enter your username and password. You can set how often you want the web page to be updated by entering an interval time

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.

the unit will not ftp any wml files.
Viewing the remote web page
To view the remote web page that the IMS-4000 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.mycom-
pany.com/jwilson/ims4k.html
Note: Data Log and Event Log information are NOT available via the remote web page.

The IMS-4000 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 sampling 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 IMS-4000.
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 computer or a network server. While the program
defaults to saving the history database on your local drive, if the system will be used by many users it may be advantageous
to store the database on a network drive. To specify the drive for saving History information click File, then Options from
the main menu. A sample screen is shown below:
Figure 53: History Options
To change the location for storing the History database, click the folder button on the right side of the screen and choose a
new location. The location you select will be displayed to the left.
Use the up or down buttons to select the amount of history to be viewed when accessing the History option through the
right-click menus in the ConsoleView software. This provides a quick view of the history for a particular Input or Profile.
The default time is 24 hours (1 day). Clicking the arrows will increase or decrease the data time by days.
Analog input values will automatically be graphed when viewing History through the right-click menus of the ConsoleView
software. You can choose to have the graphed data displayed as a line graph or simply show the discrete data points.
