C HAPTER SYSTEM OVERVIEW CHAPTER 0 1.1. Product Description The F110 Monitoring System is a comprehensive system which provides equipment protection by monitoring critical operating parameters in enterprises, remote network facilities, communication rooms, and critical support systems. The F110 is a stand alone system. It operates via embedded “firmware” that handles all data collection, alarm reporting, and multiple concurrent communication mediums.

C HAPTER GETTING STARTED CHAPTER 0 2.1. Installation The F110 comes in a 4.5”W x 1.25”H x 2.5”D desktop enclosure. Mount or place the unit in the desired location. A 19 inch (.48m) rack mount enclosure is available from RLE. 2.2. Communication The F110 default is configured with a DHCP IP Address. The RLE Device Discovery Utility scans the network and locates all F110 devices connected to the network. This provides an efficient way to manage large numbers of F110 devices from a single host system.
2 Getting Started 2.2.1 Search Select the Search button to scan the network for the F110 hardware devices. If an F110 is physically attached to your network anywhere it will be located in this scan. Note If the Device Discovery Utility can not find the F110, reset the unit by unplugging the power adapter and then plugging it back in. Also, make sure that UDP port “30718” is not restricted on your network by a router, switch, network firewall or software firewall. 2.2.
2 Getting Started 2.2.6 Update Click the Update button to update the firmware installed on the selected F110. Updated firmware files provided by RLE, add new features and enhance the web browser interface. These firmware updates are available from RLE if firmware replacement is necessary. Note 2.3. When obtaining the F110 Firmware Update file from the RLE Technologies website, be sure to save the file instead of opening it from a web browser.
2 Getting Started 2.3.2 RJ45 Ethernet Connection The F110 has an internal 10/100BaseT Ethernet port used to configure and monitor the F110. The Ethernet port supports Web browser access, email (SMTP), Modbus, and SNMP. The following figures show the physical connection. Figure 2.4 Physical Connection Figure 2.5 shows a typical F110 connection on a subnet using a hub or switch and straight through Network Patch cables.

C HAPTER F110 WEB INTERFACE CHAPTER 0 3.1. F110 Web Interface Overview The F110’s Web interface provides a convenient way to check the F110’s status and reconfigure basic settings from any internet enabled computer. Enter the IP address of the F110 into your web browser’s address bar. The F110 Main Page will appear. 3.2. Status Screen Figure 3.1 F110 Status Screen The Falcon F110 Status Screen is available through the built-in web server and shows the current status of the attached sensors.
3 F110 Web Interface color based upon where the temperature or humidity is in relation to the established high and low thresholds. If the temperature or humidity is between the high and low thresholds and more than five (5) degrees from either threshold, the status icon will be green. If it is within five (5) degrees of the high threshold, the status icon will be yellow. If it is within five (5) degrees of the low threshold, the status icon will be blue.
3 F110 Web Interface Note There is no user name or no password from RLE. Password can be assigned to the unit later in the configuration menu. There is no user name that can be configured at this time. 3.3.1 Network The Network tab stores settings to control how the F110 appears on the local network. Modifying the DHCP name will change how the F110 reports to the DHCP server when attempting to obtain a dynamic IP address.
3 F110 Web Interface 3.3.2 Email The Email tab stores settings for the F110 to send Email Alert Notifications when alert thresholds are exceeded. In order to enable email alerting from the F110's web server interface, your mail server must have SMTP Relay enabled for either your network or the IP address of the F110. Contact your Email Administrator if you need assistance. Enter the mail server address for the mail server you are using in the Mail Server Address field.
3 F110 Web Interface Note Many email servers block SMTP email by default. To use SMTP email with the F110, be sure the F110 IP address is added to the list of allowed SMTP relay hosts on the email server you are using for email. Note After you make a field change, click on Accept Changes at the bottom of the screen, after verifying the settings are ok, click on the Save Settings tab located on the left hand column. 3.3.
3 F110 Web Interface 3.3.4 Channel 2, Channel 3 and Channel 4 The Channel 2, Channel 3 and Channel 4 tabs are used to configure sensor labels and to set temperature thresholds, temperature/humidity thresholds and/or alarm states for the sensors connected to sensor channels 2, 3 and 4 on the front of the F110. Sensor labels can be up to 14 characters in length.
3 F110 Web Interface Figure 3.6 Sensor Settings 3.3.5 Switched Sensor Alarm Configuration The Channel 1 tab is used to configure sensor labels and alarm states (normally open or closed) for the eight (8) switch sensor ports (dry contact inputs) on the back of the F110 unit. Sensor labels can be up to 15 characters in length. Alert Thresholds for switch sensors connected to the eight (8) sensor ports on the back of the F110 are set by specifying either CLOSED or OPEN.
3 F110 Web Interface Figure 3.7 Security Settings 3.3.7 Advanced The Advanced tab is used to configure the Temperature Scale Configuration, Time & Date Configuration by connecting to a NTP server and provides a Trace Configuration for diagnostics when communicating to other equipment. If you wish to modify the time display on the Status screen to the local time zone, use the drop down box to select your local time zone, check the Daylight Savings Time checkbox if applicable and click Save Settings.
3 F110 Web Interface Temperature Scale Conversion: You can select how the F110 displays the Temperature output on the Status page, either being Fahrenheit or Celsius. Time & Date Configuration: Enter an IP address of a NTP server for the F110 to synchronize with for displaying current date and time information. Trace Configuration: This feature enable you to open a secondary window to view communication between the F110 and other devices, such as a Mail Server, Modus Master and SNMP manager.
3 F110 Web Interface 3.3.9 Help Screen The Help screen displays the current firmware on the F110 unit. There are hyperlinks available for contacting RLE Technologies, RLE Technical Support, and Web Site link for viewing other RLE products and information. Figure 3.10 Help Screen 3.3.10 About Screen The About screen also displays current information and provides links and information for contacting RLE Technologies.

A PPENDIX MODBUS CONFIGURATION VIA TELNET CHAPTER 0 A.1. F110 Modbus Capabilities By default, the F110 is enabled to listen on TCP port 502 for Modbus requests. The Modbus module can be enabled or disabled, the TCP port can be changed, and a list of IP addresses can be specified and used to either allow or deny Modbus requests. A.2. Telnet Configuration Modbus can be configured through the F110 Telnet interface.
A Modbus Configuration Via Telnet Enable MODBUS? (N)? Enter Y to enable Modbus and N to disable it. When Modbus is disabled, the F110 will not actively listen on the Modbus TCP port for Modbus requests. MODBUS Port: (502) By default, the F110 listens for Modbus requests on TCP port 502. This port can be changed to any valid TCP port number although it is recommended to leave it set for port 502 to ensure compatibility with other Modbus devices on the network.
