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 configuration software
(iConnect) and datalogging software (iLog) 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
Monitor Temperature over the Internet -- The iSD provides Web-based temperature
monitoring in critical equipment and locations such as computer server rooms, clean
rooms, laboratories, museums, warehouses, or any remote facility.
View and record temperature on two independent thermocouple channels, over an
Ethernet network or the Internet with no special software—just a Web browser.
Email Alarms -- The device can trigger an alarm if temperature goes above or below a
set point that you determine. Your alarm can be sent by email to a single user or to a
group distribution list, including text messages to cell phones and PDA’s.
Physical Threats -- The iSD-TC includes screw terminals for two contact closures that
work with common alarm sensors. You can instruct the iSD monitor to send an alarm if a
door is opened, a window is broken, or a fire sprinkler goes off.
Power Failure -- The iSD monitor can trigger an alarm if the AC power fails. The iSD-TC
will continue to collect data for two days powered by a standard 9 Volt alkaline battery
(included). A failure on the Ethernet network will not interrupt data recording.
Local Alarms -- The iSD monitor includes two 1.5 Amp output relays that are controlled
by the alarm conditions you select. The relays can trigger flashing lights and a siren for
example to alert personnel near the scene.
With the easy Web-based setup page, the two relays can be programmed for two
temperature inputs, and high or low set points, as well as alarm conditions triggered by
contact closures. The relays can also be programmed to turn off when conditions return
to normal, or programmed to remain latched and require a manual reset.

Page 9
1.3 Description (continued)
View Charts and Graphs on the Web -- The iSD serves Active Web Pages to display
real time readings, display charts of temperature, or log data in standard data formats for
use in a spreadsheet or data acquisition program such as Excel or Visual Basic.
The virtual chart viewed on the web page is a JAVA™ Applet that records a chart over
the LAN or Internet in real time. With the iSD, there is no need to invest time and money
learning a proprietary software program to log or chart the data.
Chart scales are fully adjustable on the fly. For example, the chart can display one
minute, one hour, one day, one week, one month or one year. Temperature can be
charted across the full span or within any narrow range. The iSD can display and chart
absolute measurements in two locations and a differential measurement between the two
locations.
The iSD can take thermocouple types J, K, T, E, R, S, B, C, N, and L measuring
temperatures up to 1,820°C (3,308°F). The iSD includes a pair of type K thermocouples.
Link to Web CAM or IP Camera -- The Web page includes a link to a “Web Cam” or “IP
camera” (not included). If you get a message about an alarm condition, you can quickly
click on the link to view the actual scene over the Internet.
SD Flash Memory Card -- The iServer comes complete with a removable 2 GB SD
Flash Memory card that can store up to seven years of readings taken at ten second
intervals. The data is recorded on widely available SD (Secure Digital) flash cards. The
format is a simple text file that is easily imported to spreadsheets and other programs. It
can be read on a PC or MAC with a USB card reader. You can also download the data
remotely over an Ethernet network or the Internet.
Installation and operation of the iServer requires no special training, tools, or software.
The device connects to any Ethernet network with standard cable and is powered by a
universal 100 to 240 Vac adapter which is supplied with the product.
Award-Winning Technology -- The iSD is simple to install and use, and features the
award-winning iServer technology that requires no special software except a Web
Browser. The iSD 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 iSD-TC serves a
Web Page with the current readings.
Example:
A standard web browser can be used to monitor and chart temperature. The browser can
also be used to configure the device’s IP address, passwords for access and all
configuration parameters. An iLD Big Display can display the temperature values
received from an iServer over the Ethernet or the Internet.
The following example (see Figure 1.1) illustrates how you can hookup an iServer and
iLD to your network:

2.5 Network Communication Interfaces
2.5.1 10/100 BASE-T RJ-45 Pinout
The 10/100BASE-T Ethernet network
system is used in the iServer for
network connectivity. The 10 Mbps or
100 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.
Pin Name Description
1 +Tx + Transmit Data
2 -Tx - Transmit Data
3 +RX + Receive Data
4 N/C Not Connected
5 N/C Not Connected
6 -Rx - Receive Data
7 N/C Not Connected
8 N/C Not Connected
Figure 2.6 RJ45 Pinout
For CE compliance at 100 Mbps: use shielded cable, opposite end of cable must
be grounded.
2.5.2 Connecting iServer to PC/Hub/Switch/Router
The iServer’s Ethernet interface can automatically detect the Rx and Tx lines on a
twisted pair Ethernet cable (MDI/MDIX Auto Cross). Therefore, to connect an iServer to a
PC/Hub/Switch/Router, either a straight-through or a cross-over cable can be used.
On certain devices (like iServer), it is possible for the hardware to automatically
correct errors in cable selection, making the distinction between a “straightthrough” cable and a “cross-over” cable unimportant. This capability is known as
“Auto MDI/MDIX”.

