Instruction manual Wav WaveGuide Server
Commissioning the system
To set the WaveGuide system in operation the following steps has to be made:
•
connect the WGS to a computer
•
become an authorized user
•
inspect the quality of the measurements.
•
set sample rate, mounting height.
•
set system date/ time.
•
configure the distribution of data.
Connect the WGS to a computer.
Inside the WaveGuide Server there is a web server available. Ones the WaveGuide Server is connected via LAN to
a computer, communication with the web server is possible with any modern web browser with javascript enabled
(Explorer, Mozilla, Opera etc.).
If it is not possible to establish a network connection it is also possible to service the system via serial port 1. Only
an expert user should do this. In appendix 3 this is described.
The computer is connected with the WGS via a network cable, straight to a network switch or direct via a cross
cable. During startup the WGS starts broadcasting for a DHCP server in the network to obtain an IP address. If
there is no DHCP server responding the WGS will become a DHCP server itself with default ip address
192.168.111.71. A computer that will try to make a connection with the WGS will obtain an IP address from the
WGS in the range 192.168.111.80 to 100. The actual IP number of the WGS is also presented at its LCD display
(scroll via button 2 until the network info is displayed and then by button1 scroll through name and address.
The default IP address can be modified via the web interface.
Type the ip address or name indicated on the LCD display (e.g.
http://192.168.111.71
or
http://wgs6
) in the
address line of the browser. Figure 10 gives the opening screen of the WaveGuide Server.
At the left side bar there are the 10 main topics of the interface:
Measurements
Recent raw measured data can be presented in a graph.
Parameters
The calculated parameters can be presented graphically.
Spectra
The energy density spectrum of the waves can be requested.
Data logger
Data logging is available as an option.
