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 software and iServer  
Mail Notifier are available at the website listed on the cover page of this manual or  
on the CD-ROM enclosed with your shipment.  
1.3 Description  
View Temperature + Barometric Pressure with a Web Browser. The iServer let’s you  
monitor and record Temperature and Barometric Pressure over an Ethernet network or  
the Internet with no special software except a Web browser. The iServer serves Active  
Web Pages to display real time readings and display charts of temperature and  
barometric pressure, 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 barometric pressure can be charted across the full span (0-70ºC) or within any  
narrow range (such as 20-30ºC). Barometric pressure can be displayed in hectopascals  
(hPa), millimeters of Mercury (mmHg), or inches of Mercury (inHg).

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 "Cleanroom 5" or  
"Midwest Server Room" in any Web Browser, and the iServer serves a Web Page with the  
current readings. The iServer comes complete with one temperature/barometric pressure  
wand probe, full documentation and software.  
Alarms and Email. If temperature and/or barometric pressure exceeds a set limit, the  
iServer can trigger an alarm that could be sent by email to an Internet enabled pager or  
cell phone.  
A standard web browser can be used to monitor and chart temperature and barometric  
pressure. The browser can also be used to configure the device’s IP address, passwords  
for access and overall configuration parameters. An iLD Big Display can display  
temperature and barometric pressure 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:

2.5.2 10Base-T Crossover Wiring  
When connecting the iServer directly to the computer’s  
network port, the transmit data pins of the computer  
should be wired to the receive data pins of the iServer,  
and vice versa. The 10Base-T crossover cable with pin  
connection assignments are shown below.  
Use straight through cable for connecting the  
iServer to an Ethernet hub. The ports on the  
hub are already crossed.

2.7 Running on Battery Power  
The battery and S5 jumper are installed: if there is a power outage the iServer board will be  
fully functional including the LCD backlight “ON” for approximately 1 hour. You need to make  
sure that the LCD/PWR field on the Configuration page of the iServer is set to UPS (see  
Section 4.3.5.F)  
Battery installed and S5 jumper in storage position (Factory Default): if there is a power  
outage the LCD Backlight and iServer Ethernet board will not run, but the unit will be  
collecting and storing data for approximately 10 days.  
When you first connect the battery, without the AC power adaptor, the unit will be in “Sleep  
Mode”, in order to save power, and the LCD will display “Flash Standby” (provided that S5  
jumper is not installed). When battery is installed, plug the AC adaptor into unit and push the  
Flash Reset Button (refer to Figure 2.3 or Figure 2.4). Unit is now ready to be configured for  
recording the data. Also, if the AC adaptor is unplugged after configuring the unit, it will be  
ready for recording data.  
If you want to move the unit to a different location, remove AC adaptor and press the  
Flash Reset button. Repeat the steps in the above paragraph.

PART 3  
NETWORK CONFIGURATION  
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 Telnet protocols.  
3.2 Ethernet (MAC) Address  
MAC (Media Access Control) address is your computer's unique hardware number.  
When you're connected to the LAN from your computer, a correspondence table relates  
your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address. The MAC address can be  
found on a label attached to your device and 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

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. During this process the IP address,  
the Gateway address, and the Subnet Mask will be assigned to the iServer by the DHCP  
server. Note that the DHCP server must be configured correctly to do such assignment.  
If fixed or static IP address is desired, the DHCP must be disabled. The iServer is  
shipped with DHCP disabled (factory default). The DHCP can be enabled by setting the  
DIP switch # 3 to the “ON” position (refer to Figure 3.2).

