2.8 Viewing Data Via
Ethernet
To view your flow data via LAN or Internet connection, or in
TELNET using terminal emulation software such as HyperTer-
minal, the flow system must be connected online through the
accQcomm’s Ethernet port. Open your browser and go to the
URL shown in the Address box on the Communication tab in the
accQcomm configuration software.
Note
Some users have reported difficulty viewing the accQcomm
web page using Internet Explorer version 6.0.2600.2180.
Other versions of Internet Explorer, as well as other browsers,
have no known problems with the accQcomm web page.
The default settings for the IP address and Subnet mask are
192.168.1.10 and 255.255.255.0, respectively. The default
TELNET port is 23.
Note
If you change the IP address, your Subnet may need to be
adjusted.
Once the address of a site is changed, this becomes the static
address (unchanging), and must be entered into your browser
every time you enter the site, or saved as a favorite site.
Note
The accQcomm uses TCP/IP communication protocol. Nearly
all network servers include these services. If yours does not,
install these services. You may also need to adjust your secu-
rity and firewall settings to access the accQcomm.
For assistance in reserving a different static IP address for
your unit, contact your network administrator.
When you enter the site, the initial view will show a summary of
flow data, as well as sums and averages (Figure 2-12).
The table will display readings for each connected instrument.
For ports not connected to an instrument, the table will display
“No Valid Data.”
Note
For the accQmin flow meter, the accQcomm displays and
transmits secondary level data at 10X the actual value when
using Standard Data format. This should be considered when
setting up alarm conditions and analog outputs. This will not
occur with an accQmin using Reduced Data format.
