2.5.2 Data gaps
In order to avoid data gaps within RMS due to power or communication interrupts:
The RMS-CONVERTER and the digital device must be powered via an uninterrupted power supply.
The switch must be powered via an uninterrupted power supply.
The RMS-CONVERTER and the digital device must be configured with a fix IP address of the same
subnet (only the last numbers of the IP addresses of the devices differ between each other), so that a
point to point connection can remain open. The device within the red frame below can communicate
with the RMS-CONVERTER should there be a power or communication (higher on the network)
interrupt.
Figure 2: Recommendations for setting up the RMS-CONVERTER on a network.
2.6
RTC (Real Time Clock)
The RMS-CONVERTER can only log with the correct time stamp synchronized to UTC. In case of a power
interruption on the RMS-CONVERTER, during the restart, it will first synchronize its time with the RMS server
UTC. Before that, the RMS-CONVERTER will not start to log.
Recommendation: Install an uninterrupted power supply for the RMS-CONVERTER.
2.7
Data encryption
The communication between the RMS-CONVERTER and the RMS Server software/MS SQL database is
encrypted. The communication between the RMS-CONVERTER and the digital devices is not encrypted.
