Local Area Network Setup; Links To Remote Networks; Data Logging And Transfer - Siemens SIREC D200 Manual

Local Area Network setup

This is a group of computers and/or associated devices e.g SIEMENS devices, that share
a common communications line and typically share the resources of a single processor or
server within a local geographical area (e.g. within an office).

Links to Remote Networks

Communications is not just limited to local networks. Devices and databases on remote net-
works can be accessed using the SIREC D - Server software via remote comms servers
and remote database servers. Remote servers means it is not directly connected to your PC.

systems having access to each others remote servers.
SIREC D - Server 1 can access Comms Server 2 and Database Server 2 and all the de-
vices within the databases on those servers. Similarly SIREC D - Server 2 can access the
devices and databases held on Database 1, and Comms Server 1.

Data Logging and Transfer

Using the SIREC D - Server software, the device's details are added on to a database
in SIREC D - Server . Once the device has been configured and enabled, data can be
retrieved. Data is logged to the internal memory. This data can be exported to SIREC D
- Server via:
