Introduction
The BS1000 is a receiver station for the AREXX Multi Logger system. Like the BS500
station, the BS1000 receives sensor data via wireless transmission and sends these data
via a USB interface to a C. The additional Ethernet link enables the BS1000 to send
measured values via a TC /I protocol. This interface allows also the transmission of
Messenger e-mails. In addition to that, the built-in web server can display recent
measurement values. With the latest software it is also possible to synchronize the
data of several BS-1000 or BS-500 receivers.

Software Installation
rior to using the BS1000 via USB, you have to install the supplied software on your C.
Insert the supplied CD-ROM into the CD drive of your C. After insertion the
installation wizard will appear. If the automatic set up has been disabled in your
Windows software, you can activate the window by opening the Explorer file, go to the
CD drive and double-click on the default.htm file.
Select your language on the installation screen and then select the installation option.
Follow the instructions on the screen.
Installation of the receiver
Once you have installed the software and connected the BS1000 to the 5V power supply,
you can connect the receiver module (BS1000) to your computer via the supplied USB
lead. Windows will now start installing the required RF_USB driver. Depending on your
Windows version, the installation process may slightly vary:
User manual BS1000 LAN base station 3 / 18 July 5 2010
Windows XP:
lease select ‘No, not this time’ and click on ‘Next’.
Choose the automatic software installation and click on ‘Next’
User manual BS1000 LAN base station 4 / 18 July 5 2010
A Windows-Logo test has not been requested for the RF_USB-driver.
Therefore click on: ‘Continue Anyway’.
When the installation is complete, click on ‘Finish’.
Once the driver has been installed, you can start the application.
You can start the program via the start menu: Start->All rograms->Temperature-Logger.
On the left side a (still empty) sensor list is displayed. On the right side is a space for a
graphic display of the measured temperature curves. On the left bottom side of the screen
a status bar displays the message 'Ready'.
User manual BS1000 LAN base station 5 / 18 July 5 2010
Software operation
The temperature data will be received and stored as soon as the Windows system has
been started. Therefore it is not necessary to start the temperature-logger program to store
new data.
The program offers following functions:
•Graphic display of the measured temperatures for every individual sensor
•Settings for every individual sensor
•Export data in various formats
For further details please refer to the on-line help for the program.
In addition to that, the CD contains two extra tools: the NetworkConfig program to help
you detect the network parameters that the BS1000 is using, and the RuleEditor which is
a tool to build the messenger-control file that you need to control the built-in Messenger
facility. Furthermore, the BS1000 web server offers some administrative pages for
various settings.
NetworkConfig
The NetworkConfig-tool requests the network parameters of a BS1000 connected via
USB. To this end, the temperature-logger software should be installed already. These
network parameters allow you to look directly at the BS1000 web server. The standard
settings of the BS1000 sets the network name to 'log' followed by two digits. This name
is depicted on the BS1000 housing. With this name you can browse directly to the
webserver of the BS1000. The networkconfig tool is used to read or change its network
settings directly, if first connection is not possible.
In addition to the data logger, the web server contains administrative pages in which you
can set the parameters of the various functions:
- Network parameter
- E-mail parameter
- Messenger parameter
- Sensor parameter
- Internet time parameter
- assword
- Event Log parameter
In conjunction to the temperature logger software, the network config program displays
following window:
User manual BS1000 LAN base station 6 / 18 July 5 2010
The window contains the following fields:
- Use DHC : If this box is checked, the BS1000 will use the network settings of an
available DHC server. In this case, the other fields below remain inactive. If this box is
not checked, the network settings are static and the other fields must be filled in.
- Address: the current I address of the BS1000
- NetMask: the utilized net mask setting
- Gateway: the utilized Gateway-address
- DNS server: the current DNS server
- Network name: the network name of the BS1000
- DNS suffix: the network suffix as indicated by the BS1000.
The Read button asks the BS1000 to supply the parameters.
The Write button writes the parameters into the BS1000.
The BS1000 web server is located at the address defined by the network name, followed
by the DNS network addition. In the example shown above the BS1000 is located at the
address: http://log40.lan.
The standard network name is 'log', followed by 2 digits. This name is indicated on the
housing of the BS1000.
This method allows you to browse directly to the indicated address without any tools.

BS1000 eb 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. lease note that an eventual blocking by a
firewall and/or browser should be disabled as long as these apply to the BS1000.
For every single sensor, the Initial page shows the most recent measurements:
In this case, the latest measurement received per sensor is registered. The time indication
is formatted according to the standard setting of the computer. The rssi column displays
the radio strength of the signal received.
You can access the admin pages via the link called 'Admin' on top of the screen.
After entering the User ID and the password (the standard settings are admin/admin) the
program activates following window:

The active Firmware version is displayed on the screen. Further down we will explain the
links in the left column:
Network
This window contains the same data that have already been explained in the
NetworkConfig tool. You might update the settings via the Submit button, if necessary.
User manual BS1000 LAN base station 9 / 18 July 5 2010
E-mail
This page determines the data of the e-mail server address that is used to send the
Messenger records to an e-mail address.
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.
Sensors
The values of the incoming measurements are converted according to the sensor
definition file. This definition file is an xml file that contains the required parameters for
the conversion. If new sensor types are added, the relevant definition file can be uploaded
here so that the BS1000 can use these indications for the operation. When you submit an
empty file field, the default internal definition file is used.
User manual BS1000 LAN base station 10 / 18 July 5 2010
Messen er
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. When you submit an empty file field, the current rule file is erased, and no
rules are applied.
Names
Instead of showing sensors by id, sensors can be shown by their names. An xml file with
a namelist can be uploaded on this page. The namelist file is created by a small tool from
the temperature logger software (Name list editor). Besides manual entry of names, a list
can be imported by the tool from the temperature logger software.
