FLASH RESET Button: Used for power reseting the Flash Memory Card/LCD board.
6 2.4 Disassembly Instruction Y ou may need to open the unit for one of the following reasons: • T o wire relay connector . (Refer to Figure 2.7 ) • T o connect or replace the battery .
7 2.5 Network Communication Interfaces 2.5.1 10Base-T RJ-45 Pinout The 10BASE-T Ethernet network (RJ45) system is used in the iServer for network connectivity . The 10 Mbps twisted-pair Ethernet system operates over two pairs of wires. One pair is used for receiving data signals and the other pair is used for transmitting data signals.
8 P ART 3 NETWORK CONFIGURA TION 3.1 Network Protocols The iServer can be connected to the network using standard TCP/IP protocols. It also supports ARP , HTTP (WEB server), DHCP , DNS and T elnet protocols. 3.2 Ethernet (MAC) Address MAC (Media Access Control) address is your computer's unique hardware number .
9 3.3 DHCP DHCP , Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol enables individual computers or devices to extract their IP configurations from a server (DHCP server). If the DHCP is enabled on your iServer , as soon as the iServer is connected to the network, there is an exchange of information between DHCP server and the iServer .
3.5.1 Default IP Address The iServer is shipped with a default IP address set to 192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0 . If you are going to use a Web browser or T elnet program to access the.
11 P ART 4 OPERA TIONS This iServer can be used and configured in several ways, depending on user ’s preference and network setup. It can be configured using a Web browser , like Netscape or Internet Explorer . It can also be configured using NEWPORT’s iCONNECT Configuration Software.
12 4.1 iCONNECT Software The iServer may also be assigned an IP Address by using the iCONNECT software. a) Download the iCONNECT software from the website listed in this manual. b) Install iCONNECT software on a networked PC. This software is compatible with Windows 95, NT , 2000, and XP .
13 4.2 Setting a New IP Address over the Network Besides using the iCONNECT software, you may use the iServer’s default IP address to access it and assign a new IP address to it. The iServer is shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of 255.
14 4.3 Setup and Operation using the iServer Web Page • Start your web browser . • From the browser you type http://eisxxxx using the last four-digits from the MAC address label located on the device if DHCP and DNS are used. If a static IP address is used, then simply type http://x.
4.3.1 Read Sensor • Click on . In a few seconds the following page ( Figure 4.7 ) will appear with all default values of 100.00. Then the actual readings of T emperature and Barometric Pressure will be displayed. • This page automatically updates the T emperature and Barometric Pressure values.
16 4.3.1.2 Java Runtime Environment 1.5 (5.0) Setup instructions 1. Go to your computer's Control Panel. Open the Java Plug-in 2. Click on "Settings" & "View Applets" in the "General" tab. 3. Select the "Settings" button on the General T ab Un-check the "Enable Caching" box.
17 4.3.2 Adjustable Chart • Click on , the following page ( Figure 4.8 ) should appear . The Java™ Applet graph displays T emperature and Barometric Pressure and can be charted across the full span (-40 to 123ºC) or within any narrow range (such as 20-30ºC).
4.3.3 Retrieving Data from Flash T o retrieve and graph the data that is stored in the Flash Memory , you have two options: OPTION 1: Y ou can use the iServer ’s WEB interface to chart the data stored in the flash memory . 1. Click on the “Chart” button located on the Server Home Page, see Figure 4.
19 4.3.4 Access Control This section describes the "Access Control" page of the iServers’s Web interface. This page allows the users to set up the network and security parameters of the iServer . At the initial entrance to the “Access Control” page you will be prompted for the LOGIN Password (see Figure 4.
4.3.5 Configuration Setting up the Flash Memory Card can be done in the Configuration page. From the Home Page Menu click on to get to the page (see Figure 4.1 1 ). General Description of the Configuration page: There are two general sections “Flash Card Memory” and “Server”.
4.3.5 Configuration (continued) Figure 4.1 1 Configuration Below are the definitions of terms used in the Configuration page. A) Sensor/Device Setup Clicking on the No. 1 or 2 allows you to modify the Sensor/Device Parameters (see Section 4.3.6 for more details).
B) Real Time Clock RTC Date and T ime : The formats are mm/dd/yyyy and hh:mm:ss . The exact formats are required otherwise an error message will appear in the T itle box.
F) Flash Recording T itle : Editable field with up to 16 characters long. The given name will display as a title on the Chart and Read Sensor pages either for the real-time data or the stored data. Sensor Unit: The unit of temperature either in degree Fahrenheit F or degree Celcius C f or each type of barometric pressure unit hPa, inHg or mmHg.
NOTE 2: Downloading data and recording can not be done at the same time. While downloading data, the writing process to the flash memory will be internally disabled while the data is being read from the memory flash. For small amounts of data to be retrieved (1 Day or 1 Week), this is not a significant interruption in the recording data.
Port: (default 2000) is the default TCP port number for the port to which the sensor is connected. Ports 1000 (used for HTTPget, refer to Section 4.5 ), 2002, 2003, and 2004 are reserved for internal use. T erminal Server usually describes a device that exchanges data between Ethernet/TCPIP networks and RS-232/RS-485 systems.
26 4.3.6 Sensor Parameters • In the first column of Configuration page ( Figure 4.1 1 ), click on No. 1 to view and modify the Sensor Parameters page for T emperature. Figure 4.12 Sensor Parameters Below are some definitions of terms used in the Sensor Parameters page.
27 4.4 T elnet Setup Set the Number of Connections to 1-5 other than 0, using telnet simulation program connect to iServer . In continuous mode, the telnet teminal will receive continuous messages from the iServer . In command mode, the command can be sent to query the iServer and get a response back.
28 4.5.1 HTTPGET using Port 1000 Y ou 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 embedded server firmware by using TCP port 1000 . The command string is sent to this TCP port, then the response can be read back from the same socket.
29 4.5.2 HTTPGET and ARP to setup Device IP Address Use the iCONNECT software, which may be downloaded from our website, to do these IP changes whenever possible. Use ARP first to assign the mac address to a static IP address in computer arp table by this command: apr –s 192.
30 4.6 ARP Protocol ARP is the Internet layer protocol responsible for matching or obtaining the MAC (hardware) address that corresponds to a particular IP address. The ARP command allows the user to view the current contents of the ARP cache of the local computer (residing on the same network).
4.7 iLOG Software The iLOG software can be used only with NEWPORT Electronics instruments. This is an Excel application software that can log temperature and barometric pressure from an iServer over the Ethernet or the internet. a) Download the iLOG software from the website listed in this manual.
4.8 Mail Notifier Software The Mail Notifier Software can be used only with NEWPORT Electronics instruments. For complete information of how to use the Mail Notifier software, click on the Help menu of the main window . The Mail Notifier software generates email notifications for alarm conditions.

APPENDIX A GLOSSAR Y 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.
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.
Appendix C IP Netmask IP Netmask or Subnet Mask is a 32-bit pattern of ones and zeros used to determine network portion of an IP address from the host portion of the IP address. Subnet mask is a network ID that is created by borrowing bits from host portion of IP address and using them as part of a network ID.
