nanodac RECORDER/CONTROLLER: USER GUIDE3.3.7 Demand Archiving (Cont.)FTP SERVER ARCHIVINGThis allows the archiving of recorder files to a remote computer via the RJ45 type connector at the rear ofthe recorder, either directly or via a network.In order to carry out a successful transfer:1. Details of the remote host must be entered in the Network.Archive area of configuration (Section4.2.2).2. The remote computer must be set up as an FTP server. Help from the user’s IT department may benecessary in order to achieve this. Appendix C, Section C2 to this manual suggests one way, usingFilezilla.3. The remote computer must also be set up to respond to ‘pings’. This is because the instrument pingsthe host whilst establishing connection, and if it does not receive a response the archive attempt fails.When accessing files using Microsoft® Internet Explorer, the address (URL) field can be in one of two formats:1. ftp://. This allows a user to log in as the anonymous user (if the recorder hasany account with the user name set to ‘anonymous’ with a blank password.2. ftp://:@ to log in as a specific user.For IE5 users, Microsoft® Internet Explorer displays, by default, history files only. To quit the history folder,either uncheck the Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/Browsing/’Enable folder view for FTP sites’ option, orcheck the Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/Browsing/’Use Web based FTP’ option.REVIEW SOFTWARE‘Review’ is a proprietary software package which allows the user to extract ‘archive’ data from one or moresuitable instruments* and to present this data on a host computer, as if on a chart, or as a spreadsheet. Thehost computer must be set up as an ftp server (see Appendix C section C2 for a description of one way ofdoing this).As described in the Review help system, ‘Review’ allows the user to set up a regular transfer of data (usingftp) from connected instruments into a database on the pc, and then from this database to the chart orspreadsheet. The chart/spreadsheet can be configured to include one or more ‘points’ from one or all connectedinstruments (where a ‘point’ is an umbrella term for channel, totaliser, counter etc.).It is also possible to archive instrument history files to a memory stick, Compact Flash card etc. (dependingon instrument type) and to use this to transfer the data to the pc.Each type of instrument has its own remote user name and password configuration - for this instrument, theuser name and password are both ‘history and they are not editable.*Suitable instruments are connected instruments, the archive files of which have the suffix ‘.uhh’.3.3.8 LoginLogin allows the user to enter a password in order to gain access to areas of the unit’s configuration whichare not available when the user is logged out.LOGGED OUT ACCESS LEVELLogged out mode allows the user to select viewing mode, to view history, to view alarms, to toggle faceplatecycling on and off, to send notes, to suspend/resume USB archiving and to access the login process.OPERATOR ACCESS LEVELIn addition to the logged out features, Operator access level allows the user to acknowledge alarms, to editnotes and to perform demand archive operations.By default, no password is required in order to enter Operator level, but a password can be set either at Supervisorlevel or at Engineer level.Page 20HA030554Issue 7 Nov 12
