1.3 Description
View Barometric Pressure, Temperature + Humidity with a Web Browser.
The iServer transmitter let’s you monitor and record Barometric Pressure, Temperature,
Relative Humidity and Dew Point over an Ethernet network or the Internet with no special
software except a Web Browser.
The iBTHX is for barometric pressure, temperature, relative humidity and dew
point. The iBTX is for barometric pressure and temperature. The difference
between the iBTHX and the iBTX is only the probe/sensor.
The iServer serves Active Web Pages to display real time readings, display charts of
barometric pressure, temperature and humidity, or log data in standard data formats for
use in a spreadsheet or data acquisition program such as Excel or Visual Basic.
The virtual chart viewed on the web page is a JAVA™ Applet that records a chart over
the LAN or Internet in real time. With the iServer, there is no need to invest time and
money learning a proprietary software program to log or chart the data.
Adjustable Charts
: Chart scales are fully adjustable on the fly. For example, the chart
can display one minute, one hour, one day, one week, one month or one year.
Temperature and humidity can be charted across the full span (-40 to 85°C, and 0 to
100% RH) or within any narrow range (such as 20 to 30°C). Barometric Pressure can be
displayed in mbar (hectopascals hPa), millimeters of Mercury (mmHg), or inches of
Mercury (inHg).
Display and Chart Measurements: The iServer transmitters come complete with a barometric
pressure, temperature and humidity probe for measurement of a single location.
2
Award-winning Technology: The iServer is simple to install and use. It features award-
winning 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. From within an Ethernet LAN or over the
Internet, the user simply types its IP address or an easy to remember name such as
"Room 5" or "ServRoom" in any Web Browser, and the iServer serves a Web Page with
the current readings.
Typical Applications: The iServer is great for monitoring temperature + humidity in
applications such as: clean rooms, computer rooms, HVAC systems, pharmaceutical
and food processing and storage, hospitals, laboratories, semiconductor fabs, electronic
assembly, warehousing, museums, manufacturing, greenhouses, farm animal shelters,
and many more.
Email Alarms: All iServer models that are on a LAN that is connected to the Internet can
trigger an alarm that can be sent by email to a single user or to a group distribution list,
including text messages to cell phones and PDAs.
This device can be purchased as a stand alone DIN Rail mounted unit
(iBTX-D or iBTHX-D), as a bench/wall mount unit (iBTX-W or iBTHX-W), or as a
bench/wall mount unit with an LCD display, Flash Memory Card and Back-up
Battery (iBTX-SD).
The following example illustrates how you can hookup an iServer to your network:
A standard web browser can be used to monitor and chart barometric pressure,
temperature, humidity, and dew point. The browser can also be used to configure the
device’s IP address, passwords for access and overall configuration parameters.
An iLD Big Display can display temperature and barometric pressure received from an
iServer over the Ethernet or the Internet. The following example illustrates how you can
hookup an iServer and iLD to your network:

2.2.1 DIP Switch Usage
The iServer is shipped with all DIP switches in "OFF" position.
1) N/C - not used
2) To change to default factory settings
3) To enable/disable DHCP
4) N/C - not used
To set the iServer to factory default settings, slide DIP switch #2 to ON position.
Power the iServer on and wait about 10 seconds until the iServer fully boots up.
Set the DIP switch #2 back to OFF position (it does not matter if the iServer is
powered ON or OFF, just make sure that the DIP switch is set to OFF, otherwise,
every time the unit is power-cycled the factory settings will take over.
To enable the DHCP, besides using DIP switch #3, set the iServer’s IP address
to 0.0.0.0. An iServer with IP address of 0.0.0.0 will request an IP address,
gateway address, and subnet mask from a DHCP server over the Ethernet.

2.4 Network Communication Interfaces
2.4.1 10Base-T RJ-45 Pinout
The 10BASE-T Ethernet network (RJ-45) system is used in the iServer for network
connectivity. The 10 Mbps twisted-pair Ethernet system operates over two pairs of wires.
One pair is used for receiving data signals and the other pair is used for transmitting data
signals. This means that four pins of the eight-pin connector are used.
Figure 2.6 RJ45 Pinout
2.4.2 10Base-T Crossover Wiring
When connecting the iServer directly to the computer, the transmit data pins of the
computer should be wired to the receive data pins of the iServer, and vice versa. The
10Base-T crossover cable with pin connection assignments are shown below.

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. The MAC address can be
found on the label of your device and contains 6 bytes (12 characters) of hexadecimal
numbers XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX hex
For example: 0A:0C:3D:0B:0A:0B
Remove the small label with the default IP address and there will be room to put
your IP address. See Figure 3.1

