Department nearest you.

Manuals, Software: The latest Operation Manual as well as free configuration software
(iConnect), datalogging software (iLog), and 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 from one or two Thermocouples with a Web Browser. The

iServer let's you monitor Temperature from two independent Thermocouple channels
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, temperature charts,
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

TM

Applet chart scales are fully adjustable on the fly. For
example, the chart can display one minute, one hour, one day, one week, one month or
one year. Temperature can be charted across the full span, or within any narrow range
such as 20 to 30°C. You can chart temperature from one thermocouple, two
thermocouples, and/or the differential between the two.

The iServer transmitters 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 iServer can display and chart
absolute measurements in two locations and a differential measurement between the two
locations.

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 in any Web
Browser, and the iServer serves a Web Page with the current readings.

Email Alarms. All iServer models that are on a LAN that is connected to the Internet
can trigger an alarm that can be sent by email to a single user or to a group distribution
list, including text messages to cell phones and PDA’s.

The following example illustrates how you can hookup an iServer to your network:
A standard web browser can be used to monitor and chart Temperature from two

independent Thermocouple channels. The browser can also be used to configure the
device’s IP address, passwords, and overall configuration parameters. An iLD Big
Display can be used with an iServer to display readings over the network.

The following example illustrates how you can hookup an iServer and iLD to your
network:

2.2.1 DIP Switch Usage

The iServer is shipped with all 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 DIP switch #2 to ON position.
Power the iServer on and wait about 10 seconds until the iServer fully boots up.
Set the 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 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 a DHCP server over the Ethernet.

2.4 Network Communication Interfaces

2.4.1 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 2.6 RJ45 Pinout

2.4.2 10Base-T Crossover Wiring

When connecting the iServer directly to the computer, the transmit data pins of the
computer should be wired to the receive data pins of the 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

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 the label of your device and contains 6 bytes (12 characters) of hexadecimal
numbers XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX hex

For example: 0A:0C:3D:0B:0A:0B

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

DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol enables individual computers or devices to
extract their IP configurations from a server (DHCP server). If the DHCP is enabled on
your iServer, as soon as the iServer is connected to the network, there is an exchange of
information between DHCP server and the iServer. During this process the IP address,
the Gateway address, and the Subnet Mask will be assigned to the iServer by the DHCP
server. Note that the DHCP server must be configured correctly to do such assignment.

If 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).

DIP switch # 3 shown in “ON” position

Figure 3.2 DIP Switch on the Bottom Side of iServer

Setting the iServer’s IP address to 0.0.0.0 will also enable DHCP.

3.4 DNS

DNS, Domain Name System enables individual computers and devices to be recognized
over a network based on a specific name instead of an IP address. For example, instead
of having to use http://192.168.1.200 (IP address), you would use only http://eis03ec or
any eight character name stored as Host Name under Access Control menu 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 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

3.5 IP Address

Every active device connected to the TCP/IP network must have a unique IP address.
This IP address is used to establish a connection to the iServer’s sensor. Every
computer using TCP/IP should have a unique 32-bit address which is divided into two
portions, the network ID and the host ID. For instance, every computer on the same
network uses the same network ID. At the same time, all of them have a different host ID.
For more details about the IP address see Appendix B.

Telnet 192.168.1.200

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

255.255.255.0. If you are going to use a Web browser or Telnet program to access the

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 (see Section 4.5).

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, it 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.

Figure 3.3 Telnet Login into the iServer

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 the 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 2.2) 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 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.

For the IP address to take effect, the iServer needs to be turned OFF/ON.
Clicking the “Power Recycle” button will turn the iServer OFF and ON.
Pressing the physical button marked “RESET” on the iServer does the same thing.
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

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 iServers on your local
network and check the box for access from your internal network to the
internet.)

4. Refresh or restart the webpage.

Figure 4.7 Read Sensor

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 peer-to-peer
network.

