NOTES, WARNINGS and CAUTIONS Information that is especially important to note is identified by the following labels: • NOTE • WARNING or CAUTION • IMPORTANT • TIP NOTE: Provides you with information that is important to successfully setup and use the iServer. CAUTION: Tells you about the risk of electrical shock.
PART 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Safety and EMC Considerations Refer to the CE Approvals Section. EMC Considerations • Whenever EMC is an issue, always use shielded cables. • Never run signal and power wires in the same conduit. • Use twisted-pair wires for signal connections. •...
Award-winning Technology. The iServer is simple to install and use, and features award winning iServer technology that requires no special software except a Web browser. The iServer connects to an Ethernet Network with a standard RJ45 connector and sends data in standard TCP/IP packets. It is easily configured with a simple menu using a Web browser and can be password protected.

2.4 Disassembly Instruction You may need to open the unit for one of the following reasons: • To wire relay connector. (Refer to Figure 2.7) • To connect or replace the battery. • To change S5 jumper. In the absence of AC power, and if S5 is installed, the LCD Backlight and iServer Board will be on and running on the battery power.
2.5 Network Communication Interfaces 2.5.1 10Base-T RJ-45 Pinout Name Description The 10BASE-T Ethernet network + Transmit Data (RJ-45) system is used in the iServer - Transmit Data for network connectivity. The 10 Mbps + Receive Data twisted-pair Ethernet system operates Not Connected over two pairs of wires.
PART 3 NETWORK CONFIGURATION 3.1 Network Protocols The iServer can be connected to the network using standard TCP/IP protocols. It also supports ARP, HTTP (WEB server), DHCP, DNS and Telnet protocols. 3.2 Ethernet (MAC) Address MAC (Media Access Control) address is your computer's unique hardware number. When you're connected to the LAN from your computer, a correspondence table relates your IP address to your computer's physical (MAC) address.
3.3 DHCP DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol enables individual computers or devices to extract their IP configurations from a server (DHCP server). If the DHCP is enabled on your iServer, as soon as the iServer is connected to the network, there is an exchange of information between DHCP server and the iServer.
3.5 IP Address Every active device connected to the TCP/IP network must have a unique IP address. This IP address is used to build a connection to the iServer. Every computer using TCP/IP should have a unique 32-bit address. It is divided into two portions, the network ID and the host ID.
This iServer can be used and configured in several ways, depending on user’s preference and network setup. It can be configured using a Web browser, like Netscape or Internet Explorer. It can also be configured using NEWPORT’s iCONNECT Configuration Software.
4.1 iCONNECT Software The iServer may also be assigned an IP Address by using the iCONNECT software. Download the iCONNECT software from the website listed in this manual. Install iCONNECT software on a networked PC. This software is compatible with Windows 95, NT, 2000, and XP.
4.2 Setting a New IP Address over the Network Besides using the iCONNECT software, you may use the iServer’s default IP address to access it and assign a new IP address to it. The iServer is shipped with a default IP address of 128.100.101.254 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0.
4.3 Setup and Operation Using a Web Browser • Start your web browser. • In the URL field, type http://eisxxxx using the last four-digits from the MAC address label located on the device if DHCP and DNS are used. If a static IP address is used, then simply type http://x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the iServer’s IP address.
4.3.1 Read Sensor Read Sensor • Click on . In a few seconds the following page (Figure 4.7) will appear with all default values of 100.00. Then the actual readings of Temperature, Humidity and Dewpoint will display. • This page automatically updates the Temperature, Humidity, and Dew Point values. •...
4.3.1.2 Java Runtime Environment 1.5 (5.0) Setup instructions 1. Go to your computer's Control Panel. Open the Java Plug-in 2. Click on "Settings" & "View Applets" in the "General" tab. 3. Select the "Settings" button on the General Tab Un-check the "Enable Caching" box. Then close dialog box to show the General Tab again 4.
4.3.2 Adjustable Chart Chart • Click on , the following page (Figure 4.8) should appear. The Java™ Applet graph displays Temperature and Humidity and can be charted across the full span (0-70ºC, and 0-100% RH) or within any narrow range (such as 20-30ºC). The time-base can display one minute, one hour, one day, one week, one month or one year.
4.3.3 Retrieving Data from Flash To retrieve and graph the data that is stored in the Flash Memory, you have two options: OPTION 1: You can use the iServer’s WEB interface to chart the data stored in the flash memory. Click on the “Chart”...
4.3.4 Access Control This section describes the "Access Control" page of the iServers’s Web interface. This page allows the users to set up the network and security parameters of the iServer. To get into the Access Control page, the user will be prompted with an Admin Password. The default Admin password is 00000000 and is changeable, if desired.
4.3.5 Configuration Setting up the Flash Memory Card can be done in the Configuration/Device Setup Menu. From the Home Page click on to get to the menu (see Figure 4.11). Configuration General Description of the Configuration/Device Setup Menu: There are two general sections “Flash Card Memory”...

4.5.1 HTTPGET using Port 1000 You can setup and read the information from the iServer by using the HTTPGET program. The following program can be used to read data from the embedded server firmware by using TCP port 1000. The command string is sent to this TCP port, then the response can be read back from the same socket.
4.5.2 HTTPGET and ARP to setup Device IP Address Use the iCONNECT software, which may be downloaded from our website, to do these IP changes whenever possible. Use ARP first to assign the mac address to a static IP address in computer arp table by this command: apr –s 128.100.101.254 00-03-34-00-00-06-b6 Then use the following command to assign new IP to the device:...
4.6 ARP Protocol 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).
4.7 Mail Notifier Software The Mail Notifier Software can be used only with NEWPORT Electronics instruments. For complete information of how to use the Mail Notifier software, click on the Help menu of the main window. The Mail Notifier software generates email notifications for alarm conditions of the devices with embedded iServer board or connected via the stand alone iServer units, attached to measurement devices with RS232/485.
4.7.2 Program Options Setup and Configuration Complete program setup requires: • Entering a recipient for the email • Specifying connection details to MAPI services. • Defining alarms for devices, and selecting how and when the email will be active.

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. In an Ethernet local area network, however, addresses for attached devices are 48-bits long.
Page 41
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 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.