2.6 Relay and I/O Wiring Connections
To access the Relay and I/O Connectors 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
case’s bottom screw. Refer to Figure 3.1 for location.

3.1 Network Protocols
The iServer can be connected to an Ethernet network communicating through standard
IP protocols including TCP, UDP, SNMP, SMTP, ARP, HTTP (WEB access), DNS, DHCP,
ICMP, SNTP, and Telnet.
3.2 Ethernet (MAC) Address
MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique hardware number for Ethernet devices
like computers, network switches, print servers, etc. When you're connected to an
Ethernet LAN using a computer you can see a table of IP addresses called “ARP table”
stored on that computer. The ARP table relates IP addresses of devices on a network to
their corresponding MAC addresses. The MAC address can be found on a label
attached to your Ethernet device and it 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 of 192.168.1.200 and there
will be room to put your IP address. See Figure 3.1
Figure 3.1 Labeling
101011
Page 17
3.3 DHCP
DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, enables computers and network devices to
receive their IP configurations from a DHCP server.
If DHCP is enabled on your iServer, as soon as the iServer that is connected to the
network is powered on, there will be an exchange of information between the iServer and
the DHCP server. As a result, the DHCP server will assign an IP address, a Gateway
address, a Subnet Mask, and a DNS address to the iServer. Note that the DHCP server
must be correctly configured to make such assignments.
If fixed or static IP address is desired, the DHCP function must be disabled.
The iServer is shipped with DHCP disabled (factory default).
The DHCP can be enabled by accessing the iServer’s web server and selecting Network
menu (refer to Section 4.4.2) or by pressing and holding the two front buttons °C/°F and
TIME/IP during power-on (refer to Section 2.3).
It’s very important to communicate with the network administrator in order to
understand DHCP and its existing configurations on the host server before
enabling DHCP on the iServer.
The iServer is shipped with a default static IP address of 192.168.1.200 and
Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.
3.4 DNS
DNS, Domain Name System, enables computers and devices to be recognized over a
network based on a specific name instead of IP addresses.
For example, instead of having to use http://192.168.1.200 (IP address), you would use
http://isdb870 or any name up to sixteen alphanumeric characters defined as a Host
Name in the iServer’s web server.
The default Host Name for an iServer is "isd" followed by the last four digits of the MAC
address of that iServer unit.
On Windows servers where DHCP and DNS are separate functions it is very
important to configure the DHCP server to communicate with 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
DHCP and DNS servers are linked together.
If DNS server address is setup, all Host Names reported during weblink configuration
(i.e. SMTP server IP, SNTP server IP, SNMP trap server IP, etc.) will be translated into IP
addresses.
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.
All network devices like computers that use TCP/IP protocol to communicate with each
other should have a unique 32-bit address called IP address. The IP address 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 different
host IDs. For more details about the IP address see Appendix B.
Page 18
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 a TCP/IP interface between an application software on
a computer and a device on the network or between two devices on the network.
There are two default TCP port (socket) numbers assigned to the iServer:
1) Port 2000: Once a TCP connection is made to the iServer using port 2000 or any
port number that is configured on the iServer for Local Port (see Network menu,
Section 4.4.2), the iServer can then be polled for variables like temperature,
humidity, etc. using commands. For the list of commands see Section 4.9.1.
2) Port 2002: This port is the iServer’s network console port for reading or changing
the settings within the iServer. For the list of settings refer to Section 4.8.1. For both
of the above cases, for example, a Telnet application can be used.
Depending on user’s preference and network setup, the iServer can be configured in
several ways:
Using the latest versions of Web browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, or
Safari (iPhone) the iServer’s Web server can be accessed, see Section 4.2.
It can also be configured using a TCP connection to port 2002 using a command line
interface, see Section 4.8.1.
The iCONNECT Configuration Software can also be used to find and configure the
iServer over the Ethernet, see Section 4.1.2.
Before you configure the iServer, you will need to assign an IP address to the
unit. Refer to Section 4.1.1, 4.1.2 or 4.1.3.
4.1 IP Address Assignment
4.1.1 DHCP (Method 1)
The DHCP server will assign an IP address, see Section 3.3.
4.1.2 ARP HTTPget Commands (Method 2)
You can download the HTTPget program from our web site to use it for this section.
1. From the Command line (DOS prompt) where you keep the HTTPget.exe file, type the
following:
arp -s 128.100.101.76 00-03-34-00-b8-70 press the <Enter> key
128.100.101.76, for example, is the IP address that you want to assign to your iServer
and 00-03-34-00-b8-70 is the MAC address of your iServer labeled on the bottom of the
unit.
2. From the same prompt, type the following HTTPget command:
httpget -r -S “00000000” 128.100.101.76:1 press the <Enter> key
00000000 is the default ADMINISTRATOR password in your iServer unit and
128.100.101.76:1 is the IP address that your iServer will accept on TCP port 1. At this
point, you have successfully assigned 128.100.101.76 IP address to your iServer.
Continued on the following page.

