Glossary of Terms
Auto Add Mode
- When in this mode, the MIU-1500 receives sensor information from a sensor and then
automatically appends the sensor to the sensor table with default setup information.
CRC-16 Error-Checking
- An algorithm designed to check for errors in a data stream.
Ethernet
- The physical and electrical interface for connecting computers together on a network.
FTP -
TCP/IP protocol design to transfer files.
HTML
- HyperText Markup Language - fundamental language used in creating web pages.
Inactivity Timeout
- The amount of time the MIU-1500 will wait for a command before terminating the
connection. Inactivity Timeout applies to Ethernet connections. For the local serial port, MIU-1500 will
automatically log out a user if a command is not received within this time.
IP Address
- 32 bit address usually represented as a series of 4 numbers that uniquely identifies a device that is
using the TCP/IP protocol.
ISP
- Internet Service Provider - provides the means to interfacing to the Internet.
MAC
- The MAC address is permanently part of the MIU-1500 cannot be changed and is unique for all
Ethernet interfaces.
Ping
- TCP/IP diagnostic utility used to determine if connection with another TCP/IP host is possible.
RS232
- Standard electrical interface used for serial ports.
Sensor
- wireless transmitter
Sensor Age
- The amount of time since the MIU-1500 has received a data packet from the sensor.
Sensor Table
- Each row in the sensor table contains the a sensor's current readings, event states and setup
information. Commands either read or set information to and from the sensor table.
Service
- Transmitters have a Service button that when pressed forces the sensor to transmit its readings.
TCP/IP
- Main protocol used to transport data across the Ethernet and Internet.