To enable the DHCP, slide DIP switch #3 to ON position and power the unit on.  
Besides using DIP switch #3 you can enable DHCP by settting the iServer’s IP  
address to 0.0.0.0. An iServer with IP address of 0.0.0.0 will request an IP address,  
gateway address, and subnet mask from the DHCP server over the Ethernet  
Figure 3.2 DIP Switch on the Bottom Side of iServer  
3.4 DNS  
DNS, Domain Name System enables individual computers and devices to be recognized  
over a network based on a specific name instead of an IP address. For example, instead  
of having to use http://192.168.1.200 (IP address), you would use only http://eis03ec or  
any eight character name stored as Host Name under the Access Control page in the  
iServer Home Page. The default DNS name for an iServer is "eis" followed by the last  
four digits of the MAC address of that particular iServer.  
1. It is very important to communicate with the network administrator in order to  
understand the DHCP and its existing configurations on the host server,  
before enabling the DHCP on the iServer.  
2. The iServers are shipped with a default static IP address of  
192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.  
3. On Novell networks or Windows 2000 Server where the DCHP is an updated  
function of DNS, this feature may be beneficial since a particular name can  
be assigned eliminating the need for the IP address, as described in  
Section 3.4.  
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. Every computer using  
TCP/IP should have a unique 32-bit address. It 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 a different host ID. For more details about  
the IP address see Appendix B.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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 Telnet program to access  
the iServer using its default IP address, 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 (192.168.1.x, where x can be 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. If 192.168.1.200 is already in use on your network, use an Ethernet crossover  
cable between your computer and the iServer to change the IP address or any other  
settings within the iServer.  
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 an interface between an application running on your  
computer and the network through the TCP/IP protocol.  
There are three default TCP socket port numbers assigned to the iServer:  
1. Port (socket) number 1000 when using HTTPGET program.  
2. Port (socket) number 2000 when trying to access the sensor (probe) connected to  
the port of the iServer to receive ASCII data.  
3. Port (socket) number 2002 when trying to access the iServer itself for Power  
Recycling the iServer remotely. This can be done using Windows standard Telnet  
application.  
Power recycling the iServer can also be done through the iServer’s Web Server (see  
Section 4.2).  
Telnet stands for Telecommunications Network, is a protocol that provides a way for  
users (or clients) to connect to computers (or servers) on a network, whether in the next  
building or across the world.  
Example: C:\>Telnet 192.168.1.200 2002  
You will then get the following screen.

PART 4  
OPERATIONS  
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.  
If DHCP and DNS servers are used, the connection is very simple, no need to find the  
right IP address or watch for network conflicts, these are all done for you by your network  
DHCP and DNS server. All that is left for you to do, is to enable DHCP on the iServer (see  
Section 2.2) and use a straight network cable to connect the iServer to a hub and power  
it up.  
If DHCP is not the preferred method, you can configure your PC’s network connection with  
an IP address of 192.168.1.x that is in the same range as the iServer’s default IP address  
(192.168.1.200) and connect to the iServer using a cross-over network cable between your  
PC’s network port and the iServer. After you’re done with configuring the iServer, you can  
always set your PC back to its original settings.  
On your computer, from the MS-DOS Prompt window type "ping 192.168.1.200” and  
press Enter. If DHCP and DNS servers are used type “ping eisxxxx”, where xxxx are the

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.  
c) Use iCONNECT to assign an IP address to the iServer and access its web pages  
for configuration. You can also use any standard web browser to access the  
iServer’s web pages. Consult with your IT department for obtaining an IP address.  
Place the IP address in this box  
Take the MAC address from the  
label attached to the bottom of  
the iServer and place it in this  
box

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  
255.255.255.0. You can configure your PC’s Network connection with an IP address that  
is in the same range as the iServer’s IP address (192.168.1.x) and connect to the iServer  
using a crossover network cable between your PC and the iServer.  
With this completed, you can go to the DOS-Prompt and ping 192.168.1.200. If you  
receive responses back (Figure 4.1), you can go to a Web browser and type in  
http://192.168.1.200 and it will take you to the iServer’s main web page.

Connection" option depending on the network connections between your  
computer and the iServer product. (Generally, select "Direct Connection" if  
accessing iServers on your local network and select "Use Browser Settings"  
option for access from your internal network to the internet.)  
5. Refresh or restart the webpage.  
4.3.1.3 Browser Proxy Selection  
Accessing iServer units within your internal network  
Usually when the computer and iServer 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 iServer 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 Read Sensor 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. (If the administrator  
requires knowledge of the port # required on the iServer, the value is 2003).  
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 a 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.

default Login password is 12345678. This password can be up to 16 alpha-numeric case-  
sensitive characters. If there is no Login Password assigned (blank box) the iServer will  
not require a password to access and modify iServer Home page menu items.  
Admin (administrator) Password: This allows users to access and modify the "Access  
Control" page. The default password is 00000000. This password can be up to 16 alpha-  
numeric case-sensitive characters. If there is no Administrator Password assigned (blank  
box) the iServer will not require password to access and modify "Access Control" page.  
Host Name: Refer to Section 3.4, DNS.  
MAC Address: This is also called Hardware address or Ethernet address, which is  
assigned to the iServer at production. The MAC (Media Access Control) address is the  
iServer’s unique hardware number and is not changeable.  
IP Address: The IP (Internet Protocol) address is a 32-bit number that identifies each  
sender or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the Ethernet or the Internet.  
The iServer’s default IP address is 192.168.1.200. The iServer’s IP address should be  
changed to fit user’s networking environment. Consult with your IT department for  
obtaining an IP address.  
Gateway Address: A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another  
network. A gateway is often associated with a router, which knows where to direct a given  
packet of data that arrives at the gateway. If the iServer is sending packets to another  
network node that is not on the same network on which the iServer is connected, a  
gateway address needs to be given to the iServer. The gateway address should be the IP  
address of the router connected to the same LAN to which the iServer is connected. The  
iServer’s default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. Consult with your IT department for obtaining  
a gateway address.  
Subnet Mask: It is 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. The iServer’s default subnet mask  
is 255.255.255.0. Consult with your IT department for obtaining a subnet mask.

