LoggerNet for Linux Installation Guide
1. Introduction
LoggerNet for Linux is a port of the Campbell Scientific LoggerNet server
product and some clients to the Linux Operating System along with one copy
of LoggerNet Remote for Windows. This package does not provide Linux
based GUI client applications to administer the LoggerNet server or to monitor
data from the same. These client applications are available in the LoggerNet
Remote software under Windows and are able to communicate with a Linux
based LoggerNet server. Additional information on the LoggerNet Remote
clients can be found in the LoggerNet manual. The following services are
provided by this product:
1.1 LoggerNet Server
Provides communication with the dataloggers over various media including
serial ports, TCP/IP connections, and Linux compatible phone modems.
Besides services provided to LoggerNet clients, this server also provides
automatic (scheduled) data collection. This program is installed as a daemon
and will be automatically started when the host computer is started.
1.2 CoraScript Interpreter
This native Linux client connects to the server and, through command line
interaction with the user, allows the user to administer the LoggerNet network
map including settings and allows the user to perform maintenance operations
on devices such as program file send, clock check/set, etc.
1.3 Logger Data Monitor Protocol Server (LDMP)
This native Linux client provides a simple text-based protocol to export data
from the LoggerNet server via TCP connections as that data is collected. This
server can be configured to allow the connecting client to specify what data
will be sent and supports any number of concurrent client connections. For
more information on running this server, see Section 4.4, Configuring the
Export Daemons (LDMP and LDEP).
1.4 Logger Data Export Protocol Server (LDEP)
This native Linux client provides a simple text-based protocol to export data
from the LoggerNet server via TCP connections as that data is collected. This
server differs from the monitor server in that it supports only one client
connection at a time and the data that is sent is dependent upon its command
line options and the data that it has previously sent. For more information on
running this server, see Section 4.4 Configuring the Export Daemons (LDMP
and LDEP).
