12 TCP/IP Receiver The Smart-Vue TCP/IP Network Receiver plugs into your local Ethernet
network and collects data wirelessly from various types of Smart-Vue
modules, including temperature, humidity and other sensors, and transfers
it to the Smart-Vue Server data monitoring software.
Network receivers are particularly useful when you need to read sensors in
one or more groups of Smart-Vue modules that are located remotely from
the Smart-Vue Server computer used to monitor the data.
CAUTION: This receiver includes an automatic TCP/IP connection
feature. Installation requires knowledge of your organization’s IP addresses,
particularly static IP addresses. If you do not have access to this information,
