Notes for Using Auto-download Function

(Depending on the software, the Auto-download function may not be included)

About the Auto-Download Function and Windows Automatic Update

Windows can be set to use the Windows Automatic Update function.

This will automatically periodically download and install patches, updates and important software repair programs in order to keep your computer up-to-date.

If the default setting "Install Updates Automatically" is being used for Windows Update, depending on the downloaded program, Windows may automatically restart after downloading has been completed.

Some T&D applications contain an "Auto-Download" function; it is necessary for these applications to be running at the programmed time in order to download data.

But, when Windows automatically restarts after an automatic "Windows Update", the application is not automatically reopened; hence the "Auto-Download" function can not be executed properly.

Windows Update – Change Settings Display

If in this display, the setting "Install updates automatically (recommended)" has been selected, installation and Auto-restart may occur without any confi rmation necessary from the user.

Control Panel Windows Update Display

(all displays are taken from Vista)

To solve this problem please take steps such as the following:

3-1 Place a shortcut for our "Auto-Download" application in the "Startup" Folder of the "Start" Menu.

By doing this the application will be started when Windows is restarted, and if the programmed time for the auto download has passed, a message will be displayed asking whether or not you wish to run the Auto Download function or not, thereby putting the application in a waiting status for an entry from the user.

26

3-2 In the "Change Settings" display, we do not recommend that the setting be for other than "Install updates automatically (recommended)".

Therefore we suggest the following to disable the Auto-restart of your computer system after an installation has occurred.

Windows Update – Change Settings Display

About the Saving Location for Data Files

The application automatically creates a new data fi le each time an Auto-Download session occurs. Note that when using the Vista OS the "Virtual Store" function will redirect fi les from the default folder into which the program was installed to separate folders under [Program Files] for each user, as shown below: [C:\User\(AccountName)\

AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\(Application)].

(EX:

If login was carried out using the account name "myname" and "RTR-5W for Windows" is the application being run, the saving location will appear in the application window as:

[C:\Program Files\RTR-5W for Windows\data] but due to the "Virtual Store" function the actual saving location will be [C:\User\myname\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program

Files\RTR-5W for Windows\data].

If the login was carried out from [Run as Administrator], the fi le will be saved to the folder as it appears in the application window.

RTR-5W for Windows Functions

RTR-5W for Windows is designed to allow the user to utilize RTR-51A/52A/53A and RVR-

52A Data Loggers via the RTR-5W Base Station. From the main window it is possible to carry out the various tasks such as Registrations, Recording and Warning Monitoring

Settings, as well as the Downloading of Data. Management of all devices is carried out in the application main window out using a tree format with loggers being registered to

Groups and Groups belonging to Locations RTR-5W.

Remote Unit/Repeater Installation Procedures

1.

Connect the provided AC adaptor to the Base Unit (RTR-5W), and connect the

LAN cable to the PC

For more details see "p.15 Getting the RTR-5W Ready to Use".

2.

Register Groups and Remote Units

Register all Remote Units to be placed.

For more details see "p.49 Remote Unit Registration".

3.

Register Repeater Names and Relay Routes.

For more details see "p.58 Repeater Registration".

NOTE:

There is no need to register a Repeater if there are no Repeaters between a Remote Unit and the

RTR-50 Base Unit. However, if communication cannot be successfully carried out due to poor radio wave reception, please place Repeater(s) between the Remote Unit and the Base Unit.

ɡ

About Repeaters

A "Repeater" is defi ned as an RTR-50 Wireless Communication Port that has been registered as a "Repeater" to act as a relay for Wireless Communication between a Base

Unit and Remote Units from the our RTR-5 Series.

[Limitations when using a Repeater]

Although it is logically possible to register up to 250 Repeaters in a route, each additional

Repeater added to the route will proportionately increase communication time. To download a the full amount of data from one Remote Unit without any Repeaters will take about 7 minutes, hence with the addition of each Repeater the amount of necessary communication time will be increased by 7 minutes. If there are 10 units, the necessary time would reach about 70 minutes.

Communication time for an RTR-50 is set to be limited to no longer than 2 hours and 30 minutes. For this reason, if there were 250 Repeaters it would be impossible to download the full data of even one Remote Unit. If it is necessary to download a unit with full data, then it is also necessary to have no more than 20 Repeaters.

For all communications other than downloading, no confl ict with the time limitation will occur, even if there are 250 Repeaters present.

