Q.7 If I wish to view the current readings of a multiple number of TR-7W units
via 1 specific unit, do I need to have affixed IP address for each unit ? How
about when there are multiple units being used with 1 router ?
A
If the units are all interspersed on the same independent network, you will need to have a
fixed IP address for each unit.
If you are using a router and wish to open a multiple number of TR-7W units in the same
network via the Internet, it is possible to assign a fixed IP address to the router and then
give each of the TR-7W units in the network a different port number.
For example, to access the TR-7W which has a URL of "http://www.tr7w.com" and an
HTTP port number of "9680" you would enter the HTTP port number at the end of the URL
as such: "http://www.tr7w.com:9680".
For more information about these settings see the user’s manual that came with your
router.
Q.8 If I connect the TR-7W to the Internet, is it not possible that another person
could read my data or change my settings ?
A
Yes, as long as you are connected to the Internet, the logger could well be the target of
unwanted access.
And, as long as you are open on the Internet, it is possible that a third party could view
your current readings or recorded data, or even, make changes to your settings.
But as long as your password and ID have not been leaked or stolen, it will be impossible
to access the most important areas.
But be aware that there are no assurances that your password and ID will not be stolen.
If you wish to lessen these risks we strongly suggest that you install a firewall and other
security software into your network.