4.1.2 ARP HTTPget Commands (Method 2) (continued)
C:\>arp -s 128.100.101.76 00-03-34-00-b8-70
C:\>httpget -r -S “00000000” 128.100.101.76:1
New IP is assigned. The unit will reset in 10 seconds.
C:\>
The above IP address of 128.100.101.76 is an example to show how these
commands work. To get a valid IP address on your network you need to consult
with your IT department.
Figure 4.1 shows the screen shot of an actual DOS window with the above commands
executed.
Figure 4.1 ARP and HTTPget Commands on a DOS Window
4.1.3 Direct Connection (Method 3)
The iServer is shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of
255.255.255.0.
To start, connect your iServer directly to your PC using a straight or cross-over Ethernet
cable and power it on.
Make sure that the Network LINK/ACT LED on the iServer and your Ethernet switch is
solid ON. Refer to Figure 4.2.
If you are going to use a Web browser or Telnet program to access the iServer using its
default IP address of 192.168.1.200, you need to 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.
For example, you can assign your PC an IP address of 192.168.1.x, where x is 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.
Changing your PC’s IP address is temporary and it’s only for the purpose of accessing
the iServer for initial configurations like assigning a new IP address, subnet mask, etc.
Once the iServer is configured you can put your PC back to its original IP settings.
If 192.168.1.200 is already in use on your network, connect the iServer directly to your
computer using a CAT5 Ethernet cable (either straight or cross-over cable will be detected
by the iServer) and proceed as described below.