[Image of Repeater Registration]

Once the registration of a Repeater is complete, a Repeater Number will automatically be assigned to each Repeater.

Also, when carrying out Repeater Registration it is possible to assign a "Relay Route Name" that can be used to make sure that data is transmitted through a multiple number of Repeaters in the specifi ed route.

48

49

NOTE:

- It is possible to set up so that more than one Repeater acts as a relay for the same Remote Units.

However because wireless communication is carried out in Groups of Remote Units, the same Group will be relayed through different Repeaters causing ineffi ciency and an increase in the amount of communication time to more than necessary.

In order to reduce the communication time, please design Relay Routes so that a particular Group of

Remote Units uses the same Repeater(s).

- A Repeater Number will be automatically assigned to Repeaters in the order that they were registered to each Route.

Communication among Repeaters will occur in sequence from the one that is closest to the Base Unit.

Please keep that in mind when placing the Repeaters.

(EX:

Communication will occur sequentially from the fi rst Repeater as shown above.

If the Repeaters are not arranged in numerical sequence from the Base Unit, the communication route will be as seen below. This will cause not only the communication distance to increase but also the communication time to increase to longer than necessary.

4.

After each Registration has been completed, please check the communication status by carrying out a Wireless Communication Test from the [Repeater

Registration] Window under [Communication] - [Wireless Communication Test].

*If no Repeater is registered, the current data from all Remote Units will be gathered to confi rm the communication status.

Remote Registration

In order to carry out Wireless Communication between a Data Logger and an RTR-5W

Base Station, it is fi rst necessary to register the Data Logger as a Remote Unit of that

[Rough Guidelines for Adjustment]

1 point Adjustment: Use when measuring in a range of Ⱦ 20ºC.

This adjustment method changes only the offset (b) where the slope (a) is considered 1.

For example, the RTR-52Pt is measuring 10ºC, but the standard says the actual measurement should be 10.2ºC. Enter 10 in the Current Reading box and 10.2 in the Post - adjusted Reading box

The conversion equation will be Y=X+0.2 and for all measurements an adjustment to the offset of

+0.2 will be made.

2 point Adjustment: Use when measuring in a wide range.

The adjustment equation will be calculated from two points: the slope (a) and the offset (b).

For example, the RTR-52Pt reads 0ºC when the standard thermometer reads 0.4ºC, and reads

10ºC when the standard says the true measurement is 10.2ºC. In this case the slope (a) is

10.2-0.4 /100 Ɂ 0.98.

The offset is 0.4, so the conversion equation becomes Y=0.98X+0.4.

The range of the slope is 0<a<=2.Entries are valid to one decimal point, but after calculation up to four digits are valid for the slope and offset.

[Initialize] Button

Clears any previous adjustment equation(s) from the selected Remote unit and initializes the device.

NOTE:

By making new adjustment settings to an already adjusted device without fi rst clicking the Initialize button, the new adjustment equation will be used to further adjust the previously adjusted result. (Ex: if the fi rst time the offset is set at 0.1 and the second time at 0.2 then the offset will be 0.3 from the original measured data.) If you carry out new adjustment settings without fi rst initializing it is easy to see that the difference will increase dramatically. When carrying out adjustment to the slope (2 point adjustment), these differences will be especially large if the entered values are outside of the temp /humidity range. When you are carrying out adjustments and formulating equations please take care with the settings and take personal responsibility for the process.

Troubleshooting

ɡ


Q.1 The following message appears "Windows Security Alert", what should

I do?

A

If you are using Windows XP SP2, the following message may be displayed.

There is no problem, so please click [Unblock].

Q.2 Is it possible to use the [Network Settings Utility] via a proxy server?

A

Communication is impossible via a proxy server. With Web Viewer communication is possible.

Q.3 I cannot run a search in the Network Initialization. Why?

A

One of the following may be the reason:

Power is not being supplied by the AC adaptor to the RTR-5W.

The RTR-5W and the computer you are using are not on the same network.

The [Network Settings Utility] is already being used by another computer.

The LAN card which is being used has not been formatted.

Q.4 I cannot make settings in the Network Initialization, Why?

A

One of the following may be the reason.

- The Login ID and / or Password are incorrect.

- Another RTR-5W with the same IP address is on the same network.

137

Q.5 Why does a "Communication Error (Connection Error) " appear?

A

The network is probably not properly connected.

- One of the following is incorrect: IP address or Domain, Login ID, Password, or Port

Number.