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 4.11).  
Configuration  
General Description of the Configuration page: There are two general sections “Flash  
Card Memory” and “Server”. Flash Card Memory consists of the following titles: Real  
Time Clock (RTC), Title, Alarm Setup, and Flash Recording. Server consists of Terminal  
Server and Remote Access.  
Title and Flash Recording selections can be editted once by selecting “Activation -  
StartRecord” and after that, no modification will take place unless recording is stopped  
(the reason for this is to be compliant with the data logging rules). The remaining  
parameters can be changed during recording as explained below.  
There are several scenarios depending on the state of the Flash Card and the Real Time  
Clock (RTC):  
#1) RTC is not set and Flash Card is empty.  
All the fields must be updated exactly according to the indicated format, “Adjust RTC  
Only” check box must be left unchecked, “Activation” selection must set to  
StartRecord” and click the “Update” button. Having done this, it is recommended to  
select “Configuration” from “Activation” drop down window, click the “Update” button,  
set the “Activation” to “Status/RTC/Alarm” and click the “Update” button one more  
time to review/verify that the setup took place as it was intended.  
#2) RTC is set, and recording is in progress.  
The only possible setups are to update “Date” and “Time” of the Real Time Clock  
along with checking “Adjust RTC Only” box. Also, alarms can be updated provided  
that “Activation” is set to “Status/RTC/Alarm”. Otherwise, the recording has to be  
stopped by selecting “StopRecord” of the “Activation” drop down window prior to  
modifying the Flash Card setup. An alternative way to stop recording is to push  
Standby Button (refer to Figure 2.3) of the unit.  
#3) RTC is set, recording is stopped, and Flash Card is not empty.  
This means that a pre-recorded Flash Card is installed, and by activating the chart the  
archived data can be viewed (Refer to Figure 4.8). The chart has the following  
selections:  
1 Minute, 1 Day, 1 Week, 1 Month, 1 Year  
In other words, they are the last specified selection e.g. 1 Day means the last day of  
the recorded data. Having done the selection, the “Archives_Enable” button must be  
clicked, which will then change to “Archives_Done” and the data will be retrieved  
accordingly. Also, the corresponding Start and End dates will reflect the respective  
time duration e.g. refer to Figure 4.8 which is the last 1 Day, the dates are:  
02/20/2004 09:42:10  
to 02/21/2004 09:42:10.  
#4) RTC is not set and the Flash Card is not empty.  
This is similiar to item 3) above except that at the power-up the installed Flash Card  
was not empty. Or, the Flash Card Reset Button (refer to Figure 2.3) was pushed.

If the battery is not connected or the voltage is low, the statement “Low Battery” will be  
added to the above statements. You may also see a statement “Archive Busy” if another  
client is busy receiving archive data. In this case, refrain from activating the applet, instead  
keep clicking the Update button and make sure “Activation” is set to “Status/RTC/Alarm”  
until the “Archive Busy” statement is no longer displayed.  
E) Alarm Setup: There are two alarms which can be assigned to temperature or barometric  
pressure.  
Alarm Type: Selection of Temperature (T) or Barometric Pressure (B) and Above  
Setpoint (Hi) or Below Setpoint (Lo):  
T&T:Hi/Lo  
B&B:Hi/Lo  
T&B:Hi/Lo  
T&B:Lo/Hi  
T&B:Hi/Hi  
T&B:Lo/Lo  
No Alarm  
Example: If T&T:Hi/Lo is selected, the temperature will be monitored against these two Hi  
and Lo values. If temperature goes above Hi value, Relay 1 will be energized, and if  
temperature goes below Lo value Relay 2 will be energized.  
Alarm Enabled: Selections of “Latched ” or “Unlatch” are available. If “Unlatch” is selected, the  
relay in the iServer will be turned on (closed) when the temperature and/or barometric pressure  
values fall outside of Setpoint range. When the temperature and/or barometric pressure values  
are back within the range, the relay will be turned off (opened).  
If “Latched” is selected, the relay in the iServer will be turned on (closed) when the temperature  
and/or barometric pressure values fall outside of Setpoint range and will remain on until the user  
turns it off.  
SP1 and SP2: Editable box for Setpoint values. The format is nnn.n, it must be followed  
exactly otherwise the modification will not take place for any modified item in the Alarm Setup.

