INTRODUCTION

1.1 Safety and EMC Considerations

Refer to the CE Approvals Section.

EMC Considerations

• Whenever EMC is an issue, always use shielded cables.

• Never run signal and power wires in the same conduit.

• Use twisted-pair wires for signal connections.

• 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) 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.

2

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.

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”.

8

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.

Figure 2.7 Relay and I/O Contact Connections

PART 3

NETWORK CONFIGURATION

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

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.

11

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.

PART 4

OPERATIONS

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)

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.

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.

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.

Figure 4.13 Network: 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.

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).

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.

21

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.

If the iServer detects the link to be 100 Mbps the 100 BASE-T LED will be solid green.

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.

Reading Low 10.0

Reading High 200.0

Ref. Low 12.0

Ref. High 195.0

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.

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.

Fields are described below.

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: [email protected],[email protected]

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.

Make sure your Current Date and Time are correct.

Type – The options are Wrap and Non-Wrap.

If Wrap is selected once the SD flash card is full the iServer will delete the old data stored on the card in order to record the new data. Each time a new recording takes place an old record will be deleted.

If Non-Wrap is selecetd the iServer will stop recording once the SD flash card is full.

36

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 4.29 System: 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.

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:

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.

41

4.4.7.3 Upgrade (continued)

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.

4.8 Telnet 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 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

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.

49

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).

Notes on using HTTPget :

The HTTPget.exe program should be installed to the windows directory (usually c:\winnt or c:\windows)

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.

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.

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.

57

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 2 16 = 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 2

8

= 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

58

Appendix C ARP Commands

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

Figure C.1 ARP Commands and Responses

59

Appendix D 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.

Appendix G Java Runtime Environment Setup

G.1 Java Runtime Environment Setup

If your computer does not have Java installed, please download from 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.1.1 Java Runtime Environment 1.7 Setup instructions

1. Go to your computer's Control Panel. Open the Java Plug-in.

Figure G.1 Java 1.7 Screen Shot

The "Data Logging" button on the "Readings" page, "Save Chart" button on the

"Chart" page, and the "Retrieve" button on the "Recording Data Retrieval" page will not be active if the instructions explained in the above are not followed.

64

G.2 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 s hould be blank. Also, setup the internet browser so that proxy servers are disabled.
