• Install Ferrite Bead(s) on signal wires close to the instrument if EMC problems persist.
Failure to follow all instructions and warnings may result in injury!
1.2 Before You Begin
Inspecting Your Shipment: Remove the packing slip and verify that you have received
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), 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 + Humidity with a Web Browser. The iServer let’s you monitor and
record Temperature, Relative Humidity and Dew Point over an Ethernet network or the
Internet with no special software -- just a Web browser. The iServer serves Active Web
Pages to display real time readings and display charts of temperature, humidity and dew
point, or log data in standard data formats for use in a spreadsheet or data acquisition
program such as Excel or Visual Basic.
Adjustable Charts. The Java™ Applet chart scales are fully adjustable on the fly. For
example, the chart can display one day, one week, one month or one year. Temperature
and humidity can be charted across the full span (-40 to 124ºC, and 0 to 100% RH) or
within any narrow range (such as 20 to 30ºC).
Sensor and Calibration. The iServer transmitters come complete with a temperature and
humidity probe for measurement of a single location. There is a choice of industrial
probes in 2” (with a 3’ cable) or 5” length (with a 10’ cable) and a wand style probe which
is designed for ambient indoor applications.
It is not necessary to take the iServer out of service for routine calibration. The
temperature / humidity sensors are interchangeable and can be replaced for about the
same cost as a typical calibration. We offer replacement sensors with optional 3-point
NIST traceable calibration certificates.

and
Email Alarms. The device can trigger an alarm if temperature or humidity 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.
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.
Award-winning Technology. The iServer is simple to install and use. It features award
winning technology that requires no special software except a Web browser. The iServer
connects to an Ethernet Network with a standard RJ45 connector and sends data in
standard TCP/IP packets. It is easily configured with a simple menu using a Web
browser and can be password protected. From within an Ethernet LAN or over the
Internet, the user simply types its IP address or an easy to remember name such as
"CleanRM5" or "ServRoom" in any Web Browser, and the iServer serves a Web Page
with the current readings. The iServer comes complete with one temperature/humidity
wand probe, universal ac power adapter, and full documentation.
Typical Applications: The iServer is great for monitoring temperature + humidity in
applications such as: clean rooms, computer rooms, HVAC systems, pharmaceutical
and food processing and storage, hospitals, laboratories, semiconductor fabs, electronic
assembly, warehousing, museums, manufacturing, greenhouses, farm animal shelters,
and many more.
Example:
A standard web browser can be used to monitor and chart temperature and humidity.
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 temperature
and humidity received from an iServer over the Ethernet or the Internet.
The following example illustrates how you can hookup an iServer and iLD to your
network:

2.4.1 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 twistedpair 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.
For CE compliance at 100 Mbps: use shielded cable, opposite end of cable must
be grounded.
2.4.2 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”.
2.5 Industrial Probe
Choose one which gives the best signal
integrity-
1) Connect Probe’s Shield to RTN if Probe
Housing is not
connected to Earth Ground.
OR
2) Connect Probe’s Shield to Earth Ground if
Probe Housing is not connected to Earth
Ground.
Refer to Section 2.3 for connector details.

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 and there will be room to put
your IP address. See Figure 3.1
Figure 3.1 Labeling
9
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).
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://ithx03ec 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 "ithx" 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.
101011
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 00-03-34-00-9c-5c press the <Enter> key
128.100.101.76, for example, is the IP address that you want to assign to your iServer
and 00-03-34-00-9c-5c 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 00-03-34-00-9c-5c
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.