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

4.3.3 Configuration (continued)

B) 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 differential values to the
Ethernet every two seconds. It is mainly used to send readings to a remote display or
logger.

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

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

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

connected. Ports 100 (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 sensors and can be accessed from
anywhere on the network (irrelevant to RS-232 or RS-485 interface).

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.

C) 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).
Remote Port: (default 2000) the port number for the remote device to which the data

is sent (e.g. an iLD Display).
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.

File Edit Setup Control Window Help

Remote Display Format: Is used for Terminal Server continuous mode. This determines
the data format sent by the iServer to a remote network node (e.g. iLD Display)

Example: If Channel 1 shows temperature of 71.34°F, the TA71.34F will be seen on the
remote display. If no format is specified (blank), there is no reading sent out. If
temperature is 75.7 and T00.0F is used in temperature setting, the remote site will show
T75.7F.

This format setup was originally made for the iLD Display, which has four or six LEDs.
For six LEDs, T00.00F format, and for four LEDs, 00.0F format are appropriate.

Remote End Char: The default value is 0D (Hex
representation of <CR>). This means that the iServer
sends <CR> after each temperature value. This will be
done in Continuous mode.

This is how the data will appear on the host with 0D
assigned:

TA71.34F
TA72.48F
TD-1.19F

If the end character, for instance, is 20 (Hex
representation of space), the data will then appear as:

TA71.34FTA72.48FTD-1.19F

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

calibration. If it’s determined that the readings are slightly off, the user can manually
assign numerical values to adjust the readings for temperature values. The unit must be
in degree C. The Offset value can either be a positive or negative number

Cold Junction: The options are Disable and Comp_1 for sensor 1 and Comp_2 for
sensor 2. Selecting Comp_1 or Comp_2 will allow you to adjust (calibrate) that sensor in
reference to 0°C environment. Cold Junction Compensation is done for type K thermocouple

for both sensors before the product is shipped. If a different type of thermocouple is used, we
strongly recommend to perform Cold Junction Compensation on that sensor.

Input 2: The options are Enable and Disable for the second thermocouple sensor only. If
it is disabled the thermocouple #2 and the “Differential” value will be shown as “N/A” on
the “Read Sensor” and “Chart” pages.

4.3.5 Access Control

This section describes the "Access Control" page of the iServers’s Web interface. This
page allows the users to set up the network and security parameters of the iServer.

At the initial entrance to the “Access Control” page you will be prompted for the LOGIN
Password (see Figure 4.6) prior to an ADMINISTRATOR Password.

If the second thermocouple channel is not used, it is strongly recommended to
disable “Input 2”, for faster operation.

Login Password: This allows users to access and modify all of the iServer Home Page

menu items, except “Access Control”, which requires an Administrator password. The
default Login password is 12345678. This password can be up to 16 alpha-numeric
case-sensitive characters.

If there is no Login Password assigned (blank box) the 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.

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.

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 # 3 to ON position.

24

4.3.5 Configure 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’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.

Changes made in the iServer’s Access Control page can be saved permanently
by pressing the Save button and Power Recycling the iServer (press Power
Recycle button).

Pressing the Reset button will set all the fields back to their default values.

4.4 Telnet Setup

In the Configuration page, set the Number of Connections (Sockets) to 1 - 5 other than 0,
and use a telnet simulation program to connect to the iServer (using Port 2000). In

continuous mode, the telnet teminal will receive continuous data 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.

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 # 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.

25

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 available on our
website and CD.

In order to use port 1000, in the Configuration page of the iServer you must set
“Number of Connections” to 0. In this case the port number will change to 1000
regardless of what the port number already is.