IP Configuration Ethernet Port
00:03:34:00:b8:70
This menu provides network configurations including IP parameters and Ethernet
interface options. Fields are described below.
4.4.2.1 IP Configuration
DHCP – If the box is checked the iServer will dynamically request an IP address, a
subnet mask, a gateway address, and a DNS address from the DHCP server. By default
the DHCP option is disabled. For more information about DHCP, see Section 3.3.
MAC Address – This Indicates the hardware address of the iServer and it is nonconfigurable. For more information about MAC Address, see Section 3.2.
IP Address – This indicates the IP address of the iServer. The iServer’s default IP
address is 192.168.1.200. When DHCP is enabled this field will be dimmed. Consult with
your IT department for obtaining an IP 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. When DHCP is enabled
this field will be dimmed. The iServer’s default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. Consult
with your IT department for obtaining a subnet mask.
DHCP can be enabled by pressing and holding the two front buttons ºC/ºF and
TIME/IP during power-on (refer to Section 2.3).
Figure 4.13 Network: IP Configuration
21
Page 28
4.4.2.1 IP Configuration (continued)
Gateway Address – This points to the router that forwards traffic to a destination
address outside of the subnet on which the iServer resides. This is the IP address of the
router which functions as a gateway. When DHCP is enabled this field will be dimmed.
The iServer’s default Gateway address is 0.0.0.0. Consult with your IT department for
obtaining a gateway address.
DNS Address – In order to use the hostname to access the iServer, the DNS server on
your network must be configured, refer to Section 3.4. iServer plays the role of a DNS
client, in the sense that the iServer will actively query the DNS server for the IP address
associated with a particular domain name. When DHCP is enabled this field will be
dimmed. The iServer’s default DNS address is 0.0.0.0. Consult with your IT department
for obtaining a DNS address.
Host Name – If DHCP is enabled, the iServer will send this name to the DHCP server.
This name is used so that the iServer can be accessed based on a specific name
instead of an IP address. For example, instead of using http://192.168.1.200 (IP
address), you would use http://isdb870 or any name up to sixteen (16) alphanumeric
characters. The default Host Name for an iServer is "isd" followed by the last four digits
of the MAC address of that particular iServer.
On Windows servers where DHCP and DNS are separate functions it’s very
important to configure the DHCP server to communicate with 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
DHCP and DNS servers are linked together.
Protocol – It’s the network protocol the iServer communicates with the Ethernet
Network. Options are TCP and UDP. The default is TCP.
Local Port – The default port is 2000. Refer to Section 3.6.
Web Server Port – The default port is 80. This is the primary port number for the HTTP
protocol used for communication between internet browsers and web sites/web servers.
Web servers open this port then listen for incoming connections from web browsers.
Similarly, when a web browser is given an IP address (like the iServer’s IP address), it
assumes that the iServer’s web server is listening for connections on port 80. If this port
is changed to anything but 80 then on the browser the new port number must be
indicated with a colon (:) after the IP address. For example, if the Web Server Port is
changed to 500, you will then need to type http://192.168.1.200:500 on the browser to
access the iServer’s web server.
One of the applications where the Web Server Port number may need to change
is when users want to access the iServer’s web server from outside the local
area network (i.e. Internet). By setting up “Port Forwarding” inside a router that
is the gateway to that local area network this task can be accomplished. “Port
Forwarding” technique uses the Web Server Port number to forward the Internet
connection to the iServer on the LAN.
Web Link Title – This is a text field that appears on the button on the iServer’s Web Link
Page, refer to Section 4.7. This can describe the Web Link Address assigned below.
Web Link Address – This provides a link to any TCP/IP node on the network or any
Web link on the Internet. Examples would be www.123abc.com or if you have a device
with an embedded Web server (just like the iServer) once you enter its IP address in this
field and click on the Web Link button on the iServer’s Welcome page you'll be able to
access your device using the same browser interface.

Auto-Negotiation – It is the link, in terms of speed and duplex, between the iServer and
another Ethernet device like an Ethernet switch.
If Auto-Negotiation box is checked, the iServer will auto-negotiate the speed and duplex
with the attached Ethernet device. If any of the other options are selected, the speed and
duplex will be fixed.
It’s important to have the same Ethernet port configuration on the iServer and the
attached Ethernet device. If iServer cannot auto-negotiate with the attached Ethernet
node it will default to 10 Mbps and Half-Duplex. Once Auto-Negotiation is checked, other
fields under this category will be dimmed. By default the Auto-Negotiation is checked.

Server Type – Options are Command and Continuous.
If Command is selected the iServer will respond to commands sent from a network host
(for the list of commands refer to Section 4.9.1).
If Continuous is selected the iServer will send temperature 1, temperature 2, differential
values, contact closure and alarm relay status once every time amount selected in the
Interval box.
The Command and Continuous modes operate when a network host opens a TCP
connection to the iServer’s IP address with port 2000.
In UDP Command mode, iServer will respond back with a UDP packet (to the _ address and
port) if a host application sends a UDP command to iServer’s IP address with port 2000.
In UDP Continuous mode, iServer starts sending continuous data if a host application
sends a trigger or UDP packet to iServer’s IP address with port 2000.
Interval – This is the time interval (in seconds) between each data transmission when
the iServer is in Continuous mode. The default value is set to 5 seconds and the
minimum is 2 seconds.
Time Stamp – If checked, the iServer will stamp the data with date and time before
sending it out to a network host. This will apply to Command and Continuous modes.
Default is unchecked.
Disconnect After Data Sent – If checked, once the iServer responds back with data, the
iServer will close the TCP connection that had been made from the network host.
This feature should be used if data acquisition software expects data to be ended by
closing TCP connection from the client.