F) Flash Recording  
Title: 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 for  
each type of barometric pressure unit hPa, inHg or mmHg..  
LCD/PWR: The selections are “ON ”, “OFF ”, and “UPS”. Selecting “OFF” will cause the  
LCD to turn off during a power outage, provided the battery is connected. The current  
consumption is about 1.5mA or 3mA depending on “OFF ” or “ON ” selection respectively.  
If recording is “ON “, depending on the recording interval, the LCD will be updated every  
10 seconds or 1 minute. Therefore, when the LCD is set to “ON ”, it could take some time  
before the LCD is turned on. If recording is not “ON “, the LCD will be updated every 10  
seconds.  
Selecting “UPS” puts the iServer into full operational mode when it’s running on the battery  
(S5 jumper needs to be installed, see Section 2.4 and 2.7). This means that in case of  
power outage, sensing, recording, LCD display, and network communication capabilities of  
the iServer will all operate on the battery. Due to heavy power consumption the battery will not  
last more than an hour.  
Type: The selections are: “Limited”, “Wrap”, or “Nonwrap”.  
Limited: You must define the Start Date and Time, and End Date and Time in which  
you need the recording to be done.  
Wrap: You only need to define the Start Date and Time. The iServer will record data  
until the Flash is full, then the iServer will continue to record and overwrite the existing  
data.  
Nonwrap: You only need to define the Start Date and Time. The iServer will record  
data until the Flash is full, then the iServer will stop recording.  
Interval: The recording interval at which the temperature or barometric pressure is being  
stored into the Flash Card. The selections are “10 seconds“ and “1 minute“.  
Activation: The selections are “Status/RTC/Alarm”, “StartRecord ”, “Configuration”, and  
StopRecord ”. Refer to previous scenarios #1 and #2 at the beginning of this Section  
4.3.5 for more details.  
Status/RTC/Alarm: Select Configuration” and “Status/RTC/Alarm”, each followed by  
clicking the Update button to retrieve the latest recording settings. By selecting  
Status/RTC/Alarm” only, followed by clicking the “Update” button the iServer will report  
back all the settings, but the “Recording” settings.  
StartRecord: Select to initiate a recording.  
Configuration: Select to retrieve the latest recording settings, followed by  
Status/RTC/Alarm” option.  
StopRecord: Select to stop an ongoing recording.  
Reset: Selecting this option will reset the flash memory, LCD, recording sections, and  
the Ethernet connection to a fresh start. It is suggested to select “Reset ” followed by  
clicking the “Update” button if you experience recording problems.  
Start Date, Time: Starting date and time for recording. The format is mm/dd/yyyy and  
hh:mm:ss, it must be followed exactly. Entry is required for all Types of Flash Recording.  
End Date, Time: Ending date and time for recording. The format is mm/dd/yyyy and  
hh:mm:ss, it must be followed exactly. Entry is required for Limited Type of Flash  
Recording only.  
NOTE 1: While the recording is in progress, the first letter of the measurement unit (“h”P, i”Hg or  
“m”Hg), located on the LCD screen blinks continuously.

