Section 10. AquaManager Software
AquaManager is a 32-bit Windows ® application that provides remote access and network management
services between a PC and the YSI 5200 Recirculating Monitor. The function of the software is to assist
users with the complex task of monitoring local or remotely-connected YSI 5200 Recirculating Monitor
units.
AquaManager has three methods of communicating with YSI 5200s.
Direct Connection—A direct serial connection between a dedicated RS232 serial port on a
computer and the serial port of a 5200.
Modem Connection—A dial up telephone line connection between a computer equipped with a
modem and a 5200 equipped with a 5201 Modem.
IP Connection—A TCP/IP network connection between a computer with access to a TCP/IP
network (either through an Ethernet connection or via a dialup access connection such as AOL)
and a 5200 connected to a Serial to Ethernet Converter.
AquaManager works very much like an e-mail system. Periodically, it initiates a direct or modem-to-
modem dial-up connection with a YSI 5200. Once connected, many actions can then be accomplished,
including downloading of the datalog, viewing current conditions, reviewing configuration setpoints,
uptime, and graphing data.
Your YSI 5200 is ready to communicate with any AquaManager-enabled Windows PC. YSI’s security
system allows only authorized users to access your systems and data.
