Network Guides

This connection type shows multiple iLOG LAN units connected to a single router/gateway via standard ethernet cables. Data is passed to a single PC/Server locally via an ethernet cable, or through WAN (Wide Area Network) via telephone connection, or satellite to a PC/Server not physically linked or geographically linked to the router/gateway enabling world wide data transfer.

Wireless communications can be divided into two types:

Wireless communications for data loggers that use wireless sensors such as our WiSense module utilises a Zigbee wireless communication protocol. This is used to relay information collected by the sensors back to the base station which would in turn be linked to a PC or network

Also wireless networking is available. The wireless connection fundamentally has the same capability as the previous two connection possibilities (peer to peer and LAN/WAN) except the communication lines are over a wireless network locally (typically over 100ft range available) rather than with long cable runs.

Using an GT864 attached to some of our devices or an iLOG GSM it is possible to upload logged data to the web, and FTP or email address via a GSM/GPRS connection. Simply choose your preferred GSM network provider, insert the SIM card into the modem/iLOG and depending on the quality of reception you can send data via GPRS or a GSM Dial-Up Data Call (click here for cost examples).

Using an GT864 attached to some of our devices or an iLOG GSM it is possible to send alarm events to dedicated mobile phone numbers (5 numbers per iLOG GSM) reducing the need for constant surveillance or human presence. It is also possible to configure the iLOG and interrogate current input levels and alarms via a simple text message.