End Character – The iServer can attach a character (in Hex) to the end of temperature
data packet. This will apply to either Continuous or Command mode. If 00 is entered
there will be no character attached. The default is 0D (Hex representation of <CR>).
Data Format – This indicates the format of the temperature reading being displayed on a
network host when Continuous transmission is used (see Server Type Section 4.4.3.2).
TC Type – This provides a list of thermocouple types to select from.
The types are J, K, T, E, R, S, B, C, N, and DINJ.
If Disabled is selected the display on the iServer and the Reading page will display
Disabled.
The default is K Type. For the list of Thermocouple types and their range and accuracy
see Section 5.
Cold Junction – Click on the link and follow instructions to perform cold junction
compensation for the selected thermocouple channel.
Cold junction compensation will allow you to adjust (calibrate) the thermocouple reading
in reference to 0°C environment.
A correct TC Type must be selected before doing cold junction compensation.
Adjust by – If it’s determined that the reading is slightly off this field can be used to
adjust the reading. The options are Offset and Scale & Offset.
Using the Offset method you can manually assign a numerical value to adjust the
reading. For example if the actual reading is 55 where it should be 54 you can enter -1 in
the Offset field.
The Scale & Offset method uses two points to adjust the reading within the entire
temperature range. For example, if at the lower point the actual reading is 10 where it
should be 12 and at the higher point the actual reading is 200 where it should 195, here
is how the numbers are entered.
The adjusting numbers can be positive or negative with one decimal point.
The adjusting values must be assigned after the Unit of temperature (C or F) is
selected. If the unit of temperature is changed, you must readjust the values for
a correct result.

This page provides the iServer’s email, SNMP and alarm settings. SNMP (Simple
Network Management Protocol) is the protocol used by network management systems to
communicate with network devices that respond to SNMP connections for the purpose of
problem detections and corrections.
If SNMP and/or SMTP features are desired, please make sure iServer’s network setting
as well as SNMP trap server and SMTP mail server are setup properly. Failure to do so
may cause iServer to be unresponsive while waiting for these servers to reply back.
Fields are described below.
4.4.4.1 Setup
Simple Network Management Protocol
SNMP Response Enabled – If this option is checked the iServer will respond to network
nodes broadcasting SNMP requests. The default is unchecked.
Make sure your network is setup properly (gateway, etc) before using SNMP feature
SNMP Community – Every SNMP communication takes place using a community
string. The default is Public.
Contact – This text field specifies the contact person for this node, together with information
on how to contact this person. This field takes up to 16 alphanumeric characters.
Location – This text field specifies the location of the iServer. For example it can be
“control station”, which is the place where the iServer is located. This field takes up to 16
alphanumeric characters.
SNMP Trap Server – This field contains the IP address of the SNMP trap server located
somewhere on the network. The trap server listens for SNMP traps coming from the
iServer when there is an alarm condition (refer to Alarms Section 4.4.4.2 under the
Management page).
Figure 4.20 Management Menu: Setup
31
Page 38
4.4.4.1 Setup (continued)
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
SMTP Server – This field specifies the IP Address of the SMTP server.
1) You must have an email server (SMTP server) on your network in order to
receive emails generated by the iServer.
2) iServer does not support SMTP server authentication.
SMTP Server Port – This specifies the TCP port used by the SMTP Server. The default is 25.
From – This field specifies the name of the person who sends the email. It can also be
an email address.
To – This field specifies the email address of the recipient. This field can take up to 200
alphanumeric characters; limited to 4 addresses of 50 characters each. Each address
should be separated by a comma, without spaces. Ex: aaa@bbb.com,ccc@ddd.com
You can create a “distribution group address” if you need to have more email
addresses.
Subject – This field specifies the subject of the email. Emails for all the alarms will have
this common subject line. Example of a subject can be “Alarm from iServer”.
Reminder Interval – This field sets a reminder interval for email and/or trap to be sent
again. The allowed minimum value is 1 minute. If it’s set to 0 the iServer will not send a
reminder email. The default is 60 minutes.
Power Reset alarm is only sent once, regardless of reminder interval.
Transmission Delay – Once the iServer alarm condition is met, this is the amount of
time the alarm condition is met before iServer sends any email or trap. If it’s set to 0,
email and/or trap will be sent immediately. The default is 1 minute.
4.4.4.1.1 Sending Text Messages to a Cell Phone
In the SMTP To field, you can use the following format to have the iServer send a text
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.
T-Mobile phone_number@tmomail.net
Virgin Mobile phone_number@vmobl.com
AT&T phone_number@txt.att.net
Sprint phone_number@messaging.sprintpcs.com
Verizon phone_number@vtext.com
Nextel phone_number@messaging.nextel.com
“phone_number” is your 10 digit cell phone number.

