Click the Enable FTP Delivery box and fill in the necessary information for your FTP server. Your service provider will have to provide you with the FTP Server name and sub directory where your files will be uploaded. You will also be required to enter your username and password. You can set how often you want the web page to be updated by entering an interval time in the Update box. Enter a file name for the web page (e.g. rim600.html). When you’ve finished, click OK. Listed below are definitions of the FTP programming parameters.

FTP Server: the host name of the FTP server for your service provider.

Directory: The remote directory is the folder within the web site where the pages will upload.

Username: Your user name for your web account.

Password: The log-in password you need to access the folders and files in your web account.

Update Interval: This time period determines how often the web page is uploaded.

Create HTML as: This is the file name given to your web page.

Create WML as: This is the file name given to web pages to be viewed with wireless phones. If no name is programmed, the unit will not ftp any wml files.

Viewing the Remote Web Page

To view the remote web page that the RIM-600 uploaded, you need to know its web address. This address corresponds to the Server name, plus the directory, plus the file name of the web page. It will look something like this: http://www.mycompany.com/jwilson/rim600.html

Note: Data Log and Event Log information are NOT available via the remote web page.

History

The RIM-600 stores both datalog and eventlog history internally. The datalog is a time-stamped collection of input values that can be used to view and graph environmental conditions over time. It can also store the status of IP devices. The user can choose which inputs or IP alarms are stored and specify the overall sampling rate. Care should be taken to select the number of inputs and sam- pling rate accordingly, since large amounts of data can potentially be logged. The more data being logged, the faster the history log will fill up.

The eventlog contains time-stamped messages that describe activities performed by the unit such as alarm detection, user logins, telephone calls, and alarm acknowledgement. The eventlog history is useful when you want to review the historical events monitored and performed by the RIM-600.

When a user goes online, information for both the datalog and eventlog history is automatically retrieved and stored in a database on a user-specified hard disk. This can be a drive on your own