- The network is not properly connected (the LAN cable is broken, the Hub is damaged, a mistake occurred in setting up the router, etc Ȥ ).

- In the "Menu" - " Communication Time Settings" try slowing the communication time.

Q.6 Because of some other [Communication Error] communication cannot occur. Why?

A

One of the following may be the reason:

- The IP Block setting is ON and communication can occur with only specifi c PC's.

- If after several attempts a communication error continues to occur, turn OFF the RTR-

5W and restart.

- A warning report mail or test mail may be in process. If a sending error occurs, processing takes time, so please wait for at least one minute before trying again.

Q.7 Which has priority, a wireless LAN or a wired LAN?

A

If a wireless LAN card is inserted, the wireless LAN will have priority. Because of this, if the wireless LAN settings are incorrect and a wired LAN is connected, communication will not take place via the wired LAN and hence communication will not occur.

Q.8 I forgot the password, what should I do?

A

First, return the settings to the factory default settings and then redo the settings.

Q.9 Is it possible to hide the IP address history and settings history?

A

If you wish to disable the History, in the "Menu", select [Login History] and click to "OFF".

Please note that a history will remain viewable from when before it was disabled. To erase a history, please click on "Clear Login History" in the Menu.

Q&A about RTR-5W

Q&A about RTR-5W

Q.1 RTR-5W units use an AC adaptor, what happens when there is power shortage?

A

- During a power shortage the Web Server will not function and communication via LAN cannot occur.

- If SNTP settings have not been made, the clock will be reset.

- The data fi les for transfer will be erased.

- All warning occurrence logs stored in the RTR-5W will be erased.

Q.2 Can I connect directly to my computer with the LAN cable that comes with the logger?

A

To connect a RTR-5W logger directly to your computer, you must use a cross LAN cable.

The LAN cable supplied is a straight LAN cable and cannot be used to connect directly to your computer.

Please purchase a cross LAN cable at your local computer supply store.

Q.3 Does the RTR-5W have a clock and calendar?

A

The RTR-5W has an internal clock (calendar) built into it.

If the internal clock settings for the RTR-5W are not set correctly, the date and time in the RTR-5W Web Viewer’s current readings monitor and the time of warnings will also be incorrect. Make sure to set correctly before using.

NOTE:

If you make clock settings manually, the clock will lose its settings upon removal of the AC adaptor or after restarting the system.

Q.4 Is it possible to connect the RTR-5W to the network by using the LAN cable that connects the computer to the LAN network?

A

Inserting the wireless LAN cable that connects the computer to the network into the RTR-

5W will physically connect the RTR-5W to the network, but without making the necessary settings such as IP address, the RTR-5W cannot be active in the network and hence is not really connected.

After having inserted the LAN cable, make sure to go to [Network Settings Utility] to make the necessary IP address and subnet mask settings.

Q.5 Is it possible to connect to a wireless LAN by removing the wireless

LAN card from my computer and using it?

A

It is necessary to make Wireless LAN settings.

In [Network Settings Utility], under [Detailed Network Settings] make changes to the

[Wireless LAN Settings]. After that, turn OFF the RTR-5W power, then insert the card and turn the power back ON.

Q.6 I want to use a wireless LAN, which products should I use?

A

Please use only those CF type Wireless LAN cards that have been proven to be compatible and are suggested for use.

Q.7 Which has priority, a wireless LAN or a wired LAN?

A

If the Wireless LAN is connected properly and all settings are correct, the Wireless LAN will have priority.

Q.8 I want to have a mail sent when a warning occurs, how can I do this?

A

To use the warning mail function, it is necessary to have an SMTP server.

If you have an Internet connection, use the mail server of your Internet service provider or some other means to access a mail sever. If you have a mail server on your company LAN, there may be specifi c instructions and settings for sending mail. Please ask the network administrator at your company for details.

Q&A about Web Server Functions

Q.1 Are the RTR-5W Base Stations web servers?

A

The RTR-5W stations have web server functionality built into them. This function allows for the provision or serving up of temperature and humidity data, current readings and graphs.

Q.2 What is a Web Server? What is a client?

A

In a computer network, the computer that acts as a provider of services to various users is called a server and the computers which request these services from the server are referred to as clients.

Most communication service is made up of exchanges between servers and clients.

In the case of RTR-5W, the RTR-5W provides functions and information so it is a server and the computer, which reads this information or functions, is the client.

