  • Page 7: Introduction

    The Linux operative system guarantees maximum efficiency and stability support for this kind of product. All future software releases developed by Dixell have the possibility to be downloaded through the XWEB server connection. The hardware inside the unit, based on high performance electronic boards, does not need any maintenance.

  • Page 8: Caution: Read This Page Carefully To Ensure Safe Operation

    If necessary, inside the CDROM you will find the Java Virtual Machine program distributed by Sun Microsystems. Dixell S.p.a.. is not responsible for any kind of damage occurring after the loading of the Java Virtual Machine program into the user‟s PC.

  • Page 9: General Information

    The Web Pages with all the information are contained into the server itself; Linux operative system ensures maximum efficiency and security. The server reads logs and checks the data coming from the Dixell instruments connected to a RS485 line. The communication protocol is the Modbus-RTU. The XWEB is capable of recognising also most of the Modbus- Rtu compatible instruments not manufactured by Dixell.

  • Page 10: Installation

    2.1.1 CHECK THE RS485 BEFORE STARTING To be connected to the serial line all the Dixell Modbus instruments must be provided with direct RS485 terminals or the “TTL”-RS485 interface (XJRS485 or XJ485). Check the controller‟s manual for more information.

    “Advanced” section. User must check “Force Device On status”. Remember to stop-start acquisition after this operation.  To use non Dixell, but modBus compatible controllers (such as Energy Analyzer by Carlo Gavazzi) follow this instructions: a) Go to “Devices” and choose a controller.

    dIXEL 2.2.3 THIRD PART SOFTWARE AND XWEB As general rule please remember that software such as antivirus programs, firewall programs, toolbars (Yahoo and Google bar) may prevent you from connecting properly to XWEB. We strongly suggest to check these softwares setup and add the IP address of XWEB to the trusted site list of your software. As far as firewall is concerned, add port 80 and port 22 to the allowed ports forwarding, of course all the TCP/IP requests coming from the IP address of XWEB must be allowed.

  • Page 21: Network

    PRIMARY/SECONDARY DNS: In the internet world you can reach a web server using its name, for example www.dixell.com, digiting the name into your web-browser address bar. Due to the protocol used to guarantee performance and security, all names are converted into IP numbers. This operation is made by a DNS server.

  • Page 22: Modem

    In the first case the unit itself can send a fax, while in the second case you may need to setup a dial-up connection (next step). Please remember that only modems approved by Dixell can be used.

  • Page 23: E-Mail Configuration

    To send e-mail you need a valid SMTP server. Usually your LAN administrator will provide you a server name, for example dixell.com (another format widely used is mail.your-company-name.com) or even the IP address, then a valid e-mail address is needed. We strongly suggest you to create a new e-mail account to use with XWEB.
