Q&A about Web Server Functions
Q.1 Are the RTR-5W Base Stations web servers?
A
The RTR-5W stations have web server functionality built into them. This function allows
for the provision or 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 RTR-5W, the RTR-5W 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 Website and the making public of these are done by the [Web
Server] and the sending and receiving of e–mail is performed by the [Mail Server].
