Receiving Data from AWS
The software is shipped with a default configuration that corresponds to
the generic weather station settings. However, the default configuration
may require setting the station-dependent parameters.
Below is a proposed task list of minimum post-installation configuration
steps.
1. Log in as administrator. From the main menu, select System - Log
In as Administrator. (See Chapter 5, Administrator's Guide, on
page 27.)
2. From the main menu, select View - Settings. A configuration
dialog opens. Select the Application tab and select sub-item
Communications from the left.
3. Depending on your AWS set-up, select either TCP/IP server,
TCP/IP client, or serial line protocol. Make sure that the
communications parameters match with the AWS settings. If the
AWS is sending data using TCP/IP, enable the TCP/IP server
option and enter the local IP address. If AWS is operating as
TCP/IP server, enter its IP address. If serial communications are
used, select serial port and line parameters.
4. Click the Save button to save the settings.
