Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Embedded Data Systems OW-SERVER-ENET-2. The OW- SERVER-ENET-2 provides an easy and simple method for the continuous monitoring of 1-Wire ® sensors that you might install in such places as computer server rooms or manufacturing facili- ties.
OW-SERVER- ENET-2. Some things to keep in mind: The OW-SERVER-ENET-2 has an internal flash drive that may be used to set it to a fixed IP address. See • the section Configuration/USB for more information. See section Additional Resources or EDSPRODUCTS.COM...
DHCP server turned off, as shown below. See the section Configuration/USB below. Each OW-SERVER-ENET-2 includes an integrated Web-server that provides access to moni- tored data from any Internet connected device such as a Web browser on your PC, smartphone, or even an iPad ®...
OW-SERVER- ENET-2 in order to talk to the device for the first time. Only when the OW-SERVER-ENET-2 is in the same address space as your other computers can you access it using a eb browser.

CONFIGURATION Any configuration of your OW-SERVER-ENET-2 (with the exception of SNMP Traps) can be carried out through the integrated Web application and, in some cases, the USB port. The on- board, Web based tools provide a method to configure both the unit itself as well as any at- tached supported 1-Wire devices.

ER2. You can change the name but it is limited to 16 UPPERCASE characters. This field is also included in the XML file. • Enable DHCP—check this box to automatically enable the OW-SERVER-ENET-2 to re- ceive an IP address and other network configuration information (such as gateway and subnet mask) from a DHCP provider on your network.
1-Wire devices connected to the system. It is ideal for solu- tions developers looking to integrate the OW-SERVER-ENET-2 with 1-Wire devices not current- ly supported at a high level or for legacy applications. For specific 1-Wire commands see Low Level 1-Wire Communication Protocol in Appendix A.
The power / USB port may be used to configure the network settings via the internal flash drive. Using a cable with a micro USB connector, simply plug the OW-SERVER-ENET-2 into a USB port of a computer and read the file CONFIG.TXT on the flash drive.
• Devices connected—the number of 1-Wire devices connected to the OW-SERVER- ENET-2 • Loop time—the time, in seconds, it takes for the OW-SERVER-ENET-2 to cycle through polling all of the devices and receive a response. As more devices are added, each indi- vidual device gets read less frequently since only a single device can be read at a time.

Value—the primary value of the sensor on the connected device During normal operation the OW-SERVER-ENET-2 automatically scans the 1-Wire bus in the following order: • Searches for devices—if new devices are found, they are added to the end of the de- vice list •...

Data is not stored - if you leave the Web page, the graph will be lost. You can open multiple Web pages to view additional information, however each additional Web page browser will slow the response from the OW-SERVER-ENET-2.

• Data activity—this light will flash green every time the browser receives a data push of new values from the OW-SERVER-ENET-2. This is useful to know that the data feed is alive, even if the values are not changing.

INTEGRATION The OW-SERVER-ENET-2 provides a powerful set of tools to enable developers and network administrators the ability to integrate the device (and data from connected 1-Wire devices) with existing management and/or monitoring systems. The following are the network services sup- ported by OW-SERVER-ENET-2, accessible via TCP/IP: •...

Base file); Using an SNMP application, network administrators can monitor and inter- act with equipment throughout the network. The OW-SERVER-ENET-2-MIB file can be loaded into your SNMP program, making it available for management and machine-to-machine communication. This file is available from the OW-SERVER-ENET-2 product page under the DOWNLOADS tab.

Windows computer) or “Telnet” in a terminal window of a Mac or Linux computer. • Once the Telnet program has opened, type “open {IP address}” where {IP address} rep- resents the IP address of your OW-SERVER-ENET-2 (e.g., open 192.168.1.14). This will open a connection between your Telnet program and the OW-SERVER-ENET-2.

The feature also enables the reading of 1-Wire devices not natively supported by the OW-SERVER-ENET-2. When a TCP connection is made, the OW-SERVER-ENET-2 stops polling 1-Wire devices and waits for commands over the TCP connection. If 30 seconds elapse without any commands, the OW-SERVER-ENET-2 closes the TCP connection and resumes normal polling of 1-Wire devic- es.
EDS. If EDS has provided you new firmware and support files, you can upload it to your OW- SERVER-ENET-2 via the WEB using the following procedure: 1) Update the firmware files: • Open the Web page associated with your OW-SERVER-ENET-2 and select the Net- work menu found under System Configuration.

Details Page found under the Advanced menu. 2) Update the Support files: • Open the Web page associated with your OW-SERVER-ENET-2 and select Network found under System Configuration tab. • Scroll to the paragraph near the bottom of the page, beginning with "To upload new firmware support data, CLICK HERE".
To reset the OW-SERVER-ENET-2 to factory defaults: 1. Be certain power has been removed from the OW-SERVER-ENET-2 2. Remove the lid of the OW-SERVER-ENET-2 by unscrewing the four corner screws 3. Once lid is removed, with connector panel positioned towards you, locate the two plated drill holes in the upper center of the PC board with the word “RESET”...
The OW-SERVER-ENET-2 is fitted with a USB micro-B receptacle suitable for connection to any 5 Volt DC power supply having a USB micro-B plug. The OW-SERVER-ENET-2 has a typi- cal current draw of 245ma with no devices connected; however a power supply with at least 400ma capacity is required for correct operation.
Each port is a standard 6-Wire RJ12 jack, pinned for use with 1-Wire devices as follows: The OW-SERVER-ENET-2 supports up to 1000 feet of cabling and 24 1-Wire devices on a CAT-5 twisted pair net. ESD protection is provided on the 1-Wire bus.
Weight EDS Appliance Scanner Software In some instances, it may not be easy to obtain the IP address of an OW-SERVER-ENET-2 via DHCP router tables. Therefore, EDS offers a Windows application that will utilize the UDP communication method available on any OW-SERVER-ENET-2 to retrieve the IP address of any OW-SERVER-ENET-2 connected to the network.

COMMUNICATION The OW-SERVER-ENET-2 communicates with a client using a TCP socket. The OW-SERVER- ENET-2 maintains the server side, listening on the programmed port. Only 1 socket is support- ed. If desired, the feature can be disabled via programming. When first connecting, the OW server will send a "?" when commands may be sent.
