EN-USERMAN OW-SERVER-ENET-2 V2.0 12.20.12
Communications
Interface
The top of the screen shows information about the communication status between the OW-
SERVER-ENET-2, the 1-Wire devices as a group, and the Web browser:
•
Firmware Version
—the version of firmware currently operating in the OW-SERVER-
ENET-2
•
Devices Connected
—the
total number of devices
communicating with the
OW-SERVER-ENET-2
•
Device poll count
—the
number of times the OW-
SERVER-ENET-2 has cy-
cled through polling all of the connected devices. The rate of polling depends upon the
number of devices and the specific device. Some 1-Wire devices refresh every second
while others may do so much faster (e.g., The DS18B20 causes a 900ms delay while
waiting for the temperature to be converted, whereas the DS2406 has no delay).
•
Loop time
—the time, in seconds, it takes for the OW-SERVER-ENET-2 to cycle through
polling all of the devices and receive a response. As more devices are added, each indi-
vidual device gets read less frequently since only a single device can be read at a time.
This value is useful for determining how frequently each sensor gets read.
•
Device Name
—the programmable name given to the OW-SERVER-ENET-2 to distin-
guish one OW-SERVER-ENET-2 from another.
•
Host Name
—
the name used by NBNS
•
MAC Address
—
This is the globally unique MAC address of the OW-SERVER-ENET-2
•
Connection status
—the connection status between the OW-SERVER-ENET-2 and the
Web browser that is accessing the OW-SERVER-ENET-2 Network configuration page. If
a connection error exists, the line will stop spinning.
•
Data activity
—this light will flash green every time the browser receives a data push of
new values from the OW-SERVER-ENET-2. This is useful to know that the data feed is
alive, even if the values are not changing.
•
Enable auto update
—check this box to enable the browser to update the Web page as
new data is received from the OW-SERVER-ENET-2. Uncheck the box if you would like
to pause the automatic refresh between browser and the OW-SERVER-ENET-2 to ana-
lyze information on the screen. Note: if you leave this box unchecked, the Web page will
not update with new values automatically but the OW-SERVER-ENET-2 will continue to
poll attached 1-Wire devices.
