10 Appendix C: The Console Program
This manual describes how to communicate with one SPM-200 using a web browser. If you only have one or
a few SPM-200s it is not hard to look at them one at a time. However, if you have more SPMs, perhaps 5 or
10 or even more, monitoring them becomes a problem. Checking the status of each one is time consuming.
Keeping track of which ones are in alarm is a problem. It is difficult to download each one's log data and
keep straight which SPM the logs came from. It is very difficult to update firmware on many machines.
Newmar offers a program called "Console" which makes it much easier to manage a large number of SPM-
200s. Console allows you to:
• Monitor and control multiple SPM-200s from a single web based application
• Easily upgrade the firmware in some or all of the devices with one command
• Capture the log data from each SPM continuously in a SQL database on a PC server
• Compare sensor readings across devices with a stacked-bar view
• Graph sensor readings across devices on a single graph
• See the status of all units on a single page
• Easily see which units are in or close to alarm, which ones are normal, and which ones cannot be contacted
• Supports up to 200 SPMs
• Automatically recognizes the firmware of each unit to upgrade
Console runs on a single Windows based PC server. Multiple users can access the server through a web
interface
Server Requirements:
• Runs as a Windows Service. Can be started and stopped remotely.
• Supported on Windows XP/Vista/2003/2008 Server platforms
• Compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit Windows
• Requires at least 512 MB memory and 200 MB of disk space, not including the log files
Server Recommendations:
• For less than 20 SPM units: Pentium 4 CPU at 2 GHz, and 512 MB of RAM. This configuration would use
Microsoft SQL CE.
• For 20 -75 SPM units: Pentium 4 CPU at 2.8 GHz, and 1 GB of RAM. This configuration would use
Microsoft SQL CE.
• For more than 75 units: Core 2 Duo CPU at 2 GHz and 2 GB of RAM. This configuration would need
Microsoft SQL Express.