For example, the storage of Website and the making public of these are done by the [Web

Server] and the sending and receiving of e–mail is performed by the [Mail Server].

Q&A about Viewing the Web Site

Q.1 Can I use a RTR-5W logger without connecting it to a network?

A

If the RTR-5W is not connected to a network, the downloading of recorded data, the display of current readings, recording settings and all other types of settings cannot be carried out.

Q.2 What must I do to view current RTR-5W readings on my cell phone?

A

To view the current readings of a RTR-5W it is necessary to connect your cell phone to the

Internet.

If the RTR-5W is connected to the Internet it is possible to view the current readings via your cell phone by entering the same URL as you do when viewing via your computer.

Q&A about Networks

Q.1 What is a network?

A

A network is a system in which a group of computers are connected by cable (copper wire, optical fi ber, etc), infrared ray, radio waves or other means in order to share and exchange information.

There are basically two types of computer networks.

A Local Area Network or LAN consists of a group or network of computers in a limited range.

A Wide Area Network or WAN is a network of computers that are connected over long distance. The Internet is an example of a WAN that has connected a multiple number of networks.

Q.2 What is an IP address?

A

In a network, in order to distinguish your computer from another it is necessary to assign a number; this number is called an IP address.

When you connect to an outside network such as the Internet the IP address that is used is referred to as a "Global IP address. In a Local Area Network the IP address that is used is called a "Private IP address".

An IP address is divided into 4 blocks of numbers separated by periods, such as

"192.168.15.10". The assigned numbers can use the digits 0-255 with private IP addresses usually beginning with numbers such as "192.168.".

ɦ However, the number "255." is not usually used.

This number is absolutely necessary to enable participation in a network, so it is necessary to set the IP address to a number that suits your network environment.

Q.3 What is a Subnet mask?

A

An IP address is made up of the network address to which the computer belongs (network address) and the computer’s own address within the network (host address). The Subnet mask determines the division between these.

.ETWORK!DDRESS

(OST!DDRESS

)0!DDRESS

3UBNETMASK

The Subnet mask, similar to the IP address, is made up of four blocks of numbers divided by periods, such as "255.255.255.0

ȩ .

This number is absolutely necessary to enable participation in a network, so it is necessary to set the Subnet mask to a number that suits your network environment.

Q.4 How should I make settings for the IP address / Subnet mask?

A

The IP address and Subnet mask settings vary depending upon your networking environment (structure). Please consult your network administrator for details. Below is a simplifi ed explanation of a company LAN set up for your reference.

If the computer connected to your company LAN has a Subnet mask of "255.255.255.0" and an IP address of "192.168.100.1", set the Subnet mask to the same as your computer,

"255.255.255.0".

Set the IP address to 192.168.100.***. Make sure to set the last three digits,***, to a number between 1-254 that is not the same as any other computer connected in your network.

Q.5 What is a MAC address?

A

A MAC address is a unique number made up of alphabet and numbers that is assigned separately to the components of network communication (computer, server, router, etc...).

Each MAC address is assigned to the hardware and is unique to that device, so there is no chance for duplication.

Q.6 What is a port number?

A

When using TCP/IP communication with a LAN cable or via a phone line, port numbers are assigned to distinguish one application from another.

Port numbers can be assigned from 0 to 65535. The numbers 0 to 1023 are already reserved to communication services and are referred to as "Well Known Port Numbers".

[Well known port numbers] are: HTTP communication at 80 / FTP communication at 20 and

21 / SMTP communication (sending mail) at 25 / POP3 communication (receiving mail) at

110.

In order for communication to work properly these port numbers must be set correctly.

Q.7 What is a gateway?

A

A gateway is a term used to refer to a device or software that is used to link networks with different standards.

For example, a gateway is needed when connecting a cell phone to the Internet or in any case where you wish to connect two devices that are completely different. Gateway carries with it the meaning of entrance and exit and a router may also be referred to with this term.

When making gateway settings, it is necessary to make IP address settings for the device that will act as a gateway.

144

145

Q.8 What is a URL?

A

A URL is an address that is written in a way so that it is easy for the DNS function to determine on which server the IP address is located.

This address begins with "http:// " and is followed by such things as domain names, server names, port numbers, fi le names and other such info.

