User manual BS1000 LAN base station 7/18 July 5 2010 BS1000 Web server The built-in web server contains a few pages of the most recent measurements. Moreover the program offers administrative pages for various settings. The BS1000 web server is located at the address that has been defined by the network name, followed by the DNS network addition. Please note that an eventual blocking by a firewall and/or browser should be disabled as long as these apply to the BS1000.

The 'From field' defines the e-mail address of the sender that is used for the transmission of the Messenger e-mail. In some cases, the user name and the password must be entered. This can be done in the two lower fields. However, in most cases the user name and the password are not required.
User manual BS1000 LAN base station 10/18 July 5 2010 Messenger The Messenger is configured via a 'Rule file' that is set up via a so-called ,Rule Editor' and which contains one or more Messenger rules. These indications define actions that are triggered as soon as one or more conditions are met. The currently valid 'Rule file' will be marked as „current version“. Further details are given in the description of the Rule Editor.
User manual BS1000 LAN base station 11/18 July 5 2010 Time server At the start up of the BS1000 and in certain time intervals (provided that the system has been configured accordingly), the time is requested from an Internet time server and the internal clock of the base system is updated by this time. The clock of the BS1000 system is powered by a button cell when the station is switched off. Therefore the BS1000 system will always register new measurement data after switching on.
User manual BS1000 LAN base station 12/18 July 5 2010 Recent Events The Recent Events screen shows a short summary of the most recent events that the BS1000 has recorded. The results of the executed rule actions are indicated in lines per sensor. In addition to the executed rule actions, other events such as access to web pages and DHCP actions are recorded. Rule Editor The Rule-Editor is a tool for the creation of a “rule” file that is used by the BS1000 to control the built-in Messenger functions.
User manual BS1000 LAN base station 13/18 July 5 2010 The available actions are the transmission of an e-mail, the transmission of an HTTP request and the triggering of a built-in buzzer.

User manual BS1000 LAN base station 18/18 July 5 2010 Battery The BS1000 has a 3V Li CR2032 coin cell battery for powering the real time clock and the settings memory during power down. We advise to replace the battery every 3 years. Actual lifetime of the battery depends on operating temperature, quality of the battery and the period of time it stays powered off. When the BS1000 is powered on continuously, then a battery life of over 10-15 years can be expected.
