11. Send Recorded Data Settings

This is the screen where downloads of the data recorded by the
loggers are enabled, the frequency of downloads is specified and
the transmission method is set. Recorded Data can be sent as
frequently as eight times per day. Note that the selected
transmission method applies to all times specified. Again, if
transmission via FTP is selected and is not included in the
File Name, each transmission will overwrite the previous one,
resulting in a single data file residing on the server no matter how
many uploads are made. Also, as with sending Current Readings,
it is important to note that if Recorded Data is being sent to a
WebStorage Service account the Recipient Folder entry must be
left blank.

12. Transmission Tests

Important Note: The Transmission Tests determine if
communication can be established via the specified method
without errors being returned (no actual data is sent). Because of
this

, the RTR-500NW/AW must be connected to the network.

This may seem obvious after thinking about it, but it is surprising
how often people just proceed to this step while still connected via
USB.

At this point the USB cable should be unplugged, the Settings
Utility should be closed and connection to the network established.
The success or failure of connecting can be quickly determined by
the DIAG and ACTIVE LEDs on the unit. The table to the right is
an excerpt from the Documents section of the Operation Guide. If
the RTR-500W does not appear to be connected by examining the
LEDs, you will have to stop here and troubleshoot the problem.
