4.3.7 Network Setup (continued)
A) General
Secured Applet: If checked, the LOGIN password is required to open
“Readings” and “Chart” pages.
Title: wiDR’s name [maximum of 16 alphanumeric characters], shows on the
"Chart" and "Reading" pages.
B) Terminal Server
TCP/UDP*: The wiDR supports TCP and UDP protocols (default is TCP). If UDP
is selected, it can be configured either for Broadcast UDP or Directed UDP. In case
of Broadcast UDP, the wiDR will transmit the data to every node on the network.
This can be accomplished if the Remote IP Address is set to 255.255.255.255.
The Broadcast UDP is a practical solution when one wiDR needs to communicate
with multiple nodes over the network. In the case of directed UDP, the wiDR will
transmit the data to a specific node on the network. This can be accomplished if
the Remote IP Address is set to the IP address of that specific node.
Server Type: Continuous mode sends the temperature to the Ethernet, every
two seconds. It is mainly used to send readings to a remote display. Command
mode (default) needs a command to query the wiDR to send the response back
to querying device.
Forward CR: Forward CR can be enabled and disabled. If enabled the wiDR
will forward a <CR> along with the data to a network host in Command mode.
Number of Connections: The range is from 0 to 5. If 0 is selected, the Terminal
Server feature is disabled. This means that no network connection can be made
to the wiDR. If 1 is selected, only one network connection can be made to the
wiDR. Any number more than 1 would allow that number of network hosts to
read from the wiDR simultaneously (default is 5).
Port: Port number for TCP connections. Invalid ports: <500, >65536, 1000, 2002,
2003, and 7011.
C) Remote Access
Remote IP Address: The wiDR can establish a connection to a remote device
(e.g. an iLD Remote Display with an Ethernet embedded board) with this IP.
Remote Port: (default 2000) the remote port number for the connection.
Ports 1000 (used for HTTPget, refer to Section 4.5), 2002, 2003, and 7011 are
reserved for internal use.
Remote Access: ** Remote Access can be enabled and disabled. If enabled,
the wiDR can send its data to a remote node on the same network (the “Remote
IP address” and “Remote Port” must be entered).
* TCP/UDP: when UDP mode is selected, Remote Access should be disabled
and Remote IP and Port are the UDP remote listening IP and Port. If the Remote
IP is set to 255.255.255.255, the UDP packet becomes a broadcasting packet
which will allow any device listening to the Remote port to receive the packet.
** If Remote Access is enabled, Terminal Server is automatically disabled.
