2.6 Relay and I/O Wiring Connections To access the Relay and I/O Connectors you must remove the cover, refer to Section 2.4. It is recommended that you ground your unit by connecting a wire to the Ground/Return position of the relay connector or by wrapping a wire around the case’s bottom screw.
PART 3 NeTWoRk coNFIGURATIoN 3.1 Network Protocols The iServer can be connected to an Ethernet network communicating through standard IP protocols including TCP, UDP, SNMP, SMTP, ARP, HTTP (WEB access), DNS, DHCP, ICMP, SNTP, and Telnet. 3.2 Ethernet (MAC) Address MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique hardware number for Ethernet devices like computers, network switches, print servers, etc.
3.3 DHCP DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, enables computers and network devices to receive their IP configurations from a DHCP server. If DHCP is enabled on your iServer, as soon as the iServer that is connected to the network is powered on, there will be an exchange of information between the iServer and the DHCP server.
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 a TCP/IP interface between an application software on a computer and a device on the network or between two devices on the network. There are two default TCP port (socket) numbers assigned to the iServer: 1) Port 2000: Once a TCP connection is made to the iServer using port 2000 or any port number that is configured on the iServer for Local Port (see Network menu,...
4.1.2 ARP HTTPget Commands (Method 2) (continued) The above IP address of 128.100.101.76 is an example to show how these commands work.

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.
Page 64
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 •...
Appendix c ARP commands 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).
Appendix d 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.
Appendix F iLog error messages Table F-1 iLog Error Messages Error # Description Note -8003 User stopped logging readings. -10005 Failed to find the iServer. Ethernet cable is disconnected, iServer is powered off, connections across the firewall require longer “connection to socket time out” setting.
