Page 15: What Is The A850 Telemetry Gateway
What is the A850 Telemetry Gateway? The A850 Telemetry Gateway is a low-power, battery-backed device that acts as an interface between an Adcon Telemetry Net- work and one or more hosts running addVANTAGE or similar data acquisition software. The capabilities of the A850 allow to manage up to 1000 Adcon RTUs (Remote Telemetry Units), depending on the version used.
Page 16 CHAPTER 1 Introduction The forwarding of the data from the A850 to the data assessment PC is achieved either through • Ethernet or • Telephone Modem. For data communication from and to an A850, private (LAN, VPN) or public means for data communications (e.g. the Internet) can be used.
Page 17 This manual is valid only for release 1.0 of the Gateway's firmware. You can verify that you have the appropriate firmware by logging onto the web page of the A850 via your internet browser. The following should be displayed on the bottom of the web page of the A850: Release 1.0, ©...

Page 220 CHAPTER 4 Using the Gateway Note: Menu items “Undo” or “Redo”: see “Pop-up Context Menu” in chapter 2. Double-clicking the RTU group in the "Table view" allows you to check the selected RTU group. By appropriate selection of a RTU group, you enter a “RTU group” detail window where user’s access rights are defined as follows: The system administrator (user “root”) and all administrator level (aka “admin”) users can grant access rights for every RTU group.
Page 221 CHAPTER 4 RTU Network Configuration Figure 247. RTU Group Window While the users “root” and “admin” have access to all tables of the RTU network, the access to the RTUs, their routes and their sensors for all “ordinary” users is limited. All RTU groups, RTUs, routes and sensors for which a user has no read access rights granted will be hidden for this user.

Page 354 CHAPTER 6 Appendix We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library.
Page 355 CHAPTER 6 License texts free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software.
Page 356 CHAPTER 6 Appendix "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.
Page 357 CHAPTER 6 License texts (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.

If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not...
Page 359 CHAPTER 6 License texts under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications. You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License.
Page 360 CHAPTER 6 Appendix For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that...
