Omega Engineering i.BTX-M Marine Instruments User Manual


 
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.