4.4.6.1 Start Recording (continued)
Category – The options are Continuous and Scheduled.
In Continuous recording Start Date and Start Time fields are required. If there is not an
End Date and End Time, the recording will continue non-stop.
In Scheduled recording, any of the days can be selected and the recording will take
place only on those days. Here are some important notes about the Scheduled
recording:
• The Start Date, Start Time, and Stop Time must be defined. The Stop Date does not
apply to Scheduled recording. This means that the Scheduled recording will never
stop until the user decides to stop it.
• If the Start Date is one of the selected days recording will start on that day.
• If the Start Date is not one of the selected days recording will start on the next 1st
selected day.
• The Start Time and the Stop Time apply to every single day that is selected.
• The Start Time is the time that recording will start on those selected days.
• The Stop Time is the time that recording will stop on those selected days.
• The Start Time must be earlier (at least 20 seconds) than the stop time.
• Let’s say today we’re configuring the unit for Scheduled recording. If the Start Time
is earlier than the Current Time (real time clock) and today is one of the selected
days, the recording will start immediately.
• Scheduled recording is suitable for users who want to start and stop recording at
certain times on certain days. Users who want to have continuous recording three
days a week, for instance, this feature can also be used. Just make sure to select
start and stop times that would link the three days together.
For example, we need to have 3 days (72 hrs) a week continuous recording
(Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday) with recording Interval of 1 minute. The Start
Time should be 00:00:00 and the Stop Time should be 23:59:00. This will connect
all 3 days together and it will run on weekly bases.
Start Date – This is the date on which the data recording must start.
Start Time – This is the time that the recording will start. It’s based on a 24-hour format.
The Start Time must be at least twenty seconds after the Current Time (real time).
Stop Date – This is the date on which the data recording will stop. Stop Date does not
apply to Scheduled recording.
Stop Time – This is the time that the recording will stop. It’s based on a 24-hour format.
A failure on the Ethernet network will not interrupt data recording.

Figure 4.28 System: Defaults
4.4.7.3 Upgrade
Upgrade – This option loads a new firmware into the iServer over the network. The
firmware is a binary file with .bin extension. This file must be kept on the same PC from
which the iServer is accessed.
Once the firmware upload is completed the iServer will power reset itself. This typically
takes about 30 seconds.
1. Connect the iServer directly to the PC using a straight or crossed Ethernet cable. This
will also help to have a faster firmware upload.
2. From the “Network” menu, change the Web Server Port, for example, to 500 (default
is 80), save the change, and reset the power on your iServer. The next time you will
access the iServer’s Web server, you must type http://192.168.1.200:500 where
192.168.1.200 is the IP address of the iServer and 500 is the new Web server port
(HTTP port).
Either one of the above options will make you the only user on that iServer.
Figure 4.29 System: Upgrade
When doing firmware upgrade on the iServer, there should be NO other ongoing or new Web server (HTTP) connections made to the device; otherwise,
the iServer will not upgrade the firmware. You can do either of the following to
prevent this from happening:

After you have successfully upgraded your device, you can verify the firmware
version number on the “Overview” page (see Section 4.4.1).
It’s recommended to set the iServer to default settings after the firmware is upgraded.
See above Section 4.4.7.2 on how to set the iServer to default settings.
Applying default settings will change the iServer’s settings to factory defaults.
If those settings are important to you and you do not want to reconfigure the iServer, you
will need to do the following steps.
From the “System” menu:
1) “Download” the iServer’s configuration settings, Section 4.4.7.4.
2) “Upgrade” the iServer with the new firmware, Section 4.4.7.3.
3) Set the iServer to “Default” settings. The iServer’s IP address is now
192.168.1.200.
4) “Upload” the same configuration you obtained from step 1 onto the iServer,
Section 4.4.7.5.

