    Normal use This product was developed as an WIFi receiver for the AREXX Multilogger system. It will only work together with other AREXX Multilogger sensors and products. It may be used indoors only. The product must not get damped or wet. Also be careful with condense when you take it from a cold to an warm room, give it time to adapt to the new conditions before you use it.
  • Page 5 1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION BS1200 The BS1200 is a WIFI receiver station for the AREXX Multilogger system. Like the BS510 USB and BS1000 Lan receivers, the BS1200 receives AREXX sensor data via wireless transmission and sends these data via a WIFI Network interface to a PC.
  • Page 6 3. Blue LED 4. Green LED 2.1. Front and back panel On the front of the BS-1200 the on/off switch and three LEDs are pos- sitioned. The function of the LEDs is: Red LED is on when the BS-1200 is on.
  • Page 7 The BS-1200 comes with an adapter and USB cable. The adapter connects to the back 5V/±500mA. The USB cable can be used to connect to the BS-1200 directly to a PC, then BS-1200 will operates exactly the same as a BS510 receiver.
  • Page 8 Fig.4. Networkconfig tool extra fields Note that some extra fields are displayed now concerning the Wifi-connection. (The tool detected that a Wifi-enabled module is accessed). Now we can scan for networks using the ‘scan’ button. Fig.5. Networkconfig tool Finished scan The status line will show the scan started, and after some seconds when the scan has finished.
  • Page 9 Fig.5. Networkconfig tool write Now the new info is saved in the BS1200 and it will initiate a new connection. As indicated on the screen we switch back to the ‘Read’ tab and click on the ‘Read’ button again. Fig.6. Networkconfig tool read When the module is connected, it shows ‘Wifi status: Connected’, and on top the message ‘Network configuration valid’.
  • Page 10 4. BS-1200 WEBSERVER The obtained ipaddress and network name with the Networkconfigtool can be used to get access to the BS1200 webserver. Normally, you can use the networkname in the url field of your browser to access the BS1200. (Please prepend ‘http://’ before the networkname). If that is not working, the BS1200 should also be accessible by its ip address.
  • Page 11 Administration Fig.8. Administration We can reach the administrative part via the link at the top: ‘Admin’. After completing the user id and password (default is admin/admin) we get the Fig.8. screen. The current firmware version is listed in this screen. On the left there is a column with a number of links we briefly discuss: Network Fig.9.
  • Page 12 This defenition file is an XML file that contains the required parameter for the conversion. If new sensor types are added, the relevant definition file can be uploaded here so that the BS-1200 can use these indi- cations for the operation. When you submit an empty file field, the default internal definition file is used.
  • Page 13 Messenger Fig.11. Messenger The messenger is configured via a “Rule file” that is set up via a so-called, `Rule Editor` and which contains one or more messenger rules. These indications define actions that are triggered as sson as one or more conditions are met. The currently valid `Rule file` will be marked as “current version”.
  • Page 14 This clock uses the standard time (UTC). The adjustment of the time zone is entered in minutes into the field “timezone offset”. The time indicated on the web pages of the BS-1200 is local time and based on the time parame- ters of teh PC in charge of the browser.
  • Page 15 Recent Events The Recent Events screen shows a short summary of the most recent events that the BS-1200 has recorded. The results of the executed rule actions are indicated in lines per sensor. In addition to the executed rule actions, other events such as access to web pages and DHCP actions are recorded.
  • Page 16 The Rule-Editor is a tool for the creation of a rule-file that is used by the BS-1200 to control the built-in Messenger functions. The Messenger allows the start of one or more actions based on a incomming measurement value, if its associated condition is met.
  • Page 17 Conditions The condition is a logical expression that is evaluated within the context of the received measurement. The value of the measurement and its associa- ted attributes will be evaluated as variables. The following variables are available: Variable Description Measurement value sensor type 1 = temperature (°C), 3 = RV% (%), 5 = CO2 (ppm) sensor rssi value (dBm)
  • Page 18 Example Expression Description $v<10 results in true when the measurement falls below the value 10. $v<10 && $i=8297 results in true when the measurement of sensor 8297 falls below the value 10. ($v<-10 || $v>10)&&c==0 results in true when the measurement falss -10 or is bigger than 10, and the weekday is sunday.
  • Page 19 The http message, email message and email subject text fields that can contain variables. The value of a variable will be replaced by text when the message text is set up. The list of variables is: Variabele Description measuement value sensor type 1 = temperature (°C), 3 = RV% (%), 5=CO2 (ppm) sensor id number rssi value (dBm)
  • Page 20 Example message: id == i && $ value == $ v In this example, a web server is programmed to decode the indicated string in two parameters ‘id’ and ‘value’. This method allows to supply up-to-date data from the BS1200 to a web page without a running a PC. This mechanism is also used for the update of the temperature logger.
