency reading value
Make certain that Debounce Time must be zero to operate in this
Frequency mode.
Set jumper for selecting low-level input if the reading is not displayed.
Refer to Specifications Section 5 for SW3 jumper configurations.

4.7.1.2 Totalizer Mode
This mode is operated commonly as event counter or recorder as either with single A or
B channel or If there are dual inputs, both Input values will be totalized or accumulated
and displayed graphically and digitally until Reset Timer Button restart measurement of
both Channels at zero or the Offset values.
However Users must readjust Max. or Min. Range Values between measurement values
to keep Line Chart fully displaying as once reset executed. Device now is UP & DOWN
32-bit Counter ranging between (–2147483647 and +2147483647). Users must access
Configuration Page to setup device for this mode.
For Totalizer Mode ID, observe Message Item Window and notice items following:

4.7.1.3 Batch Mode
This mode is for either single or dual input counting and monitoring visually number of
definable batches that is required by users’ application. To setup Batch value (unit count)
and Batch mode, users must access Configuration Page for detail of setting descriptive
parameters. However users should notice the following important items on Chart:
SP1 must be also understood as actual A Batch (unit count) value.
SP2 must be also understood as actual B Batch (unit count) value.
Batch A must be understood as Number of Batches counted via CH A.
Batch B must be understood as Number of Batches counted via CH B.
For Example: Machine A requires oil drop lubrication every 3199 PCB’s produced then
there must be done 89 times for 1 hour and Machine B requires a soft-reset every 12000
PCB’s produced then there must be done 28 times for 1 hour as Figure 4.11 illustrates. If
Time Scale Option of 1 Minute (1 Sec/Div.) is selected, Users can monitor process,
tracking time and be prepared for the required tasks in precise timely manner.
With the Example:
h=Machine A maintenance requirement: A Batch (unit count) value= 3199 PCB’s
i=Machine B system requirement: B Batch (unit count) value= 12000 PCB’s
j= Number of Batches (or lubrication) counted via CH A input= 89 times
k= Number of Batches (or soft-reset) counted via CH B input= 28 times
Make certain that Debounce Time must be zero when operating with
frequency signals.

Reading Configuration: Users may have no measurement reading on either CH A or CH
B digital display section, or no saved SetPoint setting displayed if these following
Reading Configuration Items as Gate Time, Debounce Time, Number of Digit and
Decimal Point are not selected correctly and properly:
4.7.4.1.5 A Gate Time (ms):
Length of time in which the Channel A of device accepts input pulses for a single rate
calculation. The longer Gate time, the better the resolution. (it is not used for the rate
calculation; a similar, but much more accurate method called Measurement Time is
used). Its default value is 1000 ms and its max. value is 65535.
4.7.4.1.6 B Gate Time (ms):
Length of time in which the Channel B of device accepts input pulses for a single rate
calculation. The longer Gate time, the better the resolution. Its default value is 1000 ms
and its max. value is 65535.
4.7.4.1.7 A Debounce Time (ms):
Length of time in which functions as the filter in case of the Channel A input is connected
with a contact closures signal to eliminate the de-bounce effect for better response of
readings.
4.7.4.1.8 B Debounce Time (ms):
Length of time in which functions as the filter in case of the Channel B input is connected
with a contact closures signal to eliminate the de-bounce effect for better response of
readings. Therefore Debounce Time must be zero (0) also as default if Frequency
Measurement or Mode is selected.
Make certain that Debounce Time must be zero when operating with
frequency signals.

For example: user may want to connect with remote display, which always has
hardware limitation in term of number of display digits. This feature must be use in
combination of Decimal Point setting because it only specifies limit the number of digits
before decimal point therefore if the measurement readings are exceeding the specified
setup Number of Digit, Channel A or B reading value will display “Overload”.
With the pull-down submenu, there are 10 available options from 0 to 9 to select for
users’ measurement value displayed.
4.7.4.1.11 Decimal Point:

Figure 4.19 Terminal / Remote (Tunneling) Server Setup
4.7.5.1 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.
4.7.5.2 Server Type:
Continuous mode sends all current measurement input values and update the graphic
chart to Ethernet, continuously, every one second. It is mainly used to send readings to a
remote display.
Command mode needs a command to query the iServer to get the response back to the
querying device. However all details of measurement are still updating including the
chart.
4.7.5.3 Number of Connections:
The range is from 0 to 5.
If 0 is selected, the Terminal Server feature is disabled.
1-5 (TCP mode) can allow the number of querying device to receive the response from
the iServer
If 1 is selected, only one network connection can be made to the device ’s Ethernet port.
Any number more than 1 would allow the network hosts to monitor (read only) the traffic
on the device ’s Ethernet port simultaneously, but only one network host would be
allowed to read and write (default is 5).
41
Page 48
4.7.5.4 Port:
Port 2000 is the default TCP port for the iServer’s port to which the device is connected.
Ports 1000 (used for HTTPget, refer to Section 4.9) , 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 device (irrelevant to RS-232 or RS-485
interface) and can be accessed from anywhere on the network.
A computer program, such as NEWPORT’s Mail Notifier, OPC Server, iLOG
or httpget can send TCP requests and obtain readings using the Terminal
Server feature.
4.7.5.5 Remote Access:**
Remote Access can be enabled and disabled.
*TCP/UDP: when UDP mode is selected, Remote Access should be disabled
and Remote IP and Port are the UDP remote listening IP and Port. If the
Remote IP is set to 255.255.255.255, the UDP packet becomes a
broadcasting packet which will allow any device listening to the Remote port
to receive the packet.
**If Remote Access is enabled, Terminal Server is automatically disabled.
4.7.5.6 Remote Port: (default 2000) the remote port number for the connection. Ports
1000 (used for HTTPget, refer to Section 4.9), 2002, 2003, and 2004 are reserved for
internal use.
4.7.5.7 Remote IP Address: iServer can establish a connection to a remote device (e.g.
an iLD Remote Display with iServer) with this IP.