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 “*SRTF\r” 192.168.1.200:1000

where:

-r –S are parameters needed for the command string

"*SRTF" is the reading command of Channel 1:

*SRTC Read the temperature in °C - Channel 1
*SRTF Read the temperature in °F - Channel 1
*SRHF Read the temperature in °F - Channel 2
*SRHC Read the temperature in °C - Channel 2
*SRDF Read the differential in °F
*SRDC Read the differential in °C

\r is the carriage return termination character

192.168.1.200 is an IP address

1000 is a socket port number
Response:

076.6 (in Deg.F format)

26

4.5.2 HTTPget and ARP to setup Device IP Address

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

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

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

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

httpget –r –S "00000000" 192.168.1.200:1

where:

“0000000” is admin. password. If the password is wrong, the unit will ignore the new IP.
If the new IP is taken, you will get the message " New IP is Assigned" after the HTTPget
command. The device will reset automatically.

“192.168.1.200” is an example of an IP address. It is replaced with IP address suitable
for your network

“00-03-34-00-06-b6” is replaced with your iServer product MAC address.

4.6 ARP Protocol

ARP is the Internet layer protocol responsible for matching or obtaining the MAC
(hardware) address that corresponds to a particular IP address. The ARP command
allows the user to view the current contents of the ARP cache of the local computer
(residing on the same network).

Microsoft includes the ARP.EXE utility for viewing and modifying the ARP cache with its
Windows products. The following ARP commands can be used to view cache entries:

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

• arp –a plus IP address ➞ Use this command to view ARP cache entries associated

with one particular interface on a network with multiple adapters.

• arp –g ➞ Same as arp –a.

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

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

add a permanent static entry to the ARP cache.

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

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

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. There is a Serial-to-Ethernet iServer that 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 it’s illustrated below.

1. An IP address should be assigned to the iServer dynamically or statically (recommended).

2. Use a browser to access the Local iServer’s WEB page. Simply type the iServer’s IP

address at the browser’s URL location (i.e. 192.168.1.49) followed by an Enter key.
You should then see the iServer’s main WEB page.

3. Click on the Update button.

4. Click on Configuration, you will be prompted with a Password (default is 12345678).

5. On the Configuration page, under Serial Communication section, make sure the

parameters such as Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, Flow Control, etc. match
with your attached serial device and its application software.

6. Make sure to set the End Character (Hex) to 00 and the Timeout to 0.

7. Under Terminal Server section, set Number of Connections to 0.

8. Under Remote Access section, set the Remote Access to enable, Enter the Remote

IP address (would be the IP address of the remote iServer, 192.168.1.50), and use the
default Remote Port number 2000.

9. Set Connection Control to Reconnect and set the Connection Timeout to a desired value.

The Reconnect option is used in Serial Tunneling and it applies only to the Local
iServer. If the tunneling connection between the two iServers goes down due to
network problems, power failure, etc., the Reconnect option will enable the Local
iServer to reconnect with the Remote iServer based on the specified time interval in
the Connection Timeout. For example, based on a timeout of 1000 x 10 ms (10
seconds), the Local iServer will continually attempt to reconnect and re-establish the
tunnel with the Remote iServer every 10 seconds.

10. Click on Save button for the changes to take place.

11. Initialize the serial device application software to establish the connection.

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.

4.9.1 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.

Email Address Setup

The email addresses must be entered using individual addresses or alias. Select
“Options” from the “View” menu and enter the email addresses on the “Send To” screen.
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.

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.

38

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

39

Appendix C IP Netmask

IP Netmask or Subnet Mask is a 32-bit pattern of ones and zeros used to determine
network portion of an IP address from the host portion of the IP address. Subnet mask is
a network ID that is created by borrowing bits from host portion of IP address and using
them as part of a network ID. The table below shows a default subnet mask for address
Classes A, B, and C. Each bit that is set to "1" in the subnet mask corresponds to the bit
in the IP address that is to be used as the network ID. Each bit that is set to "0" in the
subnet mask corresponds to a bit in the IP address that is to be used as the host ID.

Address Class Mask Binary Value Mask Decimal Value

or Dotted Notation

Class A 255.0.0.0
Class B 255.255.0.0

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.
