Appendix A: 

Wireless Datalogger configuration

 

 

This  Appendix  aims  to  explain  and  guide  the  user  through  the  configuration  of  the  FTP  system 

incorporated in this viscometer model. 

 

In order to use this feature, it is required to have an FTP server ready to be accessed. Additionally, 

it is necessary to have a USB connection between the viscometer (in Fungilab Data Boss mode) and 

a computer in order to configure the different parameters of the wireless connection. 

 

A.1.-Wireless Parameters 

The  wireless  capabilities  require  the  configuration  of  several  parameters.  These  parameters  are 

required to connect the viscometer to the wireless network, contact the FTP server and upload the 

datalog saved in its memory. 

 

The  required  parameters  are  presented  below.  Some  are  optional  depending  on  the  conditions 
defined  by  the  wireless  network.  This  is  indicated  with  an  ‘[o]’  after  the  parameter  and  a  little 

explanation  in  italics  after  the  description.  Moreover,  a  pyramid  chart  that  represents  these 

parameters in a hierarchical structure is shown in Fig.17. 

 

FTP PARAMETERS 

 

Server IP address: This parameter sets the IP value that identifies the FTP server on the 
network. 

 

Server port: This parameter sets the port through which the viscometer accesses the FTP 
server. 

 

FTP folder: This parameter sets the folder from the FTP root directory in which the file is 
going to be saved. If left blank, the file is saved in the ‘PUBLIC’ folder of the root directory 
(/PUBLIC). An error screen appears if this folder cannot be found or it does not exist. Put a 
dot character (.) to save the file in the main root. 

 

FTP  file:  This  parameter  sets  the  name  of  the  file  to  be  saved  into  the  FTP  server.  This 
name must also contain the file extension (.csv/.txt).  

 

FTP username: This parameter sets the user of the FTP server that the viscometer will use 
to access it. 

 

FTP password: This parameter sets the user password for accessing the FTP server. 

 

IP CONFIGURATION 

 

Static/Dynamic IP address: Disables/Enables the DHCP for automatic IP configuration inside 
the wireless network. I case of Static IP address, the following fields must be implemented: 

o

 

IP  address[o]:  This  parameter  sets  the  IP  address  that  identifies  the  Viscometer 
inside the network. For the proper function of the communication, it is necessary to 
have a unique IP address for the Viscometer. 

o

 

Netmask[o]: This parameter sets the netmask that defines the IP groups inside the 
network. The default value is usually 255.255.255.0. 

o

 

Gateway[o]:  This  sets  the  IP  address  of  the  gateway  that  manages  the  wireless 
network. 

These  three  fields  are  not  mandatory  if  the  DHCP  is  enabled  (dynamic  IP  address). 

Otherwise, these fields are required to ensure the proper working communication.