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. However, for  
large amounts of data (1 Month or 1 Year) it may take 4 to 8 minutes to download the  
data. In Archives_Enabled “ mode, charting remains static, while data download is taking  
place.  
NOTE 3: The number of barometric pressure/temperature values that can be recorded depends  
on the memory flash capacity (2 Mbytes, 4 Mbytes or 8 Mbytes) and number of barometric  
pressure / temperature values (540,540, 1,081,212 and 2,162,556). The time to fill the  
memory flash depends on the recording interval time, e.g. 1 minute interval for 4 Mbytes is  
1,081,212 minutes or 750 days. If the flash is busy sending data to the applet to chart the archive,  
the iServer will refuse to initiate a call to provide archived data to the second applet until it has  
finished with the first one.  
NOTE 4: If there is a loss of power while recording the data, the number of data logged can  
not be stored, therefore having restored the power the logged data will be read from Flash  
Memory and the number of recorded data will be stored for future use. During this process  
the LCD will display “Reading Flash”, and if you connect through a web browser the  
Configuration page will display “Wait Reading Flash”.  
NOTE 5: After you “StartRecord” the flash recording followed by clicking the “Update”  
button, if you then need to make any changes in the Flash Recording section you must  
either select “StopRecord” followed by clicking the “Update” button or push the reset button  
on the side of the iServer and reconfigure the Flash Recording section again.  
NOTE 6: If you stop the recording prematurely, when you download the data, you will lose  
the last 256 bytes of the data that was left in the buffer and was not transferred into the flash  
card. Therefore, we strongly suggest downloading the data while the recording is still on and then  
stop the recording if desired.  
G) Terminal Server  
TCP/UDP*: The iServer supports TCP and UDP protocols (default is TCP). If UDP is  
selected, it can be configured either for Broadcast UDP or Directed UDP. In case of  
Broadcast UDP, the iServer will transmit the data to every node on the network. This can  
be accomplished if the Remote IP Address is set to 255.255.255.255.  
The Broadcast UDP is a practical solution when one iServer needs to communicate with  
multiple nodes over the network. In the case of directed UDP, the iServer will transmit the  
data to a specific node on the network. This can be accomplished if the Remote IP  
Address is set to the IP address of that specific node.  
Server Type: Continuous mode sends the temperature and barometric pressure to the  
Ethernet every two seconds. It is mainly used to send readings to a remote display.  
Command mode needs a command to query the iServer to send the reponse back to  
querying device.  
In order to change from one type to another, make sure to close any TCP  
connections to the sensor. The unit could get locked up if changing the type while  
the TCP socket is still open to the sensor. Reseting the power will correct the  
problem.  
Number of Connections: The range is from 0 to 5. If 0 is selected, the Terminal Server  
feature is disabled. This means that no network connection can be made to the iServer’s  
sensor. If 1 is selected, only one network connection can be made to the sensor. Any  
number more than 1 would allow that number of network hosts to read from the iServer  
simultaneously (default is 5).  
24  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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.  
Terminal Server usually describes a device that exchanges data between  
Ethernet/TCPIP networks and RS-232/RS-485 systems. With this iServer,  
the data is obtained digitally from the sensor (irrelevant to RS-232 or RS-485  
interface) and can be accessed from anywhere on the network.  
A computer program, such as NEWPORT’s Mail Notifier, OPC Server, iLOG,  
iFLASH or httpget can send TCP requests and obtain readings using the  
Terminal Server feature.  
H) Remote Access  
Remote IP Address: iServer can establish a connection to a remote device (e.g. an  
iLD Remote Display with an Ethernet iServer embedded board) with this IP.  
Remote Port: (default 2000) the remote port number for the connection. Ports 1000  
(used for HTTPget, refer to Section 4.5), 2002, 2003, and 2004 are reserved for  
internal use.  
Remote Access:** Remote Access can be enabled and disabled. If enabled, the  
iServer can send its data to a remote node on the same network (the “Remote IP  
address” and “Remote Port” must be entered).  
*TCP/UDP: when UDP mode is selected, Remote Access should be disabled  
and Remote IP and Port are the UDP remote listening IP and Port. If the  
Remote IP is set to 255.255.255.255, the UDP packet becomes a  
broadcasting packet which will allow any device listening to the Remote port  
to receive the packet.  
**If Remote Access is enabled, Terminal Server is automatically disabled.

Below are some definitions of terms used in the Sensor Parameters page.  
Device Name: is a text field and can take up to 16 alphanumeric characters, it shows on  
the “Configuration” and the “Read Sensor” page.  
Remote Display Format: Remote display format is used for Terminal Server continuous  
mode.  
P0000.0mbar in barometric pressure setting, displays P and 0000.0mbar is the  
barometric pressure value displayed.  
Example: if the barometric pressure is 1014.4, then P1014.4mbar will be seen in the  
remote display. If no format is specified (blank), there is no reading sent out. If  
temperature is 76.25 and 00.0F is used in temperature setting, the remote site will show  
76.2F.  
This format setup is originally based on iLD Remote Display, which has four or six LEDs.  
For six LEDs, T00.00F format, and for four LEDs, 00.0F formats are appropriate.  
Remote End Char: The default value is 0D (Hex representation of <CR>). This means  
that the iServer sends <CR> after each temperature and barometric pressure value.  
This will be done only in Continuous mode.  
Tera Term - 192.168.1.200 VT

