8. FTP Settings
This screen is where you make the settings for transferring
data from your loggers to an FTP server, should you
choose to do so. The FTP server may be internal to your
network or reside on the Internet. If you do not have
access to a local FTP server, as a TandD customer you are
welcome to set up a free WebStorage Service account on
TandD’s server. Use this link:
http://www.webstorage-
service.com/services/
to learn more about TandD’s free
WebStorage Service and to set up your account. Typical
settings for a WebStorage Service account are show in the
screen capture on the right. As a reminder, if you are going
to use an Internet based FTP server, such as WebStorage
Service, you should check to make sure that any
intervening firewalls are set to allow the RTR-500W to
communicate through them.
9. Settings For Sending Current Readings
Now that the RTR-500W knows where to send data you
will want to tell it what data to send and how to do it. The
first data type is Current Readings from the loggers. If you
want Current Readings to be sent make sure to set the first
line item to ON. Then select an interval and a method of
sending, for which there are 3 choices. The first is to send
via Email. If you select this you will have the option of
having an XML file with the readings included as an
attachment. The next choice is to send via FTP. This will
result in an XML file with the Current Readings being
uploaded to the specified FTP server and the selected
sending interval.