3.3 DHCP
DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, enables computers and network devices to
receive their IP configurations from a DHCP server.
If DHCP is enabled on your iServer, as soon as the iServer that is connected to the
network is powered on, there will be an exchange of information between the iServer and
the DHCP server. As a result, the DHCP server will assign an IP address, a Gateway
address, a Subnet Mask, and a DNS address to the iServer. Note that the DHCP server
must be correctly configured to make such assignments.
If fixed or static IP address is desired, the DHCP function must be disabled.
The iServer is shipped with DHCP disabled (factory default).
The DHCP can be enabled by setting the DIP switch #3 to ON position (refer to Figure
3.2).
It’s very important to communicate with the network administrator in order to
understand DHCP and its existing configurations on the host server before
enabling DHCP on the iServer.
The iServer is shipped with a default static IP address of 192.168.1.200 and
Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0.
DIP switch # 3 shown in “ON” position
Figure 3.2 DIP Switch on iServer
Setting the iServers IP address to 0.0.0.0 will also enable DHCP.
3.4 DNS
DNS, Domain Name System, enables computers and devices to be recognized over a
network based on a specific name instead of IP addresses.
For example, instead of having to use http://192.168.1.200 (IP address), you would use
http://eis03ec or any name up to sixteen alphanumeric characters defined as a Host
Name in the iServer’s web server.
The default Host Name for an iServer is "eis" followed by the last four digits of the MAC
address of that iServer unit.
On Windows servers where DHCP and DNS are separate functions it is very
important to configure the DHCP server to communicate with DNS in order for
the iServer’s Host Name to correctly respond. If you cannot access the iServer
using its Host Name, please contact your network administrator to make sure
DHCP and DNS servers are linked together

3.5 Default IP Address
The iServer is shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of
255.255.255.0. If you are going to use a Web browser or Telnet program to access the
iServer using its default IP address, make sure that the PC from which you’re
establishing the connection has an IP address that is in the same range as the iServer’s
IP address (192.168.1.x, where x can be any number from 1 to 254.
Your PC’s IP address cannot
be the same as the iServer’s IP address.
You also need to make sure that your PC’s Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. This is a
good way to access the iServer over the network and make any configuration changes
needed. If 192.168.1.200 is already in use on your network, use an Ethernet crossover
cable between your computer and the iServer to change the IP address or any other
settings within the iServer.
3.6 Port Number
All TCP connections are defined by the IP address and a port number. A port number is
an internal address that provides a TCP/IP interface between an application software on
a computer and a device on the network or between two devices on the network.
There are three default TCP socket port numbers assigned to the iServer:
1. Port 1000 when using HTTPget program (see Section 4.5).
2. Port 2000 when trying to access the sensor (probe) connected to the port of the
iServer to receive data.
3. Port 2002 when trying to access the iServer itself for Power Recycling the iServer
remotely. This can be done using Windows standard Telnet application.
Power recycling the iServer can also be done through the iServer’s Web Server (see
Section 4.2).
Telnet stands for Telecommunications Network, it is a protocol that provides a way for
users (or clients) to connect to computers (or servers) on a network, whether in the next
building or across the world.
Example: C:\>Telnet 192.168.1.200 2002
You will then get the following screen.
Figure 3.3 Telnet Login into the iServer
You can open a Telnet session using other terminal emulation programs like Tera Term
Pro (downloadable from the internet), which is a free software for MS-Windows. It
supports VT100 emulation, Telnet connection and serial com port connections.

!
This iServer can be used and configured in several ways, depending on users preference
and network setup. It can be configured using a Web browser, like Netscape or Internet
Explorer. It can also be configured using iConnect Configuration Software.
If DHCP and DNS servers are used, the connection is very simple, no need to find the right
IP address or watch for network conflicts, these are all done for you by your network DHCP
and DNS server. All that is left for you to do, is to enable DHCP on the iServer (see Section
2.2) and use a straight network cable to connect the iServer to a hub and power it up.
If DHCP is not the preferred method, you can configure your PC’s network connection with
an IP address of 192.168.1.x that is in the same range as the iServer’s default IP address
(192.168.1.200) and connect to the iServer using a cross-over network cable between your
PC’s network port and the iServer. After you’re done with configuring the iServer, you can
always set your PC back to its original settings.
On your computer, from the MS-DOS Prompt window type "ping 192.168.1.200” and
press Enter. If DHCP and DNS servers are used type ping eisxxxx”, where xxxx are the
last four digits of the iServers MAC address, located on the back of the device. You should
get a reply as shown in Figure 4.1.
You can use the iServers host name (eisxxxx) instead of its IP address only if
your DHCP server is configured to communicate with your DNS. Please consult
with your IT department for details.

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 192.168.1.200 and Subnet Mask of
255.255.255.0. You can configure your PC’s Network connection with an IP address that
is in the same range as the iServer’s IP address (192.168.1.x) and connect to the iServer
using a crossover network cable between your PC and the iServer.
With this completed, you can go to the DOS-Prompt and ping 192.168.1.200. If you
receive responses back (Figure 4.1), you can go to the Web browser and type in
http://192.168.1.200 and it will take you to the iServer’s Home Page.
Select
,
button, you’ll be asked for the password. First default LOGIN
password is "12345678" and the ADMINISTRATOR password is "00000000", then you
should be on the Access Control page were you can simply type in the desired Static IP
address, and click Save.
For more details about the “Access Control” page refer to Section 4.3.5.
Figure 4.4 Access Control
For the IP address to take effect, the iServer needs to be turned OFF/ON. Clicking the
“Power Recycle” button will turn the iServer OFF and ON. Pressing the physical button
marked “RESET” on the iServer does the same thing.
You can now connect the iServer to an Ethernet hub using a straight through cable,
power it up, and follow the ping routine mentioned in the previous section.
