T E L C O M T R E S E A R C H T R - 2 1 0 0 D A T A B U F F E R 1 Chapter Introduction his manual describes the operational characteristics of the TR-2100 Data Buffer. All aspects of the operational capability of the TR-2100 are covered including details for unit set-up, operation and troubleshooting. In general, reference to this manual will only be required during initial installation and when programming application software to interface with the TR-2100.
PAGE 20
T E L C O M R E S E A R C H T R - 2 1 0 0 D A T A B U F F E R High security The TR-2100 can send data to an FTP server automatically at regular intervals. The TR-2100 uses FTP Passive mode and acts as a client. It is not possible to make a connection from an external source to the TR-2100 FTP client. When the TR-2100 connects to your FTP server as a client, using the FTP Automatic Upload feature, upload speed can approach 50,000 compressed records per minute over the Internet.

T E L C O M T R E S E A R C H T R - 2 1 0 0 D A T A B U F F E R 2 Chapter Overview he purpose of this section is to provide a general description of the TR-2100 Data Buffer. Each of the features discussed in this section will be further described in later chapters of the manual. The TR-2100 is a compact, highly versatile data collection device. It is designed for maintenance free operation with reliability features to ensure data integrity as well as low support and service costs.
PAGE 22
T E L C O M R E S E A R C H T R - 2 1 0 0 D A T A B U F F E R By using groups of computer-to-computer commands the TR-2100 will perform all of the functions necessary for automatic data collection. These commands provide the functionality listed below. Communications Commands • • • • • • • • • Send the current record to the downstream processing system. Advance to the next record. Clear all of the previously transmitted records. This command makes room for new records.

The TR-2100's internal clock uses NTP to synchronize its time at regular intervals to an NTP server on the Internet or a local intranet. NTP servers on the Internet are organized in hierarchical configurations with the top level being a National Atomic Time Standard.

T E L C O M R E S E A R C H T R - 2 1 0 0 D A T A B U F F E R Non-Contiguous Subnet Bits Internet Standard 5 (RFC 950) actually specified that when splitting the bits in the host ID for subnet ID and host ID, it was possible and legal to split it in more than one place. This is referred to as “non-contiguous subnet bits” but the standard recommends against it. It states “However, we recommend that the subnet bits be contiguous and located as the most significant bits of the local address.

T E L C O M R E S E A R C H T R - 2 1 0 0 R D A T A B U F F E R 10 Chapter Reverse ARP Configuration everse ARP is a method of assigning an IP address to the TR-2100 when it is not practical to use the Control Serial Port. It requires an Ethernet connection, the Ethernet address of the TR-2100 and a Telnet client running on a Windows, Linux or Unix computer. Note: This method is the most difficult and should rarely if ever be utilized. We have included it for completeness.
PAGE 102
T E L C O M R E S E A R C H T R - 2 1 0 0 D A T A B U F F E R Note: in Unix derived systems MAC addresses are usually formatted as six pairs of hexadecimal digits separated by colons whereas Windows uses dashes. Checking Address availability To check that the IP address is not already in use, enter the following at the Command Prompt: Using PING C:\>ping 192.168.2.245 When a 'Ping" command is used, a 'Request Timed Out' message will be displayed if the address is not currently in use.

T E L C O M A R E S E A R C H T R - 2 1 0 0 D A T A B U F F E R 12 Chapter Automatic FTP Upload utomatic FTP Upload is the quickest and most efficient method of retrieving data from the TR-2100. The TR-2100 can act as an FTP client and upload saved records to your FTP server at regular intervals or when a predetermined capacity has been reached. Configuration options include: Automatic FTP uploads at a programmable interval from 1 minute to 168 hours and 59 minutes.

These are the commands used by the TR-2100 Windows Configuration Program described on page 15. These commands are only available through the Control Serial Port.

T E L C O M R E S E A R C H T R - 2 1 0 0 D A T A B U F F E R ‘^T’ is the character generated from the keyboard by pressing the ‘T’ key while the ‘Ctrl’ key is held down. There is no space between the ‘^T’ and the name of the command. There is exactly one space between the name of the command and any argument. Numbers may not be specified with embedded commas. ‘^T’ SetBaud0115200 is correct whereas ‘^T’ SetBaud0115,200 is incorrect.

T E L C O M R E S E A R C H T R - 2 1 0 0 D A T A B U F F E R addresses are merely an abstraction to make networks hardware independent, a machine must determine the actual address of the destination machine (or the router for the first hop if the destination is not local) before any packets can be sent. ASYNCHRONOUS (ASYNC) Serial data is transmitted in one of two ways, synchronous (SYNC) or asynchronous (ASYNC).

T E L C O M R E S E A R C H T R - 2 1 0 0 D A T A B U F F E R CENTREX Type of private branch exchange (PBX) that enables incoming calls to be dialed direct to any extension, and lets extension users dial their own calls without switchboard assistance. CHECKSUM A computed value which is dependent upon the contents of a packet. This value is sent along with the packet when it is transmitted.

DNS (Domain Name System) The DNS is a general purpose distributed, replicated, data query service. The principal use is the lookup of host IP addresses based on host names. The Internet naming scheme consists of a hierarchical sequence of names, from the most specific to the most general (left to right), separated by dots.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) allows a user to transfer files electronically from remote computers back to the user's computer. Part of the TCP/IP/TELNET software suite. FULL-DUPLEX The communication mode in which a device simultaneously sends and receives over the same link, doubling the bandwidth.

T E L C O M R E S E A R C H T R - 2 1 0 0 D A T A B U F F E R IP ADDRESS The numeric address of a computer connected to the Internet; also called Internet address. LAYER Communication networks for computers may be organized as a set of more or less independent protocols, each in a different layer (also called level). The lowest layer governs direct host-to-host communication between the hardware at different hosts; the highest consists of user applications. Each layer builds on the layer beneath it.

T E L C O M R E S E A R C H T R - 2 1 0 0 D A T A B U F F E R NETWORK A collection of wires, fibres, and equipment used to effect communication between a number of nodes (usually computers). NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a protocol that assures accurate local timekeeping with reference to radio and atomic clocks located on the Internet. This protocol is capable of synchronizing distributed clocks within milliseconds over long time periods. It is defined in STD 12, RFC 1119. OCTET An octet is 8 bits.

T E L C O M R E S E A R C H T R - 2 1 0 0 D A T A B U F F E R RS-232C A standard, established by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) in 1969 to define the electrical characteristics for connecting Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and Data Circuit Terminating Equipment (DCE). The standard dictates the voltage ranges, control signals and pin assignments. A typical example would be a connection between a PC (a DTE device) and a modem (a DCE device).

It is connection-oriented and stream-oriented, as opposed to UDP. See also: connection-oriented, stream-oriented, User Datagram Protocol. TD (Transmit Data) The RS-232 line that actually carries the outgoing data from one device to another. TELNET A portion of the TCP/IP suite of software protocols that handles terminals.
