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”.

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
Page 15
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
Page 16
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-5cpress 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” 128.100.101.76:1press 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.
Page 17
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.

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.

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://ithxA838 or any name up to sixteen (16)
alphanumeric characters. The default Host Name for an iServer is "ithx" 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 network link to any IP device on that network. If
your IP device has a web server (just like the iServer) then you can access it directly
from the same browser you accessed the iServer. Simply, click on the Web Link button
on the iServer’s welcome page.

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, humidity, dewpoint values
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.

Unit – This would be the units of measurement for that particular sensor. Examples are
% for humidity, F and C for temperature and dewpoint.
Once the unit of temperature is selected, either C or F, it will be a global change
through out the web server, as well as on the LCD display.
Display – If checked the variable (i.e. temperature) will be displayed on the Readings
and Chart applets as well as data transmission in Continuous mode (see Server Section
4.4.3.2). The default is checked.
End Character – This means that the iServer will send a character (in Hex) after the
value for each variable. This will apply to either Continuous or Command mode. The
default is set for 0D (Hex representation of <CR>).
Data Format – This indicates the format of the variable being displayed on a network
host when Continuous or Command transmission is used. Reading 1: T000.0C, 000.0C,
000.0; Reading 2: H00.0%, 00.0%, 00.0 (the C or F will change to the appropriate unit
once you press Save Changes button).
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.

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.
Offset – If it’s determined that the reading is slightly off, this field can be used to
manually assign a numerical value to adjust the reading. The offset can be a positive or
a negative number with one decimal point.
The temperature offset value must be assigned after the Unit (C or F) is
selected. If the unit of temperature is changed, you must reassign the offset
value for the correct result.
Sampling Rate – This determines the rate in which the iServer polls the probe for
temperature and humidity values. The options are 1, 10, and 60 seconds.
The default is set for 10 seconds.
4.4.4 Management
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.
4.4.4.1 Setup

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 and humidity) 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.
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 4.31). By telneting to
Port 2000, you will be able to access temperature, humidity, and dew point 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 4.33 shows the parameters that can be changed.
After connecting to the iServer, you can use the following commands to read, modify, and
get help.

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.
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.
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

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.
To determine the number of valid hosts ID’s remaining after subnetting, use the following
equation: 2n– 2, where n is the number of octet digits left after the subnet mask.

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.

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.

Accuracies are tested at Manufacture’s Outgoing Quality Control at 25°C (77°F) and 3.3V.
Values exclude hysteresis and non-linearity, and is only applicable to noncondensing
environments.
J.2 Operating Conditions
Sensor works stable within
recommended normal range – see
Figure. Long term exposures to
conditions outside normal range,
especially at humidity >80%RH,
may temporarily offset the RH
signal (+3 %RH after 60h). After
return to normal range it will slowly
return towards calibration state by
itself. See Section J.4
“Reconditioning Procedure” to
accelerate eliminating the offset.
Prolonged exposure to extreme
conditions may accelerate ageing.
Figure J.3 Normal Range
J.3 Storage Conditions and Handling Instructions
It is of great importance to understand that a humidity sensor is not a normal electronic
component and needs to be handled with care.
Chemical vapors at high concentration in combination with long exposure times may offset
the sensor reading. For these reasons it is recommended to store the sensors in original
packaging including the sealed ESD bag at following conditions: Temperature shall be in the
range of 10°C – 50°C (0 – 80°C for limited time) and humidity at 20 – 60%RH (sensors that
are not stored in ESD bags). For sensors that have been removed from the original
packaging we recommend to store them in ESD bags made of PE-HD8.
In manufacturing and transport the sensors shall be prevented of high concentration of
chemical solvents and long exposure times. Out-gassing of glues, adhesive tapes and
stickers or out-gassing packaging material such as bubble foils, foams, etc. shall be avoided.
Manufacturing area shall be well ventilated.

J.4 Reconditioning Procedure
As stated above extreme conditions or exposure to solvent vapors may offset the sensor. The
following reconditioning procedure may bring the sensor back to calibration state:
Baking: 100 – 105°C at < 5%RH for 10h
Re-Hydration: 20 – 30°C at ~ 75%RH for 12h.
(75%RH can conveniently be generated with saturated NaCl solution. 100 – 105°C
correspond to 212 – 221°F, 20 – 30°C correspond to 68 – 86°F)
J.5 Temperature Effects
Relative humidity reading strongly depends on temperature. Therefore, it is essential to keep
humidity sensors at the same temperature as the air of which the relative humidity is to be
measured. In case of testing or qualification the reference sensor and test sensor must show
equal temperature to allow for comparing humidity readings.
The packaging of sensor is designed for minimal heat transfer from the pins to the sensor.
Still, if the sensor shares a PCB with electronic components that produce heat it should be
mounted in a way that prevents heat transfer or keeps it as low as possible. Furthermore,
there are self-heating effects in case the measurement frequency is too high.
J.6 Light
The sensor is not light sensitive. Prolonged direct exposure to sunshine or strong UV
radiation may age the housing.
J.7 Materials Used for Sealing / Mounting
Many materials absorb humidity and will act as a buffer increasing response times and
hysteresis. Materials in the vicinity of the sensor must therefore be carefully chosen.