4.9 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 # of
connections/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.
4.9.1 HTTPGET using Port 1000
You can setup and read the information from the iServer by using the HTTPGET
program. The following program can be used to read data from the embedded server
firmware by using TCP port 1000. The command string is sent to this TCP port, then the
response can be read back from the same socket.
The Httpget.exe file is used to setup and read information from the iServer. This file will
be automatically installed when you install the MailNotifier software available on our
website and CD.
Notes on using Httpget :
The Httpget.exe program is installed to the windows directory (usually c:\winnt or
c:\windows) when installing the Mail Notifier software.
1. Open up a command window (or have a DOS window)
a) Click on start menu
b) Click on "Run"
c) In the dialog box that appears, type "cmd" or "command" and click on "OK" button.
d) A command window should now appear.
2. If you now type "httpget" and press the "enter" key, the program options should be
displayed.
3. Next run httpget with the options displayed below
httpget -r -S “*SRA” 192.168.1.96:1000
then:
httpget -r -S “*SRB” 192.168.1.96:1000
and:
httpget -r -S “*SRP” 192.168.1.96:1000

4.9.1 HTTPGET using Port 1000 (continued)
where:
-r –Sare parameters needed for the command string
*SRAis the read command (of Channel A) in the first line.
*SRBis the read command (of Channel B) in the second line.
*SRPis the read command (of data string including configuration and all reading
values) in the third line.
192.168.1.96 is an IP address
1000is a socket port number
Response: located right after each command line executed
Use the iCONNECT software, which may be downloaded from our website, to do
these IP changes whenever possible.
Use ARP first to assign the mac address to a static IP address in computer arp table by
this command:
apr –s 192.168.1.200 00-03-34-00-00-06-b6
Then use the following command to assign new IP to the device:
Httpget –r –S "00000000" 192.168.1.200:1
where:
“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. (TX and RX led is on for 2 second).
“192.168.1.200” is an example of an IP address. It is replaced with IP address suitable
for your network
“00-03-34-00-00-06-b6” is replaced with your iServer product MAC address.
4.10 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 fi Use this command to view all ARP cache entries.
• arp –a plus IP address fi Use this command to view ARP cache entries associated
with one particular interface on a network with multiple adapters.
• arp –g fi Same as arp –a.
• arp –N fi Use this command to display ARP entries for specific network interface.
• arp – s
plus IP address plus Physical address fi Use this command to manually add
a permanent static entry to the ARP cache.
• arp –d
fi Use this command to manually delete a static entry.
Ping the destination computer using IP address first before using the arp -a
command.
The following window shows examples of arp commands and responses.
• Your computer has an IP address of 192.168.1.118
• The destination computer has an IP address of 192.168.1.96

4.11 Remote Access (Tunneling)
To "tunnel", in this context, is to transmit data between two points through a private conduit
on a shared or public network. The network could be an Ethernet LAN, a WAN, or the
Internet. The iServer allows for a connection between a serial device and a PC, or between
two serial devices, using an existing network rather than dedicated wiring.
The connected serial devices to iServer’s can communicate with each other back and forth
over the networks. This characteristic is called Tunneling and is illustrated in Figure 4.25.

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.
The DHCP will be enabled in the iServer if its IP address is set to 0.0.0.0. The
DHCP can also be enabled by setting the dip switch number 3 to ON position.

4.12 Access Control Descriptions and Functions (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’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 iServer’s default subnet
mask is 255.255.255.0. Consult with your IT department for obtaining a subnet mask.
Time and Date: allow users to setup the local time of specific applications, and these
values will reset to default, as device’s power is recycled.

4.14 Mail Notifier Software
The Mail Notifier Software can be used only with NEWPORT Electronics instruments.
For complete information of how to use the Mail Notifier software, click on the Help menu
of the main window.
The Mail Notifier software generates email notifications for alarm conditions. Users can
be notified automatically of alarm conditions monitored via internet connections
throughout the world. By use of the email forwarding of alarm conditions, alarm
conditions can be monitored on a network isolated from the internet and forwarded to
connections on the Internet.
The Mail Notifier utility operates under Windows 98, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP in conjunction
with existing email that supports the MAPI messaging interface. If MS Outlook has been
loaded, the MAPI support should be available.
4.14.1 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.

This will be the list of email addresses to which alarm notifications will be sent.
Email Setup
The Mail Notifier is compatible with original MS OutlookTMand OutlookTM2002 to 2005.
The Mail Notifier will attempt to automatically identify whether the Outlook is a newer
version. A red bar appears under the Mail Notifier splash window to confirm that the
detection of the 2002 or newer version is acceptable. With the newer versions, no
additional steps should be taken to enable the connection between the Mail Notifier and
the Email server.
MS Outlook tends to require that the users respond to a “login box” in order for
email access to be activated for Mail Notifier. Some other email clients may
allow for Mail Notifier to gain access without user login, as may be desired for a
system recovering from a power outage. See the Help files for more
information
4.14.2.1 Sending email Messages to a Cell Phone
In the Send To field, you can use the following format to have the Mail Notifier send an
email message to your cell phone. Since most cell phones are capable of receiving text
messages you just need to find the correct email format for your cell phone provider.

Appendix AGLOSSARY
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.
Connections 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 connections.
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 BIP 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

Appendix CIP 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.

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.
