W&T Introduction The W&T Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph includes all the functions in one box for measuring, storing and displaying your temperature and humidity data. Numerous alarm functions are also available which can be custom incorporated into your own applications or into existing systems. This manual contains all the information you need to install, configure and operate the Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph.
W&T 1 Quick-Start/Commissioning Just a few steps are required to start up your W&T Web-Thermo- Hygrobarograph and to make it visible in your network. 1.1 Connecting the power supply 57612 Connect the AC adaptor provided to the terminal provided for the 12-24V AC/DC operating power.
W&T As an alternative to PoE power supply, the Web-Thermo- Hygrobarograph PoE can also be powered by an external power supply connected to the screw terminals on the underside of the housing. DC voltage of any polarity as well as AC voltage may be used.
W&T 1.5 Ethernet connection The Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph incorporates an IEEE 802.3- compatible network interface on a shielded RJ45 connector. The pin assignments correspond to an MDI port, so that the connection to the hub or switch is accomplished using a 1:1 shielded patch cable.
W&T 1.5 Assigning the IP address using „WuTility“ Once the hardware has been connected to the supply voltage as described above, you must assign the IP address needed for operation in a TCP/IP network. You can obtain the correct value for this parameter from your system administrator.
Page 10
W&T Click on the „IP address“ symbol: In the resulting window enter the desired network parameters for the device and confirm by clicking on „Continue“. The DHCP client of the Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph can be activated in the following window. Clicking on the Continue button assigns the network parameters to the Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph.
W&T 1.6 IP assignment using DHCP protocol Many networks use DHCY (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) or its predecessor BOOTP described in the following section for centralized, dynamic assignment of network parameters. By default DHCP protocol is activated, so that in network environments with dynamic IP assignment you only need to connect the Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph to the network.
W&T In the following dialog window deactivate the options BOOTP and DHCP. Click on Next to send the new configuration data to the Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph. • Serial interface As part of serial IP assignment you can specify the following options for deactivating/activating the DHCP and BOOTP protocols directly following the address string: -0 r Deactivates DHCP and BOOTP -1 r Activates BOOTP/RARP...
W&T 1.6.3 Lease time The lease time determined and sent by the DHCP server specifies how long the IP address will remain in use. After half the lease time has expired the Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph attempts to extend the time for the assigning DHCP server and to update the address.
W&T 1.6.4 Reserved IP addresses The Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph provides services which can make use of other clients in the network as needed. To open a connection they of course need the current IP address of the Web-Thermo-Hygrobarograph, so that in these applications it makes sense to reserve a particular IP address for the Web-Ther- mo-Hygrobarograph on the DHCP server.
W&T 1.7 Assigning the basic network parameters Select the menu item „Config“ to the left in the configuration tree. You are now prompted to enter a password. As shipped, the unit does not require a password, so that you can sinmply click on the Login button without entering a password.

W&T 3.12 Syslog messages incl. alarm IP Addr: The IP address you want to send the message to. Port: On this port the receiver must have a Syslog service installed which can pick up the incoming connections. (Stan- dard: 514) Syslog Text: The text corresponds to the same specifications as apply to the other message types.
W&T 3.13 ASCII command strings via TCP Port 80 3.13.1 HTTP When queried by means of an HTTP-Get command, the device can also send a header with IP address and device name in addition to the temperature. To do this, check the appropriate box. Only the temperature is sent if this function is deactivated.
W&T 3.14 ASCII command strings via UDP In addition to TCP/IP comands, the device can also reply to UDP datagrams. For this you must set the port you want the device to „listen“ to. The default setting is 42279. The enable function activates UDP.
W&T 3.15 UP-/Download In the download area you can download the XML configuration as well as the three user pages (home.htm, user.htm, log.htm) for further processing. With XML-Download you can read out the settings of the Web- Thermo-Hygrograph and make any modifications, and XML Upload allows you to store the settings again in the device.
Page 61
W&T The individual options and parameters correspond to the configuration items in the browser menu. Please note, especially in the case of mass updates and configurations, that the IP address stored in the XML file is also sent, which only needs has to be adapted. In addition, you can exchange the user pages (user.htm, home.htm, log.htm) in the Upload area.
W&T 4 Single querying of temperatures 4.1 Querying temperature via TCP/IP It is possible to use a socket connection to manually query the current temperature values in CSV (comma-delineated data). This function is also used to query the individual data without the Web interface.
W&T When using multiple devices, it may be practical f o r b r o a d c a s t t r a n s m i s s i o n s t o i n c l u d e t h e name and IP address of the device as well.
Page 64
W&T If you want to make changes in the device via SNMP (IP address, subnet mask, etc.) you must first start a session on the device using your SNMP manager. If you have assigned an administrator password, you must enter it in your manager software as a „community string“! Entering the administrator passwortd in the variable wtWebGraphThermoBaroSessCntrlPassword opens a session.
Page 65
W&T If no SNMP communication takes place over a period of 5 minutes during an open session, the device unilaterally ends the session and all changes are cancelled. Opening an SNMP session has priority over an HTTP login. This means: A user with Config or Administrator rights loses his browser access as soon as an SNMP session is opened.
W&T 5 Placing the temperature into your own web page It is possible to use an implemented Java applet to integrate the temperature on your own Web page. The applet is refreshed every 60s. An example for this applet is already in the device: http://172.0.0.10/app.htm To incorporate the applet for temperature monitoring into the HTML page, the following HTMP tag must be inserted at the...
Page 67
W&T g i l The sensor is selected using the parameter <Param Name="Sensor" VALUE="1"> The unit (for example for the humidity sensor) is specified by the parameter <Param Name="unit" VALUE="% rel."> The parameter is a string type. If it is not specified, a „C“ is automatically set.
Page 68
W&T To output an error message when there are problems opening a connection, use the parameter <Param Name="showerrors" VALUE="on"> or „off“ to turn this on or off. The default value is „off“. Once all the parameters are defined, you must close the HTMP tag with </Applet>.
Page 69
W&T The following reading function is used for this: function sensorChanged( iDevice, iSensor, iVal ) { Program code run when there is a change on the inputs The above function is invoked by the applet when a temperature change on the sensors is detected. iDevice specifies for which Web-Thermograph a value changed.