4.4 Telnet 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. Refer to Figure 3.3  
Send remote reset: Telnet port 2002 will bring a terminal for admin password. After typing  
the password and following with the end character, the message Admin. Login  
Successful will be showed on the terminal. Now type "reset" following with return  
character to reset the iServer. If no character is received within 20 seconds, the terminal  
will be closed automatically.  
Initiating the archive chart while Telnet is active will halt Telnet until the archive  
chart is done.  
4.5 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" (This is positioned under the heading of  
Terminal Server). Also the Number of Connections may need to be set to "0" to enable  
Port 1000 (Port 1000 is for access in a non-standard terminal mode). To use Port 2000  
access (where "2000" is the value stored in "Port"), the Number of Connections should  
be set to "2" for general usage. The value of 2 can later be changed to a value from 1 to  
5 depending on needs for secure access or fault tolerance.  
Whenever Terminal Server service (using Port 2000 by default) is required, the Number  
of Connections must be set to a value from 1 to 5. The Terminal Server mode is the  
recommended mode for the most reliable connection when operating with NEWPORT  
software or with other programs supporting TCPIP communications. The Port 1000  
access can be used with NEWPORT software and may be needed with some iServer  
products when you need to view readings from the web page while simultaneously  
collecting data through TCPIP communications.

4.5.1 HTTPGET using Port 1000  
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 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.  
The Httpget.exe file is used to setup and read information from the iServer. This file will  
be automatically installed when you install the MailNotifier software available on our  
website and CD.  
Notes on using Httpget :  
The Httpget.exe program is installed to the windows directory (usually c:\winnt or  
c:\windows) when installing the Mail Notifier software.

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 192.168.1.200 00-03-34-00-00-06-b6  
Then use the following command to assign new IP to the device:  
Httpget –r –S "00000000" 192.168.1.200:1  
where:  
00000000” is admin. password. If the password is wrong, the unit will ignore the new IP.  
If the new IP is taken, you will get the message " New IP is Assigned" after the httpget  
command. The device will reset automatically.  
192.168.1.200” is an example of an IP addresss. It is replaced with an IP address  
suitable for your network  
00-03-34-00-00-06-b6” is replaced with your iServer product MAC address.

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). 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 © Use this command to view all ARP cache entries.  
arp –a plus IP address © Use this command to view ARP cache entries associated  
with one particular interface on a network with multiple adapters.  
arp –g © Same as arp –a.  
arp –N © Use this command to display ARP entries for specific network interface.  
arp – s plus IP address plus Physical address © Use this command to manually add  
a permanent static entry to the ARP cache.  
arp –d © 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.

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. Users can  
be notified automatically of alarm conditions monitored via internet connections  
throughout the world. By use of the email forwarding of alarm conditions, alarm  
conditions can be monitored on a network isolated from the internet and forwarded to  
connections on the Internet.  
The Mail Notifier utility operates under Windows 98, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP in conjunction  
with existing email that supports the MAPI messaging interface. If MS Outlook has been  
loaded, the MAPI support should be available.  
4.8.1 Installation  
The Mail Notifier must be loaded on a computer running Microsoft Windows (versions  
specified earlier) using an email program that provides MAPI access. Network access  
must be available between this computer and the iServer. Network access must also be  
available from this computer to the appropriate email server and from the email server to  
the recipient’s email server.

Entering a recipient for the email  
Specifying connection details to MAPI services.  
Defining alarms for devices, and selecting how and when the email will be active.  
Figure 4.17 iServer Mail Notifier Profile Setup  
The “Send To” tab contains a field to specify an email address to which alarm  
notifications will be sent (i.e. the recipient). Only one entry is permitted, in the address  
field. Additional addresses can be placed into “More Addresses” list.  
Email Connection (MAPI Access)  
The following instructions work with some versions of Microsoft Outlook. Note though  
that some email systems may prevent the use of Mail Notifier due to security constraints.  
The simplest way to obtain a connection the the Email services is as follows:  
1. Configure the Mail Notifier to connect to the email by displaying a Login Box. This  
option is found by selecting View, Options from the Mail Notifier's menubar. Select  
the "Email Setup" tab, mark the checkbox for "Use Login Box"  
2. After Mail Notifier is configured to use the login box, the Mail Notifier can be started  
without user intervention if your MS Outlook program is running beforehand.  
Otherwise, the Mail Notifier will display a Login Box that should display the  
necessary User Profile.

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.  
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.

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 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

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. 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.
