Q&A about Web Server Functions
Q.1 Are the TR-7W data loggers web servers ?
A
The TR-7W loggers have web server functionality built into them. This function allows for
the provision or the serving up of temperature and humidity data, current readings and
graphs.
Q.2 What is a Web Server ? What is a client ?
A
In a computer network, the computer that acts as a provider of services to various users
is called a server and the computers which request these services from the server are
referred to as clients.
Most communication service is made up of exchanges between servers and clients.
In the case of TR-7W, the TR-7W provides functions and information so it is a server and
the computer, which reads this information or functions, is the client.
For example, the storage of homepages and the making public of these are done by the
"Web Server" and the sending and receiving of e-mail is preformed by the "Mail Server".
