The Ethernet module option enables the Recorder to beconnected to computer networks for remote monitoring anddata access.

1.1 Ethernet CommunicationsEthernet is a form of electronic communication that has beenadopted as a worldwide networking standard. Each device onan Ethernet acts independently from other stations on thenetwork, which has no central controller.

There are a number of media that can be used for Ethernetinterconnections (for example coaxial cable, unshielded twistedpair cables and air transmission). The Ethernet module used inthe Recorder supports a standard called 10BaseT that usesunshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable to connect nodes. UTPcable comprises four pairs of wires twisted together into a singlecable.

Ethernet signals are transmitted serially, one bit at a time, over ashared signal channel to every station attached to the network.When a station has data to transmit, it listens to the channel towait until the channel is idle then transmits its data as anEthernet frame or packet. After each frame transmission allstations must contend equally for the next frame transmissionopportunity. This ensures that no station can lock out the otherstations on the network.

Access to the network channel is determined by the MediumAccess Control (MAC) mechanism embedded in the Ethernetinterface of each station. This mechanism is based on a CarrierSense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD)system.

Each Ethernet frame contains the source and destinationaddresses for the frame, a variable size data field and an error-checking field that checks the integrity of the frame content toensure that it has been delivered intact. The address fields,called physical or MAC addresses, are each 48-bits long. Everystation on the network has a unique, pre-assigned MAC addressprogrammed into its Ethernet Option board.

Table 1.1 Protocol Layers

Fig. 1.1 Typical FTP Transfer

Fig 1.2 Typical HTTP Transfer

1.2 Higher Level ProtocolsData can be transmitted over an Ethernet network using higherlevel protocols that overlay the Ethernet infrastructure. Thehigher level protocol packets are contained within the data fieldof Ethernet packets. The Recorder uses a protocol called TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), which is aworldwide standard that has been used to create the Internet.

The Internet Protocol (IP) routes the packets of information totheir destination devices. The routing is performed using an IPaddress embedded in the header attached to each packet. TheIP address is a 32-bit number divided into four sections (calledoctets) that are shown as decimal values. A typical example is192.168.1.1.

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) establishes aconnection between the two devices before any data istransmitted. This enables confirmation of reception of alltransmitted packets, so that any lost packets can be re-transmitted.

Other protocols that operate at the same level are the AddressResolution Protocol (ARP) and the Internet Control MessageProtocol (ICMP).

Above the TCP and IP layers there are a number of applicationprotocols that perform a range of tasks. Typical examples areFile Transfer Protocol (FTP) and HyperText Transfer Protocol(HTTP).

These layers fit together to provide a full data transfer system:

FTP provides a reliable mechanism for the transfer of filesbetween a client and a server:

Note. Ensure that permission has been granted forinstallation of new devices on the network. If in doubt,consult the System Administrator before connecting theRecorder.

To connect the Recorder onto an Ethernet network, use a singlenetwork cable to link it to the network hub. The connection ismade using a standard RJ45 connector at the rear of the unit onmodule C – see Fig. 2.1.

Note. To prevent signal degradation, the maximumcable length between 10BaseT network devices is limited to100m. If longer cable runs are required between devices,repeaters or gateways must be used to boost signalstrengths.

The Recorder uses standard Ethernet and web standards andcan be connected in a number of network configurationsincluding:

• One-to-one connection between the Recorder anda computer

• Connection to a network hub

• Connection to a dial-up router

• Connection to an internet gateway.

Set the IP address for the 'Default gateway' (router, switch etc.)required to communicate with other networks. This setting maynot be required. The default setting is '0.0.0.0'

The 'FTP User' name and password are used during logon toenable the FTP server. Access for up to four different users isprovided. These passwords can also be used to allow access tosome functionality provided by the web server.

Enter the name of user required for FTP login.

Enter the password required for FTP login.

Select whether this FTP user has full access (i.e. the ability toread, write and delete files) or read-only access.

Note. If a user is given full access via FTP, that user isable to delete both data and configuration files. This couldresult in erroneous operation of the Recorder.

3 CONFIGURATION

3.1 General

Note. Changes to the IP address, subnet mask anddefault gateway are implemented only after the Recorderhas been restarted. Change the addressing parameters,exit and save the configuration, wait until the 'Please Wait'message disappears then power down and restart theRecorder.

SM1000 only – from the 'System Configuration' screen, accessthe Ethernet Module:

SM2000 only – from the 'System Configuration' screen, accessthe Ethernet Module:

Set the 'IP-address' to be assigned to the Recorder. The IPaddress is used by the TCP/IP protocol to distinguish betweendifferent sources. The address is a 32-bit value expressed withfour values (0 to 255), each separated by a period (.).

The 'Subnet-mask' is used to indicate which part of the IPaddress is for the network ID and which is for the host ID. Set as'1's each bit which is part of the network ID, e.g. 255.255.255.0indicates first 24 bits are for the Network ID.

4.1 Testing Operation on a NetworkThe operation of the network connection and the IP address ofthe Recorder can be checked using the PING utility of a PC onthe network:

1) On the PC, click the 'Start' button on the task bar and select'Run'.

2) In the 'Open:' field, type 'cmd' then click the 'OK' button.This displays a DOS window with the cursor at the defaultdrive prompt:

3) Type 'PING' followed by the IP address of the Recorder andpress Enter. The PC displays a message indicating that aping operation is sending 32 bytes of data to the specifiedaddress. If the connection and address are correct, fourreplies are received, e.g.:

Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes = 32 time<10ms TTL=128Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes = 32 time<10ms TTL=128Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes = 32 time<10ms TTL=128Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes = 32 time<10ms TTL=128

4) If a valid response is not received, check that the correct IPaddress was entered and that the host PC has an IP addresswith the same network ID as defined by the sub-net mask. Ifthat is correct, check the connecting cable and confirm (ifapplicable) that the green continuity LED on the terminalconnector of the Recorder's Ethernet module indicates thata connection has been made.

4.2 FTP AccessThe FTP server in the Recorder can be used to access its filesystem from a remote station on the network. This requires anFTP client on the host PC. Examples of both the use of thecommand line FTP client in MS-DOS and Internet Explorer as anFTP client are given in the APPENDIX.

Note. FTP access to an Recorder's removablestorage card is not possible if archiving is off-line.

4.3 Setting Up FTP Accessfor use with DataManager – Figs. 4.2 to 4.9DataManager can be used with FTP to access data files thathave been archived onto the storage card of a remoteRecorder:
