Internet query via PC-SET LAN
For this solution the above requirements A or B are not required for the system location.
Instead, requirements A or B apply to the PC location because the device can access
PC-SET LAN only with a fixed address. In other words
•
Option A: The PC location has a fixed IP.
In the device menu 15.Network, or on the browser configuration page set a fixed
destination IP for reporting.
•
Option B: A DynDNS service is (or will be) set up for the PC location.
Enter the DynDNS name on the configuration page using your browser.
PC-SET LAN can log the message data (logbook) and can route e-mail alarms in case of
events.
Internet connection to an external system (Smart-Inspector.com)
Convenient inventory management and alarm support with an external system server,
e.g. www.Smart-Inspector.com.
With this convenient solution the devices and the external system are continuously connected
via the Internet. The devices cyclically report the current inventory data, the limit value status
and the alarm status (alarm/no alarm). The Smart-Inspector system handles the graphical
data presentation and the alarm routing function (can be configured).
For this solution, the device location does not need a fixed IP or DynDNS service.
All that is required is that the ports are routed to the device IPs in the router. If this is not
possible for some reason (e.g. security),
•
the configuration page cannot be called remotely to adjust the device settings
(i.e. the device configuration page would only be available locally in the intranet)
and no measurements could be requested manually via 'Refresh'
(i.e. the displayed tank inventories could be a few minutes old because the devices send
data in 10-minute cycles, for example).
Testing the network communication of the device
Open a browser on a PC (recommended, Firefox
®
or Microsoft Internet Explorer
®
). Enter the
IP address of the SmartBox
®
in the address line.
•
e.g. 192.168.1.112 (in the LAN )
The SmartBox
®
reports with the status page that the browser then displays*
Press F5 to refresh or open the page.
Press CONFIG to open the configuration page*
For the external query test, enter the current IP of the device location plus (:) the port no. that
is set up in the router.
•
e.g. 95.123.63.15:3000 (from the Internet )
* (see page configuring the network communication / device connection in the network / LAN)
Ping test
Call a ping test via the device menu "15.Network"
Test
Ping Yes/No.
When "OK" is returned, the device's network connection communication functions.
