CSIWEBS CSI Web Server

Overview

Current Version: 1.6

The CSI Web Server software package includes the CSI Web Server, CSI Web Server Administrator, and the Web Publisher. The CSI Web Server runs on a PC and displays projects created using RTMC or RTMC Pro in any web browser that supports HTML5. The Web Server Administrator allows you to configure or check the status of the Web Server, and easily browse to one or more websites running on the Web Server. The Web Publisher is used to publish your RTMC or RTMC Pro project to either a PC website running the CSI Web Server or to an HTTP-enabled data logger such as a CR6 or CR1000 with an NL120 attached. (Publishing to a data logger requires an RTMC Pro project.) In addition, the Web Publisher has display settings that allow you to show other tabs for data browsing and network status.

The CSI Web Server package is included with RTMC Pro. It can also be purchased separately for use with the standard RTMC Development application that is bundled with LoggerNet, LoggerNet Admin, and RTDAQ.

Technical Description

The CSI Web Server allows you to view your RTMC projects using a web browser. You can also change input locations and public variable values, toggle ports/flags, and browse through historical report data from a web browser.

Included with the CSI Web Server are the CSI Web Server Administrator and the Web Publisher. The CSI Web Server Administrator allows you to configure the web server, check the status of the web server, and easily browse to sites running on the web server. The Web Publisher allows you to publish your RTMC or RTMC Pro project to either a PC website running the CSI Web Server or to an HTTP-enabled datalogger such as a CR6 or CR1000 with an NL120 attached. (Publishing to a datalogger requires an RTMC Pro project.) In addition, the Web Publisher has display settings that allow you to show other tabs for data browsing and network status.

Security for the CSI Web Server is provided through password file(s) that control the rights of different users to view data, change data values, and publish websites.

The CSI Web Server supports HTTPS encrypted communication. To use HTTPS, a Private Key file and Certificate File must be obtained from a third-party Certificate Authority.

For best performance, RTMC version 4.x development tools should be used to develop projects for CSI Web Server.

  1. Can a network camera be connected directly to a CR1000 or CR3000?

    A network camera can be connected directly to a CR1000 or CR3000 via an NL115 or NL120 and a crossover cable. The datalogger can retrieve and store images from the network camera. Then the images can be viewed or retrieved from the datalogger in a variety of ways. These include using LoggerNet, the datalogger’s web server, the datalogger’s FTP client/server, or the datalogger’s email client.