HTTPWWWTANDDCOJPPRODUCTRTRWINDEXPHP

SCHEMA DOMAINNAME FILENAME

For example, if the IP address that is assigned to "www.tandd.com" is "61.197.203.107", by entering "http://61.197.203.107/product/wdr_3/tr_7w_01feature.html" in the browser, the same page will appear as when you enter "http://www.tandd.com/product/tr_7w/ tr_7w_01feature.html".

* The DNS or Domain Name Server helps to switch diffi cult to understand IP address of just numbers, such as "61.197.203.107" into easy to grasp names such as "www.tandd.com" and helps connect to the desired server.

ɡ

Q&A about the Internet

Q.1 What is a fi xed IP address?

A

Usually, when you connect to the Internet, the provider with which you have contracted service automatically assigns an IP address which may be different each time you connect, or may change after a certain length of time.

With this type of changing IP address, it is more diffi cult for outsiders to illegally enter your computer. On the other hand, when using your computer or a RTR-5W unit as a sever, it would be necessary to enter a different IP address as the URL each time you wish to access it. In such a case, it would be necessary to fi nd out the current IP address each time you wished to access and this would be totally inconvenient.

To help solve this problem, there is something called a fi xed IP address service that your provider can offer.

With a fi xed IP address, you will be assigned a special unique IP address.

Some providers may give you a fi xed IP address from the beginning of service, but with most providers it is necessary to sign up for this special service.

Q.2 How do you get a fi xed IP address?

A

A fi xed IP address is a service offered by your Internet provider.

For details about how to receive a fi xed IP address, contact the Internet provider with which you are connected.

Q.3 How should I set up a fi xed IP address?

A

If you are using only one RTR-5W connected to one router, then the fi xed IP address should not be set for the RTR-5W, but for the router. If you are using a multiple number of RTR-

5W connected to one router, the RTR-5W will use FTP and HTTP so, please set a fi xed IP address for each RTR-5W unit.

Because it is impossible, when using normal ADSL or FTTH lines, to directly connect the

RTR-5W to the Internet line, it is necessary to place a router between the logger and the

ADSL (FTTH) modem.

When using a router, the fi xed Internet IP address should be assigned to the router and all access to the RTR-5W from outside should go through the router. In this case, the router will have two IP addresses: an external IP address for the Internet and an internal IP address for the company or household LAN.

146

147

Q.4 I want to use a URL without a fi xed IP address, how can I do that?

A

If you wish to access an RTR-5W by URL but without a fi xed IP address, it is possible to use a dynamic DNS.

The DNS or Domain Name Server helps to switch diffi cult to understand IP address of just numbers, such as "61.197.203.107" into easy to grasp names such as "www.tandd.co.jp" and helps connect to the desired server.

The DNS usually changes names to fi xed IP addresses.

But, if for some reason you cannot use a fi xed IP address or for security reasons you wish not to use a fi xed IP address, there is a type of DNS called a dynamic DNS, which can handle ever-changing IP addresses.

For example, the starting IP address is "210.0.0.1" and the URL associated with it is "http:// www.rtr5w.com".

The IP address "210.0.0.1" is of the changing type that is periodically reassigned by the provider. After a certain period of time the assigned IP address is changed to "210.0.0.2".

Normally, at this point the DNS would not associate the URL with the IP address and access would be made impossible, but because the dynamic DNS tracks the IP address you can still access the desired server using the same URL.

There are many types of dynamic DNS plans and services available, please contact your local provider for more details.

Q.5 Can I use the Warning Mail function without getting or using a fi xed IP address?

A

If it is possible for you to connect to the Internet by using a dynamic DNS, theoretically it is possible to send mail without having or using a fi xed IP address. That is presuming it is possible to successfully send data via your provider's mail sever or your company's mail server.

Fundamentally, if you are able to access your company mail server or connect to the

Internet it should be possible to send mail.

Q.6 Is it possible to connect to the Internet without a fi xed IP address or an

URL?

A

Yes it is possible to connect without using a URL or having a fi xed IP address, but because the IP address that will be assigned by the provider will be constantly changing, the access will be varied and will not go smoothly.

For example, the IP address that you used successfully one hour before may no longer work and access will be made impossible. Further, you will have no way of verifying the new

IP address.

We strongly suggest using either a fi xed IP address or a dynamic DNS.

Q.7 If I connect the RTR-5W to the Internet, is it not possible that another person could read my data or change my settings?

A

Yes, as long as you are connected to the Internet, the logger could well be the target of unwanted access.

And, as long as you are open on the Internet, it is possible that a third party could view your current readings or recorded data, or even, make changes to your settings.
