FAQ: Manual upload works, but Auto does not.

I have set times to upload the web pages in the FTP/internet setup, but it does not work at

that times, but If I click on action, update internet now, it uploads the files. Answer: Check

you have the main internet switch turned ON in the connection setup in the FTP/internet

setup, or, if you are using the customise internet setup (i.e. you have the switch ON there),

then make sure you set the times to create AND upload the files their (using the customise

internet and file creation I recommend (ignore the not in use yet parts), because then you

have control!.

FAQ: Where can I purchase a Weather Station?

For New Zealand or Australia, then try: http:/ / www. weatherdownunder. net or http:/ /

www. metinstruments. co. nz or http:/ / www. scientificsales. co. nz

For the UK, try http:/ / www. ukweathershop. co. uk

FAQ: Which weather station type do you recommend?

If you can afford it then a Davis VP. A Rain wise MKII is a good station, as its also wireless

and has 1 second update rate. Next I would recommend a Oregan Scientific (or clone)

WMR968 type station. Next would be a La Crosse (or clone) 2310 type station, or a 3600

type station (only every 1 minute update rate). You could add a 1 wire weather station

(gives windspeed and direction for every 1 second update rate) to the weather stations with

slower update rates, cost only 90$ (US), with Weather Display ability to do that.

FAQ: FTP upload stalls when uploading a file (it just sits

there)

A common cause of this issue is the need to use Passive mode with the FTP connection. to

turn on Passive mode, do the following:

1. €On the Weather Display main window, click Control Panel.

1. €On the Control panel, under Web site configurations, click

FTP/internet/metar/e-mail/report/connections Setup Client/Server Setup.

1. €On the Connections tab, select the Use Passive mode check box.

Also, not all FTP servers support the file rename option (mainly Windows-based servers), so

you might turn off the rename feature. To turn off the rename feature, do the following:

1. €On the Weather Display main window, click Control Panel.

1. €On the Control panel, under Web site configurations, click

FTP/internet/metar/e-mail/report/connections Setup Client/Server Setup.

1. €On the Connections tab, clear the Rename the file on the server after uploading

check box.

The FTP log should provide you with error messages and allow you to see exactly where the

FTP failure is occurring. To review the FTP log, do the following:

1 2 ... 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 ... 190 191