With a telnet program, you can connect to the iServer using its IP address and TCP Port
2000. In Continuous mode (refer to Configuration:Sensors page Section 4.4.3.2), the
telnet session will receive continuous data (temperature 1, temperature 2, and differential)
from the iServer. In Command mode, a command can be sent to query the iServer.
Refer to Section 4.9.1 for list of commands. (temperature 1, temperature 2, and
differential)
4.8.1 Telnet Connection
Telnet stands for Telecommunications Network, it is a protocol that provides a way for
users to connect to a node with a valid IP address anywhere on an Ethernet network or
the Internet . You can open a Telnet session using a terminal emulation programs like
Tera Term (downloadable from the internet), which is a free software for Windows.
You can initiate a telnet connection by typing the IP address of the iServer, and Port
2002 for logging into the iServer’s telnet consol port (see Figure 4.37). By telneting to
Port 2000, you will be able to access temperature 1, temperature 2, and differential,
readings.
The default password for Telnet Login is 00000000 and can be changed if
desired.
Once the connection is established you will be prompted for an Administrator Password
(default is 00000000). Telnet console port (2002) allows users to configure some
parameters within the iServer. Figure 4.39 shows the parameters that can be changed.
After connecting to the iServer, you can use the following commands to read, modify, and
get help.
p displays the current settings (Figure 4.38)
? displays all the available options as well as an example on how to enter a
s set a new configuration (see the example in Figure 4.39), sending the

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", refer to Section 4.4.3.2.

4.9.1 HTTPget using Port 2000
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
2000. The command string is sent to this TCP port, then the response can be read back
from the same socket.
The HTTPget.exe file is used to setup and read information from the iServer. This file can
be downloaded from the website listed on the cover of this manual (software section).

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.
SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is an Internet standard for electronic mail (email) transfer
across the Internet. SMTP clients usually use SMTP to send email messages by specifying the
SMTP server. The email server uses SMTP to both send and receive email messages.
SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol is a network monitoring protocol to monitor
devices connected to an Ethernet Network.
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.

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.

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

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.

If your computer does not have Java installed, please download from
http://java.sun.com. You can change the Java setting by clicking its icon in Control Panel.
To load the applet, you have to enable the web browser and disable cache.
G.1 Java Runtime Environment 1.4 Setup instructions
1. Go to your computer's Control Panel. Open the Java Plug-in
2. Select the "Cache" Tab
Un-check the "Enable Caching" box
3. Select the "Proxy" Tab. Follow these Browser Proxy Selection instructions
below. (Generally, un-check the box if accessing iServer on your local network
and check the box for access from your internal network to the internet.)
4. Refresh or restart the webpage.
To disable cache setting:
For Java Version 1.4.2.x it is found under the CACHE TAB.

G.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. (Generally, select "Direct Connection" if accessing
iServer 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.
For Java Version 1.5.x.x it is found under "General" > "Settings" > "View Applets" and
then at the bottom there is the Checkbox to REMOVE CACHE .
Figure G.2 Java 1.5.x.x. Screen Shots
For Java 1.6.x.x it is similar to Java 1.5.x.x but there is no need to remove
CACHE.

G.3 Browser Proxy Selection
Accessing iServer within your internal network
• Usually when the computer and iServers 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 iServers 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 "Readings" or "Chart" 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. .
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 an ethernet hub, an ethernet switch, or a Cross-over
cable connection.
Often when using a peer-to-peer network, the Java plugin and the web browser (such as
Internet Explorer) have internet connections configured to connect through proxy
servers. In such case, you will need to simply assign the final IP address on this peer to
peer network and then view the 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.

33)1(-9 &8&2/-':
To activate data retrieval and to save charts from the Java applets, it is necessary to
create a Java Policy file and copy it onto a folder.
1) Open a Notepad file and using the IP address of the iServer type the following:
grant codeBase "http://192.168.1.200/"
{
permission java.security.AllPermission "*", "*";
};
This file should have the IP address of the iServer; in this case the default IP
address is 192.168.1.200.
If the IP address is changed, then the IP address shown in the file needs to be
changed; otherwise, it will not work.
If DHCP/DNS is enabled, the unique iServer’s name using DNS should replace
the IP address.
Example: "http:\\iTHXTEST". Make sure the DHCP server updates the DNS
table to keep track of the iServer’s name and IP addresses (consult with your
network administrator).
2) Save the file as java_policy.txt.
3) Create a folder in your C: drive called "0_JAVAPOLICY".
4) Place the java_policy.txt file into the "0_JAVAPOLICY" folder.
